[kes929]

Nas is the goat. This was 99 and he still killing it today

not sure about mixed or whatever...middleman is selling for someone else, specifically asked for sony/columbia stuff

another snippet, verses are out on Royalty but the OG chorus was swapped

I’ve been waiting years for this to leak in full.

Those God Son era snippets sound fire too. Hope we get those.

Happy Birthday to the most divisive album in his catalog

I breakdown I Am like this 60% like it /enjoy it 4 mics at least
25% hate it
15% are Hovengers aka who gives a fukk about their opinion

I think that distinction goes to Hip Hop Is Dead

Nah. I think I Am takes it. There's people who love I Am and there's people who hate it.

exactly IDK many people that hold HHID that highly myself included. When I Am dropped nikkaz & females fukked with it heavy then Nastradamus happened .Jay said what he said on Takeover completely flipped the narrative. I always said I Am got some but there's too many all time classic Nas songs for it not to be at least 4 mics

Basically.

Personal Classic for me.

That's an example there are people who feel just like you then others who hate this album. Exactly why it's the most divisive

Bro I know people who had it as their fav Nas album at one point. Lol.

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

the magazines and a lot of people thought i am was better than it was written at that time. I am got 4,5 mics (and that was the retail not the bootleg that was reviewed contrary to popular belief) and iww 4 mics. To me I am is like vol 1 for jay, the highs are incredible but the lows are bad so it's a mixed bag

I would have loved for mass appeal to drop a documentary about the original vision for the anniversary of both iam and nastradamus and a release of the original double album as intented or at least all the unrealesed from them session in cdq

Probably because I Am is one of his more accessible albums joint has something for everybody. It's up to the listener if you like those songs. I said before I knew females from different sides of my city that had this album poster on their wall. Not liking Nas on some "oh I love him cause his looks" but because they genuinely fukked with this album heavy
