Speaking of Twitter. Who here has a good amount of followers?
Gotta say the weeks before the release i didn't like all this talk about sales that Cooo and old lady kept having. shyt looked misplaced to me, especially since the promo wasn't there.

But now that son dropped such a masterpiece, i don't want him to flop saleswise. And i'm sure those so called Hip-hop media are just waiting for low figures to change the narrative on this, just like they did for Magic.

So i DM'd Coop proposing him to launch something on Twitter to get the KD3 hashtag trending again and pick up the buzz again before the end of the first week sales. But Coop wasn't on twitter the whole day yesterday so i DM'd ole girl and showed her what i posted to Coop.

But i'm only now reading what y'all posted about her Twitter Space last night... Not sure i understand what y'all wrote about what happened exactly. But looks like they ain't talking together no more, so i don't know where this is going now 🤔

I could do it myself but it would have a bigger impact if it came from them..
she retweeted his stationhead show tonight I think they good

''I didn't have to die so that they could call me the great one
Didn't take a couple albums, people said it from day one
From wings with hot sauce to tuna tartare, driven in RRs
From hidin' from robbery victims in back of cop cars
Tatted from my neck to abdomen
Almost gettin' shot was averagin' once every two weeks
Blessed what I had to been
These painful words, hearing these liars puttin' my name in dirt
Aim and I burst, pistol practice until my fingers hurt
I hit my target, uh, I up the margin
What they on? You know how Nas do, don't get me started....'''

the flow on the 4 first bar
:ohlawd:


my favorite joint, he's really the best

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
First time I heard Nas…

Was probably IWW era.

If I Ruled The World video.

I remember the big city. Bright lights. Billboards. Nas’s coolness. Lauryn’s energy. Them standing on top of what looked like a limo. Felt like they were on top of the world. Cutting to him being in his neighborhood. Listening to what they were rapping and singing about. Fell in love with both of them and what they seemed to represent.

My big sis and cousin were probably the ones to really introduce me.

Took my sister’s IWW CD from this CD bookcase she had and I used to play that all the time before I would fall asleep.

Took off from there.

My cousin told me I had to listen to illmatic.

Heard them train tracks and was done from there.

Been my favorite rapper ever since.

I Am… was one of the first CDs I bought with my own money.

Been supporting whenever he drops something.

Sister took me to my first concert that he headlined. Think it was high school.

Basically have grown up on son’s music, been a big part of the soundtrack of my life.

Salute to that brother, crazy hearing him flowing for damn near 30 years. :wow:

I don’t think there’s a correlation there breh

Nas is just giving 50 acknowledgment there since they’ve gone on to prop one another recently via socials.

When 50 said what he said on that record he clearly did it to shyt on them since he had his issues with those particular artist.
An R&B wife on the arm, I close shop
I showed nikkas they first Bentley, fukk I window shop
Show nikkas they first ice, now they like, 'I love you'
Remember when they hustle, was tryna sue Russell
For what other nikka did to him, sounds sickenin'
That's why I cut him off, word to God, he was snitchin' then -
Nas on Street Riders

Maybe u also missed that Nas addressed 50' window shopper song on the Game's mixtape.
Im not saying its a diss to 50 but the lyrics on kD3 emphasise what he already said towards 50
Even 50 acknowledge that in Nas showed him his fleet during late 90s when Nas responded on Game's track.
so the correlation is there on Once a Man Twice a Child where Nas mentions Bentleys and 50cent

But enough of tht back to KD3...peace

Of course I didn’t miss those bars. That Street Rider shyt is from like a decade and a half ago breh

The point is theres no strays, shots or nothing in that bar about 50 but whatever.

imagine a video with nuthin but queens cat on it (g rap, ll, large pro, cnn, hav, trag, mic g, 50, lloyd banks, salt n pepa, run dmc, mega, nicki, ron artest, stephen a smith, john mc enroe ect ):banderas:
It needs to be pushed as a single it could be Made you look vibe. It already got Queens love throughout Clue Envy Camillo play it. No way Flex & the rest ignore it. Even the "Illmatic" fans can't deny that shyt Nasty Nas esque bars with a updated sound. Maybe I'm optimistic cause I love that shyt so much I'm a sucka for that hood Nas block music :heh: :wow:
