if you haven't gotten the message of the album...you need to listen to that shit again..
The album is fucking dope!
Yes he talks about Kelis, his daughter, his friends that are dead or not around ...but to me it looks like he's ready to start again and re-invent himself..
Great message and it's a breath of fresh air for hip hop listeners because there's nobody else that has album like that right now...
better than illmatic? damn. he was dope on illmatic tho. u talkin about lyrics? but i didnt listen to this new 1 yet. and im 1 of the not so many that say his best work is it was written.
It Was Written was my first Nas album, so I am biased towards it. I went to the store to cop Illmatic but it was sold out, so I settled for IWW. I was happy with it. I personally never really got into Illmatic.
Better than illmatic? well to each their own but this is def not better than illmatic IMO. I would give this album a 3/5 since it doesn't have a high replay value as a album just a select few songs.
Not bad as usual but indeed no "Illmatic" and also not one of my favorite released albums this year. I don't know how to explain it but it feels like im missing something.

stillmatic was alright, there was some beats i didn't feel, same thing with gods son and hip hop is dead. i feel most of the beats on life is good, so theres like one song i skip (summer on smash) and the don ain't great, but i can listen to it
Album is not god-tier but damn does he spit raw feelings on some of these songs. He's definitely giving us his emotions on some tracks and i can see why some people might not like that. Can't ignore the fact he is speaking from the heart. Though some of the beats are wack, his flow is on point.
