Forgot about Rare. That was dope. I wasn’t crazy about the Spicy video.

Spicy video was mid.

Loving this video…. Fire

I don’t like that video at all for the most part. shyt could’ve really been some organic NYC shyt but it fell kinda flat imo. No way is it one of best. I even like 27 summers video better.

I love that video, the whole playing chess by yourself "You are your only opponent" part really resonated with me

They were on the right track with the outside scenes but the energy wasn’t there. I blame it on the pandemic.

They had enough people it’s just that they did too much. It was too glossy imo. Unneeded special effects etc. Video shoulda been lit.

When IWW and Stillmatic dropped people said they couldn’t touch illmatic. When Lost Tapes dropped people said it wasn’t a real album. When God Son dropped they said it wasn’t touching Stillmatic.

People always come up with reasons not to acknowledge new greatness by comparing it to his old classics.

But KD3 feels special. It definitely gave me those feelings where you know you are listening to something great. Same feelings I got off Stillmatic and gods son. It’s that feeling where there is nothing else in the world like this. It’s that once in a lifetime shyt.

I don't really see this as a slight against Nas, but more so because he sets a different standard with each quality release. Also, he has like 17 albums.

I can't really rank this as I'm still in the moment, but KD3 feels like a classic.

That song as a whole... sucked. (2 me)
The creative liberties in the video was dope but lets not sit here and act like that was a grimy beat.. Mayb if Havoc made it it would have been. That video was supposed tobe a drill, asap, crossover single. But the bars from NaS atleast were cringe.... and the beat needed a facelift.

Rare however was a CLASSIC NaS single video execution was perfect as well.

The beat and song were fine. The video want even like a drill video. It was too much. It wasn’t lit enough and was too shiny. shyt should’ve shown people dancin, poppin bottles, gettin lit. shyt should’ve been some hood fun. It just wasn’t.

I'm confused how somethins is badly it yet shiny....
& wtf is dancing to that shytty piano loop?
Anyways I agree to disagree the creative elements made the video for me.
That and the firm cameo.
Imm hoping to get a firm album soon. But we'll see.

I never hated "The cross" like everybody else did. That shyt was fire to me from day 1.....people just hated cause it was an Eminem beat. And Nas murdered that shyt. But regardless. Even if you wanna bring up God Son's lows. Then you gotta admit nothing on KD3 Is fukking with God Son's highs. And to me that's what really matters.

The first time you heard Book of Rhymes that shyt shook you to your soul. It was legendary the moment the beat dropped. God Son had plenty of those moments. And kd3 simply doesn't. You always remember the legendary shyt over anything.

Not to get too far off topic but The Cross is a great track, period. Classic hook too. Beat is generic but not distractingly bad or anything, and it fits

"I can't keep a bytch cause none of em come before little Des
I can't be too rich, too many hoes lined up for sex
I can't rest until my nikkas in houses with pretty maids
Watering flowers in em
While my nikkas walk around in they trousers, grinnin
Gotta keep a lot of heat, .30 cals, 10 millimeters
.40 cals
Plus the Heckler to set y'all straight
Ya too light? I shoot your freckles out
Ya too dark? The infrared show you what the TEC about"

Genuinely curious why the coli cares so much about reviews, especially reviews by cacs or hipster publications
Stopped caring about reviews after The Sauce fell off (who for all their faults at least had writers from the culture who knew what they were talking about)
fukk I care what some trust fund hipster baby cac at pitchfork has to say about Hip Hop?
All those fukkers from sites and blogs take money from the same labels whose music they're reviewing, FOH
The GOAT said it best: "I don't believe in none of that shyt, your facts are backwards"
