Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Conscious Pilot]

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

Escobar season has returned.

Can’t rep you back yet but I will eventually brother

Tough people last, tough times don't

Same way I feel

Edit: I know the 21 Savage joint bothers a lot of cats. Doesn’t bother me

That song rings off as well. The only boom bappers just don’t like modern music or 21 savage

After hearing this then going back to the KD series I need something sonically better. The beauty of those albums is the combination of how lyrical it is along with really good production. Griselda is still sonically the best doing it now, I wouldn’t mind if Nas uses something like that. Didn’t Dave East get Westside to produce his album?

What Griselda songs ringing off right now? I would love to know

I'd like it more if it was just a solo for 21. He's so clearly outclassed by Nas on that track that it just ends up sticking out.

I’m still listening to their old stuff. Or maybe Nas should tap in with the Life Is Good production team. That was a good album too.

 

[Ill-Mind]

That Bokeem Woodbine is on repeat

 

[No Homo]

Def the worst out of the Hitboy albums.

That collab might’ve ran its course

Yeah i think the peak was KD2 for me and magic was just as good too...not too crazy about this one...even kd3 i liked first few spins but havent really gone back to it since the week it dropped.

Although life is good is dope to

I hate hitboy production so much. These new school beats aren't for Nas. Motion is the first song I can sit through. I really hate this new money oriented Nas.

Your IQ ain't above 11

And I can say that confidently

Back when data was 50 cents a minute, you would've thought twice before posting this bullshyt

Trust the hate is mutual

 

[Ziggiy]

I know I didn't just read a few of y'all meatballs saying Nas shoulda got 9th fukking Wonder for this shyt

Nas “fans” hellbent on bringing down a grammy winning partnership for a man whose production with said artist they didn’t stream 4 years ago

[kes929]

F**** if Nas should go on a feature run too. He is on fire. Nas is so far ahead at this point

 

[King Karim]

This is pretty dope off the initial few listens. I DO LIKE what 50 did on this album. I thought his verse was dope and he brought new energy to the track.

Nas albums are like Kendrick albums -- you have to sit down and digest them to a certain degree. I thought Magic 1 was "cool" at first but the more i sat on it, i fell in love with it...just like Damn and Morale/Big Steppers. Neither Artist relies on beats and hooks to carry their projects.

Abracadabra, Pistols on Your Album Cover, Black Magic is vintage Nas and Slow it Down makes you bawl up your face real ugly and bob your head to it - I didn't want that song to end.

I really think Hit Boy A&R these albums that they do together and Nas just focuses more on going in the booth and doing what he does best, which is a great thing.

Hit Boy will go down in history and Nas' #1 Producer and his best Producer which is ironic being he from California.

Nas giving Rappers the blueprint of how to make Adult Contemporary Hip Hop that correlates with your age when you get up their in age and have made the money and you don't have the pressure of big labels and album sales making you compromise your art.

 

[Canada Goose]

Just finished listening, it's alright. KD1 and Magic 1 are still my Nas/Hit Boy albums.


Am I the only one that thinks 50 verse on Office hours was awful? Was looking forward to that song the most because of the 50 feature.


Haven't read the thread but the Booth hates 50 so they gotta be pissed he's the only feature (the 21 salvage song is a bonus track that we already heard).

 

[MikeStamina]

I'm 25. I got to skip all the shytty Nas songs he may have made in the 90's and pick up the ones I liked.

No wonder....
