I like to listen some albums few months after it dropped because I like to form my opinion on an album with out all the hype. That being said I gave Nasir a listen and I like to say

Nasir is a dope as album and already is one of my top Nas albums, y'all nikkas is tripping saying this album is one of Nas worst albums. I'm 42 and I appreciate this album, This is one of Nas most lyrically album when Nas was lyrically killing it on every track and I'm not counting lost tapes. And that only happened on Illmatic and IWW

Kanye is a mad genius sonically the album was on some Thelonius Monk, pissaco abstract painting, Mozart shyt.

And I think Nas got caught up in the feedback from y'all talking shyt trying and down played the album.

The Album is dope my favorite Nas albums are Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, God's Son, Untitled, Life is Good, Lost Tapes and Nasir.

Nasir is Nas's Buloohne Mindstate and years down the line it will be a cult classic like De La Buloohne Mindstate and Marvin's Gaye Hear My Dear

I agree with most everything you said except Kanye being compared to Monk. He is an above average producer but I'd never work with a rapper/producer unless we were in the studio making the beat together. You know you will never get his best work.

I agree with you on this.. I've enjoyed every nas album this decade. Distant relatives, life is good, nasir and lost tapes 2. Its become cool to try to downplay nas. Me and my girl play that everything track and Adam eve all the time. The only song that sounded kinda unfinished on nasir is white label.

It's quintessential Nas. That verse is who Nas is at his core. Every rapper has an image or facade but when you remove all that stuff you get to see what their core lyrical focus or ability is...and for Nas it's evocative lyricism.

"It started with rhythms I heard listenin to the wall
the bouncin of basketballs on playgrounds and all
the empty bottles is hollow, wind blowin inside 'em
the flow and the rhymin got my alignment to a science"

Nobody paints a picture of a scene or memory like Nas.

Nobody and thats why I will always argue nas as my goat artist. Dude is incredible and honestly he is the greatest writer of our time.
