Patons

This album was weird
The songs are short, the beats are chill and comforting, while earl raps on them like he is part of the harmony and not over it.
Im definetly not a music expert, but i can say that this was one of the most musically interesting and unique albums ive ever listened to

Wth are critics smoking
I really fucked with bombs in the ville the beat switch was so unecessary and ruined the song imo
Still solid project from cole, i expected a bit more tho since the fall off was so anticipated

This shit is incredibile how did i manage to live without this until now

Ok, it is true that i gas every album i listen to. It is true that nas is the best rapper of all time imo, even if i dont even have enough knowledge to say that probably. But holy shit. There were absolutely no skips here, every song is catchy and has amazing storytelling, the flow is as immaculate as allways. My favourite nas album remains "the lost tapes" (yes, hot take, and yes, ive given it a lower score, but still), but this is probably his best album, even better than illmatic.
