Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[HHID]

They got another track releasing today don't they

Yup! That's how i found about this collab

What does this even mean? And what makes it different than other albums he’s released?

Bro TLT is the greatest non greatest hits compilation album of all time in my opinion, and I don't think it's close. It's just that it's just that, a lot of unreleased songs that got left off. I also said that it'd be third or fourth if I included it.

Listened to KD and KD2 back to back such a wonderful listen.... nukka said wonderful

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

For real, for real, like can you imagine Nas on a Migos beat? or Lil Uzi on a Preemo beat?

Nas on a Metro beat

21 Savage on a Havoc beat

I hear you. It just feels so cohesive and well put together as a collection of songs that it feels trivial to try to distinguish from other projects he has released.

And I'm glad to see that Untitled has more of a cult following now. Myke from Dead End Hip Hop always mentions it as one of his favorite Nas albums, because you get to see all these different sides to Nas. And I agree. The songs on Untitled have this uniqueness to them in terms of sound. You can tell it was made in 2007/2008, but it doesn't sound dated at all and it was an album that was ahead of its time when you realize where hip hop was when it came out.

Untitled is one of my top Nas albums.

I know it won’t happen but that albums also deserves a Deluxe Edition with the extra tracks that he recorded at that time. It was definitely ahead of its time especially compared to what else was releasing during the same period.

Like he said on KD2

“Now y'all woke, I'm laughin' at nikkas
Y'all used to say Nas talkin' that anti-establishment business”

There was definitely thought out into making it cohesive. It’s not a random collection by any means. There were a lot of other songs from the same period that could have been included but they wouldn’t have matched the vibe. It was sequenced like an album, not like a compilation. I just wish Fetus was included not just a bonus

Agree with all of that. I wish they could’ve cleared the OG sample for Fetus.

Officially in my Top 5 favorite Nas albums

1. Stillmatic
2. IWW
3. Illmatic
4. I AM
5. KD2.

Salute to you for being a Stillmatic guy like myself, lol. I still got it at Number 2 tho, Illmatic is too f'n monumental and amazing to being anything lower than #1.

And I just don't get the "I AM" thing...it's a solid album but I was never crazy about that joint. The "I AM" that should have been released is a whole nother thing tho.


1. Illmatic
2. Stillmatic
3. IWW
4a. KD2
4b. LT1
5. KD1
6. LIG
7. GS
8. Untitled

Yeah I never got I AM either. I honestly think Nastradamus is a lot more listenable than I Am.
