nothing else needs to be said about why he keeps locking in with HB. If don't understand you probably never will:manny:
They just click. It's effortless. Laid back and they just work hard. No egos with each other. Lots of trust. Nas might never stop. I can't think of a more prolific time in any artist's career of any genre. Who puts out this much work? Mixtape rappers from the 2000s? Lil Wayne had a run of nonstop work in the mid 2000s. It's awesome. I don't see them slowing down. Magic 3 is already underway.

I guess no tracklist release, looks like we're getting it in real time...makes it doper actually, more mystery, builds anticipation crazy.

For all #'s watching ass dudes he's on a list with people who probably double the amount of "hits" he does. He checks the boxes that's why he is among the GOATS. That shyt is impressive he did it

:wow: :salute:

KD3 and Magic are my faves of the 4... I think he gets better with every release to be honest.
Name another major to have done with Nas and Hitboy's been doing? They're basically their own group if you think about it. Eric B and Rakim, Gangstarr, Mobb Deep. They're groups in a similar vein. Producer/Rapper group.

And they got it wrong. NaS actually has 4 Multi-Platinum Albums so he's with Outkast.

Illmatic 2x Platinum
It Was Written 3x Platinum
I Am 2x Platinum
Stillmatic 2x Platinum (This joint been Double since back in 2002)

The reason he's on these Historic Sales Charts without all these #1 singles are because people want NaS's body of work. It's a different type of audience. We aren't looking only for singles.

Wild thing is I haven't received an email or anything to promote this, but did get notified on a Nasir anniversary collection a month or so ago. Nas, if you really do care about streaming use your mailing lists!
