I had a few of my young friends hit me up telling me that new nas is dope.

The old grumpy me told them to fukk off and stick to da baby and leave Nas to me.

Little fukkers can’t name 3 nas albums but now wanna jump on the bandwagon.
What kinda shyt :russ: wouldnt you want more people to be put onto Nas’ music?

So quick story


Me and my sister were taking an hour long car trip last week. She knows i’m a huge Nas stan and she was asking me about Al Jarreau Of Rap because she read online about how divisive it was. I played it for her and she liked it. Then we got into a conversation about Nas’s storytelling and I told her Nas was the best storyteller of all time. She wanted to hear some joints. So these are are her reactions...


Who Killed It- “I like it, but I see how people could not get what he was going for. This is the type of song that needed a dope ass video that explained some things or something. “


Live Now- Thats Nas rapping as a girl? See he could’ve just gotten a woman rapper to do that. ANY female rapper would have loved to do this. And he’s basically talking to himself about how he’s a fan of himself and how great a guy he is? And then he as a girl dies of Aids? Naw I ain’t feeling this


Undying Love- “Why are all these songs ending with some woman dying? Why he have to go get his friend involved? See thats just like ya’ll nikkas. Getting all mad over a girl and now ya’ll BOTH dead over some bullshyt.” (She laughed hard as hell at the “My surprise couldn’t match the one she had for me” line)


Amongst Kings- “Yea this is creative, but why only HE get to come back from the dead? His friend who he dragged along to kill his girlfriend don’t get to come back? See I ain’t trying to be Nas friend. fukk that!”


I Gave You Power- “Yea you play this a lot. This is the best one. Very creative”


Book Of Rhymes- Yea this is good. I like how the pages flipped and it was like he was actually going through his notebook. He sounded very honest


Rewind- “I liked it all up until he started talking about some random girl sucking his dikk. I didn’t need all that. I like how he kept rhyming everything backwards”

You should’ve played her Last Words. After watching When They See Us episode 4 and then hearing this track, it’s amazing the way Nas uses imagery. shyt was spot on.

I know im not the only but Highly Favored is my shyt!!! Classic Rza & Nas!!

Some are caricatures, amateur boys
I'm like a classic pianist with a handful of sores
Bandages on my finger, still managing chords
Like a live band, performing in a sand storm
Blind, but I still hit the right keys
Swift as a life breeze, dripping
In fear of God, scented in Diptyque fragrance
Some nights Creed flavors, I am motivation
I don't talk on the next man, I'm never hating

I don't like those choices... who killed it ain't for casuals. and I'd throw in blaze a 50 in there.

here's your issue. you brehs are hilarious

imaging rating your dinner @ the appetizer.

i'm not sure if you brehs listen or skim music just for opinions sake. ridiculous
The lyrics are great, just not vibing with these beats.

Thats precisely the concept of a lost tapes release fukkin genius
Yeah true, these mfs should’ve stayed “lost”
