Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Alexander Wiggin]

Good ranking, but IDK why this board like I Am... so much. I always felt it was below HHID/Untitled, and on par with SD/LT2.

nah. I am is hard to rate because it got some of Nas greatest highs of his career and his first real lows too. It got NYSOM 2, Hate me now, Small world, Nas is like, undying love, theses 5 tracks alone is enough to put it above the four project you mentionned after

If "Nasir" is the worst I cant respect your opinion. "Nasir" is a great piece of work. Only song I skip is "Cops Shot The Kid". Everything else go.

I put nasir at the bottom because all the other albums got at least 5 tracks way better than anything on nasir. The main problem on nasir that none of the other albums have is a mix problem and the unfinished aspect of the songs. Nasir was rushed and it sound like it. And to me that's lyrically and flow wise Nas at his weakest. When I heard Nasir, I legit thought Nas should have maybe stay in retirement cause I wasn't fan of the production but at least I thought Nas would still be sharped and for the first time it wasn't the case. Nasir was more digeastable with the videos clips and wasn't horrible, but I can't put it above any other nas release, so by default. It's a 3 album. It's his worst cover with kd3 too by the way

Spun KD 3 again for the first time in 3 months and I gotta say its closer to LIG range than I thought.

They really cooked wth the first 4 albums on this

 

[Edub]

Just gave it the whip test.

Don’t know how you can hate on this album especially if you are a Nas fan. Son was spitting his ass off on some dope ass dynamic beats.

This….how can anybody not fukk wit this, I’m not sayin every track, it’s like two I don’t need fr….but beyond that this shyt is HEAT

 

[Edub]

Some of you nikkaz are just . The man just dropped KD2, Magic, KD3 in basically a year now he needs fukking WSG to curate his albums?

Mf’s at this point feel like they gotta hate…feel like they gotta have sum to say….truth is Nas (and hit) can’t be fukked wit

 

[Tres Leches]

I might be moving at lightspeed ..

 

[spliz]

I can’t lie I been bumpin this shyt non stop. This shyt is up there y’all.

 

[Life is Good]

I give her shyt sometimes but she is extremely informative, I didn't understand how much artists truly get fukked over by these streaming services . She's broken it down I don't how many times I still don't understand

 

[Life is Good]

I can’t lie I been bumpin this shyt non stop. This shyt is up there y’all.

 

[Life is Good]

The hit boy hate is strictly due to him working with Nas. Hit Boy so versatile man. Nas brings out the suckers and haters when he drops like no other.

 

[Rayzah]

Naw y’all gotta stop calling everyone haters for not liking this album. It’s ok some of us just don’t like hit boy

These beats are very boring and even though Nas is who he is there isn’t a song on here I feel like I need to here again.

Also I hate these short ass albums.

So far KD3 and the the first magic are the only hit boy albums I played after the first weekend.

 

[Tres Leches]

Mans are gonna go back and check this album a month later and realise how wack this project actually was

once the new nas project gloss rolls off

70% of KD series was wack trap shyt

The irony of this posters user name

 

[Prolific_1011]

Flowed "like Wata" throughout the whole album.
