Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[QBN]

Nas is good is still the best song on the album to me , shyt make me want to take a trip to Cairo ! The beat , the message , swimming in the Red Sea

I love this fukking album man

Go for it breh! Egypt is part of our history...plus it seems like they got some fine ass women over there It's definitely on my travel list once these covid restrictions dry up. Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones is the Don of this rap ish.

The features (not Ferg/Firm) brought KD down for me, even though Durk was dope when he started flowin at the end of Til The War Is Won

 

[BK The Great]

Replay value still holding up for me. One Of the best albums of the past 2 years along with Part 2.

I thought it was just good at first, but it improves a lot with replays. The chemistry is present, but it feels like they were still getting adjusted to each other.

I wouldn't have thought Hit-Boy would be such a good fit though. Keep in mind, their first track was "Another Black Girl Lost", and the next release was "Royalty". Somewhere alone the line they figured it out.

8/10 to me.

 

[Big Mark]

Nas' work with Hit-Boy separates my Nas playlist. There is now the Nas/Hit-Boy era. It all fits sonically.

 

[prophecypro]

This is still a fire album

 

[King Ming]

The Pressure is a probable the best song Nas dropped in a long time!

Nas bodied this verse

Boss shyt, your Lordship
nikkas talkin' yachts and some more shyt
I used to run the block, now I'm corporate (corporate)
Hoppin' out, you know it's Son when the doors lift
Whole squad hide the burners (whole squad)
Mets hats in the sky like Bobby Shmurda
They watch me like a chip', courtside at The Rucker
Flow only getting tougher, she beggin' me to cuff her
Brooklyn Sweet Chick, waffles with raspberry butter
Wear a mink at the roller rink middle of the summer
If I can't get it done, I got soldiers with me to cover
Queens get the money, we only stackin' it upwards
G's stay icy 'cause shyt get spicy
She on Demon Time, I get her a timepiece
Patek, nikkas not lit, not like me
Can't get nothin' by me, my mind is 2090

 

[TheJet]

Thought we'd have KD3 sometime this summer

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

Maybe October?

 

[SwizzLake]

The cure

The best track from the KD and KD2 series

Nas bodied this verse

[erker]

Maybe October?

Or september 14th, the king's birthday

 

[Figaro]

Nas doesn’t release this while he’s on tour.

Album comes out October but more likely November.

I can remember reading an article that it’s best for independent artists to release in winter due to it being less costly…wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going that route.

 

[Ziggiy]

In honor of the Hit-Boy era lets bring it back to the beginning…

-Debuted at number 5 on Billboard
- Won Nas his first Grammy for Best Rap Album (also making him the oldest rapper ever to win the award)
-Marked the beginning of Nas’s prolific run of 4 albums in 3 years.


Favorite song from the album
