He does that a lot with his features. Some of the lines are actually relevant and have something to say, but most of it is covered up in random bullshyt that it doesn't even register. It's like he doesn't have anything to talk about besides a couple bars, so he crams in as much filler as possible to have a full verse.

Like the "Killer" remix. It was a big deal when Eminem called out Snoop on "Zeus" and he dedicated a whole section of his interview on New Year's Eve to talking about it. He mentions on the remix that him and Snoop are good now and they got Dr. Dre's back. This is a big deal considering what happened months ago, but you wouldn't even know or remember he said this because those lines are buried in a bunch of gibberish.

Or on "No Favors" (arguably the worst feature he's ever had in his career) when 98% of what he said had absolutely nothing to do with what Big Sean talked about. Except the last two lines. Literally the last two lines, and by that point, you're already :scust: because of how many bars he wasted.

Dude probably walks around the farm thinking about randon shyt and types that shyt on some computer... Then when he in release mode just piece those lines up :mjlol:

30 years in the game, putting out non-pop singles, and still giving the pop acts a run for their money

Pretty much EXACTLY what I predicted! Congrats to the GOAT! 28 Summers and that wasn’t even the goal:blessed:




Never go off first estimates. As Ziggiy said, NaS is always underestimated sales wise. They are saying NaS's is pacing for the highest new Debut and the Highest Physical Sales of new releases. He's only behind Billie Ellish (Pop) and an Old George Harrison re-released album (Beatles) in Physical sales. The two Artist Above Him are much more pop oriented. So if this holds

Nasir: #5
LTII: #10
KD: #5
KDII #3

So That would be NaS's 15th Top 10 Album. 12th Top 5 Album. I like that NaS is getting streams but having strong Physical sales again. Can someone tell me who from 1991 is still moving units like this? Some people tried to say 51k was a flop, how? Who from 1991 is moving units? Only Hov. LL hasn't dropped an album in years Maybe Will Smith if he somehow raps again. But to put up a Top 3 Debut amongst a new generation of Rappers and Pop Stars is wild. Stop comparing NaS to these rappers who really just got in the game. He's doing this 30 years after his first verse. That's Four Decades of Top 10 Billboard Albums. NaS got more Platinum albums than most rappers anyway. He's is still moving units with all these new rappers out today and his music was out before a lot of them were born or they were kids.

The last thing I would want to see is Nas fans become the type of insufferable, self entitled type of fans that the Beyhive and the Barbz are. That ain't healthy.

I'm just gonna leave this here:

^^^ Nas made this statement for a reason.

I bought this out of a Walmart mag section back in the day :russ: It was the only way to get in depth news back then. That and The Source. Word Up was still around. Them shyts used to be lined up at the grocery store register with all the gossip mags
