Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[feelosofer]

I personally think this album is considerably better than the 1st Kings Disease. I would put this album around the level of Untitled or God's Son.

First off KD2 is not a classic. (Great Album tho)

Second AINT NO WAY IN HELL!!!! KD2 is better than Stillmatic.

Son of y'all need to pump ya breaks.

i think you misread my post i didnt say it was better ...in terms of enjoyability ..like i can listen to this anywhere and still vibe to it..gives off that high of life feeling yes...but lyrically hell no...stillmatic was Nas depressed era...

I havent heard “Distant Relatives” in forever…I need to revisit it cuz “Nah Mean” just came on randomly

Its aging like fine wine

no filler on that whole album Damian Marley is a beast

both those albums may have higher highs...

but this album sonically way better than those 2 and no filler tracks.....

One of those reviews said this (cant remember which one) but they said alot of times Nas best work outside of Illmatic came from some sort of drama that he was involved in (east coast west coast beef for IWW…Hov beef/moms passing for Stillmatic/Lost Tapes/God’s Son…divorce for Life Is Good) but this might be the first time a great album was birthed from pure happiness

judging by the numbers…a lot of people ignored it

Dudes just need to admit they don't like Nas new material, All this going back & forth he don't do "Rewind" "What Goes Around" type records is just posting

Son said it feels closer to a 2000’s Jay-Z album… … Yeah, something like My Bible would fit perfectly next to Money, Cash, Hoes.

Roughly 2000 streams of any song or songs of the album equals 1 sale. It's different throughout each platform such as Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Pandora, Tidal, etc considering paywalls but on average its like 2k = 1 sale. 10 separate single song purchases also = 1 sale

I really wonder if artists can prevent certain publications from reviewing their work based on a history of bad faith practices.

You already know the answer to this. I don't know why yall so worked up over one man's opinion. Nas himself probably doesn't give a shyt

wish this made the cut

adding this to my personal playlist
