I don't see what's wrong with this article still.

Bad faith arguments, backhanded compliments, the obligatory references to Jay, Kelis, Illmatic and IWW (all in a negative or backhanded way), longing for him to work with Premier instead of Hit-Boy, showing no understanding of the material. Dude uses a bunch of big words then wonders what Nas is talking about when he says "I dedicated my life, my life" as though it's not obvious he's talking about hip hop.

Same boilerplate used for every Nas album review by Pitchfork and these other hipster sites whose writers are bearded white bros in skinny jeans and Yeezys, who think the greatest rap album of all time is either Graduation or Yeezus

Calling KD1 and 2 “joyless Grammy bait” is one of the most retarded comments i’ve EVER read
