Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Mike the Executioner]

That's literally a snub from Rolling Stone.

I went through that list today and thought it was bullshyt. These white people love Illmatic and hate Nas so much, they can't even find a space for this album when there were 100 slots to put it in.

Gotta make room for Lada Dadi somehow.

What’s the second best album of the year? Grammys love Kendrick.

Kings Disease 3 deserves to go in the album of the year category for all genres as well as rap album of the year and he should win both.

Second best album of the year is JID’s Forever Story

 

[spliz]

Second best album of the year is none other than.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

My top 3 so far:

GOAT - KDIII
Lupe - Drill Music in Zion
Sadistik x Kno - Bring Me Back When the World is Cured

Contenders for the 4/5 are Ka, Roc Marci, perhaps Cormega.

lol am i the only one who absolutely loves the 2nd half of SMH but cant stand the 1st half of the song?

I'm guessin' it's a blessin' I'm not just lucky
They say son hate the spotlight when they discuss me
On a filthy night my man was serving a custie
Under my mom's window wanted to murder this dummy
If she caught us down here rakin' this dirty money
It'll be ugly
She flushed it before, now she feel like she can't trust me
'Cause Jung hid his jumps in the building
And I peeped him, I was low so I stole 'em and sold 'em while he was sleepin'
Re-up, gave it back with interest, we even
Some of these things that we escape, I can't believe it
Knicks game up in the seats, I barely hit the floor
Not tryna sit across from somebody lady I hit before
Top of fourth quarter, I skate, hit the liquor store
Lambo Aventador, Maybach with a minibar
Met a girl from Senegal, told her 'bout Medgar Evers
While combin' through Louis sweaters, we spinnin' and savin' letters, G's and M's

Gangsta Boo from 3-6 mafia being the biggest Nas stan is hella random too me

The Ladies love Nasir
It's really that simple...

I love both halves truthfully

Definitely prefer the production on the second half but I don’t hate the first half. It grew on me a little. I like the lyrics throughout although the acronyms are a little corny.

he is using internet acronyms, talking about all the shyt people talk about online. the humor is escaping some people. the tone switch on the beat switch compliment the lyrics of the second half more, they are serious. it doesn't fit the playful undertone of the first half which was meant to be ridicule(lous) in tone towards internet culture "disgust smh". I don't think he uses the acronyms on the second half for that reason.

Hit is scoring on this album and this is def a concept song. Less direct than Beef but still. The song stood out to me on first listen but i got it by the end.

I love the second half but like the first half as well. I understand Hit’s style so I can live with the best switches but damn. I’d the best parts were their own songs, that shyt will be dope AF.
