Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[ADP]

48 hours to go my colibrez

in anticipation of the new one im running through the goat discog and i may be hallucinating but i thought on nysom2 when he says "fuuc you, we run you out of ny, YOU CAN'T LIVE" sounds to me his voice tone on the last part is similar to the double humped one when he was asking dumb questions

Tried to find something online but couldnt find anything, was that a sub diss or im streching bobbito ???

"You/They can't live" is just a common NY phrase meaning nigs can't hustle/eat anymore, they can't live. Stretch.

"I been doin this since we was kids / and all you other nikkas gotta ask if you could live" is a def sub tho, lol, and that's what? 98-99? Prodigy was tee'ing off on Jay-z early and often man, he kinda asked for that Summerjam screen, lol. Salute to P

Now I fux with "The Tide". But yeah, I don't want that on there either, lol. I hate when rappers throw shyt we already played out months and months ago on their new albums...I can't be the only one. As a big Nas fan who appreciates when he drops, I want a whole album of fresh shyt out the oven to enjoy.

It's been less than a year since the last release though. Nas and Hit can work pretty fast, but even they have limits. This'll be ~30 minutes of new content with one of the collabs being the bonus track. (50 probably gets regular placement since we haven't heard that collab yet).

Even the KD3 bonus track was my least favorite on the album, but I ended up enjoying the rest so much that it didn't really matter.

I don’t fukk with none of the bonus cuts. Spicy, Till My Last Breath. The joint with 21. I dont give a fukk though. I just don’t put em on my playlist. The rest of the albums is still classic to me though.

I would have preferred if EPMD part 2 was a bonus cut cause I don’t fukk with that joint either. The fukk was Eminem doing on there? I just swapped it out for the first EPMD track.

21s not on there. 50 was rumored and think even hinted at it a while ago. This reddit nikka is talking ish. He'd name one track or could have given the initials of the track names for credibility. He guessed 50 but that was pretty much known. What else the nikka got right?

 

[semicko82]

Hopefully they release it 9am Friday... we too old to stay up to midnight.

I’m playing the old albums now to get hype for Magic 2.

‘they both was spitting but timbaland was on goofy time or whoever produced that…. Haven’t heard that song in a minute completely forgot about it. Same lyrics, different production would have been fire….

Pharrell obviously produced that song.

The date it would be released, the name of the album.

Before the first Magic was surprise dropped he knew about it, was quoting lyrics from the album and revealed that it had no features.
EDIT: I forgot, he leaked the tracklist as well. He was describing the sound of every song. Album was never announced before and he knew everything about it.

Fukk that nikka and fukk you, too

The turnover between KDII and Magic was real quick. Like 4 months? Granted that was during the pandemic. It's been like 7 or 8 months since KDIII so hypothetically could be longer than 30. Not to get too ahead of myself but I wouldn't be surprised if he drops Magic 3 in the winter. He's laser focused in the zone right now. Rare form.
