NAS Thread - Nas x HitBoy - MAGIC 3 Out Now

[JusaVibe]

Fam, Nas really can't lose. I thought he would hit a peak with Kings Disease but he really is God MC.

This is better than the 1st and the first was damn good

 

[bale]

best 1 so far upon 1st listen

 

[Peep Game]

Lauryn Hill basically said “yea I show up late, so what?”

 

[All_$tar1997]

Store run

Hit Boy saved Nas
That Kanye ish was retirement worthy

 

[rbk93]

Let's not act like Life is Good is a top tier Nas album.

 

[sonoftony]

I actually liked Nasir

 

[Hahahaha]

Nasir is a great EP

Life Is Good a classic

Kings Disease 1 is great

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Still don’t understand the hate for Nasir. I know that was the Kanye hate train time, but still.

KD2

 

[slaughterx]

Lauren Hills came out aiming at folks dome pieces

My favorite male and female rappers on the same track. If I Ruled the World is still my favorite track with them together, but I do love the fact that she actually rapped on this track.

The hate for Nasir is that he’s off beat on some songs. It sounds like someone took his vocals and added them to random beats he didn’t rap to.

I hate Kanye and I liked Nasir a lot and I liked the Teyana EP.

I feel like as NaS has gotten older, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got lazy and was using other people’s rhymes. I got that feeling from Nasir because his flow was so off at times. Lost tapes 2 also gave me that feeling.

Nas has kinda had the off beat thing going since Life Is Good. unsure if he's trying different flows, hearing loss or just building w/others like you suggest but I mean he's been sounding like that at times for a minute.

 

[Peep Game]

NASIR suffered from some shoddy mixing more than anything

 

[slaughterx]

I just didn't like how short it was.

 

[3god]

Lauryn had the best verse on the album. KD had more standout songs on first listen. I feel like KD2 is darker, more gritty, less catchy. There’s pros and cons in comparison to the OG, but I’m leaning KD > KD2. I would have cut about 3-4 songs off KD2 to make it smoother and more enjoyable straight through.

Nasir was only ok, Nas himself admitted it was rushed and they only worked on it the week it was released.

I like it a lot upon one full spin. That Eminem feature is so god awful though. Immediate skip cause of him.

[sonoftony]

Hit-Boy said no lies in that tweet

 

[3god]

Lauryn Hill basically said “yea I show up late, so what?”

I hate people being late but love that line.

 

[Peep Game]

All Em has to do is slow down his damn flow. He always tries to do that technical marvel crap and ends up ruining songs.

 

[jville819]

I've tried for 2 days to convince myself that Em's verse isn't THAT terrible cause outside of that the whole album front to back is . But the first 2/3rds of his verse is pure trash can and that rabbitybabbity **** is not it for this album.


Nas and Hit are something else though

 

[sonoftony]

I ran KD2 more than a dozen times over the weekend. Only track I skip is the one with Eminem
