That shyt mid, lol, whiteboy opinions be gross, lol.

I like the content tho on 4:44

It’s so shameful though. That’s all they got to compare to Nas historic run. Truthfully, I’d be embarrassed if I was a Hov Stan…

They are scrambling during this Nas run

What exactly do you consider historic about the 6 album run?

how dope the music is for a artist that was already cemented as a hall famer. Name 1 hip hop artist that dropped albums this dope 30+ years after they debuted? But I can already see where this going to go

Rory is the same corny dude that asked for Jay's blessing before proposing to his girl at a roc nation brunch.

I swear, that roc nation brunch is the smartest thing Jay's ever done. It's almost like whoever is invited needs to agree to overrate his catalogue, in exchange.

I think it’s a feat to drop 6 quality albums in a 3 year run at this juncture of Nas career. If you look at everyone’s list, everyone has a different favorite album or albums from this run. Each album sounds different too and that’s the beauty of it. They tried different sounds, flows, tempos, concepts etc… it never got stale. Nas is still rapping at a very high level and Hit Boy has provided a great landscape. How many of these albums have you liked?

I think they’re all good. I don’t find anything on them to be particularly interesting but I certainly respect and admire what they’ve accomplished.
To me this is an incredible run of albums for Nas fans but to use the word “historic” needs to bring something else to the table.

My thing is why are people still picking sides 22 years after the fact. I am an admitted Hovenger. That's my GOAT.

But Esco has always been 2 for me. And what he's done with these 6 joints is incredible and deserves praise. Not the shyt that Rory just did. That's just unnecessary hate.

Nas won a Grammy for the first time 25+ years after his debut. That’s historic in itself. He’s the first rap artist to do it at that age. Literally.

It’s literally never been done, at this stage of a legendary rappers career. That’s why it’s historic. For the entire run of hip hop it was believed to be a young boys game and Nas is not only showing that you can age gracefully, he’s dominating in output as well.

nikkas is crabs but when u point it out it’s “Nas Stan’s this and Nas Stan’s that..” A complete lack of self awareness.

I have HOV ranked 11th in my top 10 out of pure pettiness.

I think for many people it has been historic. Maybe not for you personally. But I’ve seen people that aren’t super super Nas fans say how historic it is. I think it has brought a lot to the table. I also think it did a great drop of bridging the gap for a rapper that debut in the early 90’s and a younger producer. I think that is being understated. The last thing that is underrated about this run is Nas for the most part is doing it featureless. These albums don’t have a lot of features at all and I don’t think anybody else could pull that off. KD3 was completely solo.

I'm going to keep saying it the last Jay-z esque solo album comparable to his talent is AG. All that other shyt is mid
