Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[thekidfromqueens]

No it was never officially released. It leaked a few weeks after the album dropped

Hearing this version for the first time in years and I can recite most words of hope. This, "honey moon is over freestyle" - the whole Nasdaq DowJones era nas - such a good time in my life.

Yo there was a dope version of "Hope" on the internet when I first got put onto the internet like 10 years ago and I never could find it since then. The chick is saying "Live hip hop live. Stay hip hop stay" or something like that...anybody know this shyt? Please post it, that was the best version to me. I scoured youtube searching for this shyt and could never find it.

It’s so interesting to watch the cycle of Nas’s catalogue...The hate he gets after he drops a polarizing project some don’t like then the lovefest after he follows it up with a critically acclaimed project. He proves himself all over again even though he’s already cemented in Hip-Hop history.

“Falls off” with The Firm...resurges with I AM
“Falls off” with Nastradamus...resurges with Stillmatic
“Falls off” with Untitled...resurges with Life Is Good
“Falls off” with Nasir...resurges King’s Disease

Untitled was pretty acclaimed when it came out. NOBODY was suggesting he had fallen off with that album

The album was great, especially to a core Nas fan like myself, but I remember a good number of people complaining about beat selection, the content being too heavy, etc. “Fall-off” was for lack of better term but it wasn’t one of his more beloved projects at the time of release.

It actually ended being on Lost Tapes 2 lol.


Royalty was the song


The OG had a different beat and a Frank Ocean feature

I'm in the minority where i think that Kanye production on NASIR was actually pretty dope for the most part but Nas wasn't sounding focused & sharp on there...

Not for Radio (1st verse), Adam & Eve & Simple Things are the only things i can fukk with on the album...

I enjoyed that album very much. Sonically interesting, a few bangers, i just wish there were more.

I dont even really like Nas like that, and this is probably the best hip hop album since Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly

Kings Disease is very dope. My question is how do you like hip hop and not like Nas like that. He is like the definition of hip hop.

And he went ahead to fukk that opportunity up!
