Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[ItWasWritten]

He is correct. What is the fat?

Serious interlude
I’m on fire
Beef
Till My last breath

Honestly, after Reminisce I skip everything until I get to First Time

I hate the first part of WTF SMH, wish that was 2 short snippets so I could get to the beat change

then I skip till dont shoot

Album coulda ended there in my opinion

Magic nor KD3 have any fat

This thread is making me realize just how much we overrate some older Nas albums.

it's not about overrating anything people refuse to give HB any credit which is stupid

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Ya bugging still talking about producers and dissing each other for which songs ya prefer.. what I enjoy even more during this series is the music he makes for all his different fans….. yet ya diss each other for what type of songs ya prefer when he feeds all of us each time.. ya chill out a little and let it be ok to give opinions. Ya that enjoyed magic 2 more than magic 1…. No beef. It’s cool. But see who the majority enjoyed more…. And let it be..instead of quick to diss and get in ya feelings..

by the way.. ya know what to do for your next post…. Play this in the background while you post your next one on this thread….




edit: ya talk about his growth and how it’s good seeing him grow and talk about being real fans like ya the only type but don’t mimic the way he is at all cuz he damn sure don’t act the way some of ya do at all…. So which is it….

Yeah, all of those are better than Smokin', let alone My Country. I don't even like the Mets anthem like that and I know it's better than that track.

No we don’t overrate any of Nas older albums. He has fire older albums and fire newer albums. It is what it is.

I’m not slighting the album

I think it’s the best of the collabs but those songs I don’t really go back to to

 

[madness]

I could definitely hear “Motion” on a video game (especially Madden or 2K) or movie soundtrack in the future

You think Nas and Hit should still drop something end of this year or hold off and turn to next year?

I like the album but it’s raised some fatigue for some listeners

They've created a standard. If they got fire drop it. If they don't hold off. If it's a winter album I have no doubt that it'll be heat.

"Beef" is skippable?

 

[Mike the Executioner]

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.

Stillmatic only has one horrible song, and it might as well not even exist. The "lesser" songs ("My Country," "Smokin'," "Rule," "The Flyest") aren't even mediocre. The worst you can say about them is they're solid. The rest are either classic or great.

I Am... has some genuinely bad songs that aren't worth listening to. Stillmatic is an all-time classic. An 8.5/10 album can't be that inconsistent.

 

[up in here]

Firstly, any of y’all hating on Smokin’ is buggin. That track is a stone cold classic. Stillmatic has no skips. It’s a 5 mic front to back.

Second, the idea of trimming KD/Magic albums down is foolish because some of tracks some folks love others would cut. For example, I’m cutting Blue Benz, Death Row East, Store Run, Ugly and Wave Gods but to some people those are the best tracks in the whole run. But I’m keeping Ultra Black, 10 Points, 40 Side, No Phony Love, Earving Magic Johnson, but I know some people would cut those tracks.

The great thing about this run is there’s more than enough to make your own 5 mic playlist.

Also, I’m not cutting nothing from KD3.
