Has anyone got the vinyl or CD yet?
I got an email in August saying the vinyl was shipping September 14th and that I’d get an email when it shipped. Nothing since then
Nothing yet, horrible rollout continues
I could have Amazon send me the damn vinyl tomorrow. But I bet I’m never getting a refund for what I already boughtNothing yet, horrible rollout continues
I feel trapped

I emailed them on the CD and they said it has been delayed due to production issues. Yeah, bullshyt, the album dropped months ago.
I got the same email. I wrote them back and cancelled the order. Copped the vinyl and CD off Amazon. The vinyl is coming tonight

Adam & Eve video coming. Vinyl/CD finally arrived for me too
Echo makes this whole album utterly unnecessary
Nah.
I’m so HYPE for this Mini Movie
Yes man and I’ll explain why lol.
Nas feels so out of pocket and out of his element here. Like extremely. Echo? That’s a Nas song. That’s him in his element and sounding like he cares and having the common decency to find a pocket on the beat. He put out 7 songs and there are maybe two that I really still mess with and would put on a Nas playlist. And even then they’d be low on the playlist.
He’s at his best observing the world around him and juxtaposing that world with his inner thoughts or sins or telling stories. This album is mostly him being hedonistic and that’s never worked for him. Kanye said he wanted to make the Nas he likes and apparently he likes I Am era Nas because for me, that’s what this feels like. Hollow and vapid and surface level. Even Cops Shot The Kid, which I like, is a lesser version of songs he’s made in the past with more insightful observations. Meanwhile on Echo, he says more in that 2-3 min that he did on this whole album.
After my initial hype wore off I just couldn’t get with this anymore and it’s real telling that as soon as it dropped he was already talking about the next album with swizz and rza and said this is something Kanye wanted to do. To me, that implies this was a Kanye album not a Nas album.
Just my thoughts tho. I couldn’t put it all into words until I heard Echo. But I’m glad you or anyone else are still feeling this album. I wish I was in the same boat. Just expected more from Nasty as I always do
MartyMcFly, you have some very good points but I still feel the album. I really believe that the NASIR hate is mostly due to the fact that its not the Nas that people wanted to hear after 6 years off. I certainly appreciate the work he put in with NASIR. Now don't get me wrong, I was born and raised on the south side of Chi-raq so I feel every single word of Nas' street shyt but as a mature listener with my eyes and ears open to more of the world and real, grown man shyt, I also truly feel the more mature subject matter as well. I just want more Nas music period. When we look back at all of his music, his entire discography as a whole, there will be evidence that he covered nearly every topic thoroughly. That he covered every style and type of music thoroughly as well, probably better than any other rapper ever. I can feel that.
