Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)
50 literally said “if David can go against Goliath, I can go at both Jigga and Nas for the Crown”
Top 2 cap raps in history
Bdot said fukk it and threw this at number 3 on his best albums of 2021 before Tyler and Cole

Word up, let people make shyt up in their mind for their own head canon.
Lost Tapes was not an album or even released like one, it was advertised as a collection of old songs that didn't make his albums or songs that leaked and disappeared.
I don't even count his lost Tapes as part of his solo run

This is boring outside of 2-3 songs and Salaam work on Life is Good and God’s Son is better and more memorable than what he’s done with Hit Boy

Not to derail the thread but at the time he said that he wasn’t wrong for saying that.
Nevertheless the GOAT gave us two AOTY’s.

2022 and Nas is more relevant than all of dipset as a collective

honestly it became nearly impossible for me to rank nas dicography past god's son, just for the simple fact that I can't detached the albums from the era and the context they where released.
for example, most of nas' earlier records where released at a time where big singles were important, the competition was not the same and long albums were the norm.
nowadays it's the streaming era, the albums are shorts, the songs are shorters, having single is not as important, and you don't have to make a checklist album (big single, club joint, street joint, filler joint).
thats why I have trouble ranking a album like i am, and the kd's series + magic are impressive for the simple fact that they were released deep into nas carreer, they may have better replay value than i am or god'son , but they don't have career defining songs. I can only say that illmatic, iww and stilllmatic are probably 1, 2 and 3 nas best albums and nastradamus, nasir and street's disciple at the bottom (and I like those three albums) but all the rest it became too difficult
either way it's really impressive because the hit boy's produced albums are all fire and I still ranked them in the middle pack
