Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[ChiTownGuevera]

ok I give in this is probably the AOTY...considering KD2 was the clear runaway up until magic came out of nowhere in saying all that I might give an edge to KD2 just bc of Store Run, Rare, The pressure and Nobody..

Nas is just competing with himself at this point

You put I Am over Life Is Good

 

[Piff Perkins]

Ionno. Chain is hard af but that pretentious Hov explanation kinda makes the presentation corny to me.

Exactly. Dude need to stop with the “it’s not about wealth” pretexts and just do your thing. You’re gonna get clowned for flaunting your wealth either way, might as well do it with no pretentious self defenses.

 

[ChiTownGuevera]

If KD3 is in the same realm as KD2 AND MAGIC...Thats gonna bump Kings Disease, Life IS GOOD and Untitled out of his 10th best album lists..think about how crazy that is ..


Undisputed GOAT

Nas in 98 regardless of how inconsistent he was with album mode...still in his prime, Nas is Like is one of my favorite moments in hip hop history

An album with “Project Windows” “Come Get Me” “Life We Chose” “Family” “New World” can’t be his worst album lol

Im gonna go with HHID as Nas worst album

[Jefferson Jackson]

one of those albums where the skip button is completely unnecessary

"Meet Joe Black"

Im gonna go with HHID as Nas worst album

"Project Windows" is hands down one of Nas's best songs, but as a whole Nastradamus is a mess of an album. Hip Hop Is Dead is easily better. It has:

Money Over BS
Black Republicans
Can't Forget About You
Let There Be Light
Still Dreamin
Hold Down The Block
Hope
Hustlers

i have NOBODY who agrees with me online or offline

but every nas album is a classic

they all are moods and have themes and bars and flows and introspectiveness and homage

nas is a living legacy the truest MC we have
