Yo, Nas the illest ever man,
. So many flows, so much heavy content while still maintaining the braggadocio fly guy rapper thing, so much musical range (Hitboy is a musical genius, he really really smoked this album). So many bars, so many jammin ass records, so much heavy talk, etc... I can go on and on...and that ties into my one and only little lightweight nitpicky gripe...the album kind of went on and on. Imagine if the last song was "Once a man, Twice a child"...
, just 12 perfect 10 out of 10 records,
. Maybe have "Get Light" as the bonus,
.
13-16 are all dope ass records, there are no bad joints on here...I don't even think there are any average joints (Maybe 17, the Mets bonus joint, but that shyt hard too lol)...I just think it's like...we just had the delicious 40oz Tomahawk joint with the lobster mac at Ruth's Chris and we so stuffed and delighted with our meal that we can't even eat another bite...then the waiter brings out lobster tails and the stuffed mushrooms and all that, lol, it's overkill a little bit...and for someone with Nas's subject matter, overkill could lose/turn off the A.D.D. "Nas is boring. Nas raps about the same stuff" ass weirdo sect. That's it tho, my gripe aint really a gripe, I'm just thinking about how to avoid the hatin ass people and their complaints, lol, screw them tho.
But yeah, B+ for me, like a 89 out of 100 (is that a B+ or an A-?). Excellent album, damn near perfect...definitely the best album he's released with Hitboy and probably his best album since IWW.

For me...looks like that's the consensus (it seemed like yall was frontin on "Magic" in here but I won't stone yall for seemingly switchin up, this is a joyous moment right now, lol. Salute to the best to ever do it...by a country mile. Jigga a distant 2nd at this point, for real.
