This shyt is incredible :mjcry:

Not bothered if my son and daughter eat off of me
Cautiously I write this next line honestly cause I'm a G, there's no beef
I used to open off making fifty G's
But now I spend that on a diamond to make her neck freeze
My larynx'll serenade the hood
I tell the cops my blood dirty, they say I'm all good
TMZ, they hoping when the marriage end
Ima turn to Larry Flynt
Nas is not the average gent, I'm on my classy shyt
Here's one small percent of what y'all in store to get
More real nikka shyt

Nas controls his own narrative. He’s not giving interviews to Flex, The Source, XXL , dikkriding Elliot Wilson, or obsessed Vlad. He’s doing interviews on Tidal in his Sweet Chic restaurant. He’s doing Drink Champs with Nore, whose signed to HIS label Mass Appeal. He’s selling Vinyl, Physical Discs, and Merchandise through his OWN website. The album is projected to be his TWELTH STRAIGHT album to debut within the Billboard top ten.


So the question my friend is... does Nas truly even NEED the media at this point in his career?
Good point bro. I was just always curious about nas vs hip hop media dynamic. Nas actually recognizes it because he talks about it in his verses from time to time. He started off the first verse on No bad energy to get at the critics right away.

It’s totally different from The Lost Tapes which makes this that much special. Nas made it sound like an actual album and it’s really better than 90% of the music I’ve heard this year:banderas:




Who else could make songs that are 10 plus years old sound relevant today?


That’s the definition of being ahead of your time:wow:
