Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Ziggiy]

Jim been ON FIRE the last 3-4 years or so.

So he went from wack to average?

 

[Ziggiy]

Very thread appropriate, huge props if unintentional

Hope we get the JT & Jay track reworked by Hitboy just so its not a misery with it anymore and always thought the title was dope

Run it back !!!

There’s a RUMOR floating around that thats exactly what we’ll get and that Timbaland and Hit are sharing production credit on the song.


Again just a RUMOR for now.

From vapid to introspective.


Nas put trash ass Fivio on his last record. You can survive a song with Jim Jones

Fivio a young dude. And his verse was dope.




Jim Jones old as fukk and if i’m taking your word for it JUST learned how to rap 3 years ago after being in the game for over 15…


I highly doubt he’ll ever be on a Nas album either way. There’s literally nothing he could bring to the song.

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.

I agree that KD wasn't as lyrical, I still love it because of his messages in it.... but Nas can still drop quality verses, he proved it on Godfather Part IV... and Nas' worst verses are still >>> 90% of the rappers out there

I feel like KD was made to bring Nas back into the mainstream, and if that's the case then: mission accomplished

Now I want him to go off lyrically in KD2... he's still capable of doing that

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I think a Jay Rock/Nas collab would be interesting and dope

 

[Thief's Theme]

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

those 3 songs are maybe my favorites on the album after the title track and Full Circle

but I agree that 27 Summers and the Definition are too short... also wish he had 2 verses on Replace Me

 

[Thief's Theme]

Looks like photos from a music video shoot.

also in comments someone said put EPMD on the album and Hit Boy reply was lightbulb emoji. Hoping that and Life is like a dice game aren’t on it or are just bonus tracks. Would rather just hear only new stuff

shooting a music video in a restaurant you own

Nobody is outside of Hit Boy. Makes me wonder if that second surprise project is dead, whatever it was. Was it Dre? I think so.

I’d imagine Nas will address the people who want Premo type stuff with the next Lost Tapes, now that Sony is back in the mix. That’s where you’ll get those 90s or 00s tracks that sound like what they want.

I think it's either Alchemist or Dre... if it's Dre, it will never come out

but Nas is in LA, he's been working with LA producers like Hit-Boy

I think HB is pushing Nas harder to record and release, than other producers

 

[Ziggiy]

I hope Nas pulls a J.Cole and only releases one single/video early next week and we don’t get a confirmed tracklisting until 12am midnight when we’re all listening together

 

[jadillac]

Probably just leftover tracks from the 1st project. But I hope I'm wrong

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

Probably just leftover tracks from the 1st project. But I hope I'm wrong

Some of the material may have been stuff that was scrapped from the first album, but its possible it was reworked/tweaked for this release. Nas & Hit-Boy are always working on stuff together. The great thing here is that they are in the studio together.....rather than e-mailing the material back and forth like others.

Why are people saying this when we've seen multiple pics and videos of Hit and Nas in the studio since the last album came out? People acting like King's Disease came out 6 months ago or something. This album is coming out a year after the last one basically.

 

[Ziggiy]

They’ve been in the studio consistently literally for a year. I doubt this is the case.

That’s not even how Nas operates lol.
