Queens story is fire. You're buggin out.


The Hamilton track is the glaring blemish. The singing, the drum less music....it's nauseating. Everything else is listenable to good to great.

Some rappers need to hang it up, but Nas should rap for the rest of his life. Nobody paints pictures with lyrics like Nas. NOBODY

This album is more consistent than Stillmatic, and hands down better than all his other albums besides IWW & Illmatic

no one in hiphop history has the vivid imagery that nas has displayed throughout his career...

hes in the class of muscial legends/ legendary poets


heads really dont understand the talents theis man posses'

hes an amazing human =being....

yo i gotta apologize for making everybody here think worlds an addiction would be a skippable track... but like i said, the conditions of the listening session i attended made it difficult to focus on the lyrics... the way i heard it, it just felt like nas was rappin off beat and had tried to get A. Hamilton to make it emo... but that shyt is way deeper than that!

btw i would need to listen again but i was way more impressed by the 2nd verse... as opposed to everybody sayin the 3rd is incredible



damn the sequencing is terrible after that....how do u go from that to SOS... and then to the classicness IWW-ness of You Wouldnt Understand....

SOS aint even as bad that i thought the 1st time i heard it at the listening session, now that i hear it thru good heaphones...but how its placed makes it sooooooo hate-able



didnt i tell yall victoria monet had the best chorus on there?? that song to me is incredible, besides daughters, one of the only you could actually play to any non nas fan & get immediate cosign... shyt as it is now wouldnt even feel misplaced on IWW

what's ya favorite track on this joint?..



i only played it once last night in bed. probably queens story or the buckwild joint (you wouldnt understand) initially though i even liked some of stuff towards the end a lot.


i think i'm adding 'stay' to the wack list. i really hate the anthony hamilton shyt and the intro is weak.

so which one of you jitterbugs can place the vocal sample on bye baby?

c'mon....

i wonder if heads get the sample on the 3rd(?) queens story verse... when he goes "nikkaz is very hungry, for that bank robbery..."
