Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[nahnah]

Great album
Been on repeat since it dropped, only song that i could have done without is Replace Me. I can't complain about that ratio though as I'm normally always skipping tracks on albums
Hit Boy did his thing, the production is great

You are entitled to your opinion but rating Untitled a 2.5 is INSANE

2.5 for untitled is the craziest rating I've seen. That album is very dope. I am is a 4 a for me and lost tapes 2 is atleast a 3.5. Songs 8 through 16 on lost tapes 2 is 5 mica. Only thing I skip is Tanasia, royalty and al jarreau.

Wow. Those album ratings @Piff Perkins posted ESPECIALLY for Untitled is damn near criminal. No the fukk way.

 

[BiggWebb79]

The Infamous is one of them. And Hell On Earth is a 4.5.

What about Murda Muzic?

 

[Pop123]

I'm a hard reviewer, rating wise. Last decade or so people have acted like stuff is either classic or trash, to the point that saying something is "good" or even "great" can be seen as a diss. You see this whenever the big newer rappers like Drake/Kendrick/Cole/etc drop.

My personal Nas rankings...

Illmatic 5
IWW 5
I Am 3.5
Nastradamus 2
Stillmatic 4.5
Lost Tapes 5
God's Son 4
Street's Disciple 2.5
Hip Hop Is Dead 3
Untitled 2.5
Life Is Good 4.5
Nasir 2.5
Lost Tapes 2 3
King's Disease 4

My initial rating was 4, ended up going to 4.5 over the years. I could see the same happening with King's Disease.

I can dig it...tho I like Untitled a little bit more than you, but your ratings align with mine for the most part.

All good ratings except LT1 is a 5 mic classic to me. Literally perfect.

Untitled is atleast a 4. Album is damn near prophetic.

I'm cool with a 4, I originally had it at like a 3, shyt was a snooze fest to me. The joints I loved I reeeally loved (Fried Chicken, You Can't Stop Us Now, Testify, Farrakhan, Sly Fox, QGTM) and the shyt I didn't like I reeeally didn't like.

Over the quarantine I gave that jawn a lot of burn and got way more into it than I originally was, there's still clear misses but not as many as I thought initially, I got it at like a 3.5 now. Dope album.

What were the misses?

 

[spliz]

What were the misses?

That’s what I’m tryna figure out. I don’t like America like that.

 

[HNIC973]

What were the misses?

To me they were
We're not alone
make the world go round
Project roach
replace any of those with Letter to King
U crazy about America Nas slaughtered that shyt

 

[Pop123]

What were the misses?

IMO

Breathe is trash. I respect the creativity of "Project Roach" but I think the song is corny. The shyt with Chris Brown is trash. Hero is ehh, it's so so. We're not alone is aiight, ehh. America is ehh (The original is DOPE tho, with the Bowie sample). I wasn't really crazy about "Black President".

I'm studied like a book by many

White chick like Liz Taylor
