This not having the must listen tag shocked me. this isnt just my favourite nas album of his hit boy collaborations but imo its his best since it was written. 9 tracks and all bangers. some of Hit-Boy's smoothest beats and Nas spits some of his best verses showing just how well his style has aged. i know calling this better than KD3 is considered blasphemy to many but fuck i cannot get enough of this album and i havent since i first heard it. speechless and wu for the children especially are some of his best songs of all time but most of the songs on here are contenders for that. fucking fantastic project all around and much more than just an album to build hype
