SMFH and we wonder why Hip Hop is shit, it is because the people with the voice and the control have no vision. I played this album last week more that I played that KanyeвЂ™s new Ablum, which while has solid production is lacking in the lyrical department, it has little substance plain and simpleвЂ¦ While KanyeвЂ™s album was solid this does circles around KanyeвЂ™s Album. You lost touch with the pulse of good Hip Hop music, donвЂ™t get caught up in the hype like everyone else. That Nas and Damian Marley was one of the best album of the yearвЂ¦ Something that is actually saying something with dope beatsвЂ¦ Look at Ye & Hov right nowвЂ¦ the music they will put will be dope, not immaculateвЂ¦but the point isвЂ¦ They are activeвЂ¦they are generating interestвЂ¦ Nas has 0 buzz with the exception of his die hard fansвЂ¦and even his die hard fans are losing interest in his music! ThatвЂ™s not good!

I donвЂ™t want some overly deep album from NasвЂ¦I just want him to give me an album with hard beats, and ill rhymesвЂ¦and just relate to me as a man! He has done it beforeвЂ¦but this is an industry of what have you done for me lately! And itвЂ™s his time to decide if this is the end of the road for him. I usually donвЂ™t agree with Elliot Wilson on most Hip Hop thingsвЂ¦but he gets my stamp of approval with this one! Nas next album is going to either catapult him into the future/re-energize his career or unfortunately whether you will admit it or notвЂ¦ his career might be finished! My biggest pet peeve with rappers is not following 2 codes you should never breakвЂ¦ #1 If it ainвЂ™t broke, donвЂ™t fix it! #2 Yes you do make music for the fans! Nas broke both those codes after Stillmatic was released! HeвЂ™s my favorite lyricist hands down, and I believe the best writer of modern timeвЂ¦ And he has more talent than most MCвЂ™s could ever dream of, including HovвЂ¦ but heвЂ™s been the biggest disappointment of any great MC we have! How many more projects are going to be put out without the production of Premier? Pete Rock? Large Pro?вЂ¦ Say what u want, but these legends bring out the best in Nas! HeвЂ™s better than 99% of MCвЂ™s on a shitty beat, but you get him on the right soundscape, and heвЂ™s better than everybody!! How many more albums are going to be soo deep, that it requires you to have your thinking cap on for the entire album? IвЂ™m not making fun of himвЂ¦ but IвЂ™m being dead serious! Nas kills himself by trying so hard to do things different from everybody else.
