"This shyt will make ya mouth water like food grilled with wood chips,
Woolridge...button up flannel,
lookin wolfish,
my hair wolfin /
Central Booking's,
simple lessons /
one foot on the curb, one foot in the Lexus"

The way he worded this part and the flow here was fire! Had to rewind this part a few times.

Bruh, he delivered that shyt so cold, smh, I ran that back like 10 times on my first listen, lol. Flow is ill too, he was really in his bag with the flows on this shyt, the fast one, the slow one, the double time one, all that. All perfectly in pocket.

Man that “Hollywood Gangsta” is some other shyt (whole album is)

These might be the most clever bars I’ve heard in decades:


Everybody lyin’ telling stories backwards
Like my song Rewind, in store autographin’
To take it back in time to today, I’m smashin’
Flick out ashes, flip girls on a mattress
We get it crackin’ without the attachments
Her -my heart is cold as aspen, both of us laughin’


To reference “Rewind” then proceed to rewind for a couple bars real quick




And how he slid this in real quick

“Nas think he too good to pull up on us”
See me at a baby shower with some OGs from Corona
Sippin’ liquor, taking photos then I slid with a cougar
Coulda pulled a young love but I took who was choosin





Peep all these bars people posting from different songs for an album that’s 48 hours old. This some of his hardest shyt ever, 30 years deep in the game



I’m inspired

I am happy also, gave no chance for Jay to try to do something to upstage this release

It's like Nas upstaged Jay's Verzuz comments

Joe Budden did a review yet Roy? Rory and Mal did a review yet?

 

[SwizzLake]

I hope we get videos for Meet Joe Black and The Truth.

There will not be any videos off Magic, this is like a special holidays release, not a full studio album.

Better than KD 1 but not as good as KD 2 imo

I have seen multiple posts of people ranking all three in different ways.

Some got KD2 as top, others have it last, some got KD1 on top, others have that last of the three, but the concensus is Magic is in the middle of the two.
