Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Prolific_1011]

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.

Seems like Nas and Hit did you a favor since you don't like the approach they took for this album, anyways.

10-11 tracks is not uncommon. Lupe's and Jay's last albums are 10 tracks in length. Nas just dropped 17 tracks with KD3, so it's unreasonable to expect dude to drop another 15+ track LP in such a short span.

Weird thing I noticed, could be the ganja talking but:

Earvin "Magic" Johnson wore #32 for the "Showtime" Lakers.

Main Source - Breaking Atoms was released on July 23 1991

Today is the 32'nd anniversary of Breaking Atoms, the first time people heard Nas aka the Source

32 is associated with creativity and spiritual growth, however on both covers of either Magic album his image is reflected

Today s the 23'rd day 23 is important in many cultures and the mirror of 32, it is also the number of the GOAT.

Could there be another round in the chamber?

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 1, 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



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

The Nasir album cover isn’t his “worst”. I honestly think its Nastradamus. I love the CONCEPT of boy, man, king, prophet but after the epicness of the I am cover just throwing a hoodie over him and saying “look like you did on It Was Written” was a lazy payoff. They could have done a MUCH better job with that one

That Ganja must be next level…

No idea, these streaming rules so goofy. I bought the album on Amazon and listening on Tidal so pretty sure I'm good

That's a good man
Talking with his wallet....

Majority of the complaining mofos got their shyt off YouTube. $10.81 been known to break budgets

Let them tell it

completly agree, they should have stopped the project cover concept with iam and yep nastradamus cover wasn't good either, I still don't put it over nasir and kd3 for the worst cover tho. Nasir cover was basically kanye tooking a picture from google image lol

these cover would have been much better for respectively nastradamus and kd3

The Hit-Boy hate makes no sense.

Over the past three years Nas and Hitboy gave us 64 tracks of straight heat. That’s insane. Especially when we talking about Nas who used to drop an album every couple of years.

Even if you don’t fukk with everything, surely out of those 64 songs you have enough to put together a dope album length playlist of your own choosing.
