    "Nav is a cross between Eminem and Kendrick Lamar."

    Well I was really planning on listening to the Forever Story for the first time since I’ve been busy. But then he returned. I suddenly canceled all my plans and went dormant for the next 3.5 hours and every single song, was something that was incredible. This album changed my life and view on hip hop. Every song is a banger and it gets better. Kendrick could never. Every that could go right went right. ♾️/10. I still haven’t ate or returned out of my bedroom. My baby daughter is starving right now but she can wait another 2 hours as I listen to this album another 2 times. Truly once in a lifetime

    Comparisons to Eminem and Kendrick are not entirely fair to NAV. As NAV can take any distinctive rapper's flow and elevate it to a formerly unimaginable new whole, while imbuing every song with the light of the transcendent, NAV can only really be said to be the Magnus Carlsen and Bach of rap.
