This one will have to grow on me. Not feeling the beats at all.

I was wyling last night. I was in a foul mood to begin with.

 

[Sypress]

Ordered the vinyl and got a digital copy

I could listen to it now but I’ll wait until I get home, shower, pour some tea, crank the ac, and put on my noise canceling headphones

OK so I'm just hearing the kanye track, and I have heard that track somewhere. I think kanye let someone else rap over that beat in the past before.

Same here.

The way it opens also reminds me of Roses too.

Bandana takes a backseat to this. Both amazing albums, though.

 

[Ball]

Man adult film is smooth. Grown up shyt

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

My larynx serenade the hood

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Haven't listened in full but what track is the prodigy dedication?

Queensbridge Politics prod. Pete Rock

 

[InstantKlassik]

Sounding like Nas circa 97’ on The Art Of It

 

[Taco]

The mixing?

nikka you must be listening to that shyt off youtube breh

Nope listening off Apple Music through wired headphones.

RZA keeps the best shyt for Nas. Can anyone blame him, nicca the #GOAT and this albums highly anticipated. RZA name is now back out there as a Nicca that still got it. I expected him to shine on the same album with these other producers. Maybe this'll get his name back out there to the point where niccas requesting him on the boards. WU gotta be pissed though he laced him with some ILL shyt

Anybody got any details on which album sessions each song is from?

Vernon Family sounds like HHID sessions

I’d like to know also. Before the album dropped a knowledgeable poster said 2006-2010 but this obviously can’t be the case, because Prodigy (rip) didn’t pass until 2017, and the Alchemist beat is from 2014, and there are some other references on the album to events post-2010.

 

[Figaro]

Yeah, some are caricatures, amateur boys
I'm like a classic pianist with a hand full of sores
Bandages on, my fingers still are managing chords
Like a live band preforming in a sand storm, blinded
Still I hit the right keys, swift as a light breeze, drippin

The way Nas delivered this

 

[AkaDemiK]

Sounding like Nas circa 97’ on The Art Of It

It’s wild how he can just flip that switch

 

[StretfordRed]

Does Nas have a lisp on Vernon Family?

He starts by saying “Literthally lithe from nine-thith”

Whole first therse sounds like he’s bit his tongue by accident

Nas sounding like a Coli militant on verse 2 "Who Are You" Going in on the old heads.
