Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Danie84]

My flow is the hard substance master it Bernie Grundman

....God's Son over lush production

If I didn't know better I'd think Slow Motion was an Alchemist beat

 

[Danie84]

...honestly this is NaS best video out of the KD/Magic run

 

[Danie84]

Anyone know anything about the woman dying on the train tracks on faces of death that nas mentions?


I was at a party about twenty years ago and someone threw on a pc and was showing people stuff from that old website.. Rotten. Com.. Basically a woman was crossing a railroad and was smashed into atoms by a freight train. I told them to shut that off it was bad vibes.. call me a p*ssy but I don't rock with stuff like that at all


Never forgot it though and wonder if that's the same thing nas talked bout. Have always wondered whether it was faked too as there was no reason for that camera to really be there, but only saw it once briefly

Face Of Death VHS was the Dark Web for 90s KIid who still had VCR hooked up to an illegal cable box:

Sat on this for a good while now. Im good on this one. Not gonna going to say this has even half of the replay value of the last 3, because it just doesn't for me.

I think i'm good on the lazy Carter 1, 2, 3 etc naming convention for the albums as well, but assuming the next one is KD4, I have high expectations for it.

NaS flowin over Pistols On Your Album Cover (Makavelish) and KRS-1 adlibs gives me chills

Imagine Ghost and Rae on Office Hours instead of 50

Bruh, imagine Ghost on “Motion”

…like prime Ghost tho

The way coop broke this down is a prime reason you can’t listen to Nas albums and in particular Magic 2 and dismiss it right away. Nas is rapping rapping on magic 2 and the production is great.

Man said broke the camel's back

That big stage he should've had the album drop that night

that would not be a good look at all. it's about hip hop 50 year celebration.

this is the first Nas/Hit Boy project I wasn't feelin.

 

[kes929]

This Nas and Hit Boy era is one for the books. All 5 albums are dope

Same here to an extent, I still think it's a pretty good album but yeah, feeling this the least out of all the Hitboy jawns 100%. Nas stepped it up with the bars too so it's really wild that the music didn't step up with him.

Albums are getting redundant imo, that's why I wanted him to go in with some different producers...get some different energy/sounds poppin. Hitboy hasn't done anything wrong, just let him go sit on the bench for like 3 minutes and knock down some Gatorades and get rehydrated and all that, lol. Get some fresh legs in there. Like I said when I heard it, it's too cruise control-y, like they're on auto-pilot madd laxed, lol.

"Motion" might be my favorite song to bump out of everything they've done tho tbh, I can't ever imagine myself getting tired of playing that shyt in the gym, for real. Slow it Down is fire. Pistols is fire. Couple more dope joints.

Im surprised you don’t bump abracadabra in the gym. Perfect tone setter.

I can't stand when he does that flow man, lol. It's a good song but yeah, I'll never get used to Nas rapping like that, as much as I've tried.
