Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[I'm Blackman]

That's because Nas is an Artist not just a rapper, he pushes the boundaries of creativity, sometimes it works sometimes it don't, more often than not it does. For that one off joint like a Braveheart Party you get a Rewind, Summer On Smash you get a Black Bond, Jarreau of Rap you get a Queens Wolf. Making of the Perfect bytch you get a Sekou Story.

Black bond is ridiculously good

Eminem Gushes Over Nas' 'Illmatic': 'That Album Had Me In A Slump'

Eminem recently discussed Nas' seminal debut album, 'Illmatic,' and how taken aback he was when it first came out: 'That album had me in a slump.'

hiphopdx.com

Eminem talking about rhyme schemes again.

I'm convinced that's all he hears whenever he listens to music. When The Chronic comes on, he's probably taking notes on Dre's cadences and flow patterns. "See, in the fourth bar, Dre was talking about that dude having a gap tooth so his dikk would fit inside. Like......he was using imagery, and that line connected to what he had just said earlier. Nobody was doing that in 1992. "

This tracklist shows me there's going to be a KD4

Off the names alone.
I'm obviously curious about the Nas/50 office hours.
I'm hoping it's grimey, new York sounding.

Nas always starts off with something nasty, so the intro and abracadabra I'm excited for.

Can't lie, I miss copping CDs and tapes.
sitting in the car, listening when it first comes on and looking at the cover art... reading the notes and credits

Why are so many 90s classics charting that high though? Summertime vibes ?

Who ever would’ve thought we’d be getting a golden era of Nas albums the last few years. fukking insane.

Twenty trucks at the awards, we be moving so crazy / I don't buy into the hype, I'm in the studio lately

He told y'all he was in rare form. He ain't playing out here. It's not a game

Nas making a case for GOAT ….

Fukk rolling stone

Case been made

Pardon the haters, it's his billi behavior / If they don't say he the GOAT, that's just silly behavior

Nas and Hit Boy make Magic
Like Shaq and Penny on the Magic
Cementing the GOAT status
Only a seldom, select few have it
They ain't give it to him. He had to reach out and grab it

Yo, If they continue the 5 heartbeats theme and sample Big red my office hours line as the intro…Then talk about labels treatment of artist

Probably people listening to the classics in preparation. I do that often myself

2 of those are his all timers. Both those he can tour the world eat comfortably for life. The rest maybe it's just people playing catch up. I Am to me has always been his accessible album imo. There's enough core for his base & enough that females to rock with
