After waking up and re-listening (a few times) this morning, the only track I don't feel is Bonjour. Beat is dope, hook is nice, but lyrically it's forgettable. Sounds like something Ross would annihilate. "shortie see me coming from a mile away, I call that an eye witness." nah fam lol
My standouts are Adam & Eve and Simple Things. Some mixed feelings on the other tracks but overall I like them. My disappoint lies with Pusha I guess. When he was talking about Kanye being a hardcore rap fan, and based on Kanye's previous comments on Nas...I was expecting darker sounds, harder (and faster) drums. This sounds like it could have been Kanye's album to me.
Not a fan of the drum programming man, sounds kinda thrown together. Like the mixing. Sigh.

Based on the content of bonjour she really shouldn’t be saying that
She only heard the clean version
25 years in the game. Do y'all understand?

It's hilarious how those cornballs are trying to spin what Kanye said
Like him flat out saying slavery was a choice, retweeting MAGA and alt right BS on twitter and running around with a Trump hat is open for interpretation
Illmatic was dope tho

Word. Even running around with that clown alt-right rhetoric spitting idiot Candace Owens. That @tuckdog dude been trying to spin the Kanye c00nery for over a month. He even said he wished his kids would c00n like Kanye. shyt ridiculous.

IT AIN'T $HIT!!!!
Everything on this album is perfect except nas flow
The themes content & production is top of the line & better than the other 3 projects imo

Of course it is. Its one of the greatest albums of all time.
But 25 years later ain’t NO artist trying to go back to that well again. It only ever TRULY worked for Raekwon and he was the exception not the rule.
Nas is an artist who thrives off of challenge and reinvention. There is NO challenge whatsoever in reinterpretating illmatic in any form. From artwork down to producers/beats, Illmatic is a complete body of work that belongs where it is and has an established legacy.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, Nas going back to illmatic in any form would be the end of his career. You can’t improve upon perfection. You can only attempt to make new bodies of work that can live up to and expand upon your personal legacy.
Nasir is an expansion of Nas’s legacy.
