Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[HoldThisL]

What is crazy is I have Director's Cut 4 as my AOTY. I might have it by a hair over this tbh these two albums mimic each other and are almost the same. Lyrics are top tier, production is laid back and on point. Both of these albums sound almost the same to me and that isa really good thing. Both are great albums but it is ironic how I listen to both and the production just fit each other style. Hell of an album. This and Ransom's album are clearly leading the way for me this year.

What's Director Cut 4?

I won’t say lazy. I think he just in a zone having fun and don’t give a fukk about nothing because he’s having fun and he spitting… without any pressure or worries.. and experimenting… I wouldn’t say lazy though. It’s good to see him like this.. this one just wasn’t it for what the series been doing.

it's 1000% lazy... but I agree. He definitely sounded like he didn't give a fukk... not in a good way.

thats the verse 50 submitted?

Yeah… 50 coulda kept that shyt

Nas blacked out tho

Crazyyyy I absolutely love it.

No disrespect at all but that’s expected from you and a couple others. You also enjoyed Nasir? I’m not saying it’s that status but it’s in the bottom 5 for sure…. The tunes sounded repetitive and screamed hitboy all over it. To the point it’s tiring. And I’m not saying I don’t want to see kd4. Still excited to see what they do and never will sleep but this album can make you think it’s time to move on.

Remember listening to Magic the first time could barely get thru the album I was replaying songs so much. Speechless, Ugly, it was an instant classic off first play no questions. It would be damn near impossible to top that with a sequel.

I’m cool with esco taking a break though. nikka mentioning Chrisean and blue face cmon dog. Subject matter is getting repetitive too.

Even hit seemed like he mailed it in with some of these joints.

50 really hyped that 4 bar ass verse up. Like we were witnessing history.

[PIFF101]

What you mean where Jungle at? Where your verse at 50

 

[Brandon M.]

the beginning 22 seconds of Office Hours should have been the beat

 

[InstantKlassik]

This shyt CRAZY they did it again

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Nikka talking about how I knew this was the best song already and now most people in the thread saying its the best song

It’s definitely top 3 or top 2 to me

HitBoy is a GREAT producer
