Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Slim Charles]

the stans are out. Mutah (Napoleon) replied ‘that day was epic. You and Pac showed us youngsters that it can be done. Done with respect and honour’

some Pac Stan replying to Mutah saying Nas dissed Pac after he died with the Pirelli line and all sorts of BS

We been doin’ gangsta sh*t for a long time
Look inside my mind, see a gold mine
I’m my own co-sign
She textin’ the old line
You keep staring at the glow b*tch don’t go blind
Braveheart energy f*ck all the enemies
Rare is Tha Joint

You? The last time I had such visceral disgust was when I heard Eminem’s verse.

I couldn't even read the review, just the parts posted. These people have no right reviewing something they don't understand. That nitpicking of individual lines, deliberately getting information wrong (if they're not fukking stupid), that modern-day sarcasm that seeps its way into every critique ("In one line, Nas says blah blah blah. Could the line be more historically false?").

fukk Pitchfork. All we need is Rolling Stone and Max from Hip Hop Isn't Dead to complete the bullshyt trifecta.

Hipsters still on that fake ass "ironic" sarcasm bullshyt? I didn't know they were still stuck in 2011

That new AZ snippet

A couple of clueless dudes in here talking about Nas finances like they're in the know. What exactly do you know about Nas finances and how close he was to bankruptcy from the outside looking in.

Kelis herself said Nas bolted n left her the house in Atlanta. N stopped making the payments.
Sounds like a dude that knew he was headed for divorce n didn't want to help a chick maintain her lifestyle. (she was pregnant. It's grimy but whatever)

Dude paid off his irs debt with 3 million in cash.
Google is your friend

Furthermore, tmz listed his assets from kelis atty filing. Which surprised the hip hop community Nas was up like that.

I don't know why we gotta make shyt up when the facts are at your fingertips


It takes money to make money

From what he explain. He came back to the crib and all that was there was the wedding dress. So she obviously the one who dipped according to his words. That crib he stopped paying on no one was living there. What he DID do was give her a bunch of gift cards worth thousands of dollars to baby stores so she can only get shyt for the baby before the baby was born because she was tryna get crazy bread from him before the baby we even born. She said it was for the baby but when he did that she got pissed. Lol

Did all those songs get released/leaked? I know a bunch of them off top but some I’m not sure of

Yeah bro the whole album was leaked you can find it just goggle I AM bootleg.

Yo bro have you listened to King Disease 2, I know you got a keen ear to production like sit listen to what's everything going on, if not give a run because I want your opinion on something. And Hit-Boy is great at combining vintage hip hop and putting a modern twist on I'm about to get deeper

But after Hit Boy said he studied Johnny J for Death Row East, now when you study something that mean you was listening to his music with Pac alot of All Eyez on Me and when you listen to All Eyez On Me and you try to get that vibe from that era for Death Row East you going to listen to Makaveli

Case in Point the only thing from Johnny J was the base line that beat for Death Row East was a 7 Day Theory beat, So as I'm listening to the whole album from a production stand point and know how hit boy is and when you studying something it unconsciously seep in your production

So listening to beats on the whole album, I heard 7 Day Theory style production through out the album on a handful songs I'm talking about instruments and that style of Production on the album, it's in there If you know the style and production style you can hear I was like word? So I was like let me go to Twitter I know I'm the not only and sure enough a few people caught it and said you can hear 7 Day Theory and West Coast style production on some songs but you have to have a keen ear to hear it and some songs you can hear songs that sound like it can be a movie theatrical score during the movie like Boyz N The Hood and menace 2 society

So I'm not going to tell you what songs they are I want you dig in on your DJ QUIK production ear and listen to the album revisit 7 Day Theory and listen to King Disease 2 and get back at me. I tripped out and when other people caught it, I was like I knew I wasn't the only one to hear this when I went to Twitter there was people that caught it. After I was like Nas and Hit Boy unintentionally which is very discreet made a West Coast Gangsta Rap Album

Get back at me when you catch them

 

[Budda]

Lol dude does look moist

It’s a good album even though I wouldn’t have it as only a 6.1 out of 10 he has some valid critiques on these boasting legacy albums and Nas lyrically isn’t as sharp as he used to be.

I’m tired of that Nas/Pac story

legacy boasting what does that mean?

And yeah who is as sharp as 94-96 Nas in the history of rap, that’s a lazy lazy critique.

It really depends on the setting. Completly different songs. Both dope in their own way.
