Only Nas and any other artist dropping a "lost tapes" type of compilation, people wouldn't give a rat's a*s about it

I've now spun this album at least 10 times...
It's a 5 mic album.
I'm convinced that anytime the GOAT drops fire, some dudes want to brush it off in order to avoid the narrative that after 25 years in the game, Nas is still superior to their favorite rapper(s) and the current crop of MCs. It's the reason dudes like Lonzo Ball bring up and bash Nas for no apparent reason but to excuse their embarrassing taste in music. So when a dude like Akademics lazily brushes off the album as "whatever", it's just a dude who doesn't want to confront the reality that what he listens to pales in comparison to what Nas offers. They just don't want to engage in that conversation.

But they did make A project tho... so it’s an album
Why are Nas stans so upset this week?
Verses aren't the same in rap anymore. It's all about punchline bars, catchy music.
Albums are supposed to be equivalent to tv shows, movies, books. Gotta put some headphones on and actually listen.

They thought HIPHOP would care more about a new Nas project
I told them this was basically Nas fan service and they should be happy with new nas and nothing more
