All of the above imo

Like I love the cool, but the back half of the production falls off a bit but like I said before, his lyrics overshadow that

Being honest his first two albums for me personally.. the lyrics carried it to me...

this album... looking at it.. all the songs I said that stuck out to me... the beats and jazz vibe they had was what hooked me.. moreso than the lyrics.

Sure the lyrics are there.. but the beats grabbed me first.. Yall might have a point on the production

Whoever executive produced this album did an amazing job with the track arrangement. That lends itself to the vibe and story that I believe Lupe was going for too.

Throw us in the water, execution
We really thought we wasn't gonna do nothin'
But the sharks and the dolphins gonna do somethin'
Walked up out that water, evolution,

Aye theres so much to decipher in King Nas....

In that first part he talking about what happened between him, Chill, and Jay when he was supposed to become the president at Atlantic...

Listen to what Chilly said happened with Jay and why Lu even signed with Atlantic.



Then this verse

Ghetto mythologies colonize my mind constantly
I shine sonically in the Chi, divine comedy
I vibe consciously to override suicide inside
Honestly 'cause they don't wanna honor me and honesty
Black king poetic with Nat King's aesthetic
Half-dream, half-machine where a black queen's get naked
For a dollar from a scholar like me
Not at all bothered by what outsider might see
Flippin, a thousand grams get dissolved in the kitchen
Heart wrenchin', part played, took away from my ascension
Crooked ways brought from car lookaways from tooken Js
But it's too late for your prevention 'cause I'm playin' my position



This migga cold...

Aye, don't get sassy with me doggy. Its only 9 dope songs on this album. These are the facts. And those 9 songs are better than any other 9 songs on any other album released this year.

 

[Broddie]

Kept 5 songs. Keep in mind I skipped his last 3 projects so my frame of thought is just :"At least it's not Lasers".
