"A vet styling in Met Gala
Tuna salad from La Scala
Black sweats swalla lot of reefer
Got it hard to quit the bottom feeder

A million cash for a Nas feature
Nas cheaper
Do it for free if you do it for me
52 bar verse if the beat is moving me
Stumble through customs
Copping Cubans at the duty free
Laying on the most expensive beds
Still I'm losing sleep

It's still not released yet?

This album sounds like Kanye grabbed a bunch of Nas acapellas and then made beats around it. Something "off" about the album

And that slick rick flip is lazy and kind of annoying too

Yo yall killing me with this analysis

No sign of the album dropping it statement with in the last two hours

I seriously think the negative reception coupled with an unfinished product just caused the album to be delayed.

Still not out yet on the usual m4a/ALAC download blogs

Cuz it's not out.

Cause its the same generic argument of people wanting him with the same producers of Illmatic, I think the stuff that No ID did on his last album and the sample based stuff Kanye did here has that asthetic feel and isnt any worse than what those producers were and are doing now

He said more in that assessment of this project than “i just want the old guys back” which it seems like all you want to focus on as kind of a deflection to his fair critique of the output ...Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe he said anything about LIG so I don’t know why you’re bringing that up... do we know if he liked that or not? But anyhow if in your opinion this project is on the level of some of his best work which those guys were apart of producing and you DONT believe that the producers he listed could do a better job than what was presented on this project that’s cool that’s your opinion of course ... but I don’t believe that serves as grounds to call RA’s assessment of this album unfair.

I dont think so, Nas has been retweeting mad positive comments on Twitter since last night. Its getting big praise there and i dont think Nas and his team are browsing forums.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Album is polarizing.... But from what I heard it's solid. Had one song where Nas sounded off beat, but besides that was good.

 

[Bugsmoran]

Large pro did a whole album with cormega and it was a snooze fest.

That album was great

A read a tweet someone reposted in this thread that had the same negative sentiment I keep reading from several posters

So the reception on Twitter is extremely positive?

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

That album was great

Especially the production.

If anything Mega was kind of lacking imo.
