Nas- Magic 3 Discussion Thread

[Ziggiy]

Was there any Ultra Black hats/shirts? I know I’m wild late but I need some of those if they exist

And not for nothing but that’s one of the best songs of the series, wild how forgotten and pushed to the side it was, I wonder why…

There were shirts and hoodies. I have one of both

KD 3 & Magic 3 are the top two albums for me as well. KD3 with the slight lead, as it's been out longer. The ultimate test for me is the replay factor. How often I go back to the album weeks and months after it's been released. The replay value on Magic 3 is crazy right now tho

Lets not forget about KD2

My Gang is New York Stock Exchange

He killed that last verse. The flow was crazy.

Man I need one of y'all to connect Based on true events pt 1 and 2 for me.. The dude who Nas was talking about on pt 1 in the picture with Half a mil is the same dude from pt 2 but not the main character. It was the main character man who got killed during the exchange correct? Because at the end of the song Nas goes back to his Ig page and people left Rip comments under his picture.

Wasn't too keen on 1800 Nas & Hit beat, but its the perfect soundtrack credit roll to KD & Magic trilogies

...Disbelief just from my 2020s run

Thanks GOAT MC for expanding your discography past its prime

"No, my brother, you gotta cop your own"

Why is that line so funny? I can't borrow the Hit-Boy boxset? What if I just decided to take it one day because I can't afford my own?

This run with hit has alot more younger people tapping in. It’s a beautiful thing too see. I wouldn’t mind seeing Nas go on a feature run and kill all the young dudes beats. He is capable of anything really.

Nas deserves a Grammy for KD3 and Magic 3. Both albums are flawless.

According to a Grammy insider Nas submitted the following

Kings Disease 3- Best Rap Album

Michael & Quincy- Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance

One Gun One Mic- Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance

On My Soul- Best Song Written For Visual Media



So its like I predicted, Nas and his team decided to go with KD3 as its the more Grammy leaning album and both KD1 and 2 were also nominated. I’d like to see Michael & Quincy get a Best Rap Performance nod as Nas rapped his muthafukking ASS OFF on that joint and it would be ironic if One Gun One Mic got into Best Rap Song considering that its technically a Magic 2 track (and the whole “relevance” argument would be a fun sticking point to jab at the fukk Nas Coalition)


Overall these submissions are very strategic and I can realistically see him getting into at least 3 of those 5 categories (Best Rap Album should be a lock for a nom, then M&Q for Best Rap Performance and One Gun One Mic for Best Rap Song)


Also its official that Drake & 21 are submitting Her Loss this go round, which would make them the favorites as the Grammys ALWAYS award the highest selling album in the rap categories unfortunately. But here’s to rooting for Nas & Hit-Boy regardless of the odds


@Piff Perkins what say you?

KD3 is the better more critically acclaimed album, good choice.
