:stopitslime: cmon nikka album ain't been out a week and a song from it is the most replayable by a MC who been in the game for 30 years :camby:
Nas dont have songs i want to play over and over. I can listen to 40 side working out which is something i cant say for any other nas song besides Hate Me Now.

It’s crazy how Hitboy keeps tapping more Nas potential.

I have count me in on repeat. Mann that echo of the “ do you feel what you are “ shyt is so dope plus the synthesizer in the background. The little details like that is what makes music so addicting.

Also the added instruments at 2:25 is :wow:
Count Me In is the one man. Lol

Hitboy production is beautiful on this album and Nas flows too :wow:

This is up there with IWW, Ilmatic, Lost Tapes and Stillmatic.

I thought KD was 4/5 but this really hit that 5/5 level. Nas came through and may have just done his 6th classic (Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, Life Is Good, KD II)

YKTV is just aight and EPMD 2 is a skip personally as I find the beat boring and Em is unlistenable, but I'm not one of those pedantic fukkers who treat music like a sport and need every song to be 5/5 to give it 5/5

The vibe, the quality of the production, Nas' lyrics, how good the highs are on this. This is 5/5 levels.

This album is really good. I actually think Nas & Hitboy outdid KD1 with this one because the chemistry is way more apparent on this. The sequencing on this album is brilliant because the run from "Store Run" to "Nas is Good" had me like :wow:

I think Moments and No Phony Love might be my favourite recent Nas songs. I hope people are gonna start putting more respect on Hitboy's name because he's been an elite producer for a while now.

Side note; Eminem has zero melodic ability now. Yeah, from a technical aspect, he raps well but his verse could have been recorded over any beat and it would have sounded the same. You listen to him and Nas back to back his disregard for rhyming in the pocket melodically is so apparent. I fully have to skip his verse.
