I agree its a strong 4 Mic album.

Better than HHID, And I Am which I also rate 4 mics.

Not quite as good as Untitled and Gods Son which i rank as 4.5 (Untitled is a personal classic to me)

Man you know I don’t agree with your last point but we’ll have to agree to disagree lol

I think it’s better than Untitled and God's Son.

If the project had three more bangers (10 songs) it would be on par with Stillmatic.

It’s one of the most refreshing Nas projects in years. I almost want more in a conventional way but I know he’s more than just a hip hop artist now..

We may not get another project in the foreseeable future.

Everything STILL mu favorite track:wow: goddamn i live this song.



THIS is the type of brilliance we wouldn’t have gotten if Nas would have spent a career only rocking over Pete Rock and Large Professor beats. The willingness to take risks and challenge himself is what keeps each Nas project unique and fresh.


Keep doing you Nas. Hip Hop needs this shyt:salute:

After a week and a half this has definitely grown on me. I still don’t consider is great but it’s good. I don’t count it as an album, Kanye can call these albums if he wants but all of these are EP’s. It’s not Nas’s best work and not his worst, if I was ranking it amongst his catalog it would be towards the bottom but his catalog is great so that’s not a knock. Here’s my rankings:

1) Adam and Eve (best song by far)
2) White Label
3) Cops Shot the Kids
4) Simple Things
5) Bonjour
6) Everything ( too much Dream and Kanye, song is too long and his flow is off at times)
7) Not For Radio (has that epic feel but I don’t love the beat and his flow is trash on this song)

I like both of those songs. Simple Things just feels kind of incomplete and I like Bonjour but not as much as my 1-4. Not for Radio and Everything are the 2 songs I don’t see myself going back to that much on this project
