7/10

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[whoisraymos]

Can't believe Nav went from three NOT GOODs to a 7. Awesome comeback

[alabama]

I'm glad he's releasing more music in addition to his "7" EP featuring Panini and Old Town Road

This is the 156th review of 2020

[dillobagginz]

This guy really fell off after Old Town Road, such a shame.

[yd]

It just makes me so happy to see Nas succeeding after people thought he fell off.

[carlospetsdogs]

I can’t believe people thought you were standing all these years.

[oscaravila]

The score isn't spaced well Melon, I'm disappointed

[MVD.]

Still can't believe he's sitting down during these reviews

[cheese]

It’s a decent 8 for me. One of the best hip hop records of the year.

[dillontaylor]

I saw Anthony in a best buy and his wallet was leather please spread this information before i'm silenced

[bmhwdy]

Everyone said Nas would be a one hit wonder after Old Town Road. This album proved them wrong.

[gbenzo]

Excuse me ma’am, not to be disrespectful or rude but could you please take post down. That is my sister who was killed by a metra train. And it this post is very disrespectful. Idk who you are or if you even know her but I need you to take this down please.

[spongeaang]

It's remarkable that Nas has been around for 30 years and still consistently releases good music people are excited to hear. Life is Good was fantastic and King's Disease was also really solid too. I am glad he's finally just ditching what old heads want from him in terms of direction and growing with his music.

[manueldeleon]

By the way he breathed at the beginning I could tell it was gonna be a 7

[shades]

Man I was really worried he was gonna give this a bad rating

[yd]

Nas “I don’t have any rap in my playlist”
Also Nas’s Spotify playlist:
Backseat Freestyle
m.A.A.d city
A.D.H.D
Money Trees
Rigamortous
HiiiPower
Hands On The Wheel
Man of The Year
Collard Greens
Ima Boss
Dreams and Nightmares
(Half of Biggie’s and Pac’s catalogue)
(Almost the entire “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”).

[lanchez]

Giving this project a 7/10 due to Nas not specifying what disease the “King” had wasn’t very professional of you Melon 😡

[cronenberg-esque]

honestly one of my favorite rap albums this year

[zeo]

Anthony, white knighting Doja Cat by attacking Nas for 12 minutes and 37 seconds is not a review

[LeBeautiful]

GRAMMY WINNER!!! shoutout to Nas, one of the greatest to ever do it
