After KD3 it's Magic pt2.. We gotta get the trilogy for that too lol KD3 like the first 2 can be that broaden sound with different textures as he describes and the Magic series can just be him in his rawest form.
The best part about this run is how organic it is.

Just enjoy the ride n have no expectations.

Its because he didn’t go along with some of these nikkas expectations for his career. A vocal minority wanted Nas to be Jeru The Damaja or O.C. Status and stay on that dusty street rap shyt forever and never expand his persona or sound. You can always identify someone like this if they say It Was Written was a sell out album. Anyone who says that shouldn’t have their opinions taken seriously when it comes to Nas music. Even Q-Tip tried to tell Steve Stoute that he was ruining Nas career when he heard If I Ruled The World. Because he couldn’t see Nas as anything more than a street rapper. nikkas literally wanted to pit Nas in a box after his FIRST goddamn album? Its absurd.
You are correct.

What these last few releases showed me. Is that alotta nikkas don’t just love Jay over Nas, they HATE Nas. nikkas literally MAD that Nas is getting any sort of praise by the public. shyt crazy.
Also, a lot of industry dudes are jealous of Nas. His success truly bothers them. We won’t even get into the fact that their women be crushing on Nas. That’s why they nitpick at anything they feel is a slight against Nas. If we see the hate.can you imagine what Nas deals with up close.

Honestly, I think Nas comes off as aloof and not an open book. He declines interviews. I love that about him ,but these writers be pissed. I mean he clearly has turned down Fat Joe show..lol. stuff like that.

Jay was a media whore early on, so he still has good graces by these people he spurns now.

I love the path Nas took with his career...

But on the flip side. There’s people in media that been fukkin wit Jay since day one that he cut off completely just cause they said Ether was better. Look at Fat Man Scoop for instance.

yeah, in the comments people were asking him to interview Nas. He said the invite was sent to him a few times. He wasnt mad or nothing..
Oh ok I'm glad Joe isn't in his feelings about it.. For some reason it bothers me to not see those 2 on good terms lol Idk what it is but it just does.

I know... Joe was upset with him a few years ago tho. Good to see them back on good terms.
