This. Plus game level name drops of rappers actors and products and 3 word hooks

Not gonna lie I have noticed Nas dropping names a lot more both rappers and non rappers in the last few albums. Obviously Nas has always mentioned famous people but particularly noticed it on Magic 2. Although most are shout outs to legends which may be in reference to 50 year anniversary

How I currently have it:

1. Magic
2. KD3
3. KD2
4. KD1
5. Magic 2

Magic 2 more cohesive to me than KD1 (I got a few skips on KD1 these days a lot of the time if not in the mood) and in terms of rapping Nas vastly better. But KD1 still got highs I don’t think Magic 2 reaches like car 85, the cure

Having said that I’m not knocking Magic 2. It’s a really good project but yeh I can’t put it above any of the others so far just yet. Give it few more months and I think could go above KD1.

his manz Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels was particularly hilarious

Illmatic
IWW
Lost Tapes 1
Stillmatic
LIG
Magic
KD3
GS
KD2
I Am
Distant Relatives (probably should be top 10)
Magic 2
KD1
Untitled
Nastradmus
LT2
SD
HHID
Nasir
The Firm & QB Finest not included he's only on a few songs
My girl suggested putting Magic over LIG I can't do it :damn:
LIG was about 3-4 songs away from being in Nas top 3, if a few tracks were swapped out with deluxe edition songs. Still a great album

Where’s The Love & Trust deserved spots on the regular disk. Roses & The Black Bond too tbh

How do y’all not like abracadabra??? That song is sonically crazyy. Nas floated on that joint

I enjoy it while hitting the gym.. bopping my head in between sets. Love it. He definitely floated…then I like office hours right after.. goes perfect in the gym back to back…. but my goodness motion, bokeem, and emj back to back to back in the whip is retarded and what this all really means definitely give you that good New York summer vibe..

GTA
5. KD1
4. Magic 2
3. KD2
2. Magic
1. KD3

The only one of these albums I struggle to get through is KD1 I like about 6 tracks on that album. Magic 2 is the bar moving forward.

:ahh:
