Nas - NASIR (Discussion Thread)

[Loose]

Does anybody else think his flow/delivery is a little off on some songs?

Nah


This album is basically an ep version of untitled. The goat

 

[CapitalOne]

this would've been a dope album cover

No.

But SOMETIMES there are lyrics that he spits that aren’t verifiable.

He doesn’t do it often but it happens from time to time. He’s even admitted messing up certain facts before

I actually think he was legit trolling.
Especially because he says "that's true" twice. So he states a fact and follows it up with "that's true" and then he says what would be Fox and their watchers worst nightmares and says it again.

Which is exactly what Fox does, they take a fact and follow it up with some outrageous shyt.

I honestly imagine him rhyming it like "that's true "

In a year chalk full of Good Music (no pun intended) Nas, 25 years in the game STILL stands out

It sure is. Felt the same way about jay on 4:44 but I know it was purposeful for him. Not sure if it’s thar way for Nas because there are songs when he kills it and others where I go “fukk is up son”

Few cats really going with the he’s washed narrative off it. Wouldn’t go that far but I can see why. As you said though there’s other tracks
I just think he went with keeping simple on some songs for production sakes

Best in order:

Simple Things (you gotta listen deep in the beat for those moving synths)
Bonjour (smooth piano, fly sample, over dope talk)
Adam and Eve (perfect mix of piano and guitar. Verses are raw)
Not For Radio (like yall said, feels like Hate Me Now + N.I.G.G.E.R.)
White Label (sample is a bit too loud but it's a good one)
CSTK (It's growing on me Liked the demonic laid on top at the end with the build up. Reminds me of Hello Brooklyn)
Everything (too much singing, especially from Kanye. Too much build up like Jay's Holy Grail. Otherwise would've been a perfect track)

Three more tracks of similar inspiration and I could see it a universal acclaim

Didnt get to hear it yet but if the coli hates it it must be flames

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

Man the simple things beat is haunting me, I love this shyt
