Dedicated is a close second

Where is YOUR opinion
OR you just prefer to be spoon fed.
If I want your opinion I give it to you looking ass
Nasir better than KDII? I mean it's your opinion I guess but goddamn I can't agree at all.

On my first listen my favorite song is Wu is for the children. Thank you Nas for dropping some dope ass music these last few years.
This is dope off of one spin
no where near KD 2 tho
he might be sharper a little more lyrically on this
but the music is better and the songs are better on kd2
It’s boring compared to kd2 but again this is off one real spin

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
It's crazy to think that in a year and a half, Nas has taken every narrative/criticism surrounding his music and destroyed it. 
"Nas has bad beats." He found a super-producer who can give him virtually anything to rap over, doesn't stick to one style, and together, they developed a chemistry that nobody saw coming.
"Nas never drops music." After six years off, he's been releasing projects annually, with two albums this year and a potential one coming next summer (King's Disease III).
"Nas needs to hook up with AZ and them." Had a Firm reunion (with Dr. Dre) on King's Disease and a Lauryn Hill feature on King's Disease II.
"I want some gutter, grimy, 90s era Nas." Just released an album that's nothing but hard beats and pure, concentrated ego.
"Where's Premier?" For the first time in twenty years, Premier is officially on a Nas album. He's doing the scratches, but it's still something, and not a complete disappointment like when Eminem worked with Premier last year.
Nas truly is in another prime of his career. I had no way of knowing that working with Hit Boy was going to give us so much great material. This era has to end at some point, so we should all soak in the fact that we're witnessing something special. Nas is pushing 50, and all he's doing is proving he has the GOAT discography with his latter-day work.

I love how all three of these albums have loose yet consistent concepts or themes - honor, moderation, loyalty, etc - which allow Nas to weave in and out with some pure unfiltered slick shyt, without locking him in a rugged "concept album" box. He's really talking his shyt on these Hit Boy albums, especially the last two. Nothing preachy. It's like "here's some jewels, take em or leave em...btw I'm still that dude."

KDII is a great album and has stone cold classic songs to me...Rare, Store Run, Pressure, Death Row East, Nobody, My Bible, Count Me In, Nas Is Good, etc., etc. But you can make the argument that Magic is more raw and has absolutely no filler.
I know its real early but...top 5 Nas albums?
Top 3?
it has no filler cuz its only 9 songs
