The first track starts with the line “Escobar season begins” but despite this lyric (and song) trying to sound like “Hate Me Now”, it sports a basic flow.

Unfortunately for West, with such mediocre albums, these LPs do nothing but highlight what a sellout hack he is (and always was).īack to Nasir itself, this album is a huge let down if you’re a Nas fan. The recent slew of Kanye West-produced LPs are not only vanity projects for Kanye, they seem like a distraction from his recent slavery comments and MAGA hat-wearing bullshit.

Brainwash without the added element of satire, it makes you wonder who is buying these pieces of aural excrement. With Kanye churning out albums like a musical Mr. With Kanye handling all the production on this LP, I guess it doesn’t really matter whether Nas’ album is distributed by another label, this is a GOOD Music album in spirit roping in a decent rapper to lay some verses over bargain-basement beats.

After hearing the other offerings from GOOD including the shite Ye however, you may think to yourself is Kanye’s GOOD Music putting out any good music? This has to be the most ironic label name in Hip-Hop history. The overall feeling is underwhelming to say the least, and with Nas’ strangely tame and stagnant flow, you wonder why this turd wasn’t polished a little more before it was flushed out into the world.īefore it was finally released on Mass Appeal Records, it was reported that Nasir would be part of the recent GOOD Music release schedule. This LP is not only short, it’s also mediocre, almost sounding like it was created in the space of a few hours with some left-over production from Kanye West. Nas’ latest album Nasir is out today and unfortunately it’s a disappointment.
