can't complain about #s then when they add a song to slightly increase #'s dudes complain :mjlol: . Can't have it both ways
I don't want it either way. Nas is 50 years old, his base is grown ass people...I don't expect him to sell records and all that like that in this teenage-driven ass rap game. I don't think he's even thinking about that, which is why he releases these how he releases them, he's just adding to the catalog and feeding us and making his GOATness undeniable.

Actually caring about/discussing passionately a 50 year old man's first week numbers in Rap is hilarious...it also says a lot about him, that he's even still held in that regard as to where people expect big dog numbers. I just want fire fire albums, that's it...21 Baggage on a Nas album (especially that mid ass song) is reducing the fire

The man’s given us 4 STRAIGHT albums worth of fire. I say lets trust him and wait until Friday or at least a tracklisting leak.

Nas and Hit Bot know what they’re doing. If the song is on the album it MUST be for a reason and I doubt they’d throw an 8 month old song on the album just for streams. Also lets remember we have precedence with EPMD and EPMD 2. Perhaps it’ll be like that.


All i’m saying is lets not be negative

The 21 song was cool but dude don't deserve to have a placement on a Nas album. Especially after talking greasy about him. If nas and his team are so concerned with streams then actually promote the album outside of Instagram.

Yeah I’m convinced they don’t care about streams or sales…. These nikkas do 0 promo outside of a few IG posts

I doubt the logic behind it has anything to do with sales or numbers, I think Nas just likes 21 and the song. If you disagree, that's alright. Personally, I think the song was good, if not exactly album material. Better as just a single or a bonus track (which is where I'd expect it to land in this case).

Then again, it could be "The Tide", and that would fit in with anything on the KD series or Magic. But it's already on Hit-Boy's album, so maybe not?

Now I fux with "The Tide". But yeah, I don't want that on there either, lol. I hate when rappers throw shyt we already played out months and months ago on their new albums...I can't be the only one. As a big Nas fan who appreciates when he drops, I want a whole album of fresh shyt out the oven to enjoy.
