m,
I would have to agree to you. He's been working on the album for how long now? If is worked at a regular pace, there has to be about 3 albums worth of material to pick from. He started recording with Timbo, according to him, when Life Is Good was still out. I too think that so much has changed and there has been some many new things that Nas would write about.. that a relevant... that he might want to add. I don't think he ever gave a title or really hinted on what type of direction the album was going in, which to me, is a sure sign of not being truly ready and sold on existing completed material and the finished product.
We just have to grind it out and wait some more fellas!
