Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[Icewatermetallik]

Man, besides the whole album Wave Gods been on repeat for me and my fav track. I love Nas on those back in the day, nostalgic type beats, like 2nd Childhood, Memory Lane, stuff like that. And the scratches are just perfect. This and Wu for the Children my two fav joints on there.

Wave Gods def need a video/ single treatment

The Truth sounds very Illmatic-era and something about that melody reminds me of another nas song

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

Wait so some people actually don't like this album?

That left me surprised..

Purchased from iTunes the night of.


I’ve also been streaming via Tidal.


If he had it for sell on his site i’d purchase a couple of digital versions for my homies but its not available on his site as of now.


Is Nas going to do any Merch or physical for the album?

Tidal gives back every month 3$ off my monthly subscription to most streamed artist on there, so there it goes to my GOAT, least I could do, besides buying physical.

 

[Big Mark]

I always buy the physical. I add the album to my playlist on my phone but usually stream from his apple page to Make sure Nas is getting the streams.

The production on Truth reminds me of Killah Hill 10304

When you listen for the first time and hear “KD3 on the way this just to feed the buzz”

Dedicated

The Truth is insane he's just completely shredding that beat up. Reminds me of an IWW track. Whole album goes hard I like it better than KD2 and KD2 was way better than 1.

My guess is the 3rd installment will sound more like 1 unless it drops and that shyt sounds like an updated illmatic that wouldn't surprise me at this point lol

Damn, long time I hadn't heard this version. To me these lyrics belong to the Second Coming, even if this wasn't the official joint

This Cac has hated on Nas for YEARS. If HE’S singing Nas praises then the world is about to end…

Haha Dude said "Nas for my personal taste may not be top 10. But OBJECTIVELY he belongs in the top 10... OBJECTIVELY he belongs in the top 5... and with his last 3 releases he's making a strong case for being #1"

"Sooner or later we'll see who the prophet is"
