Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

3 days after my b-day

LMAO I hadn't even noticed the magician, ok so it's confirmed Magic 2 dropping brothers

 

[Ziggiy]

That dude never been wrong so trusting that.

Yep he knew Lost Tapes 2 was coming, Magic and KD3 amongst other things

 

[HNIC973]

Around July 18th always expect a Nas album

 

[DoubleClutch]

He never gonna top the 94-96 era or dropping Stillmatic, Lost Tapes and God's Son in under a year

If someone don't like Hit-Boy beats that's cool I ain't gonna argue with them about personal taste

More important thing is Hit-Boy can speak Nas language, get him to lock in. If Nas spitting like he was on Magic, I don't give a damn who making the beats. What he doing right now is unprecedented for a rapper his age. Seemed like he was winding down his career after LIG, this been a great time to be a fan compared to 2013-2019

You could argue Kanye revived NAS career

Guys, the magician is supposed to be Merlin, name of the album is Excalibur like I've said before...

Greatest sword [pause], pen in the history of the game

Pen is mightier than...

Kings theme play me an...



BTW joking but I'd fancy a record called that from Nas, just sound dope

You could say that but it still benefited him just off the hype

He reintroduced NAS a new fan base and gave him momentum and cool factor again

Nas been on a roll since

Jesus fuvkin xcrist

How I wish Jerry Rawlings could line all y'all up

Covid might have something to say about that.

Nas has the same exact fans before and after that album

 

[LOST IN THE SAUCE]

If he's doing another album in the vibe of Magic this is going to be special

I wonder who the collab is that the reddit guy was hinting at? I hate the wait.

 

[NoHalfWay]

I shoulda trademarked the STILLmagic name, I see y’all coli nikkas using my shyt

Lmao, nah fr tho. I hope Nas uses the title

I'm not even a 9th guy anymore but he's been doing stuff like Store Run for 20 years fam. Composure is literally a (sample pack) horn over drums. Ugly is a 70s soul sample loop. The Cure has another sample pack horn before the beat switch into a reworked beat beat and haunting vocal sample. All these beats are dope. Surely we can say "I like Nas and Hit Boy" without going into the weird stan shyt of "Hit Boy is doing things no one else can so stop mentioning other producers who aren't as good." All of that stuff can be done by other producers. Would Premo be able to do a trap beat? No. Does that say anything about Premo? Of course not.

I thought Composure was a James Brown sample?

 

[Supa]

I ain’t taking shyt personal

We have an upcoming project co produced by both of them, let’s see who has the better pack on the album

We don't even have to wait.

Benny got a ton of material with Alc and a lot of it is his best work. The album Hit Boy did with Benny came and went. Nothing on there is touching a song like Broken bottles or anything Alc did on Tana Talk 4.

Alc's status as one of the GOATs is solidified. Don't make it a competition when there isn't any.
