The Truth

Hyped of the lil dirt you did
That ain't shyt to the kid

I wonder if this whole Hit Boy phase would be even better if they just took the hottest/best songs from each of these and released it as one album instead of across 3-4 projects

Nah I'm glad they are putting it all out. If it had only been one album we'd have a situation like a lot of Nas albums where a bunch of great joints get left off.

Lauryn Hill, Eminem, EPMD, The Firm, Charlie Wilson got featured on KD 1 and 2.

What notable or surprise feature(s) do you think Nas will get on KD3 that could top KD1 and 2?

Kendrick, Drake, Cole. And a surprise sleeper that would be huge numbers "Adele on the hook"

 

[Artfull Dodger]

You have to love the frequency of the releases. I bet we get something else quickly after KD 3. Maybe a soundtrack, single or something but they on a roll. He is bound to win some awards between KD2 and Magic and KD3 is already in progress. 2022 is going to be bountiful

Nas dont need awards breh,,,his career hasnt been defined by them. Dont get yo hopes up for industry recognition either.

In a nutshell, from what I glimpsed...it wasn't worth reviewing and it was disrespectful to Nas fans.

...the downside of modern social media giving every tom, dikk and harry a voice/opinion with the potential to reach the masses

Still not a huge fan of hit boy but this album is the best of the 3 they dropped so far. Nas flow actually sounds sharp on all the tracks compared to the last two albums as well. Ugly is my fav so far

What they say about it? U know media nikkas can’t praise Nas without it being backhanded.

All of what everyone else posted this nikka Bonsu also shytted on LIG called it "Life is mediocre" why I can't take Hip Hop media seriously. You can tell the way this nikka Bonsu talks he is one those certain ''fans'' of Nas

nah. The entire body of work is amazing to see and only solidified his position.

He is a Jay fan. So he tries to downplay nas to prop up Jay. Not surprising.

How you still aren't a fan of the versatility of hit boy over the last 3 albums is beyond me.

He talked about 40-16 building "knockoff Rza beat" "the bars not talking about nothing" Wave Gods "sound like a Preem beat why couldn't he produce it" "make more songs like Echo" "Use Pete Rock he got some heat" He gave nikkaz 2 Pete Rock joints on LT2 these so called "purists" ignored it

40-16 don’t even sound like a Rza beat.
