"Graying Nas plays the glutton, feasting on caviar, foie gras, and spicy rigatoni, ignoring the danger of gout."
WTF is this
We need Black journalists out there writing these music reviews. These white poeple don't know shyt.

Hip hop music reviews have sucked for decades even when I agreed with the ratings.
I also think giving art a numerical rating is retarded and for the weak minded. Imagine giving James Baldwin an 8.7, Beethoven a 7.9 or Basquiat a 6.4. Dumb shyt for ad revenue and not the art.

I've given it the whip test, head phone test, house speaker test and this album still didn't move me

Nas the Goat but this album doesnt add anything to his legacy imo.
Hope the good folks at Mass Appeal have another project out this year

"Ignoring the danger of gout"?
WTF?
Yo there's really something about Nas that brings out the troll in everybody - from message board fools to music critics. Is it cuz so many people think he's the GOAT? It's bizarre as fukk tbh.

fukk 5 mics. All I need is 1 mic.

The last three songs on this album are some of the best work from Nas in almost two decades. He had finally found his groove. Him and Ye should’ve kept going. Who knows what else they could’ve came up with.

This thread started on May 23, and The EIL thread started Saturday. Also, The Coli is full of Nas Stans so that contributes too. Both albums are dope.over 5000 comments in here in just three days.

Def not a six years in the making joint, there are a few distinct moments (def on Not For Radio) where it sounds like he should still be rapping over the beat- I'm cool with the samples, didn't really have a direction with this album. I expected better from Nas but I have to revisit it may grow on me.
The mixing on this is off, Not for Radio should've been a lot crisper and a little faster. There are also moments where the beat drowns out his voice (White Label)
I'm always down for a Slick Rick sample, I enjoyed Ye's selections.
Nas sounds distinctly flabby on this, I can tell his age.

That was only 2-3 years ago, and I don't think it would be controversial to suggest his flow sounds better in both clips than at any point on Nasir. Adam & Eve comes the closest. Nas follows the drums. The faster the tempo is, the more likely he is to whip out a dope flow. I'm amazed that Kanye didn't play around with that more. Give Nas a classic break to rap over. Trap drums aren't for him.
