A groupbuy for the original No White Jesus with Frank Ocean on the hook has just been completed so expect that to be leaking onto the net really soon.

I might try and get the ball rolling on them unreleased Godson era joints out there :jbhmm: need them joints

how you come across this info?

Haven't listened myself yet but people are saying it’s terrible.

This popped up on one of my playlists this morning, got to be one of his most underrated album tracks. That second verse :whew:


This is a weird album because individually I fukks with all the tracks, but as an album I don't often go back to it, and it ranks quite low for me.

Maybe the strangest album in his discography. Feel like it was well received in real time, I know I played it a lot. But the online reputation in recent years seem real negative. There's a lot of quality tracks on there where he's rapping at an elite level though.

I’m the same way when it comes to hip hop is dead. I’ve always felt for that title alone, it needed to be a top tier Nas album sonically. That would have been a good album to tap in on true boom bap sounds. It does have highlights though.

"The ventilation shifts
Where the air is erased when you hear it
Somewhere between great and endearin'
You smell it and taste it 'cause it's serious"

Can anyone explain what Nas meant with these lines from "Superhero Status"?

Uh, uh, it's beef week, Monday, murder
Two nikkas dead, Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday is hearse-day
Friday, somebody-gotta-die day
Saturday, put the gat away
Chillin' with your chick and a bag of haze
Wonderin' how it's all gon' end and what type of way
'Cause Sunday back to gunplay
Most shyt start over nothin'
And get finished quick 'cause the art of repercussion

The reddit plug hinting at something on April 19th which he called a Nas/Premier anniversary (Illmatic release date). Maybe another single?

I can’t believe it’s been a year since Define My Name dropped. It’s probably good they put some space between this and the Magic/KD series. Feels like whatever drops next will be looked at as a different era of his career.

He has a video shot scheduled for tomorrow in his calendar, so if it's related to the album, perhaps a new single, we should be getting something this month.
Wouldn't even surprise me if it's the full album, they had a lot of studio sessions lately it seems, maybe they're finishing up the whole thing.

Exciting times.

I dont think he meant anything deeper than what he said. Just him being descriptive.

Like saying It’s so important that everything stops, it sucks the air out of the room, you feel it coming but don’t know what it is yet, you just know it’s going to be heavy.
