The first Nas album that I’ve rated lower than the average user score. This album just doesn’t feel like a Nas album. I’m not saying it’s Damian Marley’s fault or that he’s a bad artist by any means, but they have no chemistry, which is why this album has no replay value for me. There are no bad songs on it, but there’s also no standout track I’d want to come back to.
Nas is the only rapper to have songs like Still Dreaming and Who Killed It? on the same album
There are no necessarily awful songs, flow is great, and the melodies are decent, but overall it’s a boring, forgettable, and way too long album, with a few standout tracks like Nazareth Savage and Thief’s Theme. Of all Nas’s albums, critics somehow decided this one deserves a must hear.
Amazing comeback album. Some hooks and beats could be better, but it also has some of my favorite Nas’s songs like You're da Man or One Mic.
Almost flawless. I’m not a big fan of the hook on Watch Dem Ni**as and Black Girl Lost is slightly weaker than the rest of the tracks.

"@2CLASSIFIED2 Tbh idk either. While I’m listening to these songs I’m aware that almost every single aspect of them is garbage, but somehow all that garbage put together ends up sounding good and catchy"
On ROSALÍA - MOTOMAMI
"@javier I don’t speak spanish so I was judging whether it’s generic solely based on the sound. If you say it’s not generic at all, I can check out the video but despite the message I don’t know if I’ll give this album a higher rating because I just don’t enjoy how it sounds"

On Kendrick Lamar - GNX
"@gurupopuri True, wacced out murals and man at the garden are perfect examples of GNX songs that just keep getting better over time. They used to be some of my least favorites when the album dropped, and now they’re both easily top 5 for me. The title track gnx has grown on me a bit too, though I’m still not really a fan of the features on it."
