The only track I can’t get with is Bouquet. One of the longest songs on the album and 95% shoutouts
really not needed considering writers has the same concept and is 1000 x better. Literally the only complaint I have about the album though… tbh most Nas albums have that one track I just don’t like

Deleted the song tbh. About 15 listens deep, I give it enough of a chance! Love everything else though. Found the first listen jarring but album is such a grower
just no reason for that song to be the third NY State of Mind man. insult to the og

They just showing love to women.

I get that, but it didn’t really need to be a track, there’s a physical release, write it on the booklet/inside the vinyl. I don’t want to hear a list of 100+ names being listed on a song. This isn’t game

Nah I get it. It fits really well. It’s a 30 year update. Does what it supposed to do really well imo and I love the lyrics, sample and production

I feel the same. I’m finding it wild that a lot of users are trashing this. I mean I get it with the Kanye/Nas album, but this is pure quality
Magic 1 is his best rapping sense then but i agree people being too hateful twords this album
One thing I’ve always loved about Illmatic is you ca close your eyes and picture being there it’s so vivid. I think this has that kinda energy. It’s like a movie of New York, both old and new and I think the beats complement it so well!
Tbf most Nas albums you can do this to
Madman had potential in being the best beat on the album.. but Premo had to ruin it with that one note synth in the background

Insult is kinda pushing it
The production on this is a massive grower imo. First listen I felt a little underwhelmed waiting for the Nas is like type joint. But once you know that’s not coming on repeated spins I actually love the production. Feels damn near flawless to me
The problem I have with the production is how light it sounds and his samples were p generic. Premo was one producer who's beats always sounded dusty and brought a nostalgia feeling with them. This didn't have that imo.
Shout out to Nas for carrying the project
