Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Stick Up Kid]

This album so good, that even a majority of the usual haters are quiet.

@Lil Bape the PostGod @staticshock @Gator Reloaded @Cladyclad @CrimsonTider have all ignored this thread.. pussies

Those may be technically better albums but I admire the musical experimentation of Nasir, plus the KD albums are fresh, so it’s going to take a little time moving on my list.
As far as HHID some of the songs are corny, plus the whole hip hop was dead gimmick was hypocritical

Me too, I thought it was a dope ass album

 

[CHICAGO]

This seems to be a classic example of two different artists who had different goals in mind with their joint project, and while Nas emerges unscathed, Hit-Boy comes across as inadvertently uncooperative, a producer who follows his own whims to the detriment of his work.

who is this nikka?

Respect your opinion bro but damn dawg...

Even if we talkin just from a production standpoint how is any of the shyt on Nasir better than KD1/2 and even HHID?

There was still plenty of listenable classic Nas songs on HHID

Nasir sounded unfinished and uninspired.

The best track on Nasir doesn't beat the lows on any of those albums imo.

No. There were certain tracks he liked (the first three, "Nobody"), and he actually gave Nas some legitimate praise for his pen game still being sharp after thirty years, but he didn't think the album was that good. For the most part, he had a problem with Hit Boy's production (he hated "Store Run" and he wasn't into "Rare" or "No Phony Love"), and he felt like the album was only made because of how successful the first one was. He hated Eminem’s verse, but I expected that. He hated "Brunch on Sundays," thought it was the worst song on the album. Most of the other songs, he didn't have a strong reaction to. But he did say the album didn't deserve to be on year-end lists just because of Nas' performance.

He also hasn't heard King's Disease since he reviewed it, just that one time and that was it. He thinks that Hit Boy's production might have been a fluke the first time, but he has to listen to it again.

Edit: Nevermind I'm not even drawing any attention to that goofy shyt

 

[DaRock]

Throw on some fresh clothes, pre game with ladies for brunch and have the champagne flowing I guarantee that brunch on Sunday will come back into favor.

Bro, not hating on some dudes but I'm blessed and actually kick it with my people for brunch, some dudes may bring a new chick and new friend, one may bring they kid this time..we will get the 12-15 seat table at the back, laughing/having conversations, etc..

I'm like this dude is really explaining a beautiful Sunday breaking bread and enjoying life and people can't enjoy this

What a horrible take. Lol. Glad I didn’t watch it.
