Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[Left.A1]

Jodeci Member and Japanese Soul Bar two of my favorites, I love when Nas is on that soul tip.

Jodeci member straight up sounds like some 2005 Little Brother/ 9th Wonder ish

HitBoy has shown a great amount of stylistic diversity on these projects

 

[Sad Bunny]

off the first listen, this is better than KD3, this one is just more cohesive and mixed a lot better than magic 2. Based on true events 1 & 2 alone make this a CLASSIC Nas album. Thats something i've been missing from Nas, wishing he'd get more into storytelling cuz when he gets in his story bag, it's like Scorsese directing a movie knowing what time it is

I might have to add as a Nas stan, i think Wayne might've gotten Nas on this one and you can tell Wayne was spittin effortlessly on this one

It’s okay. You can admit it

That was on Magic 1 and was about KD 3 (it’s on the joint Ugly)
But I remember earlier this year when news came that 50 was working with him he thought it was for a KD 4 but I think both knew a trilogy was more neater and with building another trilogy off Magic and how it’s like a tape they could try other things in terms of just going in

ok cool i must of misheard but u right.....but yea alot of these are more for the KD series, anyway the final product is still magic

Its just funny because Diddy did an entire promo run including performing on the VMAs and all Nas did was drop TWO IG promos

Nas outselling Diddy on iTunes

Yeah I was peeping the view count on both albums’ tracks on YouTube. Nas should debut higher than him but given the short turnaround and bundle stuff I’m not expecting a high debut. Rod Wave will definitely do the big first week numbers cause kids love him and there’s a few rock and pop acts but support nevertheless

 

[Neuromancer]

Based on a true story is where the album goes nuts.

Diddy's listening to Nas' album over his own.

Took me till the Stoute line that I realized you were just spitballing

[Neuromancer]

Who are the Baton Rogue dudes Nas was talking about? He's mentioned his excursions to the South before in Get Down. Is it the same people?
