I agree with all of this. I would only replace Nasir with SD. I used to bump SD hard back in college.

Yo. If Nas got Roc Marci or Benny to feature on that shyt?? shyt would be crazy.this gets better with every spin.
i'm now stuck on 'it never ends'.
I dont get the complaints about Vernon family. Beat is catchy and Nas sounds sparked up on it.My girl doesn't like Vernon family or Queens Wolf but likes Royalty hit her with the

She won't even lisen to Al Jarreau her words ''top 5 worse Nas song''

Nas said he was afraid to drop it because he was afraid it wouldnt live up to The World Is Yours. These shytty fans are literally making him shook to drop fire like this cause of the Illmatic dikkriding.She won't even lisen to Al Jarreau her words ''top 5 worse Nas song''

Precise and cold hearted
Still digesting this. Not sure how anyone can call it wack or classic right now. I wasn't wowed by the first spin but certain tracks are growing on me. All I know it's much better than Nasir.

Yeah I know unfortunately Illmatic is the gift&curse of son career.Honestly this some fukked shyt to say but I don't think his work will ever be fully appreciated until he's gone.Son has the craziest expectations of any MC ever guess it comes with the territory when they don u the 2nd coming of Rakim
this show still aroundnot interested in their opinion to be honest!!
I feel you. haven't watched since last year... saw Nas in the thumbnail...peeped it outta sheer curiousity...but basically here's their rundown:Wayno said it's cool, but says it sounds dated
, and hates the concept of a lost tapes for any artist, says they were tracks left off for a reason. but counters and says some of the joints should have been on official projects, and he doesn't consider a lost tapes a "real" project.Ak said it was whatever

It's mind boggling how both pete rock songs remained unreleased cuz he didn't think he did the joints justice 
I'm more interested than anything to hear all of the unreleased songs from "Life is good", seems he's sitting on a GOLD MINE from that era. He got on his Joe Budden MOOD MUSIK zone and he could do no wrong during that little era
I'm just glad i'm still alive to even hear these gems, f*ckin making us wait 17 years (half my f*ckin life) since the last one, he could literally drop a "lost tapes" series every week, that vault is that deep!
