Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Mike Wins]

After this I hope we get a few more videos. He’s legit got 3-4 songs that legitimately work as singles

Legit
Thun
Get Light
WTF SMH

This album could have legs all the way into 2023 if planned correctly.

Get Light: 80s block party theme, fire hydrant sprinklers, break dancing, track suits, Kangols, Cazals and truck jewelry everywhere, but have some young cats invent some new dance moves for it, hope to go viral

Thun: gotta be a vintage QB video with mad cameos. Rooftops, hallways, bubble gooses, weed smoke, plastic cups full of liquor everywhere

30: highlight reel with old footage, photos, clips from classic videos, new and old concert footage, mixed with a new video

Beef: you could do a real dope animated video for this

Hood2Hood: save this one for the summer, just something with a real feel good vibe to it

I would add Reminisce to this list as well that definitely have strong legs as a single.

Rosenberg had some bullshyt to say about Magic… MAGIC! How the fukk do you claim to be a Nas fan and have ANYTHING bad to say about MAGIC?!!!


fukk Rosenberg AND his mama

Of all people too. That's the one most in tune with what he (allegedly) likes about rap in terms of the darker beats, the Griselda-like drumless loop (Ugly) etc. Magic is the best thing Nas and Hit Boy have done together IMO.

I haven't fukked with Rosenberg since he disrespected Chuck D years ago. All that "disrespect legends and play media games with the founders of the culture" shyt gotta go. Not to mention the multiple weirdo comments he made about Combat Jack.

I believe Nas and Hit will wrap up their work with one more project. Most likely not titled KD. I know they have some stuff left in the vault. They'd be better off reworking it and adding more joints than releasing it in a Lost Tapes package. If it's something the fans like, the community will forever say, "Nas and Hit should have come out again with an album instead of Lost Tapes." Also, if Nas and Hit released a few tracks on a Lost Tapes project and then Nas came out with an album that without hit Man production that wasn't o par with the last 4 projects, the community would be talking crap about that as well. I know Nas doesn't worry about what fans say, but without Hit, Nas is back to the drawing board looking to both continue the momentum and find a new pocket. These are just my thoughts.

Just got around to listening to this because I was scared that it wasn’t going to be good.

Man this shyt is mean

 

[HARLEM AL]

Wtf SMH….. Wow

 

[Nostalgic]

I can’t find the original Keys song ANYWHERE on streaming

Couldn't find it either Hit must've did some hella diggin in the crates for that sample.

This whole KD run Hit has earn my respect, I really didn't know he was the good of a producer.

I'll give him his just due tomorrow.
