Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Mike the Executioner]

Nas's flow is better on KD2 imo. Seemed like he was rushing on some of the songs on LIG. On some songs it worked like Queens Story or Nasty. But 2021 Nas would do more justice to stuff like Reach Out and No Introduction where it felt like he didn't need to be on 10. Nas's flow on Death Row East is sharper to me than most of LIG and closer to how he was effortlessly killing shyt on Godson.

Honestly the pockets Nas is finding on KD2 is one of the best things about it to me.

I kinda see what you mean, like the second verse of "Reach Out" is great but the flow moves so quickly, you might not catch everything he's saying. I don't think it's a problem because Life is Good had Nas take a similar approach with his flow/delivery that he did on Street's Disciple, only not as aggressive and pissed off. He had a lot to talk about since it was his first album in four years and a lot had happened to him during that time.

On King's Disease I and II, he sounds far more relaxed and comfortable. The urgency is still there at times ("EPMD 2," "Rare," "Count Me In") but now, it's like he's calmly killing the beats. I keep saying that working with Hit Boy made him take a different approach. He slowed it down so you probably won't hear something like "Where Y'all At," but he can still do that if he wants to.

Meek’s album is really bad.







my new favorite joint is Brunch On Sunday. I been messing with it for a min but after literally having Brunch on Sunday today with my fam its on repeat.


Video is fire too

I LOVE "Brunch on Sundays," and I don't even listen to it that much. It just sounds so happy and pure. You can't make a song like this unless you're truly content with who you are and where you're at in life. It motivates you to love yourself more.

I saw people online shytting on it, saying it was one of the worst songs on the album and I was like . You have a twisted soul if you hate a song like this.

Most enjoyable Nas album since God Son. Not saying I didn't enjoy all the other albums minus Nasir. It's just so replayable. My least favorite is Epmd and that's even growing on me. It's probably taken so long because I love the original

[Mike the Executioner]

Anybody having trouble getting past the first few tracks whenever they play the album? They're so good, I can't move past "Rare" because I'm stuck every time.

And that's just the first third of the album.

It’s for Apple Music.
