Yeah that beat goes hard, first time hearing that... Just feels like he does alot of drumless stuff these days... I still prefer his older stuff, back when he had his own signature sound... As dope as that beat is you posted it could be anyones...

Hov got about 10 bad beats his whole career.
We could do a whole 128 seed tournament for trash Nas beats, with half the bracket nothing but Salaam Remi
Remember in the I.C days, 'NAS LOST' was a thing...
Now all he does is win, win, win...

Some of you Niggas acting like Preme forced the beat on Nas like that was the only beat he got. Would I prefer boom bap beats, of course but shit this isn't 90's. That would be like Dre still doing G Funk.

I am a huge Nas fan. This is alright at best and I am being very generous. It is very forgettable. The beat is just bare bones. The ending wasn't necessary. I hope it doesn't make the final album if that's what they are trying to do and this is more like a teaser.
But then again, you should tease the fans with something immaculate than this subpar joint. Just being honest here.
Also, I pray to God that Hit-Boy acts as an A&R on this album. I am sorry but I can't trust Nas with beat selections too tough anymore, especially after working with Hit for 3+ years, I am sure he allowed Hit to take the music as far as possible. Preemo seems to be the older dude who is happy to be there and nods about everything with a smile lol.

This, right here.
I swear I was thinking I rather Nas & Alchemist album than Premier.
Preemo production do sound dated.

Inconvenient Truth + Necessary Evil
It's kind of cringe preme can't read the roomAfter so long, especially after young dude been lacing NaS for 6 albums straight, you'll think Premier would come with something raw and epic
This is a very basic repetitive and damn a boring beat …after a few listens it becomes obnoxious
Hitboy INSPIRED nas
What's his inspiration to do a whole album with preme? I wish he would take the hint

I'm probably in the minority but I hate that farty Dr Knockboots beat and that Big Things beat for making Nas even attempt to rhyme like Do or Die.
Some of his worst imo

I get it. People have shared hate for him.
They linked up to do one song /few songs and it turned into 6 albums.
For Nas that's unprecedented with how they dropped them.
I feel like Hit needs some credit for giving Nas that hunger again.
We got some great songs and great features in that time frame.
Granted Nas don't even have to rap anymore.
He's stamped and official.
What he's giving us now is lagniappe and pretty much doing victory laps at this point in his career.
IDK all about that
This felt like a homage to the 90s but I feel like we've evolved past that
