Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Ty-Fife]

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.

Nope, I think One Way Flight, War Paint and Thank God I Made It are a couple of Benny’s best tracks. And I could easily do the same shyt with tracks off the KD series and Hit Boy for Nas.

StillMagic!!?!!??

Breh if we getting Magic 2 then

What did we do to deserve this run from the GOAT

 

[MikeStamina]

You could argue Kanye revived NAS career

I think we can all go to bed now...
Goodnight y'all

 

[Avisible Man]

But to now have 5 albums from 2020 to 2023 and likely even more

5 albums in 4 years, nikka... I can divide.

That ain’t happening. Nas said the Sony vaults are STAYING vaulted

We gon call up Killa to run up in the Sony building and smack grown folks around like they were only children

If it is a Magic vibe album a 50 feature makes sense QB Southside connection

50 Cent was Bravehearted. We ride to the grave depart us

 

[head shots101]

Albums are released on Fridays.

Singles too

I kno

 

[MikeStamina]

what y’all thinkin? New album incoming?

The Sun is reporting Nasir Jones will be named the new 007 . The rumor is the new movie will be shot in NY to go with the 50yrs of hip hop theme

Story still developing....

Benny’s best selling album and most successful is with Hit Boy. Stop the lies.

Burden of Proof did 19,000 first week. Tana Talk 4 did 20,000. Benny's only RIAA certification and only Hot 100 entry is Johnny P's Caddy which Alchemist produced.

TT4 also debuted higher:

The album, in fact, was so good that it earned Benny his very highest-ever position on the Billboard charts, peaking at No. 22 on the Billboard 200.

Plugs 2 was produced by Harry Fraud and did just around the same first week sales (18,000) as Benny and Hit Boy so no he didn't boost his sales like you're pretending he did.

Nope, I think One Way Flight, War Paint and Thank God I Made It are a couple of Benny’s best tracks. And I could easily do the same shyt with tracks off the KD series and Hit Boy for Nas.

Tana Talk 3, 4 and Plugs 1 always rank ahead of Burden of Proof. Alchemist is a big part of the Griselda sound.

Broken Bottles and Rubberbands and Weight>>≥>

HIt Boy's a better fit for Nas than Griselda.

Like I said I’m waiting for the Def Jam album to see who has the better pack in 2023 and ain’t trynna derail this thread.

Curious what's gonna happen with the Preemo/Swizz producer releases as I thought these will speed up as the 50th approaches...

Think they were meant to be around 10 of them, they haven't been amazing so far but would still like for mass appeal to stick to the original script.

With a possible new Nas album that would make it more difficult.

The hip hop 50th events make me question a bit whether we're getting a brand new full album but sure hope so...

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Came into this hyped with so many pages since I last was on thinking something dropped only to see a poster in here having a mental break down?

Benny's Hit Boy album did 20k first week. Tana Talk 4 did 20k first week, two years later, with his biggest single. The "came and went" argument can't be used in this case IMO.

I'd also say to me personally, that Hit Boy album is far better than Tana Talk 4.

Nas ain’t going to clear out his IG with only one cryptic post for nothing less than an album. Doesn’t mean we won’t still get the Hip Hop 50 compilations they weren’t meant to ALL be released this year. They’re supposed to be spread out over the course of three years and I think the last one is meant to coincide with the opening of the Hip Hop museum

Won’t lie. I’m even more hyped of the thought of magic 2 or stillmagic
