After 1 listen, i was this album is good. After the 4th listen, this is a Classic Album. Aint NOBODY F'ING with NAS. He does it for the Love of Hip Hop. I think he will take a break, but if he drops another album before the end of the year/ Top of the year, I will be here for it. Congratulations Nas/HitBoy. Congratulations Mike and Coop

[@lorenzoburton3974]

I agree 100. By the 5th listen I felt Classic!! I’m big on mixing and mastering. It hit on everything. The car, cheap earphones, house speakers 🔊 🔊. Nobody is close to Nas regarding full albums. Lil Wayne didn’t let me down either.

Also, I agree with Coop that "Slow it Down" and "Store Run" are stand outs but damn, can I get some love for "The Cure" or the "The Truth"?? !!

When the beat changes on "The Cure" that was one of the best verses on the whole series. The "Truth" was so rugged and raw, one of the best off Magic.

Your very 1st sentence, "Imagine if Jay Z had a dropped 6 classic albums back to back." I often imagine that, and to be real, in my opinion, Jay just makes better songs than Nas. I know ppl are going to say "Hits mean nothing today." But I disagree. I'm for certain, if Jay dropped 6 classic albums back to back, that would mean there's hits on those albums. Nas had good songs, but no hits at all. And let's not act like Nas doesn't make hits, but as of recently, he hasn't. Unless we Nas fans call it a hit.

[@100timessquare]

​@NICKEYBLACK35 - You actually said "HITS" when talking about a legacy artist who put out 6 albums in 3 years at 47/50 years old. You think Nas is thinking about Hits at this stage in his career? He already has the hit records, hes making music for the love, and for the respect for the art form. I remember a time when fans only cared about if the music was QUALITY/FIRE or not. NOT what the mainstream deemed a "hit". I never in life stood on a corner with REAL hip hop niggaz and somebody said..."yo that Rakim album is dope but there's no hits on it". That person would never be able to come out on the block again. So here's my advice to you....DONT COME OUT ON THE BLOCK AGAIN! You sound completely tone deaf and oblivious to what this is actually about. This is about art, not about what people are dancing to on tic toc! Get your mind right!!!

One thing I've been blessed with is my age because I sat in line for Illmatic in 94 and now thirty years later to hear him still at this level and getting the same Goosebumps I did that is beyond beautiful. I said in 94 he would go down as the greatest and I never once wavered from that. His discography from 2020 alone places him top five of all Time by itself. I wrote down the solo discography of anyone who could possibly be in the conversation and it's not even a conversation. 8 releases since 2012 and the only project anyone can even slightly criticize is Nasir. And he recorded that in four days LOL. Not a single released since 2020 has sounded anything alike which is absolutely staggering by itself. I listen to every one of the projects today and if someone told me they were from different artist I believe it just based on how different they are

One thing people need to understand is the King's disease series and the Magic series are literally created and sound completely different purposely. That's why he separated them. Prime example is Magic One in King's disease part 2. Songs like ugly and the truth are for the crowd that loved the Raw and gritty Nas sound. Kings disease part two is more geared towards being well-rounded and multi-dimensional. Records like rare and brunch on Sundays would not sound proper on Magic just like ugly and WU for the children wouldn't sound like it belongs on KD 2. It was smart of him to compartmentalize the way he did. Magic 3 is simply spectacular simple and plain. I see so many reactions where they completely misinterpreted or don't understand specific references. People are struggling even following based on true events one. If people would just slow down and listen it's an easy story to follow. I think he fell back from certain storytelling aspects because people simply are struggling following some how

Word. I agree coop is buggin. He also said blue bentley is better then blue benz lol. . Ummm quick question is this nadia the same nadia from queens that use to be on the Nas board in the early 2000s??

[@Amadness]

Wild take, but I think I like Magic 3 better than KD3. Which is crazy to me cause I looove KD3

[@jamaaldavis7907]

Magic 3 betta

[@SD-vf1er]

I feel KD2 is getting a bit underrated. That is the most well-rounded album out of the bunch imo. There are some extreme highs on that album. The Pressure is an underrated opener and sets the table for Death Row East beautifully. Rare, Store Run, Nobody are all great. Nas Is Good is the best closer out of the entire run to me as well. KD2 is the most dynamic out of the 6. I’m not made if people pick other albums as their favorites but it seems like y’all got it 4th with no discussion.

[@jay07261986]

Kd2 a instant classic. It's just no body thought they would continuely improve upon each release after it...n his level lyricism leveled up on magic n kd3...n hitboy leveled up as well on kd3 in particular...i think kd2 is where they found their formula...

[@custardingtoncringleworthy1646]

Nas Is Good was my favourite closer too before i heard 1800Nas&Hit. Still close though

Get light is the better song but Blue Bentley is the harder record! Def agreed with a lot of Coop’s perspectives.

@@stillhere6558 Do you agree with 2Pac's blatant hypocrisy? And I wouldn't necessarily consider womanizing "immoral."

[@SageTrader007]

@@stillhere6558 You're speaking from a strict exoteric religious perspective which is shallow and contradictory. And a man continues to be a man his whole life. Is Nas tapping into a more youthful vibe for the song? Yes. But overall I don't see a major problem with it. It's just natural human animal foolishness. How many wives and concubines did Solomon have?

[@YagirlLia22]

@@stillhere6558 is Nas hurting anyone as a single man?! If he wants to date as many women as he wants he can. In the same song he mentions being a gentleman, women being safe with him, and jumping the broom again, but with that he’s waiting until the dating climate improves because women can be grimy (that’s true. Let’s not act like women don’t be out here playing men). He also was honest when the one girl asked him about who’s shirt is was in the bed and he told her it was the next girl and that he can’t be her lover. So he’s not lying and manipulating women to get what he wants. Blue Bentley is a bop to me! 🤷🏽‍♀️ If that’s just not how you choose to live your life that’s fine. You’re speaking from a religious perspective so its a preference. Nas is single, free, and can live the way he desires. If he’s not disrespecting and hurting anyone I don’t see the problem. I’m a woman and I was like Nas life sounds litty! Lmao 🤣

[@YagirlLia22]

@@stillhere6558 he said that in reference to her own perceived expectations of him and desires, but she is also still in communication with her ex. Hence the Coi Lerey “Players” line. Essentially, she got it confused. Also, Nas has several records showing love and respect to women, and I’m sure he’s teaching his son the same. Again, he’s single/free. He can do what he wants. Just because he doesn’t subscribe to the way you think he’s supposed to live doesn’t make it wrong so I’m not sure how he’s being a hypocrite. He’s not doing anything wrong. Let that man have fun! He can give us a bop! It’s okay! 🙃

[@YagirlLia22]

@@SageTrader007 agreed. And the crazy thing is Nas is not married or in a relationship. So again, I’m confused as to what he’s doing wrong? 🥴

Nas is responding to a diss song that embarassed Nas.. I was in the studio when he made this. I am not apart of his camp. Everyone is the studio wanted Nas to name the rapper, just like the rapper named Nas. Nas was worried about the rapper that dissed him over his kings Disease beat. The standing in the house playing the instrument suppose to be the guy who freestyled and embarassed Nas. He lied on the rapper. I was there. He don't even know the rapper.
