    Yeah. Inconsistency is Nas' Achilles Heel, unfortunately. But that "Verbal Intercourse" opener is something else. Not to be corny, but I felt like he opened my third eye for me when I first heard that verse. Only feature outside of Wu-Tang members that Raekwon included on "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx". Says something. He stole the whole show. Not easy to do at all. Especially back then. 1995 Nas > *

    Til The War Is Won, Nas’ most personal song ever? Seriously let’s talk about it. His side of Kelis’ domestic violence allegations, “Moms gone, pops here, wish God reversed the roles”, his take on manhood and being a parent. So many layers in this one f---ing song.

    I loved it off the first listen, AZ & Cormega rose to the occasion! Was nice hearing Foxy again, she always had a cool delivery.

    Would have loved a vintage Dre beat, I did like Hit-Boys attempt at making it sound like one tbh. Had a similar baseline to Phone Tap

    I'm still shook how Dr. Dre little outro was so huge. Man is still hungry, he better come through with proper closure. Not like Compton wasn't perfect... but I want more.

    Nas mentioned 2 projects he was working on earlier in the year. He said he was working with Hit-Boy on one, and had another project he didn't want to speak on. Perhaps this is Firm related.
