Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Left.A1]

Nas and Mega just had a collaboration over an Alchemist beat. Considering all the fan fare Alchemist has here. Ya'll don't even talk about "Glorious".

If he did an album with Alchemist you'd see a lot of em complaining about too many drumless beats and Alchemist not being in 2000-2002 mode

We seen it too many times. LT2 had two tracks a piece with RZA and Pete Rock, how many of them was bigging up those songs and supporting the project? Same with the Premier track last year

The Premier track last year was ass though, it was very mid.

But, if Primo laced Nas with an album of bangers like "Memory Lane", "Nas is Like", or "2nd Childhood" then we talkin' something different.

I'm trying to rep all the Nas fans in this thread.

Escobar season has returned.

Office Hours is straight. It's 50 Cent's verse that hampers the song.

Doesn’t hamper it for me I’m ok with it especially the Queens shyt talking

I like this album a lot but also after 5 joints I wouldn't mind Nas working with another producer

what? since when?

Nas fans like and appreciate Nas albums period.

Nas haters are the ones who keep saying "Nas is the worst beat selector ever". not the fans.

wtf you mean since when nas literally has acknowledged in his own raps that fans complain about his beats constantly …literally raps this on “Wu for the children” -

“The Nas enthusiast thinking they know what’s best for me more than I know what’s best for me no rest for me”

…like literally said that out of his own mouth …what universe is your ass living in?

Good to see Nas out there having fun though, he seems rejuvenated. After not releasing any music from 2012 to pretty much 2020 when KD1 came out, it seems like hes' over the divorce ish and court ish and personal issues and just out here having fun with Hit Boy and his crew.

Random off topic the only shyt I see constantly ahead of Eminem on the ITunes chart is Tupac Greatest Hits

 

[Life is Good]

NAS & HITBOY BLENED KD & MAGIC WELL WITH MAGIC2!

The odds of Premier cooking up beats like that in 2023 are not good

True, it is, Im just sayin if Primo really got in his bag I'm sure he's still capable to crank out a few bangers.

Magic 2 is ok, but i think now I'd like to see Nas work with some different producers again after working with Hit the last 3 years.
