Great album man

 

[T.he I.nformant]

So dope, nice tribute

Makes me realize how much I miss Biggie

Culture got robbed—can you imagine if he and some of our other hip-hop heroes were going on 30 summers? And if they had been able to create together? And inspire one another?

Get Light is a great record—love that Party and Bullshyt sample

I wish I could join in on these conversations. Theses dudes have no idea what they are talking about

I am going to sound petty because I know 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10 is a good review...but I feel like if this was anyone else's album they would get a 5/5. But with Nas you can't give him that because then you are saying it's as good as Illmatic or something, even if a 4/5 album for Nas is in reality a much better album than a 4/5 album from whomever.

You are correct

There really isn't a bad song album is crazy consistent throughout

Crazy thing is. Out of all the projects I don’t think there is any flat out bad songs on any of them.

Yall think Nas over-raps/over-rhymes sometimes? Like he's too wordy? Lil discussion I was having at the barbershop today. I think that's what some of these hatin ass publications who talk about his flow being messed up really mean...he's madd wordy.

Post-Stillmatic I think the flow/cadence is way more sped up or sumn. His voice has changed a lot too, it's not as grimy/gutter/cool as it was.














Sounds almost like a different MC. Both are better than pretty much everybody tho, lol.

I think he is less wordy now. I think being less wordy fits more for today.

You are correct

We got Rap Reviews, The Independent, All Music, and Beats Per Minute coming up probably next week.

All of them gave KD2 at least an 8/10.

I’m guessing Rap Reviews and The Independent give him 9/10. They rock with Nas.

Again, I HOPE Pitchfork sits this one out

So many times over the years I've been listening to Juan Ep I've sat there thinking "how the fukk d they not know this?" or I wanted to interject with an opinion.

 

[kes929]

What's taking Nas team so long to print up those iLLrrelevant shirts and Hoodies lol

Great idea
