I loved it, actually. But I loved Animal Ambition and pretty much all the tapes leading up to it :yeshrug:

I can see people who tuned out of 50 at some point not fukking with this, but he sounds in line with how he's been rapping for years now. And his lyrics were (modernday-)50ish.

Possibly my favorite track on there.

Yeah Nas just flatout raps and flows better, but they brought different energies so they complimented each other.

Man, I don’t know with some of y’all. I saw a post where dude didn’t like one track? Another dude said the 21 Savage track was the best one? What in the world lol.

I feel like some of y’all drop that ‘I love Nas’ and ‘Nas is my GOAT/in my T5’ before shytting on the album to try and trick us into thinking you’re sincere. I’m sorry, but I don’t see how any fan of Nas can be displeased with this project. Man is spittin’ flames, AGAIN. Outside of the Intro and bonus, 9 tracks and there’s atleast 6 (and that’s being conservative…honestly all 9 are fire to me) that if you’re not feeling, then why are you in this thread to begin with, cause you’re clearly not a Nas fan.

And the Hit-Boy hate is so expected and played out now, I wouldn’t be surprised if y’all had posts saved in Notes that you just copy and paste. We get it, you don’t like him. Guess what? Most of us do, and, more importantly, Nas does lol. So either move along already, or go ahead and get a bunch more pastas saved, cause he’s not going anywhere.

:what:

This gate keeping y'all try to do is ridiculous. You're mad that people don't like the music to the degree you like it so that means they're not Nas fans and have to leave the thread. Are you listening to yourself? We're just not fanatics.

You want the thread to be an echo chamber of nothing but compliments. It doesn't work that way. You don't need to fight for Nas' honor. He'll be alright if some of us don't feel this album.

I think a lot of times we don’t get full projects from other legends with him cause those guys don’t make the best use of time. Dr Dre we know will sit on it, Kanye committed producer malpractice with how he put Nasir last minute. And then there’s Preemo who I know people wanted him but as he got older he would be sloppy with deadlines (peep the story with how Nas is Like was last minute or how he wanted Nas to push HHID to the new year when he was asked to cook something). So I don’t know, I can sense already the discourse that’s gonna make Alchemist the new Premier :pachaha:and he’s the only one besides Hit knocking out these producer/artist albums

We’ll see what happens. I think Nas likes that Hit is younger and likes the modern stuff traditionalists don’t


One thing I will also say is some people are jumping the gun. They never liked that Nas linked with a producer who didn’t have an underground/NY pedigree like Hit and so the first sign of something that’s just okay have them abandoning everything.

LOL!! That's a lot of facts in one post.

Thing about Alchemist though, if he can make really dope albums with dudes like Larry and Boldy, imagine what he could do for Nas. They already have mad history. It's time for them to knock out that whole album together. I understand Nas is up there in "age" by Hip Hop standards, but he's a legend, he doesn't have to worry about doing what's current or teaming up with younger talent.

Someone pointed out earlier that the younger acts that Billboard will tell you are the "biggest" rappers in the game, have had to cancel shows because they can't even sell tickets. Meanwhile, Nas and Wu are selling out their shows. So it goes to show you, Hip Hop legends don’t have to chase what the newer acts are doing. They can stay in their lane and be just fine because their true fans (who are usually older), are going to make sure to always spend the bread to support them, no matter what. With that said, Nas should still call Alchemist, lol.

Nas my GOAT by a million miles. I’ve loved this entire run with Hitboy. But my first impression is this is just solid (that might change). Doesn’t mean im hating. Just my current feeling is this felt rushed and a little uninspired

And btw I bought the album off iTunes if whether you stream or buy validates an opinion
