Official Nas Thread

[Big L R.I.P]

No-Intro 4/5
Loco-motive 4/5
Queens Story 4/5
Accident Murderers 4/5
Daughters 5/5
Reach Out 3.5/5 (Nas verses are dope but Mary J Blige chorus isn't great)
Worlds an Addiction 4/5
Summer on Smash 1.5/5
You Wouldnt Understand 4/5
Back When 4/5
The Don 3.5/5
Stay 5/5
Cherry Wine 5/5
Bye Baby 4.5/5

The only bonus track I've heard so far is 'Trust' which is a 4/5, should've made the album, dark piano instrumental is nice,

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

yup, but people would probably look at it as if Nas and Salaam was tryna make a quick buck off her music like they said cats was doing with Pacs unreleased music when they remixed it and Puff did with Biggie Duets


Woulda been dope if Amy's crackhead ass had of just stayed healthy and lived so the album could be official.

Anyone notice that on Queens Story, when the second verse queues up, the beat playing in the background sounds like 'Nautilus' (beat used for Ghostface's Daytona 500 for those not in the know)? I think it may by well be.

Another thing I've noticed/feel is that Back When's beat and song vibe kinda reminds me of Ras Kass' 'Miami Life'.

'Stay' may hands down be the greatest song on the album. And 'Black Bond' is just insane lyrically. I think it's moved into my top five now.

[Demonic Jenkins]

so am i the only one that thinks wheres the love is the hotest song song on the album? From the verses to the beat?

that beat is DOPE to me.

 

[Demonic Jenkins]

im disapointed in about half of the production...i personally think its a classic album lyrically but not a full out class overrall.

 

[H.S.]

It's crazy to see everyone say they have a different favorite track. I still can't really pick. My favorite changes everytime I hear the album.

[CapFromMCU]

first verse on "The Black Bond" makes me want to book a flight to Paris and just walk around the Left Bank at night with a tuxedo and Testoni's on followed by a candlelit yacht dinner on the Mediterranean with a sexy ass russian spy b!tch. #needtogetmysh!ttogether

Nas never released an album this long that's this consistently good. It's gonna hold down a lot of guys when they get hit with that alimony. Instant classic.
