How does he write like this? Personifying beef making it appear to be executed so effortlessly.

I'm the words that get misinterpreted
I'm the get back, I'm the first to hit
I'm the worst of it, lurkin' on your premises
I am your nemesis
Parents of every slain rapper wish I didn't exist
But I'm alive and I thrive on your ignorance
I'm a thousand foot fence that keep you from getting rich

Why it's always gotta be resortin' to me?
I ain't asked for this power
It's torture, it forced me to see
People drainin' themselves, some pull off some horrible deeds
Rumors turnin' into a monster, lies always mislead
By the time you hear what somebody said
It's stretched out, they expanded and made it worse
Now you all stressed out
You wish you got it straightened out
But it's too far gone
From "Who Shot Ya?" to "Hit Em Up" to Tupac's song



This has the potential to be my favourite Nas album, only time will tell.

I'm loving that Nas is getting his flowers and that people still recognize and praise real hip-hop.
It's easy to distinguish the difference between real hip-hop and this new s---. I'm all for innovation in music, but nothing beats this era of hip-hop.

I dont know what kind of cheat code hit boy and nas found but this run is spectactular!

Nas fans....

I'm going to admit something here, I became a proper fan from Hip Hop is Dead. I was late to the party. Doesn't mean I don't rank him, I absolutely do.

But how would you rank his albums?

Can't stop bumping KDIII. I think this will be one of those albums that I genuinely go back to years down the line. I really enjoyed 1 & 2 but I think I've spun 3 twice the amount of both of them put together.

I'm going to follow @Worm 's advice and spin the earlier albums to see if I'm seeing things differently but right now this feels like a classic. And it's been a loooong time since I've used that term.

Same, I'm barely listening to projects this year.

I love Dawn FM too, songs are amazing, but this piece:



Man, Jim Carrey a legend, this is powerful

 

Nov 18, 2022

I’m stuck between Dawn FM and Mr. Morale being my #1 album of the year. I’ll decide in December which one I like better

 

Nov 18, 2022

Solid list. I only heard 8 albums from it tho

Not to answer for him but check out come home the kids miss you by jack harlow. I think that’s definitely AOTY contender. Amazing beats, flows, rhymes, and story. I don’t see a lot of people talking about it here

 

Nov 17, 2022

What is your rap aoty contender by now?

Nasty nas can you do sum 4 meee

 

Nov 12, 2022

You probably right, I’m in the honeymoon period right now. Illmatic I always place in its own universe but the other projects always had a few duds & even some of the great concepts had issues with production & this one knocks it out of the park on that front. But yeah, I’ll see how I feel after the dust settles.

I thought Life Is Good was nice, it had some great tracks.
