And to be clear, I'm not even necessarily on the "why don't we have a Nas and Preem album !!" team. Of course I'd love it if it happened, but that's not something I'm fixated on like some people may be.

Was only making the point that OK Damn was underplaying Preem's 2000s work significantly, although to his credit he did amend his point. So we're all on the same page here.

And my lukewarm feelings about Hitboy aside, I do want to say out loud that Nas is SPITTING on this album. All over it. "The Truth" is a standout in that regard (and happens to be Hitboy's best beat on this one IMO).
