Not feeling the hard to swallow pun on QB Politics.

He says it's not meant as disrespect.
How about you not saying it at all?

If Nas was to clean up some of the
language on his verses on War against Love
that would be a certified hit. That beat/chorus
combo is money. He just needed to approach
his verses like Rule off Stillmatic.

This is another high in his career. I hope Nas Album is really done because there about to be more demand. That may mean increased personal scrutiny on his own work, in an attempt to not disappoint. The bar is always raised when you have recently put out great work. We will eventually get the “Nas is back in the studio with...” article. It about to be crazy.

Vernon Family is too dope. Voice sounds ill. Ya'll acting as if Nas sounds like "Scarlett".

Love this album, man. This is at least 4.5 mics and a top 5 Nas album.

Every track is dope and there are several classics!!

"Jarreau of Rap" is nice. My main criticism of it was mostly due to how it was the wrong "single" to drop.

1st half of the album is just as dope as the second half.

Having "Lost Freesyle" and "Tanasia" back-to-back... :whew:

"She knew I wasn't cut from the cloth to be a Czar/now she hit the town with the legal Escobar"

:blessed:

Surprised not seeing more love for Art of It.

This is what we've been wanting to hear for decades. Nas just straight spitting over some pure raw boom bap provided by The Chocolate Boy Wonder. Only thing missing was some scratches and some backup vocals from Pete.

Neck and neck between this and Lost Freestyle for my favorite song on the album.
