    Everything is great, except for the flow. His flow is kinda f----- up, like hes barely rapping and almost speaking words that happen to rhyme. Its missing that classic nas swagger to the delivery in general, and thats a big issue for me.

    Not For Radio and Cops Shot The Kid are early favourites. Everything (the song) is an absolute mess.

    i feel like it takes 2-3 posters saying they don't like smth/are disappointed for the rest to follow. And whenever you get something unexpected, experimental it's gonna be shat on

    The opposite is also true, if this thread started with "omg this is the best album ever" this thread would've looked completely different

    Honestly this is what I'm honestly thinking...there's nothing wrong with this album or Nas' flow I just feel like people are jumping on the bandwagon

    The only one that sticks out is Everything for me. Sticks out like a sore thumb and of course the anti-vax lyrics are vexing.

    I think nas has felt some type of way for anti-vax since stillmatic:

    "Physicians prescriptin us medicine, which is poison, doctors injecting our infants, with the poison"

    I like this, problem is it does sound like this was rushed and could have benefitted with more time for Nas & Ye to work out some ideas and concepts--aka what Nas does best. Kanye has been unreal behind the board, all this music has been so sonically delightful

    People criticising Nas loosing his “swagger” and “flow” when the only nas album they’ve listened to is Illmatic
