Maybe im just too much of a Stan, but I think niccas don't really F with Nas as much as they say, or don't comprehend properly

The Most Notable Part of ‘NASIR’ Is What Nas Didn’t Address

This review said "Life is Good" was a whole album about his failed marriage, when he may have addressed it on like 2 songs. :gucci:


Ebro and Rosenberg said Nas never addressed politics or backed a political figure... He isn't as socio-political as Jay-Z :dahell:
But in 2008 he had My President is Black w Jeezy / Black Pres on Untitled. And he visited the Obamas a couple times, I think one time with Destiny too.

People put him in their top 5 cuz its fashionable, they aint really listenin

I honestly wish that I could be in the room when some of these discussions happen. I would have nikkas lookin dumb as fukk.

Super dope album! Just not the Nas that everyone wants to hear. People want either that Nasty Nas, that Militant Nas or that real life, grown up, LIG Nas, Some may say that NASIR was not either.

The album is weird. I’m never excited to listen to it like other new nas albums but when I put it on I’ll let it play 3-4 times at least.
That's because it's a grower. nikka should have put something in the title to allude to that because it's hard to say if I experienced another album where that trait is so heavy.

But I don’t really like it all that much more than when I first played it. It’s only 30 minutes so that has something to do with it, but it just loops well.
