I think they should chill on the follow up. Too soon especially if it don’t add up to a kings disease. Too much pressure.
I think firm album, this secret album he had planned with Dre or whoever (jay-z I heard a rumor), lost tapes, then follow up and let the king retire.

Retire why?
Retirement should be a feeling thing, not a traditionalist, "I should retire because I'm this age/been doing it this long" thing. That's why so many musicians come out of their "retirements". If he still feels like he got some shyt to say that's hot or beneficial over some beats that move him then aint no reason at all to hang it up. Retire when the feeling/love to do it subsides.
I think it will be Hit Boi next before anything else. Sooner than later too just because you need to strike while the iron is hot. Look at God Son, which came out a year after Nas put out Stillmatic. Nas been putting out something each of the last 3 years anyways, why not come back hard with Hit Boi?
The world feels right.
Pressure
If they made a GREAT album once they can certainly do it again. At this point I highly doubt Nas and Hit Boy would even team up again if they didn’t KNOW they could outdo King’s Disease
Having said that, Nas rarely goes to the same well twice for musical inspiration. So a double up with Hit Boy probably isn’t in the immediate works

so you don’t think nas, the way he is, would feel any pressure at all to go into a second Album to be on the level of the first one? He didn’t want to even make a stillmatic album for those reasons.

I’d imagine every artist feels some type of pressure in the studio to make something good but I don’t think there would be any additional or extra pressure for Nas following up KD. He’s followed up great albums before, he knows what to do. LeBron might feel some jitters early in a playoff game but after a couple minutes he’s good because he’s been there before. Same with Nas or anyone else who has done his/her thing on a high musical level right?

The same man who follows up Illmatic with It Was Written and Stillmatic with Gods Son is quaking in his boots at the thought of following up Kings Disease

I'd definitely welcome another album with Hit-Boy. If not completely produced by, then majority produced by him. It Was Written was majority produced by Trackmasters and that turned out amazing.
I would prefer he not do a Dre produced project. Maybe Justice League.
Or even do a Jazz/Live Instrumentation album with Robert Glasper

I’m betting on a follow up with the Nas and Hit. Hit last official release, post KD, was with Hit Boi. I have to believe they running it back. While I would much rather have No ID do another Nas project, Nas ought to ride this wave. KD will be considered a Nas classic because it won a Grammy. How do you not run it back? What ever secret project he was working on will either be re-worked or pushed back. Lost Tapes 3 pushed back and Nas is Done stuff will remain lost or end up on a Lost Tapes project.
