:hhh: Album is fire, but stanleys come get your mans. He’s looking real crazy outchea.

He can't just call one of them queens lol. One of them is the wife of the man who produced his entire album and the other is a black woman. He has to call them both queens if he going to use that word. y'all corny with the Nas hate. That's the GOAT you speaking about, have some fukking respect.

I'm giving it a 4/5 right now. "Everything" has started to grow on me, Simple Things seems a little lazy. Besides those two everything else is A+

If Untitled and Life is Good had a baby it'd be this album.

So I figured I'd put this Tidal sub to the test and do some comparison between their formats. Someone mentioned that this album had a Tidal Master version (MQA FLAC). The info on the left is the Master version and on the right is the regular FLAC. I haven't done a sound comparison yet since I'm too lazy to hook my speaker up to the laptop, but the Master version was pretty crisp coming out of the laptop speakers (sans the bass).

Both versions are dope. For some reason, on Redacted they don’t allow the MQA/Tidal versions of albums since they don’t perceive them as true FLAC, which I didn’t really understand. I’ll have to do some research to see why. Someone upped the 24-bit from Qobus today and it wasn’t reported. Lol. As far as I know, both the Tidal 24 Bit and Qobus 24 Bit are the same.

rappers like crooked will never get the point their technical skills are amazing but their music is empty and soulless. It doesn't move people.

I think crooked is an great rapper but a poor artist.

This is what makes Nas so unique in my opinion. He’s one of the rare artists that has amazing lyrical skills combined with the ability to tell a story you can feel. The fact that he was able to sell as well as he did is still incredible given the majority of his music isn't pop rap.

Crooked I shouldn't even be talking on this subject. On many of his songs, he's just lyrically attacking with "bars" and doesn't even try to "ride" the beat. After you get past "wow this guy can flow" you're left realizing he wasn't really saying anything. Most of these lyrical miracle rappers can't construct a song to save their lives and their ego's are too big to listen to anyone that can help them. I was a huge Crook fan at one point, but you just rappers like him will never change.
