Untitled Unmastered was ass. Cant believe they was charging ppl for that. Should kept that or gave it away as a free mixtape

I fucked with untitled unmastered, how some nice songs on it

 

[Duwop]

nas is a rare talent

kendrick is a refreshing talent

 

[Zagreus]

Never been a nas fan at all. Tried to listen to illmatic and not one track appealed to me in the least.

I did enjoy distant relatives and I like a couple of his guest verses but that's it

With that said, I think I might have to put K.dot in my top 5 after this album.

After that it rotates everyday between BIG, Wayne, Budden and now K.Dot

[Race Jones]

Not ready to put K.dot in my top 5 yet.

I love K.dot but I'm not quite understanding the comparison to Nas.
Ive heard this before and it threw me off then.
are we speaking about lyrical content/quality or aesthetic?

 

[Goldie]

I think anyone compared to Nas is a tough debate, BUT I'm noticing and having issue with people having trouble with bringing newer artists into the Goat conversation. I get it, you were raised on certain people, your mama and daddy played that shit in the house, that's cool, but there's mfs who came out after who are better. People put these old school artists on pedestals and can't imagine a new artist being compared to them.


K.dot is and should be in the top 5/goat conversation.

I only had a 2.0 in high school so im not sure what aesthetic means.

Im just showing the comparison if we look at kendrick & Nas 8 years removed from their debut.

Nas at age 29 was widely considered the GOAT already.
