I was watching One on One just now and it was the episode where Max Julien guest starred. He said his name was Goldie and I started thinking about Nas' verse on "Full Circle" because of that so I did research. I didn't know Goldie was a real movie character. :ohhh: I never saw The Mack so I always thought Nas' verse was just him creating some fictional character for the sake of it. That just makes Nas' verse more meaningful. :wow:

ABC.net puts Kings Disease at number 24 on their top 50 albums of 2020


24. Nas – King's Disease
If you took the word of former nemesis Jay-Z, Naswas sitting on a "one-hot-album-every-10-year average" around the turn of century. Nearly two decades on, Nas' stats are way up, and King's Disease further course corrects his uneven output.

Nas makes a deft move in tasking Hit-Boy with production instead of a team of ring-ins. The LA-based producer brings a sonic consistency that anchors the project, his neat sample flips, piano runs and laidback beats creating ample space for Nas' vivid wordplay.

The HD vision of Nas' street narratives has always been his sharpest asset, and his storytelling on King's Disease remains crystal clear. And with an all-star cast that includes Anderson .Paak, ASAP Ferg and the reunited supergroup, The Firm, King's Disease extends Nas' reign to 27 Summers. – Sam Wicks
