I would say Dedication is more radio friendly than Wave Gods.

PYG isn’t a modern sounding song tho.

I don't see that at all. Nas set the track off beautifully. If you prefer Wayne's verse, that's cool. But Nas def approached the song nicely. And honestly, both dudes are even on the track.

The emphasis wasn’t the punches tho, those were just thrown in there as a little icing…the emphasis is the flow and the scheme and how he maintained it the entire verse and how he was coasting on the beat and his delivery. You didn’t recognize all that? Just the couple random punches? Lol salute.
Someone on my Facebook said Nas doesn’t do Hitboy beats justice, he used Wayne’s verse as an example of the type of rapper who does,. Said a lot of them beats and joints Hit gave Nas would have been smash hits and everywhere for other rappers but Nas style brings them down.
I’m only relaying it because I know if they feel like that then others do too…and because it’s interesting seeing as how a lot of people like to blame Hitboy/the producer and not the vocalist. Anybody agree with this?
What do you think?
I couldn’t disagree more, I love Nas on Hitboy production. For like every album from Nastradamus to LIG I was screaming at my own self that Nas needed more “poppin” production, like jammin music. I don’t think his production was trash and all that BS, I just think for the level of rapper he is his production needs to match that…Hitboy was 110% what I was asking for, he is exactly the type producer I wanted for Nas.
I only consider overwhelmingly contrasting opinions if the person isn’t on some hater shyt and is being genuine and can explain their stance…that’s why I thought about it for a second. Then they were saying that’s why it doesn’t chart well and all the songs flop, etc… it’s because Nas doesn’t fit the production. I personally think the sales are what they are because Nas old as shyt and so is his fan base lol, that’s why I don’t trip on it…I don’t think Nas does either
My only semi gripe is that Nas pen has kind of taken a hit…no pun. I don’t know if that’s because he’s just trying to coast and not overwrite to the production (which is smart) or if he’s just not the same writer anymore,
. Pen still brollic tho

Now an album with RZA then with preemo
The way they try to hate is brazy. They’re caring like he dropped the beat behind the punchlines and echoed it or some shyt lol

For me I gotta give Hit-Boy his credit. I get the criticism about his mixing and all but to me this is an incredible effort. Hit made 6 different albums with Nas. You can nitpick the catalog but as a whole this is some amazing work. To me 4 albums can be considered legendary classic down the line. That's
Magic 3

KD 3
KD 2
KD 1 And Magic 2 are amazing to me as well. I feel like Nas is only competing with his own catalog at this point. Not including his older work. I'm judging his music from 2020 to now. Insane work. Hit-boy can mimic any sound any era while putting his spin on it. Plus he has his own sound and style. That's some amazing shyt from one producer. If you take his name off and stamp 9th/premo/alchemist/pete rock on there it would have gotten waaay more praise. I think it's because we haven't grown with Hit-boy like the other producers. But for me Nas did amazing on all these joints. We've been spoiled for 3 yrs. That Nostalgic feel came back to me for these albums.
