mannnnnnnnn this is perfect modern day production for Nas. I feel like the only people that won’t like this album are the people they don’t like modern bangers. He has so many bangers on this project.

I wouldn’t say the production is bad at all but they tried a lot of different early on in the album with the abracadabra, black magic and the magic Johnson
The rest of the album sounds like more traditional from these guys
God DAMN Nas left earth on Motion!
On my second listen now. Nas flow is STUPID CRAZY. This is really insane what him and Hit Boy are doing.
This is why Nas fukks with Hit Boy. No album sounds like the last. Nas is continually seeking challenges and Hit Boy is giving him diversity in a way NOBODY ELSE can. I love how sonically, they kept to the “Magic” theme. A lot of these beats feel like they were sampled from old Houdini- starring silent film scores.
Only thing i’ll say is 50 wasn’t necessary at ALL on Office Hours, dude was supposed to come with the best bars of his life but he was just a glorified hype man while Nas was snapping.
The beat switches continue to be some of the best i’ve heard. Thats been a highlight of all of the albums thus far and they keep it going here.
I KNEW What This Is All Really means was going to be amongst my favorites.
50 years old. The man is FIFTY YEARS OLD rapping like his life depends on it. Experimenting with different sounds. Sounding energetic and hungry. Gotta love it.
