I think the flip side of that is that many Nas stans go overboard stanning every thing he does, rewriting history, and being weird. There's this never ending inferiority complex at play where the most minor of criticisms get attacked. Even when Nas is getting support or doing well, like right now, there are fans scouring the internet for any negative tweet or review or whatever instead of just enjoying the music.
Even with this being the last Hit Boy album...a month ago people were saying they could make 100 KD albums and 100 Magic albums and it would be amazing, why change anything, etc etc. Now we learn this is the final album and people are like well yes now is the time for them to stop working, it all makes sense, I knew this day would come lmao.
