Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[HNIC973]

If you ever wanted to see what the cornballs who only want Illmatic producers look like!

It's the single with Cardi B. Also FNF was placed on the album; most of its streams came before she officially signed to the label (wink wink) and aren't counted, but recent streams for the song over the last week are counted. Those two songs (and Nut Quick) will probably keep her on the chart for a few weeks.

Yea it’s a game. Lol. “Sales”. Lmao.

These stuck in the 90's dudes are a special breed man. Nas done address these dudes numerious times "It's always forward I'm moving never backwards stupid here's another classic" "special like my listeners that have attachments to my old style and won't let me pass it"

"Dookie cheese platter" and "dookie cutlet" in a review. That would be funny as hell to my 9-and-5-year old boys but come on.

Those people aren’t fans of Nas. They are fans of Illmatic.

Like that guy who said that Nas hasn't been produced since Illmatic. Or the reviews from that Pitchfork/Rolling Stone crowd that always manage to mention Illmatic for some reason.

It's 2022. I have no idea why someone would want a 49-year-old man to continue making the music that he made almost thirty years ago, when he wasn't even old enough to drink at his own album release party.

I get Premier, because those two have made multiple classic songs together and they still have a good relationship. But Pete Rock? Q-Tip? Really? Nobody ever mentions L.E.S. and he has the most history with Nas out of all the Illmatic producers. But I guess he's not cool enough for backpackers to shout out.

I don't think people saw the entire clip when Mike said that on live. He basically said when Nas locks in with HB you don't get those missteps for example" The Flyest then Braveheart Party" or A Last real nikka Alive followed after a Zone Out. That was more the point he was making like he allows Nas to be experimental just not with horrible results

I could see that. I always said Nas' biggest problem wasn't beat selection, it was track selection. There would always be that one song or two that could have been replaced. Even Life is Good, a near-perfect album, has "Summer on Smash." I like that song, but if you replaced it with literally any of the bonus tracks, I wouldn't miss it.

But ever since King's Disease, that problem has been eliminated. If you listen to all of these albums, you're never wondering what the unreleased stuff sounds like. The track selection has been impeccable. Songs that could have thrown off the quality ("This Ain't Love, But I Love It," "Spicy," "Til My Last Breath") are either sequenced at the end or left off entirely. KD2 was flawless outside of "EPMD 2." Critics can't point to those obvious duds that shouldn't have been on the album because there aren't any.
