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

Still fukk him.

 

[H.S.]

Didn't click but dude looks distraught in the thumbnail.

Are Nas fans knowledgeable about streaming? Are you guys streaming? If
so continue to do so. Purchase as well.

It’s such a dope album that anytime I put my Powerbeats on it’s what I’m streaming by default. I’m copping the vinyl as soon as it drops.

hit boy all over the internet. Wouldn’t be surprised he stumbles on here one day.

Then he definitely needs to stumble upon the review @prophecypro posted and that I just tweeted a video about. I've replayed that part 10 times LMAO

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?

I am pretty sure he will. I really think they put this together recently and just dropped a bomb out of nowhere. I am on the lookout for it too

Hoping Hit got a piano beat or two on here that sounds like these:

I play the shyt outta these two songs heavy

Some of the coldest beats from Hit I’ve ever heard

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

It could be a big demographic crossover record. Nas’s older fans can see Rocky and Rocky’s fans can see Nas.

Comfortable 4.5 for me.

Speechless- Hard where to put it in his list of intro’s but as always a Nas intro delivers 5/5

meet Joe black- beat nice but got to be honest it has gotten a tad repetitive to me. Nas hunger on this crazy but rhymes wise most others tracks on the album better to me 4/5

Ugly- beat perfectly fits the mood of the song. Nas as always paints vivid pictures of New York. 5/5

40-16 Building- this meet Joe black but x 10. Beat slaps and Nas just bodies it. 5/5

Hollywood Gangster- nice switch up in the vibe. Very smooth. 4/5

wu for the children- song of the album for me. 5/5

wave gods- should be a single if they do one. 4.5/5

the truth- similar to 40-16 Nas just bodies it. 5/5

dedicated- perfect end to the album. For some reason the image of that carlito line and the beat fits so well. 5/5.

Wow I think I'd have the exact same ratings.

Meet Joe Black is cool but I think both Nas & Hit were one notch lower on this track than for the rest of the album. That crazy hook carries it tho!

I wonder if people are discovering Nas off that new Pandora commercial with Khaled. He plays "Hate Me Now" after clicking on the I Am album cover. Now Nas has dropped this new record. It would be dope if he gets traffic from that commercial and people are turned onto Magic along with the rest of the catalog.

 

[ThirdAct]

Smilie potential when he heard the beat switch lol

Mega gave Nas, AZ and Lloyd Banks props on their albums in his last IG post. Basically said he held his album back so it wouldn't conflict with Magic even though Nas told him he didn't have to.
