Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[kes929]

We've heard them on songs together twice this year. Someone said this feature will have everyone talking. Kendrick wrote a song for Hit-Boy a few months back and Hit shot the video for it. It's Kendrick, they've been in contact.. Nas got Kendrick back outside. Next Friday will be a wild day.

A nas x Kendrick or nas x drake feature leading up to the release of the album would be

Jay writing album titles on a notepad right now...Lordship's Malady? Monarch's Sickness? Emperor's Ailment?

What's your favorite bars from them songs ?

Everything from sexy to deadly, I done been through that shyt
Still goin' deeper like I grew a new inch on my dikk
We looked at robbin' as a way of resolving our problems
My moms cooked food, but some of my nikkas was starving
And whatever they was down to do, I was with 'em regardless
Turns out I was hungry and was hittin' the hardest
The scissor was sharper, my predictions was on it
No fortune teller, just going off regular signs
nikkas often tell ya they moves
Without a word, just reading they mind
Wasn't needin' no nine
Corner executive born in ghetto hell
Where metal yell especially over necklaces
Life lessons is karma
Whatever you dish out come back as blessings or to haunt ya
Could miss your kids and hit your grandkids for your dishonor
That's generational curses, they said they want the old Nas back
Play the Clue tapes for old verses

i just hope this album has bars....the first one didn't.

And I say this as someone who has Nas #1 and I got to bat for many of his lesser loved albums but that shyt on King Disease wasn't it. And that bullshyt verse on the Hov song wasn't it either.

I'm comfortable enough to admit when Nas is half assing it. I aint' gonna break out the banderas smilies for some subpar shyt just cause it's the GOAT.

Nas was kinda on auto pilot flow wise on King’s Disease

But on All Bad, Full Circle, The Cure, Life Is Like A Dice Game new verse he showed he can still tap into Esco mode

But he felt content with the slow conversational flow for most of KD. Nas is usually better more up tempo

I respect your opinion but that verse isn't doing it for me.

There's something about the way Nas writes now that feels less inspired to me. He ain't painting images in the way he used to. Feels more generic.

I thought Car #85 was the best written song on the last album. I liked the writing on that.

I'm not asking him to

If you can't see the quality of his lyrics have declined since even Life is Good, I don't know what to say

But I get it, he already has had more longevity than any rapper ever. I treat anything else as a bonus after four decades. He can still rap well but when you're the GOAT I just hold you to different standards. It's all good, i'll still listen to this day one.

That's like saying why isnt LeBron doing windmills 20 years into his career....but still overlook the 28 & 12 he's dropping.

My only criticism of King's Disease is that it had three joints about women in a row lol...that and 27 Summers and The Definition are too short

Other than that it's a fantastic album
