Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[MoneyBags]

One thing about nikkas when they are wrong they will die on that sword Instead of man up and be like yeah my bad you was right and keep it moving. Dude just said I Am wasn't bootlegged

Nas put to work on a double album that merged the styles of his first two albums and detailed entire aspects of his life. Although he was able to use most songs, other songs that would have made I Am… a double album leaked onto the internet in MP3 format, forcing him to record new material for two separate single-disc releases (hence, the release of Nastradamus in the same year).

Here's the version That The Source had and review and gave it 4.5 mics

• Now this 4.5 mic Album from Nas got bootlegged The Source had to go listen to the 2nd version and change their review and in the new review of the 2nd version they was highly critical of I AM they went in hard didn't like number of tracks and that review was not a 4.5 mic review, but the Mic ratings was still the same. They either kept the same mic rating's and gave NAS another Illmatic pass or they forgot. Because by their review it wasn't a 4.5 mic Album

That track list is wrong cuz according to the Source review, Money Is My bytch is missing.

Nas "I Am" got 4.5 Mic when it came out. WHY DOES THE COLI&the internet HATE IT?!.

Both are dope. I LOVE Ultra Black. Im just saying there's a big difference in reception.

Yea I see what you are saying. Most people lead towards the harder track. I've had to play rare over 50 times

 

[H.S.]

Watch this story by on Instagram before it disappears.

Benny bumping "Rare".

I swear the only time I wish I had social media accounts is when Nas drops. lol I can never see shyt like this that y'all be posting.

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

Appreciate the info bro. I’ll look into that bootleg this weekend.

But regarding that KD2, I’ll be honest I haven’t listened to it all that much. So my opinion on it doesn’t hold that much weight right now and although some of my posts in here probably seem like I’m hating on Nas that wasn’t my intention. I just couldn’t vibe to it when working out.

I see EVERYONE calling it a classic tho and wish I was getting that feeling from it

I saw that Johnny J tweet from Hit-boy and it caught my attention. After I give KD2 a proper play I will post back

Dunno. All the tracks they mentioned are on the retail version that came out. If they had heard a double album surely they would have mentioned the other tracks right.

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

This is why folks need to stop taking sides in people's marriage squabbles. Only the couple knows what actually transpired. N they're only going to give the public their jaded perspectives.
I mean look how different their stories/recollections are.

Individuals/media taking sides in a private affair is just silly

Now if you can back up your story with evidence or in a courtroom....that's different

Most of what Nas was saying was backed up in court tho. That's why Kelis was mad when she lost in court for violating his parental rights habitually. That's when she tried to put out that BS rumor. But then her own nanny took Nas' side and said that his version of the events was true. To add insult to injury. After he did that rant on IG. They asked Carmen what she thought about it. Carmen said he held stuff back because he could've revealed more. Nas' daughter was in the comment section cosigning him. Jungle. All kinda shyt. Then the text messages leaked when she was basically trying to move Knight to Columbia without his permission. And her ignoring him when he was trying to reach out to his son. It basically destroyed all of her credibility. Mix that with the shyt I know about shorty personally that hasn't been put out in the public. Shorty somethin else bruh. lol

From what I remember the bootlegs that were floating around when it dropped had 2 different versions that were around like 12 songs long. All the songs that was on it you can get though. Dr. Knockboot, Money Is My bytch, Blaze a 50, Fetus, Poppa Was a Playa, Hardest Thing To Do Is Stay Alive were some of the songs I remember were on it. I think Find Ya Wealth and We Will Survive was on it too.
