How the beat lacks any aggression. I mean Nas intros/1st tracks are usual classic (Stillmatic Intro, Queens Get The Money, NYSOM 1 and 2, The Message, Life We Choose, Message to the Feds, Money Over Bullshyt)

I can't mention No Introduction in the same breath as those joints and not call it blasphemy. Its straight up anti climatic to me.

no introduction gets better with each listen and some of yall are hatin on it ? :wtf:

I posted this in anther thread but the first verse is my favorite on the whole album ...just so dope ...I get chills and shyt


P.S. 111 at free lunch, embarrassed but managed to get a plate

We was kids hungry, Mom's working I was famished, she getting home late

So I decided now I'm in charge
Either stay full of starve, corner store like Mr. Spare-a-Quarter
Before Air Jordans, Kareem Abdul-Jabbars
Trying to cop quarters and trying to move that hard
Roll with a shooting squad
How could I not succumb? How could I not partake?
15 I got a gun, 16 I robbed a train

Licked off a shot for fun, what's got inside my brain?
A hustler's job ain't done, ‘til he becomes a king

And what other rapper ever took 4 years between solo albums and drop shyt this good. You know other rappers right now are :sadbron:

That' actually the problem I think. A lot of these guy are dopping so much material at such a fast rate, they're not even bring any new experiences or perspectives to these tapes and albums. Big Krit, Curren$y, etc are all pretty much the same person on every release.

No Intro - Locomotive - Queens Story - Accident Murderers is a godly 4 track streak. It can never live up to that level.

Some of the bonus tracks are fukking insane though.. how did Nasty, Trust and Black Bond get left off?!?
