That Magic 3 we getting in the winter will be crazy! Lol Hit got praises for KD2 and was still mad off a few tweets and that's how we got Magic. This is there first project where his beats are being critiqued. I know he's about to get right back in the lab and cook up that crack.

Yea that’s one thing bout Hit. nikka pay attention. Lol
Yep he sees everything.. He's probably in this thread now.. More Speechless, More 40-16 Buildings and Thuns are on the way.
I wasn't crazy about this album but I know what's about to come. Hit just got his first taste of how difficult it could be to work with Nas. Nas is held to a different standard. Hit is great at what he does so he'll bounce back.
Bro, you don’t got Stillmatic Intro top 30? That shyt is top 20 for me, might be top 15, that is one of the greatest rap songs ever in general imo. You don’t got Ether in there!? All things considered…the effect it had and all that? Wow. I guess you could argue out 2nd Childhood…that actually sounds like a joint that coulda been on one of these Hit albums…he’s got a joint kinda like that on a few of these albums…none as amazing as 2nd Childhood tho…and that joint was after them 3 in a row you just mentioned,I dunno about that. Im not saying your wrong. I'd have to really give that some thought. Your da man, Rewind and One Mic are absolutely top 30s. ( them joints were all back to back too
, that was a 4-piece of classics in a row. Stillmatic is nuts.
Are they being criticized anywhere outside the Coli though? There's always gonna be some negative responses but general reception I seen in other places been very positive
Look at the top rap songs on Billboard in 2022-2023. You got Kodak, Jack Harlow, Drake, Doja, Uzi, Lil Baby, Gunna, Nicki, Future, Meg, Durk, etc. All of these artists have a predominantly young fan base and a large amount of females. High school kids aren't thinking about Nas.
Just look at the song you think was a potential hit. Brunch on Sundays isn't similar to 95% of the songs on the chart. That song for the ladies with the sung hook ain't the go to for a hit in this day and age. It's hasn't been for a while so I don't know why you think it's modern. Pushin P or Super Gremlin is the type of shyt that charts and that's not what Nas does. He's not getting played in clubs and if he did luck up and land a hit those people will not come back to check for the next album. Look at the 21 song. He got some buzz and streams and it didn't amount to much for the album.
All that "I got hits but the radio just wouldn't play them" is nonsense. Songs can go viral before radio gets to it or they'll stream heavy if it has the audience.
Just accept that Nas isn't a hit making artist at this stage of his career. He's not building a new audience at 49 years old.

Fukk all this I need a Life is Good 2
But I'm glad he found his rhythm after that Kanye album
I like this one more than the Kings diseases

Album is getting 90% high praise and 10% low praise from what I’m seeing. Way more high praise than low praise. I think that more so boils down to those that don’t like Nas doing the abracadabra, black Magic Songs. Although I personally like when he mixes it up. Some don’t
I'm not mad at anyone who likes some of the HB albums over Stillmatic. Nas rapping was elite level on Stillmatic but you can definitely make the argument that the production on the HB albums is more consistent overall. 
they had fun with this one
pleasantly mid. really like the last couple songs.
that wasn't 50 that was Scar Lip.
Motion song corny as hell. that hook and especially with that bum ass panda dunk reference
one my more funnier, more entertaining things about these Nas x HitBoy albums because they are working so much is you'll get these random throwaway lines or verses of Nas just saying anything and describing things.. sometime it sounds cool as hell, sometimes it sounds awkward. feel like it was more noticeable on here

Sinister is a system
Bruh just like yall saying this shyt is hitting more after each listen. I feel like the hate for Hit Boy is like a scorned ex mad at Nas new regular girl thats giving him that motivation bringing out his best when all the broads u think he should be dealing with he aint even thinking about.
What it all really means is my favorite track still from 1st listen but everthing knocks

Yea Stillmatic intro is there. Nas just has soo many great songs. I don't think Ether is there. A all time great diss song but not even in Nas's top 50 songs. 2nd Childhood is great but not top 30 in my opinion. But yea Stillmatics strong moments are absolutely insane.Bro, you don’t got Stillmatic Intro top 30?
