[Soymuscle Mike]

80k is not bad at all

Put in perspective how Nas starts his first verse on this album.

does Ant have an ear for music? I dont know that he does. Future shyt is whatever.

Gabe def aint no help. He sits with Nas all the time and look at this shyt.

You know when I listened to him on the Rap Radar podcast 3 years back all he said was that he would give little input here or there on songs he liked and songs he didnt. So when Life is Good dropped I was like "ok that makes sense" and I guess Future is on his peak so that makes sense but hes not a producer or whatever.

Then again, look : Did anyone from Nas camp know much about this record? This feels like Kanye was in control and released it out. Nas himself didnt even acknowledge the album's existence until hours before the listening session

If I recall one of his interview. He said that he don't want to get involve in the music side because it's not his lane. But Nas trust him on the business side and let him take all the decisions

I think eventually Nas has to acknowledge the Kelis thing, its taken a life on its own


I do think its unfair to expect him to address it on this album but hes got to do it somewhere even if its the most scary thing he does.

Why are you so stuck on this?

 

[prophecypro]

Why are you so stuck on this?

Dog its everywhere, like its actually gotten worse since the album dropped (and yeah I think its unfair to think he was gonna address it on this album)

Like short Kelis coming out and saying "Ok I was lying" its tough.

Where? The reviews?

 

[prophecypro]

Where? The reviews?

Not only reviews but Op-Eds now (I dont wanna bring the links its and make people mad here)

Unless he plans to never record ever again its gonna everything here on out

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I do think some of negative review/energy around nasir are due to the kelis thing (too many reviews keep bringing that up almost as justification to give him a lower rating) and his association with kanye after kanye was c00ning
