Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[ArchStanton]

I said it was random

I done had a lot of people in my family pass recently so I think of some weird shyt around death

I lost my dad, two uncles, an aunt, and a brother-in-law last year. I wasn't close to all of them but that does put weird thoughts in your head and make you feel your mortality so I will 100% back you up on this.

Def feels like a button has been pushed for this release, compared to the others outside of KD2. Wonder if Orchard/Sony is involved again?

they never stopped.

11 songs seems short but it’s still new music so guess we can’t complain that much

Theres a lot of classic albums, even outside and apart from Illmatic, that have 11-12 tracks

That usually is the sweet spot for great to iconic hip hop albums

I feel like 50 not saying too much about it because he know it’s about to go crazy. Wouldn’t be surprised if they got a video for it. Either thats The strategy or he just didn’t like how the song came out….

 

[Ziggiy]

I wonder if the "intro" will be an actual song.

He’s gonna make up for not rapping over The Genesis all those years ago…

Rolling Stone is notoriously bipolar and like others have said, their view is largely dependent on the writer. But it's always and forever fukk Pitchfork, that website is trash.

I’ve been racking my brain about the Bokeem Woodbine name drop. Has he made any magic based movies or tv shows? All I remember him in is hood dramas and as the rapist doctor in City Of Angels

He was Cleon in Dead Presidents too. He was just crazy as catshyt tho
