Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[ItWasWritten]

It’s pretty funny to me that some Nas Stans in here poke fun at “stuck in the 90’s” nikkaz

Yet their fav/best tracks on the album are boom-bap inspired

nikkas just be saying anything in here

We love boom bap Nas. We are just open minded to other sounds, which some aren’t.

I recall everybody loving Nas Album Done


I recall tremendous praise for Life is Good

Magic and KD3 for sure 2 modern day classics. All classics aren’t created equal. Albums like illmatic, it was written, and stillmatic are god level. Also you can want what you want, but Nas is who he is so he can work with whatever producer he wants.

Y'all cats throw around the word Classic to easy, I'll take "Life Is Good" over all 5 of these joints

Whether dudes want to admit it or not that "old dusty 90's boom bap heads" is still apart of the base. You got to drag in em somehow

They not gonna support new music though so it don't matter

The highest streaming songs from this era are the ones with younger guests. One Mic One Gun got 28 million Spotify stream, Spicy got 28 million, Wave Gods got 24 million

The Premier track from last year got 1.3 million

The stuck in the 90s crowd will still go to shows but they'd go if LIG was his last album. They ain't streaming or buying vinyls anyway. Nas best off just doing what he feel like doing, without overly catering to anyone either direction

No other top tier rapper doing boom bap in 2023.

That’s you. I’m not mad the the life is good love. I love that album too. I’m not comparing the albums. Different themes different time in his career. That’s the problem. Instead of listening to each album individually, you try to compare to others.

KD3 is just as good as Life is Good.

I'm just talking about as a body of work "Life Is Good" is better than all 5 of these recent joints, my main point in this back and forth is you saying Nas has 2 recent classics and I disagree, and I think if you was being totally honest you don't think none of these new joints are classics, that's why you slid the "modern day" classic in there. It's all good bro, we can both agree Nas is the Goat.

No I just don’t think classics are looked at the same as they used to be. People are less likely to call something a classic as opposed to the older albums. I see Life is Good, KD3, Magic all on the same level. Kd1 a notch below and Magic 2 is new.

Plug on Station Head just gave A HEAVY hint something else is coming this year


She also said a music video for Magic 2 has already been shot
