Nas - Magic

9/10 review


Review | Nas – Magic - Raw Side Hip Hop

Perfect score

The 9/10 from Clash is good cause it counts for Metacritic and they gave KD a 8 and KD II a 7, so it's an upgrade over both.
Albumism gave a 9/10 to Magic too. It's not counted as a source on Metacritic but it is on other similar sites like anydecentmusic and AOTY.

Great start for another universal acclaim.

poet was saying nas beat weren't that because hit boy didn't used samples when the album is actually full of that.

I can understand people not necessarily fans of hit boy or nas' beat selection but it always amaze me how people try to shyt on him on false grounds or getting picky on details they never bring out for other rappers

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

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

Bro it's crazy NONE of these albums sound the same, hell if we didn't know HitBoy had done them you wouldn't fukkin know!!

It's the typical going in with the thought "I don't like this dude, so no matter what I will be wrong and strong"..

So, the Nas lines on "Dedicated" inspired me to read Destruction of the Black Civilization. Interesting read so far. A lot of parallels to Black life in America. I also copped a copy of the Journal of Christopher Columbus.

It sounds more like something Just Blaze would do than RZA.

Just don't really like his beats like that. It's versatile i guess but don't move me like that. This last joint I feel like Nas turned back the clock n the beats kept up.

bytching about not being Premo like they wouldn’t be bytching about it not being Pete Rock like they’d be bytching about it not being Alchemist like they’d be bytching about it not being Madlib like they’d be bytching about it not being beats from Dilla, who they’d expect Nas to dig up out of his grave with his bare hands.
