i see what your saying but i swear it had something to do with the beats he was on. cause at 1st listen i felt the same then i gave it another listen and really tuned in on Nas' lyrics and they were on pouint throughout the entire album. it's just that they were on some damian marley beats the whole time.
and another reason why i love nas is he always remember where he came from. jay z is a prime example of what not to do when you get rich and famous and nas is an example of what should be done.
I saw this few weeks ago when they premiered it on tv. Its a tight song but imo not a radio friendly song that they looking for. thats probaly why the album will be pushed back again. Nas one the best though anyway it goes.
