Steak tartare bloody, mercury levels from raw fish. Sushi for lunch, waiter at the table, the cork twist

Very dope, also:

Scared of p*ssy, you climbed out a caesarian

Potential 3 Peat on the way like Shaq Kobe Era

KDIII is going to be the rap equivalent of what would have happened if Jordan hadn't retired after the first Bulls 3peat....

i went to some of the publication for kd3. they're really people who still don't like hit boy's production. after all he did, I found it baffling. I mean I can understand having doubts after kd1 but after kd2 and magic the production is illmaculate. The hate is real yo

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Today is the day. Prepare. Hydrate. We celebrate tonight together. Haters, fans, groupies, stans. We are all together as one tonight. Let’s go!!

I Since 2002 Nas has had two hits, both from that year.

what is a hit record?

counting chartables this is incorrect, hes touched billboard numerous times

On a site where seemingly everyone hates everything this thread is very refreshing.
Hope KD3 lives up to everyone’s expectations.

A top 20-30 track on the Billboard 100, or a top 10 track on rap/urban charts. For instance at one point I Can was the #12 song on radio in the entire country, which is amazing. I think it peaked at #6 on the rap charts. That's a smash hit. Before that, Made You Look peaked at #9 on rap charts and #32 on the Billboard 100. No tracks since then have appeared in the top 10 (or 20) rap/urban charts. Highest other Billboard 100 song was Hip Hop Is Dead, at 41.

Sampling TROY would be interesting given the Pete Rock lawsuit lol…

Wave Gods" by Nas feat. A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier sampled Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)"

LINK

I don't remember if this was before or after he tried to sue Nas.

They been going HARD for Nas since Magic dropped.

Usually a “hit” i’d say is anything that touches top 40.

If we’re going by that then his last “hit” single would be Hip Hop Is Dead.

But he’s definitely had singles after that hit Billboard, usually in the 80-90’s range. Hero, Nasty, Cops Shot The Kid, and Spicy all charted.

Sorry Not Sorry also hit the Top 30

 

[Metal Face]

Why he ain't drop a single

 

[Rivoli]

Hit boy is dope but sometimes I miss the hard drums that salaam remi use to give nas.
