Nas says no limits on new album [discussion in eldylan thread brehs]

[Prolific_1011]

Im still cautious about this album

When Kanye went back in the studio after the TMZ rant, his album and the Nas were the two that were far from done. We saw Ye how turned out (I thought it was ok) wasnt as cohesive as Kids See Ghost and Daytona which were already done.
Secondly much like Kanye and his rants I wonder if there is going to be some pre-disposed hate cause of the Kelis abuse allegations. Like you can see Shea butter and SJW twitter and writer already with their "is this problematic to support" narrative in all reviews or boycotts.

And to the point, given how recent she said this and he has gone back to record with ye, will that be the narrative of the album? And if it is will people embrace it? Or will they think its poor form? And if he doesnt will some criticise him for not?

Weirdly enough for the first time, it aint the beats Im worried about, its more Nas state recording with everything. Is he used to recording something so quick? (Though he does carry and re-use rhymes on tracks that were unreleased). His rhyming has been on point for years but I guess some people feel unsure with his stuff in recent years (The Future joint this year, Travis Scott last year). Whats gonna be his mindset and motivation heading into the booth?

So Im a bit concerned with this cause it was still recorded in the last month and might still be recorded and I dont know if Nas does rushed records

I'm not convinced this was all recorded within the last month. Rumors of Nas working with Ye go back a year. Nas probably has had 2-3 Kanye-produced tracks for a while now. Like you said, Nas could always use verses from all the unreleased tracks he's done in the past years. Maybe Kanye re-did the beats for certain tracks Nas did with other producers (Pusha kinda alluded to this for his own project). No way Nas sits on 6 years worth of material to just release a rushed project. Makes absolutely no sense. I also wouldn't rule out Nas adding a track produced by Timb, Swizz or whoever and have Ye tweak it a little.

I think so. Kanye said 5 albums are dropping. He didn't lie about the first 3 albums. Why doubt him on the 4th one?

Because Nas has his own social media that he regularly posts too.

Well he promoted Kanye's album and posted a pic of him at the listening party with Chris Rock and Jonah Hill, so its pretty much a confirmation that he is part of all this rollout.

Every album Kanye said was dropping has dropped. At this point doubting it would just be contrarian IMO. It's coming on the 15th.

I'm as excited for a new Nas interview as I am for the new album. I gotta know what happened to the album he was making before linking with Kanye. Is he signing to GOOD Music? Is he gonna get some type of distribution deal for Mass Appeal? Tour? etc

 

[Dylmatic]

Maybe Lost Tapes 2 with the stuff he has recorded from 2012 to 2018.

Nas my goat but im not anticipating this until i hear something. Waiting til the day before is a losing strategy unless you're the flavor of the month.

It's easy not to trust it because:

1) It's Kanye

2) Nas Album Done has been a thing since 2016 and no album and this was after him saying the album was done, a single was dropping years before.

2) Nas's album is the odd ball. He isn't on GOOD Music even though he is on Def Jam

3) Outside of IG posts from Mass Appeal and Def Jam France, there hasn't been much word in terms of confirmation. Nothing from A Saleh. And while Mass Appeal and Def Jam France are reliable, it was a picture of Kanye and Nas with a caption.

[Ziggiy]

Kanye kept his word on the last three albums.

Ain’t no way he gonna dikk around with the GOAT.
