All good tho, I ain't gotta agree with my favorite rapper on every little issue.

Damn has it been a year already since they had their Good Music run. I wonder how all the albums ended up performing commercially? Kids See Ghosts and Daytona were the only classic pieces of music to come out of the process, but the Tiana album was great too (outside that horrible last song).
Nasir was still very mid to me, it had some highs but Nas' flow wasn't as sharp and a couple of the songs were lackluster.
It should have been presented as an EP, not the latest Nas album as expectations were high after the numbers of years and rumours of different producers since Life Is Good.
Simple Things, Adam and Eve and Bonjour are probably the only songs that I still play.

Second:Bonjour
To me those are the only songs on this album that have replay value and may be able to stand the rest of time. If only he had a second verse on simple things
Edit:Adam Eve is three, add that to the list too.
My bad. I didn’t mean u. I meant Mass Appeal. Nas team should have let that album rot and focus on his current project

i dont see how that is anti vaccine when he is stating a fact. he also big ups vaccines before that line.
all he is doing is explaining the truth about vaccines; someone has to get the test version first

Album was a mis-step that failed to capitalize off the hype that had been built for a new Nas album. It bombed, only a couple songs kind of work live, and there was next to no promo or anything for it. It was just sent out to die. Nas deserved better. Not a bad album but it just seems like nearly everything that could have went wrong did so.
Adam & Eve is still amazing though.

Forgot about this album entirely
I like adam and eve and simple things. I didn't anticipate this so I feel indifferent. I want the Swizz album and the Lost tapes

This was all Kanye's idea and even though the beats were okay and it was Nas content that seemed not sharp, I still blame Kanye for how this thing came together
How do you not even start the album until days before the release?
How are you two not even in the studio together and sending him beats with no discussion of concept and monitoring the recording
How are you not even mixing the album and giving it to someone else to rush and do on the day of release
Theres a reason Nas didnt even acknowledge the existence of this album when Kanye announced it until the day of release, even he didnt know what was going on
Look I dont blame dude for accepting Kanye's invitation. Its Kanye and he saying hes willing to do an album with you and you dont have the confidence to release your own album (Nas album done) cause you feel the buzz aint truly there for an artist of your rep, so ok yeah sure make a producer-MC star album but then Kanye gotta properly do this
The only albums that sounded great in that run were the ones started early and almost completed a month before the drop. Nasir and Ye were snakebitten by last minute rushes
and couple with the Kelis thing, man...just man....
That all said, after hating it at first I bump a few tracks time to time and its fine
. Not the worst just themes dissapointing
