Probably at the bottom with Nastradamus even though I know people feel thats crazy. Its just its the one album where the lyrical content wasnt hitting even when he seemed like he had tracks of substance

Again a frustrating blown opportunity by Nas and Kanye. It could not be anymore apparent Nas didnt wanna make this album from the lack of acknowledgement of it leading up to it to how he sounds on it

I feel you, hope we don’t have to wait 6 more years for new music. Pretty good project, need to revisit some of these other albums, I’ll prob end putting “I Am...” ahead of it

 

[up in here]

Yeah im not really counting these GOOD music projects as albums. And this is a dope project. I really like it. 6 out of the 7 tracks for me is dope as hell. The other track is bonjour, which is cool but ill probabaly take it off my playlist.

Still though. This 7 track project has more dope shyt than other cats whole albums. So even though its short, im not mad at all

Nas stans melting down over the reviews has me dying :goldblum::gladmib:

 

[Izanami]

True.

But he deserved better.

The album itself is great. Right now i have it at a solid 4 mics. Which places it in the I Am-HHID portion of his discography.

I AM.... is a 4.5 mic album. Never understood why people hated on it.

The world wasn't ready for it. Just like they're not ready Nasir. It'll age well and in 10 years we'll look back and wonder the same.

Nasir was good shock value when I first heard it, but now it is just meh. Have not touched it really since last week. Been bumping Cudi religiously though. Just lost its luster already
