Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[H.S.]

That's hard as hell, too many good songs to narrow it down to...

And even after you narrow it down, it's tough to make the sequencing work. The Cure, Nas Is Good and Dedicated would all make my cut, but it feels weird for them to be anything other than outros.

Most over criticized rapper of all time, bar none. It's almost unfair if you ask me

He's a victim of his own greatness no matter what he drops it's never gonna be good enough for some "fans"

KD2 was the hardest to pick from

 

[IllmaticDelta]

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.

yeah, he already showed nas love on/about the new album

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Premo is an example of how these elder statesmen in Hip Hop SHOULD be moving. No hate. No jealousy. No “WHY NOT ME?!?!” mentality. Just showing love and respect.

I've been seeing Kid Capri showing love too when it looked like he was salty that maybe, Nas, hadn't worked with him recently lol

After doing this reminded me how good KD2 is. That had the most I had struggle to cut from.

could definitely cut Blue Benz for something off KD2 or Magic like Nobody, Moments or Ugly

composure was tough for me to leave off and so was Hollywood gangster off magic.

Surprised to see so many lists that don't include Moments
