Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

You sound retarded. How was I supposed to know who produced it. All he did was post a picture that said the album title

you can't be THIS slow

First album is a collaborative effort with ONE producer. This is version 2 of that...

But I Sound retarded? .

No single so it might be the first time we're going blind into a Nas album. (If we exclude NASIR which had a special rollout due to Kanye)

Where did it say “collaborative album with Hit-Boy coming August 6th”?
Benny The Butcher dropped Plugs I Met 2 with Harry Fraud after using entirely different producers on the first one

Replaying King's Disease. Car #85 is a fukkin classic joint. Just perfect

shyt is like a damn time machine. Just flawless.

The last one was a great album, hopefully this one will live up to its name.

Illmatic - Stillmatic

The unofficial sequel

ILLmatic ---- STILLmatic (Well if you flip the "S" backwards, it's a 2) (7 Years apart)

The Lost Tapes ------ The Lost Tapes II (17 Years apart)

King's Disease ------ King's Disease II (1 Year apart)


So I guess you would call this his 3rd Sequel but very first Direct Sequel. Also this the most Back to Back NaS projects since 99-02 when he dropped 7 straight projects (I am, Nastradamus, QB's Finest, STILLmatic, ILLmatic to STILLmatic: The Remixes, God's Son and The Lost Tapes) It's clear he enjoyed his time working with Hit-Boy on the album and they kept working. Both "EPMD" and "Life is like a Dice Game" came after. Now the DMX records and the DJ Khalid record with Jay....he did work with different producers (Though "Bath Salts" was old). Again I understand NaS always evolves so I don't expect the same type album even though it's a sequel. Just like "STILLmatic" and "Lost Tapes II" were much different than their predecessors though they had similarities (NaS bringing back some ILLmatic Producers and AZ and having no Rap Features on The Lost Tapes sequel). But a Sequel is always suppose to up the ante. Also for the record NaS used the roman numerals "II" for The Lost Tapes sequel on the cover. Anyways, I actually Hope NaS goes in subject matter wise this time even more about the craziness going on in the world.

Thought I’d see what the talk was on Reddit. The Hip Hop Head Reddit sub is bizarre. Pretty sure it’s bunch of white guys who got into hip hop same time Pitchfork did

Nearly every comment is about how Nas is anti vax. Nas has some questionable opinions but it’s not like he’s rapping about anti vaccines every song. I can think of maybe 1 or 2 bars and one of those was What Goes Around 20+ years ago. Such a strange issue to have with Nas

again goes back to how people overly criticise Nas. Gibbs is anti vax and loads of rappers are but doesn’t define them

Stay OFF REDDIT. As insane and ignorant as the Coli is, Reddit is truly retarded

New esco coming...

And when it's completely unexpected it's even more

Kings disease STILL in rotation

We still got a week. Hit Boy posted some pics on Instagram that HEAVILY implied that they either already shot a video or are in the process of doing so…




EPMD would have made a excellent first single and the video was dope as fukk.

Illmatic - Stillmatic

The unofficial sequel

Lost Tapes 1 & 2...

 

[The Dust King]

Are they remaking old joints in this album?

not the whole thing but this will be the 3rd album in a row where nas has some old songs redone by hitboy

i appreciate him not hoarding as much in the creative process and partly the reason is so nas can own these records

dice game is light work tho, hitboy is now a legend if he wasnt before

interesting.. Is this verses that haven't been heard and have been in the vaults that are being redone or songs that we've already heard that have leaked/ on mixtapes that are being redone like Life Is Like A Dice Game. The former is very exciting but not sure how excited I am with the latter. Those sort of ones should be on a Lost Tapes type album rather than a proper studio album or just released randomly like Dice Game

Any word on which older joints are being redone @The Dust King ? Seems like Sinatra in the Sands might be on there and another joint with Charlie Wilson based on his reaction

I think Nas is in a good place right now. Stress is low, money is high. He’s got time to just chill and create freely.

i do like the Nas back to the wall under pressure though. That Nas puts out absolute classics. But this is cool too.
