It does sound better than Stillmatic.

It's not like the flyest, smokin, rule, my country, etc. are impossible to surpass. Not saying those tracks are weak. Just saying'...

I only really think I'll skip one track is anything and that's "Accident murderers". Just wasn't feeling it from jump. Everything else is crack rocks.

Thank You...

We got 18 tracks on this snippet (not including the overseas bonus) and there are about 2 tracks the majority of us are questioning which is the intro and the Swizz joint

Speaking ONLY on production, this surpasses Stillmatic....Even records like destroy & rebuild werent the smoothest sounding joints, but Nas hard hitting lyrics made it dope. Same goes with Ether....Ron Browz gave Nas a dud, and GOAT turned it into a classic.

I see where people are coming from bringing up God's Son and Streets Disciple in the comparisons because the vibe is introspective and laid back...kinda like Nas is spittin from his diary or something...but from what I just listened to this goes harder

At night, New York, eat a slice too hot
Use my tongue to tear the skin hangin' from the roof of my mouth
shyt was felissimo, melted pot, city sweltering hot
Staggerin' drunker than those cops that 2pac shot *gunshot*


HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA @ YOU OTHER RAPPERS

those 4 bars drive me crazy every fukkin time

Stillmatic didn't have a "raw/street" sound either.

The Flyest
Every Ghetto

Lol at your definition of raw and street.

Locomotive and Nasty alone kill your whole logic.
