Okay so I listened to the whole thing, downloaded about half the songs. I LOVE Villuminati, Land of the Snakes, Rich Niggaz, Crooked Smile, and Born Sinner. And Miss America, of course.
I think he's an incredibly talented lyricist, but a horrible producer. He should let someone else at least produce a couple of the songs on the album, rather than doing them all himself. Too many of the songs' production sound too similar.
Like, take Villuminati for example. The verses go so hard, but the beat is so laid back and... lazy, almost. It just doesn't match up well. And that's why I can't get into every song.
Anyway, all that said, it's a really solid album, and much better than his debut.
Oh, and I think it's badass that he had the balls to say ****** and retard. We're too politically correct nowadays.
The album is good and I liked a few songs on the first listen. Mostly Trouble, She Knows, Forbidden Fruit, Aint That Some %%$#, Crooked Smile and Let Nas Down is my fave. I need to listen more and listen while I'm ... not sober before I get a real feel for the album though.
I used to stan so hard for him but stopped last year, this album was really going to decide if I get rid of him or not. This album is way better than his debut but he need to find someone to produce his records. The rhymes are there but he can't make a song and hook to save his life.I'll still buy it along with Kanye album. Villuminati >>>>>>>>>>> It's my favorite song.

I hate seeing this thread updated because it makes me want to "get" the album even more, but I'm going to hold off until the release. That's an album I want to actually purchase.
My verbal AK slay ******s
And I don't mean no disrespect whenever I say ******, okay ******
Don't be so sensitive
If you want to get ****ed in the ass
That's between you and whoever else's dick it is
Pause, maybe that line was too far
WTF? Who does he think he is?
Too much
Lets see what the rest of the album sounds like.. not very impressed so far.
