This album is underrated in a fishy way,
Like there's a plot to undermine Nas that's not spoken about publicly or sumn. This album got even better over the last few weeks, shyt is easily a 4 or better, 4 may be low. People throwing around 3's and "it's at the bottom of his discography" or ignoring it completely, all that shyt seems spooky to me. I hope dudes aint still salty about Nas whippin that ass almost 20 years ago now and using their influence to sway "critics", smh, come on man.
Or maybe people heard it was just a bunch of throwaway joints that weren't ever used because Nas didn't think they were good enough...so that turned them off, who knows. Album is fire tho, fukk em.
I think it’s cuz he didn’t have a real rollout for the album
Nah I don’t think they it would get as much media coverage as their normal releases
Nah it’s real weird especially considering how everyone was acting when he announced the project. U had all kinda celebs and media in his comments. All kinda shyt. Old school to new school. shyt dropped and it’s crickets for the most part. Not positive or negative. Just silence.
I've been saying this same thing over the past few weeks. There is an effort in the hip hop media to down play nas legacy and an attempt to weaken his current musical spot. It's really come from various angles too. I 100% notice it and I have been saying it. Nobody cant tell me it's not facts either.This album is underrated in a fishy way,

We are just speaking on what we are seeing. Everytime I hear somebody bring up nas in interview, somebody will mention something negative. It's been a trend that I've personally been seeing.Every rapper you mentioned is far more relevant than Nas in 2019. I just don't understand the continued anger over reviews and the general "whatever" response the album has gotten from rap media. What do you expect? The album isn't even for them...it's for Nas fans. And Nas fans seem pretty happy with the album, so why get bent out of shape because the media, twitter, etc didn't really react to it. Those days are over.
Nas has spent most of his career ignoring rap media. It's not surprising that they return the favor now. With Nasir the only interview I remember was with Angie Martinez, and it was weeks after the album came out. With this album he did Drink Champs and a Tidal interview. Earlier this year he did a (dope) interview with Bobbito. Nas is at a point where he's only doing interviews with people he respects. Could he have benefited from doing The Breakfast Club, Hot 97, etc? Of course. But...he doesn't care. So why do you care that those people aren't giving the album free promo?
