Magic Series got some fire covers. We use to analyze all the covers back in the day. Dudes had full breakdowns too, lol. I definitely see the symbolism of Young NaS/Older NaS on Magic 2 cover. He is turning 50 this year. Also been in the Game for Decades.

do old streams of a song count towards album sales if added to the album?

I assumed it would only count streams from the day album released onwards. But it seems some previous streams added?

If that’s case then makes sense to have as a bonus track to help album in the charts. But I don’t know shyt about it and just did some Googling so May be completely wrong

I think they count towards overall sales but NOT the first week numbers

He leaked that Em was on EPMD 2

He leaked the first Magic a week beforehand and knew it was 9 tracks

He leaked the KD3 tracklisting, the fact that it had no features and the opening bars to Ghetto Reporter

He knew Magic 2 was coming two weeks ago. Title and all.


That redditor is the most legit leaker i’ve ever seen. EVERYTHING he’s said has been true so far.
He was also leaking a few lyrics from KD3.

"KD3 goes harder than all of them" and "no beef with rivals they playing Ether on Tidal" were on his reddit a few days before the album came.

My only beef with the 21Savage track is....let Nas street team tell it and Nas and his camp are mad focused on STREAMS. Having an old track, even if remixed, goes, just like ever other Nas move that we pointed out, directly AGAINST this idea that streams are his top priority.

So I don't want to get lectured in here again about how streams work and how Nas fans didn't show up, for a track that we streamed months ago.

Can damn near guarantee that if it's on there, it'll be my least played track. First because it's 21 Savage, second because I simply know it (and am cool with it, don't love it though).
