I honestly like something about every single song from first listen. The samples on this are crazy. "Superhero Status", "I Love This Feeling", "Never Die", "Pretty Young Girl", "Based on True Events 1 AND 2", "Blue Bentley", "Sitting with My thoughts", "Jodeci Member", "Japanese Soul Bar". Damn, it's just so consistent.
Hell yeah all the producers people wanted Nas work with Hit gave him that sound throughout the both series.
MC Serch never owned the Masters to Illmatic. He’s always said he owned a small part of the Publishing. If i’m not mistaken it was like 5-10% and Nas owned the rest. Serch sold his ownership last year and said that he offered it to Nas first but that those rights would revert back to Nas anyway in the next 5 years so Nas told him “get your money”.
Last I heard Nas was actively trying to buy his Masters from Sony/Columbia but the plug chick said Sony was NEVER selling them because every time Nas puts out a new album the back catalog spikes in sales. But if the 30 year rule kicks in this year then presumably the illmatic Masters are now his and in 3 more years he’ll get the It Was Written rights
That is fukking insane.
I won’t even say I told y’all nikkas.
But, I told you doubters. Shout out to Hit.

He does this every time. Son is a cornball.
Coop and Mike about to go live in 30 mins. I KNOW Coop about to go ham lmao
Couple notes/questions here :
- Was I the only one who was a little nervous when I pressed play and was totally relieved when the bass kicked in at 0'30 on Fever?
- I always get tricked on I Love This Feeling "I just keep it calm, watching it all play... Out" each fukking time I hear it as Ouch from Bokheem Woodbine
- Don't y'all get Book Of Rhymes vibes on Speechless 2? Like he's just throwing in the craziest random bars without much connection

I don't know why people can't accept that hitboy's beats just feel dead. Even his best ones lose some points because the mixing is always so bad. They feel like some 9th wonder barebone throwaways from early 2000.
He came better on this one but still about half the beats are kinda dull. TSK and No Tears are perfect examples. Just incredibly boring and dull synth beats. But Nas stans will call them classics just because they're on a Nas album. Shoulda just hit up metro booming or Travis Scott if he wanted these types of beats. At least Nas finally gave Hitboy his release papers. Time to work with some real heavy hitters now.
Not gonna have time to give this a real listen, digest the bars and all that until the weekend. But off one listen this a big step up from Magic 2. This might end up near the top of the series though. Liked this better than KD3 and M2 first time through.
