Just hit play now. I'm 21 years past the 27 club, it's like I went back to my past and then I sped it up

Its ugly outside
Its muggy, its muddy outside
One hundred and five Fahrenheit, thunderous skies
The cloud shape a clown face above where you reside
Under his eye a teardrop got the ugliest cry
They call my city Gotham city, opposite of pretty
Weatherman can not predict bullets raining from out the fifty
Its ugly outside, Big L would be here if it wasnt
Hell will freeze over the day it doesnt get ugly out
How can we hug it out after we slugged it out
We should be buying acres, adjusting each others crowns
That was your brother back then, how could you gun him down



Nah...vividness unmatched, pen unmatched

Poetry.

I don’t ever jump out the window with reviewing albums, but this Nas's best shyt in almost 10 years. Easily since Life Is Good.

He's sounding energized and mad inspired again, like his mixtape run during '97-'98. Production is perfect for him, and also his best sound-bed in what seems like forever. But most importantly, he's on here spittin' like the pen never cooled off. Nice surprise drop and goes to show that the greats are the greats for a reason. This is another masterclass in emceeing from one of the best to ever do it. Really dope project! Nas came through crazy on this one.

This +100, Nas hasn't sounded this hungry in years!!! This shyt is

Rae needs to holler at Hit boy instead of complaining about Rza.

I wish there was some official voting opportunity for rap GOAT.

This shyt is like when Cube dropped Kill at Will ep. Old heads know what I mean.

Motivated Nas is scary as hell

Hit-Boy got in a crazy pocket right now

Throw KD2 and Magic on a playlist and Bo Jackson and Super Tecmo on another playlist. Those probably be my 2 favorite playlists this year

Haven’t listen to Super Tecmo yet. I’m geeked to have these in the chamber.

Yeah he does grounded imagery better than just about anyone, always got something to say even when its shyt-talk

 

[madness]

The GOAT gave us a last minute stocking stuffer

Speechless
Ugly
Meet Joe Black

The Truth
Wu Children

How the fukk is this guy still making this kind of music at this stage of his career?

Him and Cube was talking about Kill At Will on his podcast too

Man..

this is the most Nas sounding album I’ve heard since his original run if this makes sense. Like this is what I expect when I’ve went into a new Nas album.
