Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[BK The Great]

I never wanna hear people bytch about a Nas/Premo album again. Nas and Hit Boy are 4 for 4 now. They just gel perfectly when it comes to this music shyt. we wanted good Nas albums and they keep giving them to us.

I would love to hear that album though. But we've been eating well off these albums from both Nas & Hit Boy.

Magic and KD3 are top 5 Nas albums call me crazy idc

He basically offset all of his subpar projects and put to rest the overarching critique of production lacking..

And he did it in a very short time span well after his prime.

Never seen anything like it before, and I would’ve never predicted it.

edit*** I’m definitely putting God Son over LFIG

LT looks low...some would argue, including me, it's second to only Illmatic

The only thing I can say with certainty is that Magic & KD3 are top 7 Nas projects

The fact that LIG is no longer a top 6 project in his catalogue speaks to the brilliance of this 2020-22 run

 

[MikeStamina]

It's funny when people say Nas isn't relevant...bytch you wouldn't currently be talking about him if he wasn't

WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS MISS THIS VERY SIMPLE POINT..smh

KD3 already better than God’s Son and LIG

The highs on those albums stand the test of time.

I don’t know about that one.

Nevertheless, it just goes to show you how GOATED his discography is when the placements will be different for almost everyone on here.

"I hate that it took me so long in my life to discover Nas music"



30 years in the game and still can get this reaction..

you really put nasir before nastradamus ? that album got too much bad rep. it got life we choose, project windows, shoot em up, come get me, last words... that alone blew nearly everything on nasir

my rank ( 7 to 9 are on the same level to me)

God's son is NINE, I mean think about it for a second
and the albums from 12 to 18 all got gems and some are personal and fan favourites (I love Lost tapes 2 and Street's disciple)

Ya'll nikkas rate distant relative hella low..maybe Cuzz it's more of Damian album but that is a personal classic to me lol I love reggae

I wouldn't rank a group album with the solos so I can't rank distant relatives but it's a 4 star album easy

 

[MikeStamina]

Yeah his point makes sense. He has a loyal fanbase and makes good music, but isn't moving the needle in the mainstream. Which is fine - dude's 49, no reason to try being in that lane.

IE...not making noise on tic tok
And being posted on Shaderoom for dumb ass beefs..

We grown men over here. We good on that..keep yo relevancy

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I hope they stay close. Cause Damian and Nas was damn near inseparable during their run and it don’t even seem like they speak to eachother now.

I’m not even tryna be a smart ass

But why would we care if they are close or speak to

I think im the only one in this forum that doesnt hold Magic to that high regards.

Because we get more dope music.

 

[I'm Blackman]

To put it in perspective...

If any other rapper's first 4 albums were KD1/KD2/Magic/KD3, then they would already be in the top 20-25 convo (easily). Nas dropped them after already being on Mount Rushmore. THE GOAT.

This is true.
