Son at this point u just tryna argue to argue. Wtf are u even talking about? Bottom line is I know music. If u know music that’s fine. But I can’t see how u can listen to Donda with ur music knowledge. And think it’s groundbreaking in any way shape or form.

I didn't say it's ground breaking so stop with the bullshyt. Production Wise and Sonically it's the best produced hip hop album this year, and it's Sonically its right along with Graduation and MTDF.

You acting like a groupie was mad because I said Hitboy needs to find his own sound.

This discussion ran it's course

I think Speechless, Pressure, King's Disease, Queens Get The Money are the best opening tracks on Nas's albums.

I thought a bar on KD 1 was for Cole. I missed the shots on KD2 tho




I really think ya’ll overreacting thinking Nas is going at Cole. He just shouted him out on this VERY album and paid him the highest compliment a young MC could get from a legend.


I know Cole was on some bullshyt when he made them statements regarding Kelis but I doubt Nas is even aware of it. Its not like those particular comments even went viral even during the time Cole made them

Nope. NYSOM, NYSOM2, The Message, Stillmatic Intro and Get Down are all doper.

Facts this album ain't fukking with his 90s/early 2000's material conceptually poetically or energy-wise, the bars aren't at that level of perfection either.

HOWEVER, these are the most lethal potent bars Nas has spit in over a decade and like I said earlier, great enough that I don't give a fukk about comparing it to his earlier work. This is a dope album period and one of the most consistently well-produced he's ever dropped.

I've listened a half dozen times

The Truth and second half of Dedicated

:damn:

I fck with everything on here heavy. The only track that wasn't a 4.5/5 or 5/5 was Hollywood Gangsta, but even that was a solid 4

This was -10 degrees, burner under triple fat goose, black timbs stick up music

He restored the mid 90s gritty feeling with this album

Man Hollywood Gangsta is brilliant
