Jun 24, 2018Absolutely immaculate body of work from Nas over pristine production from Kanye West, we don't get rappers doing this sort of rap enough. Mature, knowledge based and elite, an album to uplift the people. The critics need to appreciate this more.

Jun 19, 2018just disappointed that was just 7 songs, but great album, my second favorite of the year behind KOD, hope nas releases the real album he was working on soon

Jun 20, 2018Nas made a big mistake. He collaborated with Kanye. Kanye made the perfect Nas album and the media reviews are terrible. Because they don't listen to the music, they just hate Kanye. All respect to Nas and Kanye for Nasir, a pure masterpiece.

Jun 17, 2018Great album. Although it obviously wasn't Nas' best performance lyrically the production more than makes up for it. Really happy with this record.

Jun 16, 2018This is THE AOTY, bringing out the best of the lyricism in Nasir Jones and production in Kanye West.

Best Album of the Year -
Jun 16, 2018One of Nas' best albums. Though not as good as Illmatic or It Was Written, it might be better than The Lost Tapes, God Son, Stillmatic and Life Is Good. Nas' biggest weakness has always been his beat selection. With production from Kanye, there's no such worries this time.
-
Jun 15, 2018The best album of the year by far . It was even better than ye and Kids see Ghosts

Jun 16, 2018Absolutely a masterpiece. I higly recommend giving it a lsiten. You will not regret.

Jun 16, 2018Rich musically, deep lyrically, 1 of todays finest hip hop art work by one of all time greatest MC and all time greatest producer. Considering where Hip Hop was these past few years, this is realy a massive turn in music. Nas best work since Illmatic, no doubt.

Jun 17, 2018Dude! Seriously this album is Legendary. Can we all admit that Kanye is on one, in the best way possible. I love everything Kanye is touching lately. Also Nas is a LEGEND. so sick.

Jun 19, 2018This is my first review. I felt compelled to write it as this is a fantastic album. Kanye's production is on point and there's a special synergy between Nas and he. 7 focused, beautiful tracks. Don't miss this!

Jun 17, 2018This is what happens when you match a sampling production genius with a lyrical genius and poet over enthralling and moving instrumentals with haunting background vocals and trumpets. Damn near a classic LP and one of Nas's most concise and masterful works like the days of Illmatic.
-
Jun 16, 2018Very good comeback album from a hip-hop legend. Kanye's production and contributions are on point. Nas' verses are good. Favorite tracks: Everything, Cops Shot the Kid, Adam and Eve, Bonjour.

Jun 21, 2018This is great album. Production, rapping, and storytelling. One thing I dislike this album is that it has only 7 tracks. We were waiting almost 6 years, tracks weren't enough for me and people who like Nas. Anyway, welcome back God's son. Again, it is great album

-
Aug 3, 2018A prevailing quantity of the tracks is either forgettable or regrettable. Nas often sounds unenthused.
-
The WireJul 26, 2018Nasir comes closest to being an unqualified success. Those still hoping for the return of ruthless adolescent Nasty Nas will be disappointed--although recent allegations of spousal abuse from ex-wife Kelis cast a troubling shadow--but his voice is thick with middle-aged grit and gravitas. [Aug 2018, p.63]
-
MojoJul 23, 2018A major step up, until Nas fluffs the rhyme ball spouting credulity-testing conspiracies. [Sep 2018, p.96]
