This might be NaSir's worst album......it's just not it.

NaS is my favorite rapper but doesn't sound good rapping fast like he does on some of these tracks.

It’s definitely not the worst at all but I think comparing it to Magic 1 and the KD series will throw people off

Listening to it you it’s a bit bettet

It's not 50's fault hitboy gave him a weak ass beat. Have they ever heard a 50 record in their life :what:.....at least give him something he can ride on.
Can't blame a mid verse on the beat.

This ain't 2005 or 2007, 50 just ain't got it no more.

I actually like the beat, it's the same sample 9th used for The Bodega.

No disrespect at all but that’s expected from you and a couple others. You also enjoyed Nasir? I’m not saying it’s that status but it’s in the bottom 5 for sure…. The tunes sounded repetitive and screamed hitboy all over it. To the point it’s tiring. And I’m not saying I don’t want to see kd4. Still excited to see what they do and never will sleep but this album can make you think it’s time to move on.
Nasir wasn’t my favorite but it was solid. Not at the top of the discography

The Nas enthusiasts gonna hate this lol

KD3 was such a great album! Beats & Concepts! This is just lacking! Expected a fire Intro and that nonsense set the mood for the album. How anyone can like Abracadabra is beyond me! Started off 0-2!
Ended better not counting One Mic / One Gun!

On first listen....

4.5 Mics because I'd rather him spit on a fire beat on the Intro
