So far the following songs have been released or leaked; Nasty, The Don, Daughters, Cherry Wine, Accident Murders, Loko, Bye Baby and Reach out.

Nasty, The Don, Daughters, Cherry Wine and Reach out are fairly impressive and the other three less so for me.





 
I didn't really listen to the singles as they came out, I'm 5 tracks into the album and it's quality so far.
 
fecking hell, ''Summer on Smash'' is single-handedly attempting to destroy the album.
 
As Sally said today it's leaked. One of his strongest albums since Stillmatic for me. A lot of quality on it. I love the ending of Queen's story and the way it connects to Accident Murderers. Reach out is quality, No Introduction is classic and World's an Addiction is brilliant too. Summer on Smash was an instant skip.
 
Summer on Smash...it's that guaranteed one track you find on a Nas album where you are like WTF?

No Introduction is so epic and emotional though. It's his most emotion filled album since God's Son. Both after big events in his life, God's Son his mom's death, Life is Good his divorce.
 
His beat selection is so unbelievably poor. This is apparently made for us 'stuck-in-the-90's listeners'? Sounds like Nas can't even remember himself anymore.

11 tracks in, I wish I hadn't started.

That was just for loco-motive. You don't even like that track? And I think Nas remembers himself just fine, after all, he is Nas :p
 
Yeah, last time I checked Stretch, YOU WEREN'T NAS!

Now Nas, simple question here, do you remember yourself or not?

I thought Loco-motive was good, nothing special. In my view, the album is a joke, I thought this was one of his poorer efforts. I believe I have given up.
 
It sounds all a bit too orchestra for me, alot going on in the background.

Some of his best stuff is just a drum beat and a bassline, it seems too... epic for a hiphop album in a way

i do like the Don though and a few other tracks. Not a complete fail but not what i was hoping for.

:lol: Wait, so Nas doesn't remember who Nas is but Hectic does?...mmmkkk moving on.

I disagree with you Hectic, but then we've disagreed on this for a while.
 
It's a simple enough question, the answer would hold the complexity.
 
It's just not what I'm after. I've liked loads of his stuff since illmatic, however he obviously hasn't produced anything near illmatic since then either. I didn't enjoy the album at all, although I expect many will love it.

Summer on Smash....That's a Nas song yo.
