Salute to both Hit-Boy and Nas!

Michael & Quincy has a similar pace to Shootouts on It Was Written.

You know this a REAL classic when nikkas got mostly the same top 5 or 7 records on here and SPECIALLY over the same 2-3... Feel like it was more mixed with the other 2. I count Magic separately. When it's almost unanimous the tracks that are them ones... It's different it's more objective than a mixed bag where nikkas top tracks all over the place specially was the case for first KD

Thun, Michael & Quincy, Legit and Reminisce..... I can see nikkas arguing for top 10-20 Nas tracks all time years later if not now. It's just nikkas perspectives ain't all the way on release date. Handful others easily can be in top 30 convo...

I ain't felt that off the first 2 King's Disease. You could tell they was gettin in they bag and when it hit (shyt like The Cure and Store Run) but overall it was experimentation plus more features and just feelin they wasn't completely sure what they was yet....

But this shyt RIGHT HERE nikka??? GOOOOT DAMNNNN WOOOOOOOOOO. It's a classic. Magic got me rethinking maybe it should enter Nas top 5 discog level but I ain't feel that with the other 2 KDs even tho they was still great albums. The order is clear it's gotten better and better with each record including Magic.... If you got any order but KD3 > Magic > KD2 > KD... I can't trust your ear shyt is OBVIOUS

I can't believe he did this shyt man. I never would've considered ever breaking the Nas holy trinity of Illmatic, IWW and Lost Tapes.... But we might needa have that discussion

Hit Boy is so good at beat switches. Executes them perfectly, whether it's a sudden beat switch or if it's slowly blended in

Hit Boy seems to read lot of reactions on twitter/ youtube. Someone needs to link him to this thread to see the reaction here haha

Beats trash as usual, pair nas with alchemist or so and he might be able to do a classic album again after his last in the mid 90s

negged.

The album cements his status as the GOAt by far. If I'm nitpicking, the album deserved a better album cover. I swapped it out for something I found on Reddit.

Pete Rock suing Nas for some missed royalties on World Is Yours. So thought ironic diss on modern production why there's some bitter fans still wanting Nas to rap with Pete Rock and other grumpy producers
