I swear y'all read way too much into way too little. Nas has dropped a couple handfulls of dope features in the last year, year and a half. None show any signs of a fall off nor disinterest. He's constantly doing shows and obviously has many other ventures...I remember cats saying he wasn't on jay level cuz he wasn't business minded lol. From what I hear he's doing quite well. And I say good for him!
Records don't sell at all anymore, so he needs to get his paper any way he can and pleases. He doesn't owe anyone anything.
His catalog is timeless and not a week goes by that I don't listen to Nas in some capacity. He's got a ton of unreleased music...hundreds and hundreds of songs. I'm always feasting on those.
I'm prob a bigger Nas fan than most, and I def want new music from him, but let him do it when he's ready. I'm glad he's not forcing anything nor putting out an album just to appease the fans.
I'm sure he's recorded 2 albums worth of material in the last 4 years, but if he doesn't feel it's right than so be it! Y'all will be the same ones saying he needs to hang it up if it's not perfect in your eyes, but stay getting salty when he doesn't drop it. Like y'all think you're entitled to it or something.
