ALL TOP TIER :unimpressed:

The pressure is vintage Nas

40 side so ill


Top tier to me is no skip and you can add it to a best of Nas comp. The three that I mentioned are sure fire. Nobody is trending in that direction. Pressure is trending upwards. Could be a high tier 2 song. I'm just not big on DRE and 40 side like some other people.

ALBUM IS DOPE

NOT CLASSIC BUT DEF HAS SOME VINTAGE NAS MOMENTS

HITBOY IS A GREAT PRODUCER BUT A LOT OF THE BEATS ARE SONICALLY UNDERWHELMING AND COULD BE MIXED BETTER

STILL TRYNA FIGURE OUT WHO MASTERED THE ALBUM
Just curious, which would be the biggest examples of underwhelming beats mastering wise? Because I felt the opposite for the most part listening in the car and on a decent headphone/source setup.

Nas - King's Disease II | Album Review (thelineofbestfit.com)
Indeed, seemingly sick of all the nitpicking he’s endured for decades now, Nas has crafted an album designated the only would it could be to escape such criticism: an impenetrable one. There’s not an ounce of fat, not a wasted moment, not a single beat that doesn’t suit its purpose to the letter. It’s a monolithic testament to a rapper tired of being treated as both the victor and the underdog at once. It’s undeniably clear just which one he is here. King’s Disease II is a victory lap that nonetheless never lets up its pace.

Given how classic this album do you think Nas team are doing enough promo wise? I wouldn’t know either way but it really is an album that deserves mass attention on the level of Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Good Kid In A Maad City, Aquemini Love and Below and other heralded albums that have transcended rap.

Allow my drunk ass to tell y’all something….I got Nobody on repeat right now and I can’t stop crying….Y’all really don’t understand how happy my Soul is to hear Lauryn again…If it wasn’t for her, my sister would’ve never been here because my mom almost aborted her due to pressure from her dad (we’re all cool with him now btw) until my mom got swayed by my Auntie and Grandma and L-Boogie’s song “Zion” back in 1998, the year my sister was born into this world.

I’m sorry guys, I just love Lauryn so much man….I could never speak ill of this Queen Mother Goddess :mjcry: Nobody already my most favorite song on this album….Carry on family

Black Women are truly GOAT.

Let me give you balance with ClaRity
I don't need to turn myself into a PaRoDy
I don't do this shyt you do for PopulaRiTy
They ClearLy didn't understand when I said I GET OUT ApparRentLy

...from the time LBoogie's reverb voice quietly come thru my 90s Kid eyes got watery:wow::mjcry:
