Everything is Love sounds great in these trash IEMS

Pop trash. I'm sure it sounds great on Beats headphones too

 

[Funcrusher]

I almost can't believe that in 2018 Kanye's name is attached to a beat so dope as Adam and Eve. Favorite song of the year so far.

Listen to Trust off LIG vintage Nas




Yea seems like if u take the highlights from this add some NO I.D and alchemist production you'll get a better produce album. Nothing on here moves me as much as Stay, where's the love or Trust off LIG

Trust is one of the best Nas songs ever

 

[RehReh]

smh at some of the reviews im seeing talking about Nas didnt adress Kelis and I wont listen until he adresses kelis etc, wtf happened to rap? it used to be fukk a bytch now nas getting metoo'd ? wack

My one complaint is I think Nas could've delivered a better verse on Cops Shot the Kid....shyt felt half assed. It deserved an Untitled era level Nas verse.

Bonjour so lush

We need a remix with Ross.

I am gonna need a cdq version of Not For Radio without Diddy....

Who in God's name thought it would be a good idea to have the 3rd Gomez brother soiling up the track? shyt sounded so majestic in the rip without the screaming. I can't stand it now...

Nas got lazy. He has regressed style wise. His verses are just not killing it anymore. But he never mastered the art of saying more with less. He tries to jam too much into his bars. Plus at this point, he only shines on more traditional hip hop beats. I dunno, maybe I need to go back, but listening to the cop song with Kanye, and I'm just like how come Kanye knows how to ride this beat and make his lines stand out better than Nas?

On the cops song its like hes trying to sound like Rakim on Microphone Fiend which hes tried before (Jay also did it on Blue Magic) That I get cause its an old school beat etc. and Ye just kinda did Ye
The rest I wanna say might be a move to slow down for the beat, hes done it before on other albums and to be experimental (Which Kanye indicated they were doing a lot of gut feeling stuff ) We make such a big deal (good and bad) about Nas almost over rapping on songs that when he does this its weird.

I dont know if it means he's done. There was a couple of signs of verses on other songs in the past year it felt like that but who knows if it means he just tired on the mic. Ultimately its a motivation thing now so maybe the mixed reviews and personal shyt will wake his ass and finish his other album. But its Nas he may take a while to do it, years even and a whole bunch of stuff to go through

after 2 listens, "Adam & Eve" and "Simple Things" are the only stand-out tracks

 

[Drizzy Convict]

that white label beat is absolutely ridiculous wtf is this shyt

 

[Drizzy Convict]

that church type singing at the end of everything is crazy and Ye's singing in that song is very good
