:whoo: :whoo: :ahh:

You could make a valid argument that all these tracks are 5/5, and even songs like No Introduction and Reach Out are no less than a 4/5. There is no denying that this album is a classic. There is no need to wait for an extended period time to call an album classic when you can recognize the greatness of it now. Can somebody honestly name another album in YEARS that has come out with that many quality songs :ohlawd:

Rose is dope as hell.

I'm not sure whether to purchase or not. I mean I hope they aren't gonna perform If I Ruled The World a million times....

Remember what I said about them needing to perform "It wasn't You" more often? Hopefully they perform that and other songs we may have not heard.

By the way is it me or "Black Rage" and everything L. Boogie has going through tax related, the least talented Marley(the Latoya Jackson of the Marley family getting engaged to someone 20 shades lighter than her and Wyclef "Superhead" Jean blowing up her spot in his book, and the holier than thou of these dumb LSA bytches that have been shytting on her in glee for the past decade............Black Rage would seem like a very nice album title.

Rohan and Wyclef are about to get Kelised.....

:wow:

:what: :stopitslime:

easily 5's
:what:

Opinions will always differ but that's never seen a 3.5, surely?



stay is dope as fck but it feels like it should have been on hip-hop is dead or n1gger

it drags the album down for me and the placement on the cd isn't good either


I don't really like Cherry Wine, the song is cool but if its a "5" then what is "like smoke"?
I would've appreciated a more soulful track it feels too melancholy.

the topics in this song I feel were covered better in "Roses". again I can't stress the dopeness of "Like Smoke" which ALSO covered the divorce/I'm single topic better too.


Bye Baby is easily the dopest commercial track Nas has ever done IMO I love the nuance of the beat dropping only on the hook, love the guy sample.

BUT this is NAS. I know this song isn't necessary and just because its better than all his previous efforts of "selling out" doesn't mean I gotta think its flawless.

mind you, I don't skip the song but its drakes producer. I don't like drake one bit. another producer I believe would've flipped that sample better.

I hope you enjoyed my explanations.
