One opinion I wanted to share - these are some of the best hooks Nas has done. Nothing corny, very effortless, and sounds organic.

Nas gets flack sometimes for some of his hooks, but I never understood the hate. He has always been able to make complete songs and some of his hooks are underrated.

Bro. We got 3 Nas albums from the best producer of this era. Wtffffffff

and this one is lyrical as fckk. No bs singing chorus , straight bars. He feeding hip hop culture

 

[Big Mark]

You’re 100% right man. It has that stripped down feel I got from Lost Tapes. Sparse hooks, moody beats, and rhymes on rhymes. Just a dope project.

I’d imagine KD3 will be this big, triumphant type album so separating these tracks to make a different album makes sense.

I don’t really get the LT1 vibe from Magic. However, I do notice a somewhat melancholy feel on a couple of Magic beats, which is a perfect way to describe the feel of LT1. This can also explain why I like LT1 so much. I prefer Nas over moody beats especially when he is locked in on a concept or story. I don’t want a while album of Nas over triumphant beats and feel good stuff. Not saying that KD1 and 2 are like that, but more less explaining what I want or need from Nas.

Something as hard sounding as The Truth sounds like J. Cole??? Yea ok Smh

I don’t get that vibe from that song at all. Hollywood Gangsta beat sound like a Cole beat tho.

 

[spliz]

I tried I honestly tried....

couple things actually few...

you can lift Nasirs vocals off any track I mean dam near any track aside from perhaps a couple and place/replace them over any of his songs



it's just one set monotone
dodoesn'matter if he's talking about his daughter or his in an epic battle

They laid either but I say he didn't have a choice but to go that route

He has no voice inflection
No feeling therefore you don't feel his music

Aside from that the excuse he always skated on was bad/ poor beat selection now that that excuse is gone I think it really shows him up to be just an average rapper..

He don't got to be trash or garbage
But he's just not this universally excepted top 5 goat

And the beats were sub par to be perfectly honest yes better much better that his previous selections but nothing memorable

A lot of his music / projects just seem forced

It seems he's been forced in to this quote un quote knowledgeable rapper role that's just not him

We all may have moments of inspiration enlightenment
that don't make you a genius a savant ...

Nor is he up to the task of hit after hit putting out classics

Luke warm tapioca raps over backwashed beats

-2.

What the entire fukk are u talking about?

 

[HNIC973]

What he say I’m not even watching it. Lol

basically, Nas need to bring it back with the OG producers to be the Goat. I cut it off after 2 mins

 

[Tasha And]

Special like my listeners who have attachments to my old style
Won't let me pass it

The Nas enthusiasts thinkin’ they know what’s best for me
More than I know what's best for me, no rest for me

Lines are going to age like a fine wine.
