Nas Is Already ‘Halfway Through’ His Next Album With Hit-Boy

[360dagod]

Considering Al was at the Magic 2 event and there’s couple of joints on here that sound like him plus that hint from the plug a few months back …if it turns out he had a hand in some of this album it’s gonna make this whole argument funny

No it won't..

Being a consultant on something is a different ballgame than actually having 100% authority

Nas and Hitboy album probably done already

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Any 2 artists do full collaborations 5 times over a 3 year span is gonna have diminishing returns.

End this series at KD4 before it turn into some horror movie sequel shyt

If they keep it going I just want some different project names bro. Numbered sequels are the most boring type of names for movies, albums, etc.

Y'all nikkas always late it took you for Magic 2 to realize that Nas + Hit boy Collab ran it's course. It started getting stale on KD3.

Can we talk about the severely low IQ thought process of, "if these other producers were so good, Nas would be working with them! He's working with Hit-Boy so that means Hit-Boy is dope...right? "


or nah?

KD3 was arguably the best album of all the collaborations.

I feel like a lot of people are severely mischaracterizing the place a lot of these critiques are coming from and projecting shyt onto it. It's really just as simple as some folks not all the way fukking with Hit-Boy's production for any number of reasons and spitballing producers they feel would work better. People can shout til the cows come home about how much Hit has inspired Nas and so on and so forth but at the end of the day we're all just giving our reactions to the music we're hearing.

So Nas hasn't been able to find the inspiration to lock down and put out albums until Hit-Boy came into the picture? Cool. Awesome...but what the fukk is wrong with saying you'd want Nas to give other producers a chance, too? Go in with somebody else and see what comes from that? That goes back to what I was saying about some of y'all treating Nas like he's either infallible or feeling the need to defend every artistic choice he makes like you're throwing yourself onto a grenade.

And @Ziggiy, you keep saying people are asserting their opinions as facts? The fukk you want nikkas to do - qualify every single opinion with "IN MY OPINION?" It's a given that when people are saying who they'd rather hear Nas rap on that it's their opinion, they shouldn't have to qualify that for the sake of somebody's feelings - I say that as somebody who used to struggle to recognize that as well. And ironically, the "facts" that you claim you're citing as evidence for why Hit-Boy is the better choice and why folks should keep their opinions to themselves - Metacritic scores, sales (sales that aren't very strong anyway), Grammy awards (honors that we're all quick to disregard when they don't match up with our opinions anyway, I might add) - are in themselves, OPINIONS! Subjective evaluations that themselves may include biases and other influences.

Like the real root of all this is that some folks just don't dig Hit-Boy's production, whether they think it's sterile, poorly mixed, etc. and so they wish they could hear Nas over somebody who they feel meets their standards. And whether that's Alchemist, or Metro Boomin, or some "trapped in the 90s" producer (let's retire that fukking phrase please), or some random nikka they listen to on soundcloud, that's ultimately the place it's coming from.

If your going to come on a Hip Hop MESSAGE BOARD spouting your Opinions and not quantifying them AS such then your opening yourself up for discourse & debate. Thats just common sense. And if you just want to speak your mind in a vacuum you wouldn’t be on here. So if you don’t want to be challenged on what you post, stating in “In My Opinion” is generally how you avoid a challenge on your perspective

I would love to see Nas and DJ Toomp...

My problem isnt't being challenged - the problem is YOU are challenging people with utter bullshyt. You're not engaging with opinions - you're putting words in people's mouth and using that as a greenlight to dismiss them

If someone's not feeling Hit-Boy's production and would rather hear somebody else, you could instead spark a discussion about what they dislike about his beats and why they feel X producer is better and try to see where they're coming from even if you disagree, rather than writing Manifestos of stan babble. We're trying to have a conversation while you're just trying to push the gospel of Nasir Jones.

[spliz]

I wish nikkas would just be honest with themselves rather than all these dissertations. Pete Rock was wrong and a hater. That’s just facts. People aren’t wrong for wanting Nas to work with other producers. That’s facts. People coming in here spitting half truths and flat out lies to support their opinion as a fact. That’s hater tactics. @Cladyclad being in this thread should be proof of that. nikka got the Nas hater bat signal. Lol

I don’t agree with people saying this either. It’s about the chemistry. Not how dope or not dope the producer is. Nas works with HitBoy cause they have chemistry and workflow and developed a bond. Nothing more. Nothing less.
