the sequencing on this 
much better than part 1!!!!!!The production
Yep and she has one of the best verses on the whole album!
YES
Hope this joints reception on social media get Lauryn in the studio with Hitboy for Queen's Disease III
There was no disrespect in the song
Can't argue that Nas' production is bad anymore, so now the complaint is Nas' production is TOO good
Yall ain't listening...
I never said the production is bad. It's not, the production on this shyt is amazing.
I'm saying specifically for NAS, he's at his best on looped beat. Not all the extra shyt Hitboy has sometimes. That's all. I love the second half of this album.

Man, this is nice! I stayed up last night and gave it a complete listen and it’s on par with KD1, which was my favorite album of 2020.
Store Run sounds amazing in the whip…

I think this is considerably better than the first album.
Some of my complaints about that album still aren't resolved; I still think Nas has taken a step back as a rapper and Hitboy has some nice beats but there is a hollowness to his production that means I just can't look at him as a top tier producer.
Now saying that, I think these songs feel much more fleshed out than the first album. Nas' writing feels stronger and more focused. Even the best songs on KD felt minor to me compared to Nas' better songs. There's stuff on here that feels like Nas operating closer to his best. To me something like Death Row East is what Nas does best....takes a subject and just sorta reflects on it in an almost stream of consciousness way.
Hitboy has done better too. Less throwaway dollar store Roc-a-Fella beats. Some dope beat switches. He's never gonna be one of my favorite producers but him and Nas clearly got something good going on creatively.

gotta give this a few full spins. i liked what i heard overall
The goat forever walking in valley of habitual line steppers...they wont let up
Yall gotta chill with this shyt. Nas is my favorite rapper and I'll defend his shyt against anybody else.
But I'm not gonna come in here and say everything I'd flames just for online points. Just told my opinion. I really like this album btw and it's miles better than KD1

The good thing with Erick and Parrish was their flows were alreadyeven in their prime so they sound like they never missed a beat
