Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[RAW_SPK]

Listened to the Budden podcast

Again, knowing that Budden is an unrepentant Hov stan, this review by him and the team is the equivalent of Miss Info’s 5 Mic Source Review lol. He all but said Nas is the GOAT without saying it. There are absolutely NO flaws in the album, which is why his “critique” was precedented on the notion that it was “Just for the Mount Rushmore” of MC’s, so that he COULD give Jay-Z points for that overrated ass God Did verse.

Again it wasnt as much of a knock on Joe’s end as it was moreso “i wish he did _____”. I would love for Nas to drop random joints where its one verse and he just blacking like one of Drake’s time stamp joints but it aint required of him and he never really did that on his albums outside of intros. He dont need to. Hell id love for Jay to do that shyt too but he doesnt and does so on guest verses. But now Jay’s knock (for me) would be to match Nas output quality and quantity wise as of late. I aint see that as a slight against Nas but again…I get it

Those type of verses got more impact on featurings because that's the moment where you're in "competion" with other mcs. Hence the run of nas in 95. And it's one verse so its more easy to spazz out. But I never heard Jay spit that type of flow nas is displaying in Kd3 this last decade. God did included

Budden with the best "fukk you" to backpacker Illmatic Nas fans



Starts out with salute to Nas and then a review

 

[up in here]

It's gotta be 3 songs from each KD.

1. Ultra Black
2. 10 Points
3. The Cure
4. The Pressure
5. Rare
6. Nas is good
7. Reminisce
8. I’m on fire
9. WTF SMH

Though the KD3 joints might change cause everyday I’m liking different joints more, but WTF SMH is definitely up there no matter what

 

[Ziggiy]

One thing ive seen this time round is the reviews have been comin in with the quickness and most have been universal in acclaim

Also having read every review that I posted almost ALL of them either don’t even mention Illmatic OR they only mention it to highlight Nas longevity

Nas did that with Nasty on LIG. But that’s not really how he crafts albums.

@IllmaticDelta @FlyGuy

No the examples y’all gave is the incorrect context.
The examples you two gave describe an event, not a person.
‘An attempt to rush the stage is futile’ not the person or group of people that did the attempt.

An event, a movement can be futile, just like the examples y’all gave.
This is not how you use the word futile, you both gave definitions but you did not think how to apply it correctly.

Ignore


fukking idiot
