Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Ironman]

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

fukkem

What he say? Lol

basically 'fukk you backpackers. get out of your basement. we was outside enjoying I Am, You Owe Me, Ochie Wally and you kept critiquing him and boxing him in'

Only critique so far is Joe feels although Nas lyrically great. he didn't elevate to his absolute alien level peak. He gives example of Jay or 3 Stacks on the Kanye joint but rebuttal someone on the pod was which is same i have, it's easier to go to your peak if you only drop a verse one every 2 years. Nas doing 2 albums a year basically. i bet if Nas didn't do a verse for 5 years he'd come through with so much to say the verse would be crazy

also saying Jay was on some bullshyt with the 1 hot album every 10 year average when Nas has Illmatic, IWW and I Am. but was just to create a narrative for a diss

I’m glad someone rebutted that shyt and imma keep it real. There’s mad verses I like from the KD and Magic series WAY better than that God Did verse.

Budden and crew blown away by the album.

Are you sure? They didnt try and backhand compliment him or find a way to mention Jay 50 times during the review?

 

[Edub]

No flaws

Facts they did really well with this review…hopefully no complaints about it. But on some troll shyt Is he allowed to even speak on Nas. I mean he’s a way lesser MC than him right? So his opinion shouldnt even be valued right lmao

 

[RAW_SPK]

I cant remember which verse of “Michael & Quincy” that Joe said was his potential verse of the year

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

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.

Thank you, I've been sayin this for years ! a lot of nas' album have unreleased cuts that blew away a lot of the retail ones. lets rearrange iam and nastradamus to the double disc, some tracks on stillmatic, streets disciple, hhid untitled and lig and you got way better albums. the beats are good for the style nas have. no overproduced shyt or to synthetics. his beats got soul and age pretty well if you compare to vol 2 and 3 jay z for example

hit boy got rid of the extra filler tracks, you can press play on any of the hit boy series and it flows well

the so called backpackers only critique nas on his beats just cause with no real arguments. mega got almost all the illmatic producers on born again and no one praised that album. no one check for primo and large pro beats outside the nas conversation. no one praised the 2 pete rock beats on lost tapes 2. if nas were to get produced by them, they would procede to say it's not illmatic

Ima post that video from royce once again, denoucing the hypocrisy of these backpacker sheeps

Nas should throw Cardi or Nicki on the “Get Light” joint for the video man, that shyt would be everywhere, radio all day.

I can hear Cardi on there, trying to actually spit, lol. Get ya writers ready.

He would be better off getting Nicki. Cardi voice and delivery would sound awkward. He should get Harlem or BX on it tho. In whatever way he can.

 

[OG Talk]

This seems to be getting the most mainstream love from the industry types.

My ranking for the Hit Boy run..

KD2
Magic
KD3
KD1

MassAppeal is a confused ass label. Yeah i said it
we love nas but it needed to be said

I thought the point of business is to make money. silly me..
That spend little but maximize profit only works for a super hot song that picked up steam organically

Fivio Foreign is having a hard time wrapping his head around 21 Savage calling Nas "irrelevant" ... and not only because he was featured on Nas' Grammy Award-winning album a couple years ago.

The way Fivio sees it ... after 28 years of prolific music making, Nas has earned carte blanche status in the rap game, and can legitimately have zero fear of ever being obsolete.

TMZ Hip Hop linked with Fivio Tuesday at LAX, and he was quick to crown Nas "King of New York" in wake of 21's slander.

Fivio Foreign Cannot Believe 21 Savage's Nas Disrespect

Fivio Foreign is having a hard time wrapping his head around 21 Savage calling Nas "irrelevant" ... mainly because he was featured on Nas' Grammy Award-winning album just a couple of years ago!!!
