There’s been a lot made of hip-hop not looking after its elders, but the reality is that those older artists were selling out venues and touring, they just failed to find traction in terms of mainstream relevance. The likes of Nas and Jay-Z prove that if you can make relevant good music, the world will be forced to pay attention.

    How about a comeback from Kanye copy/pasting his verses over some beats for that Nasir album?

      Nasir was still solid though. It’s weak compared to rest of Nas but it’s still a good album on its own.

        Man I really like Nasir it just has some ass takes and a bit too much Kanye here and there but the Nas verses are at the very least flowing well even if he saying some weird fox news is black shit
