Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[JoelB]

Should nas just ride it out with Hit boy here on out. I mean obviously they have to get us Kd3 down the line but what after that? Does he just ride out into the sunset with a couple features here and there.

It’s getting to the point where it would look awkward if he does an album without hit.

shiiiit...people initially thought it was awkward for him to work with Hit at the beginning lol.

If i was him, I'd complete the classic trilogy. Fall back for a year or two, and mess with some new producers...experiment with different sounds.

He's clearly not doing this for the bread lol. Shock the world again with a different sound/producer.

KD2 is wayyyyyyy better than KD1

I still love KD1. I want to sit with this a little longer before I say that. But its def trending in that direction. This album is just so damn good.

All this shyt how Hit Boy elevated nas… how Nas should never work with anyone else is low key disrespectful. If anything it’s the other way around.

Trust me there's zero disrespect involved here, because this relationship did A LOT for Hit Boy as well.

With the album doing so well on Spotify (the MOTHER of all streaming services) i’m even more optimistic that my best case scenario of 65K is within reason.

So u thinking better than the first? Ok. I hope it’s number 1 but I’m not too sure how possible that is.

I disagree. They elevate each other.

Working with Nas has given Hit-Boy many opportunities. Not sure if the Benny album happens without KD1

At the same time Hit-Boy has made Nas sound better than he's sounded in years. You can see the difference clear as day between Kanye as a producer for Nas vs. Hit-Boy.

Definitely better than the first. To go from 47K to 65k would be a HUGE accomplishment.


Debuting at number 1 is probably out as Billie Elish is currently a sales monster but top 3 is definitely within reason

yeah but that’s sort of my point. No one else is in here saying nas elevated hit boy. It’s obvs chemistry there. Just trying to balance the slander.

I'd say make a KD3, then let it breathe, have him involved or atleast use beats from him in all future Nas projects even if it isn't majority produced by him. Kind of like RZA on Sipreme Clientele.

If he does do another producer collab it should be with someone who has a completely different sound than Hit-Boy, that would be a great artistic challenge for him. Somebody like Cardo would lace Nas.

I gotta roll back what I said
About Ems verse. It was ok until the end.

Eh, I don't see it as slander at all. The fact that he's even being mentioned is evidence enough that Nas elevated him, it doesn't need to be said. No one would pay Hit-Boy any mind if this was Hit-Boy & Logic dropping a joint album.
