They still talking. Kanye really fukked up Nasir
This is brilliant“Hit-Boy on the beat, this shyt ‘posed to slap”
Every fukking time. 4-peat! KD3 is the latest and maybe the greatest of the four–woooooooweeeee this muthafukka is dope sonically! It rides all the way through and don’t let up.
It feels urgent, big, and epic at moments. Elsewhere, more nostalgic and laid back. Funky on Recession Proof. Lot of different flavors.
Love all the beat switches. The layering. The different tempos. The moods. The little things to keep it interesting. Never gets dull or stale.
Gives Nas a versatile and diverse soundscape. An audiobook that allows author Nas to really shine, showcasing some of my favorite versions of Nas: street Nas, conscious Nas, nostalgic Nas, braggadocious Nas, wise Nas, caring Nas, creative Nas, funny Nas. Man, you can tell Nas feels comfortable and confident with all the different flows and topics he’s exploring. Just seems like he’s having fun.
Salute to Hit-Boy. I’ve enjoyed his production across all of these albums. I honestly couldn’t say he was really on my radar before KD1. I had absolutely heard some of his songs but I hadn’t really connected with him on that level where I knew who he was and was taking notice of what he was doing. Son is dope. He been giving Nas heat.
I think what I appreciate most about him is that you can tell he cares and is committed to tailoring shyt for Nas and for putting Nas in a position to do what Nas does best and I think that allows Nas to stretch and flex over different sounds and energy. Nas has sounded inspired and invigorated throughout all of this and I think the production from Hit-Boy is a big reason. They’re chemistry has been on display and growing with each project. Building on each others’ legacies, these brothers have been amazing. In KD3, for Hit-Boy to go dolo on all the beats and for Nas to go dolo on all the raps—incredible shyt. Honestly, I’m in awe. Clap for them.
I didn't really even like 1 that much to be honest but at the time I was just happy to get new Nas knowing he didn't need to drop more music to solidify his GOAT status so when I heard the improvement in 2 I've just been blown away ever since. I would have never imagined in a thousand years that they would top 2 and here comes Magic and 3 lol

On Esco Let's Go, Nas said "I'm trying to write hood movies, like Posse and Five Heartbeats" and now Nas finally sampled the Five heartbeats for Legit...Nas always mentions cultural references during his experiences of the zeitgeist back then in dense lyrics that hit years later...I wonder if the Posse movie have any samples to flip

The beginning of this jam is taken from the 1991 movie, The Five Heart Beats.. This scene also becomes part of Nas' bars when he speaks of Eddie Kane making his return to the group while singing. The story of this movie is albout various artists during the golden age of music.
