    Ehhhm, wtf?! I mean, I've always been a Nas fan, not a die hard fan but I always considered him as one of the greatest of all time. What is this **** Same beats, same sounds, same topics etc. I get that you don't wanna change your style Nas, but innovating is just something you don't wanna hear about I think.

It was good at my first listening but after I listened to it twice and thrice it just becomes tedious and annoying at some point. Legit is the only song I can appreciate after the third listening. I didn't plan to write this as I always liked the man but this **** is bad.… Expand

    First listening: good. Not smth really exciting but it was good. Second listening: average. I start to feel that sounds and words are just something already heard. Third listening: this **** is god awful. I skipped at least half of the album. Not good enough to catch my attention. I'll never listen to this album again probably.

I'll never listen to this album again probably. Could be a problem of mine since a lot of people seem to be satisfied with this product. I'm not. Not a reason to hate on Nas though. 1.5 of his last 3 projects were really good. KD2 was a good 8/10 for me. KD was decent, nothing special. Magic is something I don't wanna talk about, 0/10. Sorry Nas.… Expand

    More of the same. Nothing more to say. All the 10s must be die hard fans cause I don't see anything special in this one. The first KD remains the best since his Illmatic days.

    Bad. Sincerely, he should retire, I mean, I think he still makes good music but he doesn't match modern hip-hop. Good album taken singularly but compared to what hip-hop is today.

    Trash as usual. Jay-Z is the one and only GOAT. Retire Nas, you'll never be as good as your eternal rival, stop chasing him, NY has only one king

    Sincerely, how can you rate this 10/10? This is just bang average. Normal project, nothing more. This album isn't better than MMLP or TPAB, open you fckn eyes. Every Kendrick record is better than this and that's why this shouldn't be rated higher than every Kendrick album. This is a good 6/10 but i'mma give it a 0 because I can't see this album topping with other rap masterpieces whenSincerely, how can you rate this 10/10? This is just bang average.

    Mid album, overrated af. Nas is a good rapper but he has a big weakness: He should have retired a long time ago.

    The resulting work is at once loose and deeply complex, effortless in its incisiveness yet still dazzling at its peaks. The three bullions on the album’s cover say it best: this duo keep on producing gold.

    Throughout the album Nas sounds engaged, and his choices are unbeholden to the whims of the market. [Jan 2023, p.78]

    Nas sounds like he’s regained his confidence as the king once more. He sounds like the king. He’s in that “Ether” mindset once more – not necessarily as vicious, but simply sounding like he’s willing to name names and it feels like he’s genuinely having fun with his writing.
