Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[W.I.Z.E.]

Beautiful album on so many levels.

Nas been hanging with younger cats. Studying the game, which ironically he helped create. This translates in this album perfectly. He's organically connected and evolving.

3.5/5

KD1 is better

store run

That Eminem is long gone. I actually give em his props for his past work even if his fans are insufferable and refuse to accept he's been wack for longer than half his career.
This is the exact reason you never hear ice cube getting mentioned with the goats cause of his fall off but these cacs go on about how Eminem is the best ever and every album is better than the last. Fuken racist non hip hop fans.

Another solid album

4 mics

back to back

different vibe to KD2, and it’s still dope

My favourite track is Nobody. I came in the Booth just to say this.

Haven't seen albums review's come in this early on a Nas project less than 24hrs in
We had to wait for ages for LT2 and KD1 reviews..Its all good though since its mostly tens

I just checked Metacritic and it's at a 98

Holy shyt

Just finished listening to this, its OK, I like the first Kings Disease better for now. Maybe the album will grow on me but it's just alright for now.

[u mad son?]

that gospel organ sound

It's amazing.. I been trynna figure out whether it's a sample or he put it together... He defo put it together, that's crazy

 

[Day_Walker]

i don't mind if Eminem wants to do that flow and delivery. i don't like it but it's whatever everyone got their style

what annoys me is his dumb fans who act like because he raps fast and rhymes lot of words it bodies anything else which is stupid and those people don't know what being an MC is

Breh I'm drinking early and made a long as post saying what you explained in much better and simpler terms .
Edit: I'm saying you explained it much better in case this gets misconstrued as me saying i explained it better.
Was just rereading my post and it was confusing to me but that could be my mind state atm

Nas is finally getting reliable production. I hope this relationship continues until he retires. Even though I’ve always thought the “nas picks bad beats” was overblown, I’m not going to act like I had any idea of what to expect on prior albums. I am fully confident that Nas and Hitboy will give us a good body of work every time.

I don’t see how anyone can complain about these beats on these King Disease series.

It’s premature for me to say which is better. I really enjoyed the first one. I need more time with this.
