Nas "barely" fell off.
Hip Hop is Dead is mediocre at worst
I haven't heard that Untitled one or know anything about it
and Distant Relatives was one of the best hip hop albums of last year imo
Hip Hop is Dead was good to me, just some boring tracks and yeah, mediocre at worst.
Untitled was good but people complain too much about the production again. :I Thing is that you have to understand about Untitled is that is that it's supposed to take the theme of old time slavery and 1930's type of era **** like that and the beats definitely give off those vibes; hence the priorly intended name for the album "Nigg[er]."
Distant Relatives had too much Reggae in it to keep me interested tbh... good nonetheless though.
I don't think he fell off really, still destroying ****. In an interview someone asked him where Nasty Nas went and he said he never left, he said his next album he might be goin back to his Illmatic type of flow and all that so look out for that. Man might be comin back with a vengeance.
