Im sick of this attitude. Ive been hearing it for the last 12 years and enough is enough.
Anyone who wants Nas over boom bap beats, theres plenty of material in his back catalogue for that. fukk, his last album he did that with Locomotive and Nasty. When will enough be enough for these people?
I've liked him in the past but fukk this dude. I don't want to hear no definitive opinions on an album that hasn't even been officially released. I've only heard parts of 3 tracks but 2 of them sounded fine, beat wise. Didn't hear enough of the other (the intro). But like I said...shyt not even out, not even mastered, and people burying Nas. WTF.
I will say this tho: this is the worst album rollout for a major release I've seen in years. Even TLOP, which was a disaster in many ways, was out on time. The Daytona album came out around midnight, the Ye album came out around midnight, and the KSG album came out around noon...how the fukk is it 7PM EST and this isn't out? Meanwhile Def Jam and Mass Appeal posting memes joking about it?!
I'm annoyed, not mad. But I don't like seeing my favorite rapper get embarrassed like this. What should have been a celebratory night was wasted, and even that could have been salvaged if the album was simply out today by...noon or so? It would suck but hey, we'd be listening and people would have largely moved on from that convo.
I'd bet money Interscope/TDE leaked Jay Rock's album early, and then released it early, because they knew Kanye and Nas would dominate social media reactions that evening. Instead this happened. My head hurts...
