Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[HNIC973]

There are certain folks in these threads who don't like any discussion that's not effusive praise

maybe some people don't like nitpicking arguments

Man i had a very vivid & Stannish thought (or dream can't remember) of 30 being the intro and the outro to the MSG show. And on the Outro when Nas says Premier album might just happen, he suddenly walks on stage. Crowd goes fukking crazy, but the best is to come..

At the end each time he says "going on 30 summers" another vet walks on stage whether it's Q-Tip, Busta, Rae&Ghost, Large Pro, Jay, Rakim, KRS, G-Rap... Whoever was important to Hip-hop and Nas' career for the past 30 years

Would be quite some hommage for someone who's been constantly bigging up others work and showing respect and admiration for 3 decades

I rock with Hit Boy. He deserves all respect. He really put his all into these albums with Nas. Their chemistry is undeniable.

I'm the biggest Hit-Boy fan man..
Dude got a great spirit and u can tell
how proud he is to be working with Nas.
Pretty good interview.. I would've also liked to
see him tap in with Coop and Mike and The Rap Roundtable too.
They both show big love.

He openly admit to using sample packs in addition to traditional samples and composing beats from scratch

The artist gonna choose the beat and there's financial concerns with traditional samples. Artist may not want to give up part of their publishing or pay to clear it so they stay away from those. Nas exist in a weird space there, he don't got a label clearance department or budget to clear samples, but he high profile enough where using unauthorized samples not gonna fly under the radar. A lot of them Daringer and Alchemist samples show up on releases that's under the radar and selling minimal amounts, it's not even worth it for the rights holders to enforce or they never even find out

Hit and Benny tried to sneak one through on Burden of Proof and they had to pull it and replace the beat on streaming

Did that beat happen to be Where Would I Go?

this is a great interview with hit boys engineer, basically his right hand man in the studio

literally worked his way from the bottom to the top. says the only time he was nervous was working with nas.

That's it

 

[Trace]

That's it

Thank you for that info then breh. I always wondered why the beginning of the track on streaming services differed from that of my downloaded file.

A similar thing happened with Wave Gods on Magic. On streaming services in A$AP’s verse there’s a pause in the beat along with his lyrics, but my initial download didn’t have that, but the CD does.

My guess is Hit-Boy resubmitted some touched up mixed after initial release.

That was 2014 so it was after the beef lol. But the idea of Rapaport being in there, phone in hand, expecting beef to pop off at any minute is hilarious.

When you have an album discussion thread 7k comments deep don’t you expect to get into the nitpicky?

Nas hooks don't really stay in my head but this one has been there for a minute. Is it only me :


Eardrums devirginized from the words of mine (Mine)
Just a word of advice, you can't murder Nas (Nas)
All my nikkas certified, we got certain ties (Ties)

some of y'all done let that chick in his camp corrupt your minds

Is it 100% confirmed that she's even in his camp?

 

[Ziggiy]

Is it 100% confirmed that she's even in his camp?

She is. She’s told the story about meeting Anthony Selah and getting involved with working with Nas that are too detailed (in my opinion ) to be lies and she’s also been verified by Coop from According To Hip Hop.

 

[HNIC973]

Is it 100% confirmed that she's even in his camp?

She definitely knows things within the camp. She's gone on 2-3 hours talking about stuff within his inner circle. Either she is or she's the GOAT liar . I think she's a photographer/ blogger
