Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Monoblock]

Even Robert Townsend showing love in HB comments

shyt had me choked up a little bit man

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I went through all 17 tracks, no skips. Beautiful, some songs on repeat. Might be the album of the year to me, personally.

It's my AOTY for sure right now

 

[Edub]

This shyt HARD AS FUKK

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Get Light is a vibe

Just got to this…cot damn

 

[Icewatermetallik]

Even the 1-2 songs I ain't feelin that much I'm still feelin......you get me? Like no skippable tracks for me.

Honestly, this album reminds me of a modern version of IWW or Stillmatic.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Illmatic
It was written
Stillmatic
Kd3
Magic
Kd2
Life is good
God's son
Kd1
I am
Hip Hop is dead
Untitled
Street's disciple
Nastradamus
Nasir

That's shockingly close to my order. I"d have to think about it because he's got such a large body of work, but damn that might actually be my exact order. If I was allowed to put Lost Tapes on there I'd have it at the #2 slot under Illmatic. Not sure where I'd put Lost Tapes 2 if it could go on the list. But with what you got on there that's basically my list. I might swap LIG and GS on your list, but that'd be the only change.

Get Light could've been on a New York Undercover episode

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

This till my last breath… every soldier for Veterans Day need to be banging to this… I can see this song at band battles all through colleges and high schools.. wtf…

 

[triplehate]

why you ain't proud of Nas

 

[Apollo Kid]

Best of the series

 

[Mike the Executioner]

I honestly believe this is the happiest Nas has been in his whole career.

And when it's all said and done, this is going to be ranked as one of the greatest runs in hip hop history. This is Gang Starr/Tribe/EPMD consistency. Four albums in two years? I can divide, that's two every.....let's say, two. None of them shyts were doo.

 

[Artfull Dodger]

WTF SMH 1st beat is stupidly beautiful

 

[EndDomination]

Nas in 2022 made a better album than Drake, Kendrick, JID, Black Thought and Black Star….


Incredible

while KD3 is fire, The Forever Story is a near-flawless album.

I'm going to give both more time to cook before I make any comparisons
