Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[spliz]

lyrically what songs on magic 2 do you think are better?

Slow It Down clearly. Lol

 

[spliz]

Who thinks "Slow It Down" is probably the best track on this ?

I do. It don’t even sound like this era Nas. Sound like some shyt that came out the vaults.

Was really hoping he’d do at least Magic 1 numbers but again with no interviews/music videos to push streams it is what it is.


He got MY money and its my album of the year so can’t complain about quality

Damn Man Smh

Nas fans are ungrateful honestly. That’s the truth behind all of this

No way u think Motion is lyrically good

Bleach ya ears, king

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

He did a search on Spotify for songs named Black Magic and found it and heard a neat melody.

Im cryin cuz i was actually wondering if this is what he did

I just ran back KD3. That album is incredible man. Lol

 

[JayBaldacci]

My complaint with the song isn't with Nas lyrics but with Kanye but I'd say Pistols and Slow It Down

maybe slow it down in spots, but not consistently.

Lowkey, Stillmatic is as inconsistent as I Am...the difference is though, the lows are merely "mid" while I Am's lows are straight basura, so the numerous classic songs on Stillmatic carry it to a great but flawed album.

Stillmatic is a great but great album. Ain’t shyt flaw about it.

10k more than this

You just compared nas to rich the kid

Stillmatic is a great but great album. Ain’t shyt flaw about it.

Smokin' and My Country are straight up not good songs, and I've always found What Goes Around to be largely hotep babble. And even Ether and Destroy & Rebuild aren't "great" songs in a vacuum, but elevated by context and the moment. And Rules' a pretty divisive song but I love cheesy earnest shyt like that so I give it a pass...same time though I won't argue with anybody who doesn't fukk with it . But still, the highs are so high that I still think it's a strong 8.5/10 album. I Am's highs are just as high as Stillmatic but the lows are way lower and leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth

Smokin is a hood classic. I’m not even gonna entertain the Ether and Destroy and Rebuild argument. What Goes Around is a classic Nas record as well. nikka went crazy on that. Hotep babble? No way.
