Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[Ziggiy]

Which ones will count towards the metacritic so far?

Hiphopdx and Clash have already been added to Metacritic. Mic Cheque should be added soon.

I think they need one more to officially start scoring it. Also waiting on NME, Consequence, Exclaim, and Rap Reviews to put out something. Pitchfork usually screws him over and gives him between a 6-6.7. They’re highest rating was for KD3 which was 7.1 so if every other site rates him properly he’ll more than likely end up in the mid 80’s

Thats was me the whole damn day after I heard that song. Even downloaded the Billy Paul song it samples

Nas seems to be really pushing Never Die on social media. Thats probably the single

 

[Air Game Rule]

Runnin the 6 back in chronological order. Just finished Magic better than I remember especially cuz I'm a sucker for album brevity. "No tricks just real shyt straight out the kitchen"
Will finish tomorrow and see if KD3 remains my #1 (likely)

KD 2

Magic 3
Magic 2

Coop from According 2 Hip Hop discrediting KD3 just to big up Magic 3 is LAME as hell. Comes off as super prisoner of the moment.

And aren’t they kinda at odds with The Rap Roundtable? Not surprising, Coop is so sassy and emotional lol and I actually think he’s a good dude who means well, but the type you have to tolerate in doses. Mike be holding back from saying a lot of shyt.

I have an opinion that differs from most for Nas discography. I have Life Is Good right after Illmatic, then Stillmatic, and It Was Written for Nas best albums.
1.Illmatic



2.Life Is Good
3.Stillmatic
4. It Was Written
5. KD3

I thought that was for killer black since he was mentioning killer black right before he said that line.

But was Black in shootouts with Nas' people? I know P was.

Exactly. The guy is tolerable in doses lool. I remember one episode not a long time ago when he wouldnt let Mike speak it was horrible. I felt bad for him

I'll always appreciate those guys for calling out the media during the Kings Disease series and the first Magic for the kinda blatant dimissal and holes in the argument....but on the flip side with the albums this year there is some hyperbole. Maybe cause Coop is cool now with the team or whatever and he does argue his points well but yeah. Im a Hit Boy defender but I cant call him top 5, 10 OAT (Today for sure but all time is tough). Mike is more centered about things while still giving props.

 

[H.S.]

But was Black in shootouts with Nas' people? I know P was.

Not sure but it’s not hard to believe that Killer Black was in a shootout with someone from QB. The link between Black and Half a Mil is suicide. I don’t see where Prodigy would fit in here.
