I’ve been focusing alot on the lyrics (as one does with Nas music) but you really DO have to appreciate the musicality of this album.
Songs like Bonjour and Everything aren’t your every day Nas production. I’m really happy that Kanye pushed Nas in that direction. I feel like a few years down the line this album will be treated with MUCH more appreciation and respect

No it doesn't because kanye never told people to like trump, he does and so let it be. Nas is allowed to work with anyone he chooses.

He debuted at number 5. 77K sold first week.
His 12th top ten debut
I know he sold like 50k pure sales with a botched release date. To put that in perspective, Jay-z and Beyonce sold like 70k pure sales. Idk about the additional streaming numbers tho

I’m genuinely surprised at the amount of bad reviews. In my humble opinion, this is a great Nas album.
All things considered, he’s not in his prime, in the studio 24/7 and his business acumen has strengthend during his six year hiatus post Life is Good.
This is a 4 Mic project.
Nas’ Energy is high throughout the album
The content is diverse
The production is the best it’s been for Nas in almost 10 years
The album is cohesive and leaves you wanting more
The obvious Knock is it’s too short and his flow seems off on certain songs. Once again, he’s not the same Nas. He’s not living and breathing out of his rhyme book. We get new Nas music once a year now.
Is the hate a product of the Kanye association? Album roll out? Length of the project given the 6 year hiatus? The Kelis drama?
Let me know fellas because the criticism outside of slow and 7 songs seems unfair.

I’m comfortable placing it above God Son and after Stillmatic.

I don’t rank The Lost Tapes and Distant Relatives tapes because of the type of albums they are respectively but they’re both really great projects.
Seems like there is an agenda here..
For years, critics campaigned for Nas to drop an album where was just rapping.. no concept or theme just rapping over the hottest production..
We got that.. no singles.. no silly gimmick for promotions just bars over great beats
