It's a lyric in a song, can't assume he was being literal.
Plug chick on StationHead just gave a HEAVY hint that something else is coming this year.
Also she said a video has already been shot for Magic 2

They gotta let shyt breathe because this is the first instance of audience fatigue mild backlash. Id be curious to see what the feeling is in the camp
How are most of the comments even from Nas stans downplaying the beats on Magic 2? Do ya'll really feel the production on the first Magic album was better?
The beats on that first album weren't nothing special at all....beats like 40-16 Building and Hollywood Gangata are the weak kind of beats that people would clown Nas over for years. That album had like three stand out beats.
I fukk with most of Magic 2's production and like how Hit-Boy is incorporating more 808s because his other style of drums are garbage.

I don’t see audience fatigue anywhere else except the Coli. And The Coli is perpetually stuck in the 90’s where Pete Rock is still moving the needle and a DJ Premier beat is the litmus test for album quality.
All reviews so far have been positive and are impressed by the consistency of the run. Reactions on YouTube are glowing. Twitter was going CRAZY the night of release.
This is not fair breh, the coli still loved KD2 and KD3, which sounds far more modern than Magic 2. The album is doing 15k first week so it’s not exactly moving the needle itself, it’s selling around the same as a Freddie Gibbs release.
90’s nikkas are obviously the guys supporting Nas the most otherwise he would be doing better numbers.
15K isn’t the real sales projections. The tweet said they weren’t taking iTunes and Amazon into account (Pure Sales) because they didn’t have the data so we still need to wait for official projections like Hits Daily to see.
And we got a whole thread with people arguing if Pete Rock is right for liking a tweet that says Nas hasn’t picked great beats since 94. If THAT ain’t stuck in the 90’s behavior I don’t what is. shyt like that should be a good laugh not a real debate

We all know producers don’t just hand Nas a dope beat…? What does this mean historically. People have handed Nas dope beats for decades. Whether he chose them or not is another subject.

Listen to "Book Of Rhymes" where Nas talks about making records on the spot. Read the interview with Salaam Remi where he talks about Nas's recording process and how he's turned down some crazy beats from producers. I remember a Source interview from 2004 where Nas was listening to an Alchemist beat cd in his truck. I was hype thinking at least one Alc track would make Street's Disciple and there wasn't one.
