Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[KnickstapeCity]

Was JUST listening to this song thinking the same thing. I gotta give Hit credit for giving a modern IWW vibe, and then slapping us with that beat change.

The whole run of Thun, Michael & Quincy, 30, and Hood2Hood is like a perfect take on modern mafioso. Hood2Hood gave me Scarface theme song vibes. Hit was in a zone coming up with these, and Nas somehow found another wind not sounding like someone about to turn 50

Now that you mention it… Kind of gives that Scarface, Miami in the 80s vibe… Like Push It by Ross.

This is the first KD project I actually like front to back I enjoyed Magic, this is a better project.

Manhattan keeps on makin' it
Brooklyn keeps on takin' it
Bronx keeps creatin' it
And Queens keep on CAKIN' IT

The way he emphasized caking it, he been waiting 30 years to spit that shyt

I like how Nas on lot of tracks just having fun with it.

Like on 30. Nas you could tell was just in a zone feeling the vibe when he did:

This is practice
This is magic
History, havoc
Instant classic
This is madness
In all fairness

Nas is NASIR!!!

 

[GeeEffKay]

This shyt even more immaculate today

The near 50 yr old really out here outdoing dudes half his age with this KD trilogy and magic run and its not even really close either. GOAT

Not home so can’t say much. Later for laptop. Just wanna say that Nas should be naming his albums ‘Nail, Vol. _’ cause all he’s doing with each additional release is adding another nail into the GOAT debate coffin.

Wanted to hear him rap over the other sample in "Thun"

Jay and Bleek killed that like 20 years ago

I still think the production is lacking on most of these recent products, and Nas is my favorite rapper, I keep a copy of It Was Written on my dresser

What's the sample on Hood2Hood? I thought it may be an older Nas song from like 10 years ago. It's like a retrospective track, similar to this.

edit: it's Freeway, from Free At Last, 2007, the intro track

damn I love when I can do that in under a minute

On my 2nd playthrough, Nas really rapping like he's in his 2nd prime God's Son era bars and delivery but more mature
