Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[spliz]

same can be said if you compare Lost tapes to IWW or Illmatic

This is a classic album...enough comparing just enjoy as it is...

I’m not dismissing KD2 at all. I’m just saying LT1 is better. Both can be classic but one is a better classic. Lol

Bonus cuts are worth the price of admission alone. LIG is a 4.5 mic album. Fight me.

5 mic classic for me

I still cant figure out my favorite song on KD2. I play the pressure and 40 side every morning at the gym. 40 side is motivating as hell.

After taking a break from the album over the weekend, I hopped back into it yesterday and my new favorite song of the moment from KDII is Composure Over the past two weeks, I’ve been doing some major things that are sowing the seeds for me to finally get into my career field and this song has been so motivational for me (40 Side as well). This song got me feeling myself brehs (pause)

Isn’t this song on kd1

Now all we doing is talking about LIG and demeaning other shyt to prop up KD2


Nas is the only rapper that has to compete with his prior classics EVERY SINGLE TIME he opens his mouth

You dudes are insufferable. There's never dudes screaming like this page after page about previous albums when other greats drop.

Where as Nas shyt goes on for days and days. His stans are just as guilty as his haters.

Time to unsticky this thread.

And since when does an album have to have no skips in order to be a classic?

All Eyez On Me and Ready To Die both have a skip or two

Don't ya'll change the criteria for Nas

Naw

Yup a more modern version. They are all different versions of classics.

I think it’s all subjective but it’s a great album and showed Nas’ growth.

As someone who’s 41 and entering middle age that album makes even more sense and is more relateable now to me.

dope beat

What was it?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

What was it?

it was a unheard/new hitboy beat that he himself was flowing over

Although this album is new, I revisited it last night. I listen to a lot of different genres depending on where my head is at. I preordered this album and listened to it that night and the next day or so. I didn't really touch it too much after that, and not because I didn't like it but because I was more in a Rock kind of mood. What's crazy is, I've been waking up for the past several mornings with a beat that I couldn't get out of my head. I didn't know where it was from. I thought it was something from Adult Swim that I heard one late random midweek night.

For whatever reason I put on KD2 last night while faded, and come to find out it was Count Me In. All this time that song was in my head and I couldn't figure where it was from and NEVER would have thought it was a Nas track. That said, Nas and Hit is a great combination. I really appreciate them for this album. Whomever that cocksucker is at Pitchfork needs a hole in the head, cuz this is easily one of the best Hip Hop albums I've heard in my life.
