Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[Alexander Wiggin]

The sad part about it is that it isn't even Hit that they don't like. They hate on Hit because they feel their favorite producer would make better music with Nas. That and the fact that Hit Boy provides Nas with more modern production has people nitpicking and finding the most ridiculous things to criticize Hit Boy for.

that's why I don't really want a nas primo album. If it's good they gon say the hit boy album where really subpar and if it's average or bad they will never admit it and lying about its better than the hit boy series

Watching a YouTube video of the Brooklyn show and My God Nas was killing!!!!! Fever and TSK was ringing off. Nas is the undisputed goat. I might smack the next person I hear say he isn't honestly

I really felt bad for De La. Sounded like Pos’ mic wasn’t working. Thankfully Kweli and Pharoahe came in and helped him out.

I'll keep saying it son needs to do a B-sides concert maybe at the end of the year. Some of his best material is the stuff the masses don't even know

His b sides is ridiculous. His entire catalogue is ridiculous.

What I have noticed is this Nas and Hit run has really made people who are extreme Stans of an artist lose their mind to the point where they say shyt like "my favorite rapper shouldn't even release new music, he's already the goat." Like I saw an Eminem Stan on Reddit saying the last thing Em should do is release music like Nas, it's too much and his sales will drop, matter of fact I hope Eminem is retired. It's really weird!

I will say this until the end of time. There are many people that aren’t Nas fans. They’re Illmatic fans. Nas grew and so did his life experiences. As such he rapped about everything and more. Some people hate that Nas raps about sex, women, etc. He grew. Fans of Illmatic never did.

Nah they grew

They're just haters....I hated post Illmatic Nas too. I was a hater until I realized Nas was just a young dude figuring out like the rest of us

What a shame....people tried to pigeonholed his creativity and still do

Grown men criticizing a 50 yr old rapper
I just enjoy the best Emcee in Hip Hop first 50 years continued music

Noooooooooooooooo
How did I miss this? I been working too many hours this week. Glad I got to at least see him @ MSG.

One on One from the Street Fighter soundtrack would be the career high for 99.9% of rappers and it's all but forgotten.

I would attend. Nas probably ain’t never performed some of them joints ever. The gawd Mc would have to rehearse them joints heavy
