On my third listen. Yeah, this is much better than KDI and KD2. Don't remember anything from the first one at all. From KD2, Nobody and Store Run. Magic on the other hand is fire throughout. The only eh, is the beat for Ugly, which could be better.

Nas fans would y'all put this ahead of godson
Nah, God’s Son is a different type of album; more personal and way darker.

Get Down
Made You Look
Heaven
Dance
Book of Rhymes
Revolutionary Warfare
I Can
Last Real nikka Alive

a few of those songs are in my top 20 Nas songs, I gotta wait and see how some of these tracks on Magic hold up

Hit Boy posted this cac's reaction to the album on instagram.....i can remember him spazzing out on the first 2 KD's...:russ:


Hit Boy be up on all the reviews and reactions. Shows me that he cares deeply about his projects and you can tell from the output.

We gotta give the young bull his flowers and he is doing this dolo. No room full of ghost producers and contributors.

First review up


Nas has found new inspiration of late because he has been in rare form with all of this new music. As he raps on “40-16 Building,” to push the point about his recent rapping, “Every recording off the head, I’m in the studio lately!” He and Hit-Boy have released another new album this year titled Magic, which was announced just yesterday. It features DJ Premier and A$AP Rocky on one song, but the rest are just him and Hit-Boy working like they have over the two King’s Disease albums.

This is Nas’ second album of 2021, getting Magic in just in time after King’s Disease II in August. As he says on “Ugly,” this album is “to feed the buzz,” but the work isn’t stopping, letting the listener know that King’s Disease III is on the way.

I'll group Magic with the Lost Tapes 1 and 2.
