No it is not. ALC, Madlib, Apollo Brown, Roc Maricano, 9th Wonder, and so on didn't stop doing "Boom Bap" type beats. They all recently released projects in the past year or late 2017. Even the unreleased joint form Freddie Gibbs is nuts.

I agree. I really hope we get an instrumental album.I really don't mean to come off as a hater, but I've never been a nas fan, I really wish I can get these raw CDQ instrumentals. Some of these productions are completely wasted on his boring vanilla flow. But on the topic of these beats. Like WOW kanye is going off. Holy shit. He's found such perfect style imo. Simple Things has my favorite beat, and Cops Shot the Kid is fucking crazy, instrumentals when??

I know I'm responding late. This isn't a new thing from Maga. Kanye has been doing this since he started and it's continually gotten worse. Everyone one of his albums have last minute changes drastic changes to track lists. Scrapping entire albums. Losing songs. Taking tracks from years ago and changing them completely. It's a staple of his process at this point. Even remembering back people were complaining about MBDTF mastering and mixing. Some Good Friday songs didn't come out until days later and some weren't even really mastered. This aint new by any means.I see a lot of blame going to Mike Dean for the bad mixing, but surely Kanye is the one with final approval? There's some blatantly amateurish mixing here, and I suspect that most of them are due to Kanye making last second decisions, in line with his current life philosophy of being spontaneous. Meanwhile, the highlights of this album production-wise sound like they were meticulously worked on. The chorus for Everything is fucking gorgeous.
I feel like I'm seeing a pattern with all of these summer Kanye-produced albums: all the good parts were made prior to Kanye going full MAGA "free-thinker", and all the bad parts were made after.
I really liked the reaction from Life of Pablo, but mostly because it was such a shit show.White Label in general is just fuego
Someone said it eariler but I too really enjoyed these last 4 weeks of kanye production. Loved experiencing the wild reactions to everything here, Beef with blackface Keithsweat, ranking Kanye albums and realizing yeezus is trash, terrible rollout of albums thanks to Mike Dean, listening parties, etc
This community is hilarious when it comes to any kanye related album release
Right?! I liked Daytona a lot but there were a few songs I skip over and on an album that's 7 tracks long, that's not so good. But every song on NASIR is great - even the weakest song (Not for Radio) is still pretty good. I also hated KSG, but idk people seem to like that.
Bonjour was my favorite song on the album lol.Solid album but doesn't feel like a Nas album in many ways. I figured Kanye would preview Nas' best moments. Storytelling, hard drums, dark moody production plus some fly Escobar shit, some scratching, etc. This sounds like...a Kanye album featuring Nas. That said, the highs are high. Adam & Eve is amazing. Simple Things is beautiful. Puff complaints aside, that first verse on Not For Radio is great. Bad mixing aside, White Label is fire.
Bonjour is ehh. Everything...I like the first and last verse, and the flows but the track is a chore. Singing is mixed. Honestly the singing is mixed throughout the album. Flow wise this reminds me a lot of 4:44 in terms of there being clear lapses, and in other areas it sounds close to like what you'd expect from a great rapper.
It's early but I don't think this is better than Life Is Good.
Teyana Taylor nextCop shot the Kid and Adam and Eve are the best tracks, Ye blessed us this summer.
Is this it or will there be another Friday album?
Dude you're so close. But Stillmatic is better than Life is good.Illmatic

From around the time Nas Album Done (the song) was released. Interview with DJ Khaled. As mentioned before, Nas was recording another album, A&R'd be Kyambo "Hip Hop" Joshua, who is a former mentor/manager of Kanye's and used to pick Jay-Z's beats. For whatever reason, he decided to release an entirely different album with Kanye instead. No word on whether the other album was scrapped, put in the vault, etc. I'm hoping it comes out in the next year or two, now that Nas has switched labels; Nasir is his last Def Jam record, and from here on out he has his own label on Mass Appeal (with UMG distribution).
nm I reacted based on the screen cap, which is from the Khaled interview. That song is from the scrapped I Am double disc. Hardest Thing To Do Is Stay Alive. Kanye didn't produce it.
