Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[L. Deezy]

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

Yeah this whole run with HB has pushed all his albums after Lost Tapes down for me. It feels like 3 careers in one. I Am and God Son are now ranked 9 and 10..

Shyt is mind boggling what he doing quality wise

 

[Dolo]

Serious Interlude so soulful

 

[ThirdAct]

That beat switch on the second verse of Don't Shoot is so fire

Just started watching this. I like his reaction as he’s one of the few that actually gives feedback/ observations from the perspective of someone who knows how MCs and producers do their craft. Lot of reactors just vibing out but he actually does interesting analysis

 

[JoelB]

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 thing 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)



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

I was about to snap on u for putting Untitled at #15...but then i looked up and trying to figure out what album could it surpass?

Kd1, Kd2, KD3, & Magic really pushed down some incredible projects....its almost disrespectful to have it that low, but its almost justified

 

[ThirdAct]

Can't get Hood2Hood outta my head

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

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

And that's what the old heads told him in the chat. There's nothing in there to get mad about. I'm a Nas fan I'm not offended by Savage viewpoint.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

My nikka Nas



I was happy as fukk Magic was different than KD 1 and 2

This shyt even way more fire than Magic



KD3
Magic
KD1
KD2

 

[jensyao]

is someone recording these twitter spaces conversations or if there's a replay of what they said?

Let’s keep it bean

Nothing about untitled is “weak” save for the lay listener who’ll criticize the obvious

With that said, I’m a Nas fan that preferred more substance and creativity to shock and awe

I’m beyond grateful to his “return to form” since KD.

 

[TV]

I wonder what will be the single from this album.

Thun?
Hood2Hood?
Once a Man, Twice a Child?
Reminisce?
I'm on Fire?

@TV this is a “black album” no singles needed champ
