50 sounding so washed isn't really a shock...he's gotten :flabbynsick: 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.
Why he come in like that? He gotta know that shyt was super mid.Trying to do all that wordplay he better when he just calm trying to tell a story or some shyt smh.

One thing I do wish is that they promoted these projects a little harder with some additional marketing assets … like it’s pretty unprecedented that Nas is collaborating with a single producer this much ..never has happened in his career … it feels like they should be doing Hitboy&Nas tour dates / Documentaries / Interviews and just more overall content around it …idk maybe they don’t care but just feels like the moments should feel a little bigger when these two drop considering the uniqueness of the situations

Album cool off of 1st listen didn’t really grab me like the first magic

Album dropped at 12:00am I woke up this morning and seen a text from my dude saying “nah this album trash”. Checked the time and it was 12:20am

:-/

nikkaz don’t let shyt sink in lol

This too. We consume and rate music way too quickly now.

Idk what y’all was on last night in here. Y’all stayed up past your bedtime to peep the album and made your hearing all jacked up and some of y’all got caught in a time warp too cuz y’all were dropping ratings like 10-20 minutes after it dropped smh.

This shyt is fire to me. I won’t rate it because…you know…I played it once lol. Motion and Pistols on Your Album Cover with both standouts on the first listen. Bokeem Woodbine was also fire.

Also I thought Fif did his thing in Office Hours. It was a typical 50 cent verse over a dope beat, what more do you expect?

Only thing worse would be nikkas throwing out Nicholas Craven’s name

He's not a bad beatmaker, neither of them are actually, Apollo is light years ahead of NC though. The problem with them is you know what to expect, like ol boy says:

Yeah Craven's one of the most overhyped producers on earth.

Facts, he's OK but I don't get it, I was spinning N 3 earlier, haven't bumped it since it dropped and was swiftly reminded why......endless loops :francis:
