Ok, finally digested this record (spun this record a couple of times before, but wanted to compare it to whatever else dropped so far this year.

Off first listen, I didn't really find anything overtly trash, so that's always good. Now that I've overly heard this, it's consistent. I knew Hit-Boy would be a good fit with Nas. I think Car #85 and King's Disease are on their own tier, but the rest of it is very interchangeable. Only song I really didn't like was Blue Benz and 27 Summers was way too short. Don Toliver was a big disappointment jacking the Ella Mai "Trip" hook. Didn't work for me because it just made me wanna listen to Trip. All Bad is was meh at first but it grew on me. Sounds like .Paak feat. Nas though.

So far, the only 3 rap projects I'd put over this are Gibbs/Alchemist- Alfredo, Logic's No Pressure and Curren$y x Harry Fraud- The OutRunners.

I'd still like to hear Nas do a project with Harry Fraud or someone like that, but I'll say this: If this is what Nas wants to do for the rest of his career (and by that I mean these projects where the production is mostly done by one guy), I'm with it.

sue me Only track that didn't grow on me. 1 out of 13.

Guess I'll just enjoy the other 12

both valid points, but I grew up on Nas. his albums are the soundtrack to me growing up so it feels personal when he releases something that imo is up there as one of his most rounded ever projects and it doesn't do numbers. i'm STILL bumping the album, start to finish, no skips

and also the whole legacy artist tag, whilst also valid, always feels like a slight. conjures up images of artists who are 30+ years in the game doing shows in vegas but only ever playing their old shyt because they haven't released any new material in a decade

The Legacy artist tag is for people who have an incredible body of work, but we don't really wanna hear anything new from them because we've already decided that they'll never make good new shyt again.

Mariah Carey is a great example of this. Legacy act. Her songs from 25 years ago do better than the shyt she dropped 2 years ago.
