Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Stick Up Kid]

This album was posted theshaderoom tho. For the Jay line of course. Lol

You know damn well Oscar won't give it to Nas.

Son was snubbed by the Academy for his performance in Belly

shamone....just doesn't sound the same the same when its not delivered in a high pitched voice.

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

That's what so crazy about his catalogue. He has so many good albums that his top ten will be different person to person.

theshaderoom posted it the day of release.

Why people thought he was dissing serch if it seemed to be props? I was confused by that one..

 

[ThirdAct]

A couple of the songs feel like they could've came right off LT1...The funky breakbeat on Recession Proof reminds me of No Idea's Original and Reminisce and Once a Man, Twice a Child kinda have that nostalgic/melancholy vibe

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

I thought it was great but didn’t like it nearly as much as everyone else seems to. Rate KDII and maybe LIG/GS higher even tho there’s some skips on all of them. But I see how someone could love magic that much. I think KDIII is better than them all though. His best album since LT to me I think.

To be fair his full statement made sense and the discussion was respectable. He said Nas wasn't relevant to the youth but he's really good at what he does and has a loyal fanbase.

I can respect that from a younger dude.

That's cool n all...except the world does not revolve around the youth. We're overestimating their strength because of social media.

I rather be relevant to money spenders
That is still 25-54

Ask any marketing/advertising person for confirmation .

Da Baby that was just all over radio is already struggling to sell out shows. But using the "does the youth fukk with you logic" he's more relevant than Nas

People are crazy if they think this isn't good. It's been on repeat since it dropped. What do they want from him if they can't enjoy this?

There's a segment that ONLY want these people to work with Nas

Which would be great but in reality Hitboy crafted 4 great albums and Nas sharp as every, got these haters in their feelings saying shyt like it's mid, 5/10, Nas not relevant...
which is translation for:

 

[AkaDemiK]

over the last two years fam really created albums that can arguably be placed into his top 5/10 in his entire discography.

Favorite song off this album


He said "to be the greatest is lonely but it chose me I'll take it."

This is the one. Everything about it is flawless.

Another reason why the music the past few years has been so amazing is because of the engineering.



Dude engineered all the Nas/Hit albums. Def brought the Soundscape/FX that elevated these projects. Salute.
