Wayne spit his ass off

Confirmed

Wayne spit his ass off

Challenging for best feature in the series

Nah.

AZ and Lauryn competing for that one.

I'd put Mega, EPMD, ASAP and Charlie Wilson over Wayne too.

Worrrd? Respect it…but I got Wayne with the clear best feature, he went crazy. You could argue Lauryn, she did her thing

 

[Izanami]

Strongly disagree on the storytelling point. True Story Pt 2 alone is better than any of them on KD1

The biggest issue with KD1 in general is outside of Cure and maybe 10 points there isn't enough tracks of vintage Nas flowing his ass off and blacking out.

I think we were just happy got something better than Nasir. It’s clear Nas and Hit boy were stretching on KD1 and only got better production wise and lyrically. It’s a solid 3.75/5.

I said challenging

It’s all preference and mood

He up there for me

Magic KD3 are at least a 4.5
KD2 is at minimal a 4 (so many highs could be higher)
Magic 3 is at least 4 (could be higher still early)
KD1 is a solid 3.5
Magic 2 about the same as KD1

No

4.5 would be something like Stillmatic

None of these come close to that

Magic and KD3 are right around as good as Gods Son

KD2 is inconsistent but great moments, Magic 3 is right there with it

KD1 much better than Magic 2 - besides one or 2 songs I’ll probably never listen to Magic 2 again

I still go back to several records on KD1

I think Ferg had the best feature. Fivio or Em were the worst IMO

 

[ItWasWritten]

Itwaswritten that you’re a fool no way is KD2 only a 3.5 out of 5 mics.

It is to me sorry

 

[mathematik]

Anybody have a breakdown of Based on a True Story 1 & 2 ?

Nas girl has a female friend who dated a victim of a unsolved murder! That same Victim was also friends with Nas friend & Firm member Half A Mil who supposedly committed suicide!

The original murder victim was betrayed in a drug deal by dudes from Spain!

Cliff notes version lol

 

[ItWasWritten]

I don’t get the criticism of coming at “stuck in the 90’s” nikkaz in here

Over all 6 of these records, I’d say 70 percent of it is boom-bap inspired drum break beats that y’all then turn around and go crazy for

disagree Magic/KD3 are top 7 Nas albums got Stillmatic at 4th. Magic& KD3 have absolute zero filler those albums are near the top of his discography

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

I got hill as the best feature. ya tripping__



wayne did have a way better verse than em….

 

[InGodWeTrust]

I’m artistically inspired again.

Please let me know if there are the acapellas to all the Magic series?

I’m gonna cook something up for y’all.
