You said it was fading there and I disagreed, that album is quite strong on the introspection front. And I feel these last two are strong in general.
I’d argue KD2 is essentially Nas returning to that LIG level. Not just lyrically but his flow is elevated here, even over the first album.
You're talking to someone who prolly didn't even listen to KDII

Stop replying nikka prolly didn't even listen to KD2
Compared to who? Jay his only contemporary who sells more, and his music been significantly more commercial than Nas's from 1998 forward. Nobody else from that era is selling more than Nas in 2021 unless Dre actually comes out of retirement

Decision making that didn’t fit where rap was heading or what much of his fanbase wanted to hear at the time. When the south began to take over and Wayne/TI/Jeezy ascended, New York was in a bad spot in general. Whereas most NY rappers tried and failed to ride that southern wave Nas said fukk that and did his own thing. 50 went down and that NY market just imploded (and never recovered IMO). Jay was the only survivor, popularity wise. In large part thanks to Kanye but that’s another convo.
Nas wasn’t making club music, he wasn’t hitting the streets with anthems like he had done from Illmatic thru SD, and rap just moved on. And yet he’s still out here winning Grammys and getting noteworthy features. Seems like he won in the long term, despite the popularity dive,
What do you think it was? If you’re gonna be here you shouldn’t troll. Let’s here your argument, I’m curious.
KD2 is definitely more lyrical and has deeper verses. But I definitely feel like KD has less skippable songs (none for me).
Love both albums
We had Distant Relatives and LIG for most of the 2010's to listen to recent Nas material. Excited to have KD and KD2 (hey hopefully more too) for the 2020s. Definitely a lot of replay value

Nas still got the AOTY after liste ing to clb. Only competition for awards season is going to be Kendrick.
For sure. You Won't See Me Tonight with the big Hype Williams video would've been massive

Nas makes music for me as I’m heading into my 30s soon. No trends, no memes, no pandering. Just pure adult, human lyrics. Clear, reflective & to the point. He isn’t lowering the reading grade for me.
We really have to stop rating hip hop solely in the context of how youth react to it. Hip hop is aging & so are its listeners
