I mentioned it another thread and I forget the song but he referenced the starbucks incident from a couple months ago, so I'd think its safe to assume the bolded is correct

Starbucks incident was BARELY a month ago

This is better than Pusha's album.

It really is.

And this Cops delusion? Well...y'all probably thought "Who Killed It?" was flames when HHID dropped :dayum:

you comparing a song where he was doing a fake James Cagney accent over a basic ass kick and clap to this new Slick Rick sampled pifff

Cops is the most hip hop song you'll hear this year from a non-underground artist, fukk outta here with the hate

Never understood the Streets Disciple hate??
Yeah it had some fillers (too many) but in the age of cd & mp3 just skip those. Bulk of album was great.

Feels like ol Nas BBS days

Is it safe to assume this isn't the Nas album we've been hearing about for the past few years, this is maybe a side project and we're going to get anther Nas album soon? No way it took him 4 years to make 7 tracks

Well this is obvious breh. I'd look at this more like a bonus EP.

I’m annoyed to wake up and not see this shyt on Spotify or Apple Music.

The rollout for these albums has been atrocious

No doubt. I don't know why you announce an album release in the streaming era and not drop it at 12:01AM. That's what everyone else does. Plus it gets people hype waiting to be the first to hear it. Now folks have moved onto to other stuff with their day.

naw nikka, this a new Nas album i ain't calming down

 

[H.S.]

This is the first Nas project in a while that didn’t have a heavy theme/concept. Usually it feels like he has a lot to get off his chest, which I respect, but it’s kinda cool to hear him sound like he’s just having fun in the studio and trying different things. Especially at this point in his career.

This shyt ain't on Spotify

They’re saying that the album ain’t even finished. Nobody’s got it.

 

[Frump]

Nas said it himself on this album people buy his albums to hear his lyrics. And i know i do. So the beats will always be secondary to me on any Nas album.. if he spitting fire they just add to it cant take nothing away for me

It’s still MUSIC if I just wanted lyrics I’d listen to poetry slam.

Nas is the greatest writer/lyricist maybe ever but his poor ear for beats and ability to craft songs is why his catalogue isn’t as good as it should be.
