Finally got around to listening to this (listened straight through three times now). I think overall, this is the best of his albums with Hitboy. I still think King’s Disease 2 has my two favorite songs out of the four albums (Store Run and Nas is Good). Also, I’m glad Nas actually did one of his patented concept tracks with Beef. I think my favorite tracks off this right now are WTF SMH, Get Light and First Time, but this is subject to change. I will say there are no tracks on here that are just meh. I can find one or a couple of examples on each of his previous Hitboy albums that I didn’t care for as much (not that they were totally wack or anything).

Yeah people going crazy over the sample flip if they familiar with Five Hearbeats (which we all are but we the last of a dying breed). But I think Michael and Quincy is the one. Folks losing their minds over that.
I REALLY wanted this. Only thing I can think of for the song never being released is perhaps because the sample has been done to death?
Weekend fukks with Nas heavy too. Hopefully we can get them on an official song together in the future (That Belly joint not withstanding)
1. Thun! (Long stories told fast! Jail phone call shyt, everybody can feel that. Perfection. That 3rd verse so serious)
2. Reminisce
3. Recession Proof
4. Michael & Quincy
5. Serious Interlude
6. Legit
7. I'm on Fire (That sample is amazing, is that Alicia Keys?)
8. Hood2Hood
9. WTF SMH
10. Ghetto Reporter or 30
To me all these shyts are almost a perfect 10,
Yall got this in Nas top 5?
Illmatic
IWW
Stillmatic
KD 3
Lost Tapes
For me. I used to have Stillmatic ahead of IWW but I been heavy on IWW lately, the production isn't really that crazy but he was spittin spittin on there.

Well KDIII is a stark contrast from Nasir
KDIII is amazing, Nasir is bottom tier.

17 tracks and No features is still wild to me still. At this stage of his career. We still getting dope hooks and concepts. A lot of dudes just rap Nas is till an elite song writer.

Nas owns the label. I don't know why yall keep glossing over that fact though

would be curious to know how much Nas gets from this as his label and owning the music selling 30k vs someone selling big numbers i.e 200k and being a recording artist on a label.
