Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[waynep]

Listening to the JB podcast. They loving the album, they loved the other 2 KD albums too.
Budden also theorizes that the reason you're seeing Nas in this zone is on his own label and hes free of political BS.
Also thinks that Mass Appeal itself is just as much an investment as any tech business and this is him putting value into it by releasing these quality albums


"Hes rapping great. Hes rapping pissed off. Kanye must have really pissed him off"

He hit the nail on the head.. I was halfway joking a few months back and y'all killed me for it. I said Nas is doing everything up there but sweeping the floors LOL There's a huge underground movement right now with rappers that already have a mini fanbase and these same rappers probably worship Nas.. I'll like Mass Appeal to tap into that market but it's not on Nas to find these people. They need a music head up there that's really connected with the scene.

Joe Budden going IN on people who say he’s not a Nas fan




Nas is LITERALLY making people who have doubted him and shyt on him reverse course and act like they’ve been supporting him all of these years. Its hilarious

What did Kanye say?

I disagreed with you because there are other people putting in work at MA. Nas is just more visible.

He was talking reference to the “Nasir” album

 

[ArchStanton]

Cac fakkit calling Nas overrated but probably has Em as his goat

For some reason I watched the video though I rarely watch that sort of thing. Anyway, he is a Jay-Z fan. Video wasn't bad, he had some good points, basically where Nas lost him was with Hip Hop is Dead because he didn't care for the whole idea of hip hop being dead.

Copy. I doubt Nas gives a shyt. People need to let that go

You can tell Budden is a Nas fan...it's just when the discussion is on some "Nas or Jay-z" shyt he has to kind of throw shots and talk down Nas, Jay-z is his favorite rapper.

 

[Slim Charles]

Yeh you can tell Budden loves Nas. He just is is of the opinion Jay the GOAT which a fine opinion to have. He had Nas as his number 2 when he did his top 50 rappers list and that was pre KD1/KD2/ Magic. And Budden had KD1 as his album of the year

Hollywood Gangsta is my joint

Facts. Its the same thing nikkas on here do when they bigging up Nas by shytting on Jay or whoever doesnt have an opinion they align with. Which is why i always harp on how corny it is that jay gets mentioned in every nas thread. Nas is Nas. Let his name standalone and praise the gawd

I think Snoop feeling some type of way about that line.

I don’t blame him. Felt like a bit of a shot. Guess he got struck. I like the competitive shyt when it inspires people to put out better art. But I really don’t think it was meant to be a diss (although I can see how someone can take it that way); more that Nas knew he had some shyt that was going to be a problem. But yeah, it’s a ugly, mean bar. The unmitigated gall of Nas.
Edit: didn’t mean to put the snoop smiley

Snoop praised the album and the song tho.

Nahhhh. I’m not gonna pretend this nikka always shown Nas respect even when Jay ain’t involved. He hasn’t. Lol. Joe just being Joe lol. Doubling back. Acting like he never said or did certain shyt to make people feel the way they feel. Etc etc. typical Joseph.

That’s why I don’t think it was a diss. It’s a hard line though. Snoop probably heard it and was like ok I got some shyt in the chamber too. I like the back and forth when it makes rappers wanna rap and show their dopeness.
