Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Mike Wins]

"Back then, we charted with the CDs and tapes
And I still come out the field, you either scrape or get scraped
You either in and out, you rolling or you just in the way
What this all really means, I had to reload the DRAC'
Eighty years old, I'm stil gon have a chain, a kilo it weigh
Speedos on the beach, my belly out when I land in Capri
Wearing black owned designer
Math on my mind
It's a while before I get there, almost passed forty-nine
I be on the block easy, with a glass full of wine
Red Chrome Hearts lenses to see I'm in my third prime
The Q-U double E-N-S
Y'all gon need some EMS when we drop this, and that's a bet"

I think it’s because Kanye said Nas can’t do double time flow on drink champs and some probably ran with that narrative

Yes

50 Cent Money, Power, Respect I’m calling it. Magic 2 got me in that mood. @LieutenantDan

Listened to this with a cup sipping and driving last night and was a little letdown…second listen on the way to work and this shyt is crazy!!! Even the 50 feature sounds better on the second and third listen. I wasn’t a big fan of Earvin Magic Johnson, that shyt goes hard as fukk now. Looking forward to listening to this on the way to Happy Hour after work and again while little buzzed later tonight. We all have different opinions and tastes, but Nas and Hit have done it again, every album had a different vibe and I love it.

I see why dude on Reddit said to spin it a few times and let it sink in, before judging the album.

This shyt is dope. Nas and Ran have had the most impressive runs in hip hop over the last few years IMO.

Nas is on point and sharp as ever. Some of the production on this is meh, sequencing doesn't seem to flow like the others either.

I thought the Nasir reactions were way worse.
Most of the opinions on here range from great to ehhh.

Nasir reactions were noticeably worse outside this website though. TheColi is usually more positive on Nas than other places, that seems to be an exception as of now.

Just done my 1st listen, solid not as good as magic 1 or kd3. Fave songs so far are abracadabra, office hours and what this all really means.

Motion and Office Hours are

Nas and Elzhi sound so much alike vocally but rap’s different as well
