I LOVE Ghetto Prisoners tho. Beat and everything.
I consider the first “Magic” a timeless personal classic. I sometimes play the other KD’s and Magic’s but Magic 1 is the one I always run back in it’s entirety, often.
No sir lol. I HATE that beat but Nas was spitting that shyt

It's a top 5 Nas album to me
Smh so you mean to tell me they heard car 85, the cure, speechless, thun, reminice, store run, nobody, slow it down, fever, Japanese soul bar and said mannn this is wack haha. I find it very hard to believe they listened without an unbiased ear.
“Thun” had me locked in instantly. It’s a big reason why KD3 is my favorite of the “King’s Disease” series.
“Speechless” had me the same way with Magic 1.

I love that beat bruh. Lol. I can't find what's wrong with it. Has like a haunting feel to me. Like alot of Dame Grease beats.

Same!
LL played a couple of previews on IG, and they were all crazy! Tip is just one of those people that never stops working on music. But he's also incorporating live instrumentation with samples now too, so he's just taking his normal greatness to an even higher level. It's wild.
Hurry up

LL said that album is done. I think they finished that a minute ago. Just need to drop it.
Harry Fraud isn't dope enough to do a whole project with Nas. Neither is Metro Boomin. His sh*t doesn't match what Nas does. I highly doubt he would call Madlib. But if he got back with ALC and did a whole project, I think that would be crazy. They still speak.
But you're right about the fans. Because Nas has two types of fans. He has poser fans who just became fans after "Ether", and he has day one fans who remember when he was working at the highest standard in the game, around '94-'98. So I think as long as he's pairing with dudes who are on his same level, but on the production side, he'll be perfectly fine. But he should definitely do that with a certified legend. Hip Hop has been asking for that since like '95, back when he said he would like to do an album with RZA. That level of legacy is what would be really dope.
That beat is horrible
I bought the cassette after school on the release date. We'd bring The Source to school and talk about hip hop so getting 5 mics was huge. It was a long ass wait from their review to when the album came out. Might have been two months. Not to mention we waited 3 years for Nasty Nas to put an album out. All we had was Live at the BBQ, Halftime, and Back to the Grill so he was damn near an urban legend. We thought he just disappeared and was never coming out with anything else. No mixtapes or social media then.
I remember popping the tape in for the bus ride home and being in awe but overwhelmed by the lyricism. Normally you'd catch everything on the first listen but not Nas. No one was rhyming like that at the time. NY State of Mind especially. That song is still #1 for me. No one was telling stories with that level of detail and the beat
Doggystyle was still spinning and I couldn't even listen to it anymore. Snoop just sounded wack to me. 36 Chambers wasn't even hitting the same. Listen to Rae and Ghost on there and then Cuban Linx in 1995. Nas raised the bar and made them step up to another level.
Production was equally a step up. No one had a line up like that. Albums were only 1 producer at the time.

Thun is classic straight up. Nobody since Remi gave Nas a joint like that
