Nas & Damian Marley- Distant Relatives (tracklist)

This is just what Nas needed, someone with good musical sense to guide a project with him. This will probably be his best album in years.

I doubt it could top Untitled but I'm open to surprises.

That shit is looking good! But what up with no release date? Are they still shoppng for a label?

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully it will be out by November

Co-Sign, I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. Nas and Stevie Wonder on the same track sounds awesome!

Hopefully this kills Untitled. The beats on there were wack as fuck.

I'll agree with you to an extent. Some of the beats were wack.

look we actually agree on something about hip hop lol

I loved the beats...

I liked the beats, too. The way they seemed stripped down worked perfect for the album

Nas was more focused on Untitled than he'd been in a while, but musically it was still a half-assed album. Nas just doesn't have a very good sense of those things. Damian Marley and Stephen Marley definitely do though, so we should finally get Nas with consistently strong and cohesive production, and hopefully just as focused as on Untitled.

Yeah, but I'm worried about mixing K'Naan and 9th Wonder in there with those guys...seems really fucking odd to me.

K'naan makes sense to me, he's experienced in mixing genres, including reggae and hip-hop, and this album is about Africa, so the issues are right along with what he talks about. 9th is more out of place.

hopefully this will revive what nas lost long ago. shit i haven't liked anything since It Was Writen

The production for Untitled could have been better overall, but for certain songs it fit perfectly. I can't see less than 4.5 stars for that album given the lyricism and subject matter.

It sounds like it's going to be quite the collabo. I'll definitely be looking for it.
