Nas - NASIR (Discussion Thread)

So they did a listening party with something unmixed/mastered? And then they realized oh shyt, we have to master this shyt today. Tells you right how much effort went into this album.

I think it's just a testament to GOOD music releases on an engineer level, they were always ass in that regard.

 

[Yayo Toure]

I guess the only album that Kanye made in this period, that wasn't rushed was Pushas. They mixing this the DAY of release. Insane.

All these albums have been late simply to prevent them from leaking

That doesn’t make any sense at all. If it’s actually digital release how would it leak early? Ironically this did leak...the incomplete mix version from the live stream. They’re late because the people making them are either overwhelmed, perfectionists, or trolling.

This is not an intelligent strategy and it didn’t stop the album from leaking. Again, most digital releases through Apple Music or tidal etc, don’t leak early.

Oh btw.. for the people that care, this shyt here is dope. It came out today as well

I'm pretty sure some of these song we're just made recent cause Nas addressing recent ass shyt in songs

 

[Left.A1]

I love Adam and Eve but not so sure about the other songs on first listen other than maybe Bonjour. These beats are mediocre to me and some of them sound like they're from 2008.

His flow sounded off on most of the songs to me too.

I kind of agree with the following tweet



But I'm out before Nas stans come proclaiming this is the best album of the year and goat because they like Kobe stans ignore his deficiencies

This a pretty fair assessment of people are being honest with themselves

Quick reminder:when 4:44 dropped the album’s thread was filled with with people complaining about the beats(saying they were boring) and how Jay-z was off beat or talking rather than rapping. And now it’s everyones favorite album

I say this to say, don’t take what you read here seriously and let the coli cloud your judgement these nikkas legitimately don’t have any idea what they are saying.

 

[Paper Boi]

shyt out yet?

 

[Arithmetic]

Detroit brehs. It looks like Nas and Lauryn have a show tomorrow in your city. Y'all might be the first to hear these songs live.

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

So you can judge a classic off a listening party? Damn I’m a nas fan to the fullest but ya dudes be girly as fukk with the shyt ya say. Disappointed in ziggy even dapping you for it.
