Huge Nas fan, but I truly don't know what to make of this album. It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's just kind of "there".

Inner w Peace

"The voice triggers somethin', what is this conundrum?
The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile
Still puff the loud, it's nothin' less than a quarter pound
Savage narrative, every verse that I write bursts light

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve
Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree"


"[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
Dark boy, don't you cry
There's too much life left in those eyes
Don't you let that face go waterfall
Don't you learn to love your scars and all
Dark boy, don't you die
They're just human, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For you'll love, in your heart
See cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything, I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 1: Nas]
When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black beloved brother
You fail to embarrass him, harassin' him
To my life, your life pales in comparison
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God
Do what's necessary, I'm never worried
Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
That's why we competin', death by the chrome barrel
Forgot the secrets, My Kilimanjaro bone marrow's the deepest
You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that"

Masterpiece.

I dont expect anyone to like the album. Afterall Nas speaks to issues some cringe at.
But we in the streets relate to Nas, Not only is this album dope but it is another classic. The true light that gives light to everyone.

Everything would be a lot better if Kanye didn't have to make the song about himself with his terrible singing.

Inner w Peace

It kind of reminds me of "Kanye West - Jesus Walks"  meets "Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing " the old Kanye feeling.

And Nas, He is always on point.

"Just to remind me, just to inspire me
To stay focused, it's a real sick society
Just cause I got your support don't mean you're buyin' me
I'm buyin' back the land owned by the slave masters
Where my ancestors lived, just to say a rapper
Made a change, the pants-sagger put plans in action
To lay claim the Pan-African made it happen

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]
You'll live, and you'll learn
See cause you've never been the same anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
You'll live, and you'll learn
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else"

Nas is undoubtedly in the Top 5. The new album Magic 3 is proof of that. At 50 years old, still running laps, and the album Nasir remains strong and fresh, just like when it was released. Great album
