Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

These albums don’t even have the same vibe. I don’t get y’all. To each his own tho.

Also I feel like Hit Boy was still kind of a copycat producer on KD1 and Burden of Proof. Not in a bad way. I thought he was a great copycat, but I felt like he was doing a lot of other cats styles. Just, Bink, etc. But now I think he's developed his own signature sound. He still takes elements from other producers now and then. Some of the Magic joints have some Griselda flavor, and some of the beats on KD3 have some Timbo flavor. But I still feel like it's Hit now, and not Hit copying other styles.

Also the crazy shyt is that no one else has been able to capture the magic Hit has developed with Nas. Like other rappers who try to do shyt with Hit don’t get the best out of him the way Nas does.

Im on vacation right now so I didnt intend to listen to this until sometime tomorrow but curiosity got the best of me and I had to grab my headphones. Soon as I played the intro I was like I know them boys going crazy I had to come here and check the sentiment

Currently listening to “30”. There was a poster here that said something to the effect that being a Nas fan felt like picking the winning horse - thats exactly what it is, unprecedented run.

Yo I’m honestly overwhelmed, I can’t even spin it back yet

I need to go for a walk or something but it’s the middle of the night and cold

I’m trying not to overreact, but I had high hopes for this and even still it just blew my fukking mind

God bless Hit for helping Nas reach his fullest potential

People are saying this is their least favorite from the trilogy, but I think this is the best one. Production-wise and lyrically.

Last two projects, Magic and KD3, Nas has been sounding like '97-'98 Nas to me, again. He said recently that he's been inspired lately, and you can hear it on this joint. This is the Nas that was missing for a minute. He's sounding like he's truly back in his zone again. 17 tracks, and on the first few listens, there's only like 3-4 I couldn't get with. Really dope project, so far. They went in on this one!

 

[Easy-E]

I'm bout to pull out my Rocawear hoodie and durag

 

[Life is Good]

NAS IS FUKING AMAZING! HITBOY IS FUKING AMAiZING! This shyt is ridiculously GREAT!

 

[TheDarceKnight]

56 songs with Hit-Boy since 2020

 

[Dylmatic]

Is that Hit-Boy and his son we hear at the end of Once a Man, Twice a Child ?

 

[NoHalfWay]

This is all truth. It’s just weird to see people complaining. I don’t understand peoples ears. Fortunately I never cared. That’s why when I make my music I trust my own instincts.

Just do you. I copped Social Drugs my nikka

You make that classic NY shyt with subtle smoothness. That’s tailor made for YOU and it goes

fukk whatever other nikkas talk about. Yeah you can switch ya style whenever you want, but fukk the critics

I’m seeing the total opposite of people saying Nas/Hit are incredible. I agree I love the production on this.

I liked Burden of Proof but yeah it was definitely diet Just Blaze and JUSTICE League
