Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[Supa]

Now I know why Get Light's beat reminded me so much of 93 Til Infinity - it came from a sample pack clearly trying to imitate the Til Infinity sample

Man I been trying to find that sample for a while because I know heard it and tried to flip it. Normally with sample packs you can tell they're not from an actual song. They're like diet or imitation samples and are way too clean and sterile. When people say there's something missing in Hit Boy's production it's usually them noticing that difference. I see he started using better packs made by better musicians.

That pack is royalty free so a smart move on the business end.

No funny shyt, I was thinking the other day. You know how in movies/tv/books there’s this character that was prophesies as The One.

I think we are living in one of those moments. 49 years young. Changed everything in 94 and is now in another prime of his career. This dude is the complete embodiment of this culture and the love for it and it’s history.

He’s the example. The pinnacle of what hip-hop is, what it represents, what can be accomplished through it…it’s been beautiful seeing my favorite artist at every stage, still being the greatest 30 years in.

The only MC I ever wanna be compared to

I played one song today and had to throw the whole album on. If you seen a civic bumping KD3 in the midtown tunnel today that was me

 

[Thief's Theme]

Just took some time to re-listen to KD3 all the way through



GOAT

 

[Thief's Theme]

Thun is song of the year

 

[Thief's Theme]

our favorite rapper really is on another level

GOAT

edit: after you get used to Hit-Boy's beats and you settle in on Nas' wordplay rhymes, I dunno how to describe it, but the way he flows words together so nonchalantly and the vocabulary is just crazy

 

[Sean7]

Listening again, GOAT...... Thun on repeat.

“Time piece monsters,
Every season we on the hunt,
Jeepers creepers”

God damn! That’s a bar.

If Wayne, Lil Baby or 21 said that, y’all would say it’s trash. That’s a super mid ass bar

Man STFU.

Wayne, Lil Baby and 21 all got bars. A bar is a bar, no matter who spit it. I ain’t a hater. But this ain’t about them.

It’s a dope bar in a song full of dope bars.

Thun is song of the year

Thun is not just song of the year but
for me personally it's the hardest song I've heard in years.

 

[waynep]

Y'all not going to agree with me on this but the
way Nas was floating on Reminisce when the
drill beat kicked in and how crazy the beat sounded.
I'm sorry but I would've extended the drill part
for another song possibly a remix and threw Ice Spice on it lol
and I'm dead serious about that. Nas would've had to write her verse tho.
That song would shut NY radio down.

Yup. Now it makes sense. Hit's production got the same feel as those premade melodies that came on every Casio keyboard back in the day.
