I think Hitboy is an ok producer, If i had to rate him I'd give him like a 7.5.

To me his greatest talent is he got Nas sounding like Nas again... I guess that counts the most. I'm not seeing this genius level producer here. I guess he's consistent ?

There's something about his beats, it just lacks something to me... I hear corny arrangements and odd sound choices on some songs...and the mixing, his beats are mixed to be the forefront rather than Nas.

Like I'm thinking back over all 4 of these releases, was there one classic beat ? Maybe Store Run... Maybe Moments ? To me HitBoy is holding these albums back, they're good releases that could be great-classic releases

I wish Kanye wasn't a dumbass and didn't rush the Gawd, took his time like he did with Push, even then.. As far as beats go ? I like Adam and Eve over anything on all 4 of these albums.
This is hating

“I’m just gonna say it right now… I think this album is amazing. This might be kinda blasphemous to the purists, but this is actually my second favorite Nas album now. Yeah. I like it more than It Was Written. This shyt is fire. “

I normally had to holy trinity of

Illmatic
It was Written
The Lost Tapes

Magic was sitting just right outside of that. I think KD3 is about to enter that atmosphere for me. :ahh:

Score 9.7/10

“All three King’s Diseases propel hip-hop ahead while simultaneously reminding us how far it has gone. Nas and Hit-Boy are currently on the hottest run in hip-hop history. We must support them to continue their wonderful job.”
