When the actual reviews start hitting, don't worry about it guys...I pray that you don't. They got agendas and will do anything to discredit the guy... remember the moment Hit Boy posted that highest Metacritic rating they went in and lowered the shyt out of it.

This just gets better ever listen. The Truth is my fav song. He got in a time machine on that track. Just amazing.

Whats crazy is each of these releases is better then the last. I actually went back and listened to KD2 just to remind myself how dope that was. KD1 is getting left ib the dust but that was straight flames too. This run Nas is on this late in his caree is unlike anything we've seen. Gotta cherish it :salute:

I'm sorry but these songs don't compare. Look Nas 4 classics be honest do these songs match up against shyt like Take it in Blood? Shootouts? Memory Lane?NYSOM? ect... To me those songs wouldn't fit Nas was on another planet lyrically
Yes muthafukka I said meant what I said, re-read what I wrote. I said they could be slotted into MOST of his classic albums and fit right along side classic songs. I didn’t say illmatic and IWW. I’m talking I am…, stillmatic, gods son, lost tapes. These songs would fit that era of Nas perfectly.

Bruh as an old head who grew up in NY during the golden 90s era its a blessing to see Nas at this stage in his life to be giving us legit classic albums and not on some broke mc putting out trash to sell out to the youngins.

I was playing bball in New rochelle projects when it was written dropped and this album giving me that same feeling. It hurts that we aint get to see biggie and pac grow like this

This is why I hate seeing him lumped in with 9th and Pete Rock. Both Primo and Salaam Remi have continued to show Nas love no matter which producers he is working with. They definitely ain’t hate on newer producers or try to act like they know what’s best for Nas
Love the fact he got feature credit. Primo is a chill dude. His been there and done that

Gotta give props to some of these hooks too:

Your top three, I'm not number one, how could you post that?
I wear the crown, the city is mine, you cannot hold that
I'm not the one to go at, you fukk around, meet Joe Black


Hollywood gangsta, goons with 'em everywhere
I'm the opposite, smooth, not spreading fear
Silver spoons never fed Nasir
I'm on top and I surprise 'em


nikkas ain't telling the truth enough
Y'all don't look like the truth to us
Hype off that lil' dirt you did, that ain't shyt to the kid

:banderas:
!!!

I love the solo hooks

Been running this album since it dropped. I feel comfortable saying its a classic. It's filled with straight bars (every verse is a quotable), good hooks, dope production, excellent sequencing and it's mixed down perfectly.

I can't even imagine how dope KD3 is going to be

Part of me wishes he hadn't mentioned KD3 (as nice as the line was) just so people don't treat this as a throwaway. (Though it doesn't appear that most people are.)

A larger part of me loves that he dropped a classic and called his shot already on the next one.

Yea I think I have a SMALL issue with that myself because I feel like some people aren’t appreciating the album as a full project.
