Another thing the sequencing is amazing.
I had issues with the sequencing on KD1 and KD2, but this flows so seamlessly

 

[Life is Good]

The dusty/old-heads are in shambles from all this KD3, Nas & Hitboy love.

 

[Izanami]

Hit-Boy gotta be the most versatile producer of his generation, might be of all time

 

[Life is Good]

I swear if it was promoted better it would’ve gone crazy. It’s alotta people that ain’t know this album existed.

Now they should know . No excuse it just came out.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Don’t even see this trending or any bars being recited anywhere

Is this some mid?

I see nothing has changed

 

[Life is Good]

#KD3 on Twitter when you talk about the album there.

Real dope on first listen. Nas is incredible. Dude has officially turned back the hands of time. You can hear the difference from the first album to this. Flow and word play is razor sharp.

That being said. I think I'm good on Nas over hitboy production for a while. Hit's beats are always good. Never anything bad. But they can feel a bit "thin" at times. Like they're just missing something. Can start to feel repetitive and mundane. Not a huge fan of some of the samples used. But Nas is so sharp he always keeps you engaged.

I'd say "get light" is the clear stand out here. An instant classic. Beautiful sample. Beautiful rhymes. Could possibly be the best track in all of their albums together. This is more the type of shyt I wanna hear Nas on. That soulful boom bap. Some 9th. Some sounwave. Knxwledge. Thundercat. Alchemist.....I just wanna see him branch out and start working with others again now that he's back in prime form. And you know they would all give him their A1 shyt.

Exactly how I feel about his beats …they never are worse than like C+/B- level but those “Wu For The Children” next level moments don’t happen enough

 

[Wargames]

He dropped four classic. Honestly ranking them is only personal choice.

Beats took a step back from the highs of Magic and KD2. Would either ALC or Madlib improved things here? Maybe.

Nas did his thing, no question.

the culprit here is the mixing and mastering 100%

 

[spliz]

There’s nothing wrong with the beats or the mixing and mastering on this album.

 

[Brian O'Conner]

He said the premier album might happen

 

[Artfull Dodger]

the elements layered in the beats is what made me like Hitboy since KD. His beats need a whole listening session on their own.
