[Left.A1]

I guarantee some of these little dudes don’t..

what “little dudes” are listening to 50 year old Nas albums

Hit Boy beats been havin Nas experimentin like a MF… dude been hittin us with multiple flows for 5 straight albums

This is one reason why I love their union. To quote another goat" nikkas want my old shyt buy my old albums". I love the different flows and him trying shyt. We got Nas snapping over some straight Memphis shyt in 2023! Sign me up! I also love that each album sounds different.

First 2 runs through. I Iike it a lot
Nas snapping....beats knocking in the spaceship. Goat feeling inspired...what's not to like?

What kind of car you got?

What this all really means is so dope.

Lmao at Nas getting ducktales off about introducing Pac to Hennessy.

Nobody here to even left to dispute it. Its been 30 years lol

Didn’t Nore claim he did this as well

Nas and Mega just had a collaboration over an Alchemist beat. Considering all the fan fare Alchemist has here. Ya'll don't even talk about "Glorious".

I think Glorious is dope af. I think a lot of people missed it because it was on a Cormega album.

I wanna hear some NYC ish. I don’t need bass & trap drum patterns from Nas.

I ain’t mad at him expanding his sound, seems like a lot of ppl like what he’s been doing. Just isn’t really for me.

Go listen to it was written fam

The Premier track last year was ass though, it was very mid.

But, if Primo laced Nas with an album of bangers like "Memory Lane", "Nas is Like", or "2nd Childhood" then we talkin' something different.

I liked the Preemo shyt too.

I basically have liked everything Nas has done since KD started. I like the Hit albums and I liked the track with Preem and the track with Cormega and ALC. Maybe the Preem track was slightly phoned in but it wasn't trash by any means.

I like the way Nas flipped the chorus from Tribe's 8 Million Stories on Motion.

Ice Spice dropped her deluxe today too

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Couple of bangers.

Slow it down and Pistols.

Black Magic started off like it was gonna be but fizzled out

 

[AAKing23]

First listen in and y'all cats stating otherwise are crazy, this album is a banger

This

Only one I don't feel is black magic

50 sounding so washed isn't really a shock...he's gotten so his breath control is gone but beyond that, he never really had an artistic or ambitious approach to the rap game to begin with...it was just a means to an end that he just happened to be really good at, so of course his craft would get worse.

Yeah 50 played himself in the long run by insisting that he cared so much more about being a hustler that rapped instead of actually being an artist.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Nas & Hit are 5/5.
