Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[kes929]

I honestly feel like Nas could have dropped any of these joints without dropping the other 5 and retired and folks would be saying he went out on a high note.

Seriously, these albums are that good. And folks is nitpicking the fukk outta these albums I feel only because they gave us so much fukking material to choose from.

The only thing I don't like about this run is I'm struggling to make a condensed play list because there is so much dope shyt I don't want to cut. I'm just running the whole albums everytime

Nas definitely brings out the crazy haters and nitpickers. It’s actually crazy to witness.

Impression Im getting with this album is older more hip hop heads like it and the younger heads dont feel it as much? (or at least those that gravitate to young/diverse music like idk fantano) At least from what Im seeing out there

Kinda surprised

This is a young cat and he always goes crazy for Nas haha

Saw the review, he seemed complimentary to the project to start but I guess for white critics when Nas goes elder statesmen or does girl tracks it doesn’t stick (even though he liked KD 1 and 2 which have those )

I thought he’d give it a 7 since it’s better than Magic 2 but the impression I’m getting out here is even when they stick to the right formula they got out of the KD series too much of a good thing is still too much

fukking hell, imagine hating on I Love This Feeling, Jodeci Member and Speechless Pt. 2.

Based on true events pt 2

This guys view usually very similar to mine. And he usually does some good analysis of the lyrics/ flow and the production

That beat goes too. On twitter hit boy said the engineer convinced him not to change the beat. I can’t believe hit was second guessing that beat.

Yep I saw that.. Definitely was the perfect beat for that story.

I wasn't able join you guys last week when Magic 3 dropped. The alphabets people had me bushed.

I love Magic3 a lot after the disappointment I felt for Magic2.

In fact, KD3 and Magic3 are tied at the top out of the 6.

Unpopular opinion...I like Speechless 2 over Speechless

Speechless 2 is super fire. Proud of Nas and Hit Boy for this run. Nas blessed us and he really didn’t have to.

Me too, beat is beautiful and he was eatin

Nahhhh, this album is fire, lol, for real.

“Superhero Status” the only song I skip when I’m running thru the album, every other song is at least good imo, crazy

 

[Fctftl]

I liked this better than Magic 2.

What a run these 2 had over 3 years. Might be my favorite era of Nas.

I fukk with Superhero Status but yeah somehow this might be my favorite project of the run when all said and done. I don't know. Magic 1 gonna be tough to top. But this one is thoroughly nice. That Blue Bentley, Jodeci Member wave suit him real well at this stage
