Pistols on your album cover:

When the keyboard fades in during the 2nd verse and for the remainder of the song

Mass Appeal sucks at promotion.. Hip Hop 50 and just some ad


Meanwhile, Look at LL for Rock The Bells

Its crazy because almost ALL of Mass Appeal’s actual content is amazing. They’re documentaries are fire. The movies they’ve produced. Even the music outside of Nas albums like Black Milk & Fashawn are/were excellent. I know they’ve got their hands in commercials. So its kind of astounding that the marketing doesn’t seem to match the quality of their products

Maybe it's because they only want to promote to the people and have less scalpers fukk up the prices

I think the people maybe be underrating how Nas is doing a a majority of these albums on his own. Outside of KD1-KD2. Nas has been on a majority solo mission and hasn’t missed a beat. Who else can do that?

 

[JYoung24]

Except for MAGIC, the KD albums are mad personal - just because he doesn't talk about his son a lot doesn't make it otherwise.

KD1 has like 3 songs about his (failed) relationships.

"Pops here, mom gone - wish God reversed the roles, sometimes" --> it doesn't get more personal than this.

Car 85 gives us a direct glimpse into his past. 10 Points is about his wealth but it's his personal view. Ultra Black is personal.

KDII PRESSURE is mad personal, DRE is mad personal, Moments, Nobody, No Phony Love, Brunch, Bible and Nas is Good are all personal songs.

KD3: Thun, Reminisce, Serious Interlude, Once a Man..., First Time and Don't Shoot are all personal songs.

Picking something specific like his son is a bit arbitrary, especially because we all know that there's drama with Kelis everytime Nas mentions Knight anywhere.

Nas used to be one of the most mysterious rappers in the game, until like...Lost Tapes and Gods Son where, and that's why he picked that album cover, he really opened up for the first time. Except for Lost Tapes, GS, Life is Good and maybe Untitled he really doesn't have albums more personal than the KD albums.

Streets disciple too
