Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[Ziggiy]

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

That doesn’t make any sense at all.


If this ain’t a full studio album then neither is any album ever released in the month of December

"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"

These the type flows only a few can pull off …When he gets on the right type of drums it’s always Magic

The purpose of Magic is to keep the buzz going, Nas made that clear, so did Hitboy. Magic serves as similar to Fab's Shootouts mixtape releases during the holiday.

Do not expect any videos whatsoever off Magic. You guys will have to hold KD3 for that.

That stretch was filthy!

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

Fixed but yes sir....joint groovy AF

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

Agreed, all three are great.

 

[Big Mark]

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.

I tend to lump them all together and they are all in the middle of my NaS album rankings.

Would be a 2 hour album how slow jay rappin

Since that all the way up remix Jay flow has been a bit choppy at times
