The thing is a couple of weeks ago the media were going all in at her for her racist conversations and now it’s all forgotten and trying to portray that nas is bullying her ... this was not a dis this was a social commentary on some white supremisists

Gotta love how that writer says “I understand the privilege of being a white person writing about black artist. Btw if you think your problem is that I’m white, that’s fine.”


The only misogynist line on the album to me was the estrogen line in the intro. There are moments on the album when I can imagine a woman rolling her eyes but that’s expected when men rap/sing about lost love. Someone gonna get annoyed, it’s understandable. Especially since Nas rarely discusses his own faults in a relationship. I’d understand a women being like “nah” lol.

Friend of mine said she didn’t like the album because Nas said the common link of strong men like Malcolm X was that their women were silent. I pointed out he said “solid” not silent and she was like ok I get it now. People are looking for reasons to hate...due to Kelis.

He said Solid not Silent

He said Solid not Silent

Yea, my coworker lmao

I work with an Asian dude who is a huge Nas stan; in fact he was the one who DM'd me about the album announcement while we were in a zoom meeting. We've been talking about the album here or there during zoom down times, and this chick we work with was like "I like Nas but he lost me with that album when he said women with great men should be silent." Like I said, I corrected her and she was like ok. Her favorite song on the album is Replace Me btw lol.

Lol some Women are looking for a reason to hate Nas

He said Solid not Silent

I read his review and the pitchfork one and the they both were clearly tailored to fit the preconceived narratives they had in mind. Clearly hating on Nas following the A) he hasn’t come close to matching Illmatic and B) he’s still mining from Illmatic formulas. At this point you would think that a “professional” is would know that Nas has had plenty critically acclaimed albums since Illmatic and more importantly this album is literally nothing like Illmatic and isn’t mining anything from the themes, stories or flows of Illmatic.

pitchfork and rollingstone are a fukking joke when it comes to rap reviews
