Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[HHID]

Gotta admire Nas for taking the risk of dropping another album this soon. If you come up with a less good album than both KD's, watch how people flip the whole narrative of his Hitboy collab these last two years.

On the other side, if it's a dope album... Nobody is gonna be able to deny he's been on an incredible run, this late in his career! Not gonna hold my breath for Pitchfork and other wack ass reviewers opinions tho.. I just hope they did another cohesive album, with probably a different sound and direction.

And my personal wish is that Nas drops another classic concept track. One of those that only he can do. Been a while! (not counting tracks like My Bible for example)

Nas fukks wit Verzuz heavy. He has commented in the comment section in a few of em and he was even with Swizz during a few of em. He def cares about Verzuz he just don’t wanna be involved in it.

I meant more so he doesn’t give a fukk about participating

I wish he would have add other producers (like alc) to differenciate this project from the kd series, but I can't complain for new nas music after all

I kinda like what he's doing. There will be a point where I'd love to hear Nas have this same energy over other production too. But what I'd really like to see for at least one project is have Hit-Boy executive produce the whole thing and bring in some other producers too. Maybe have Hit-Boy do 1/3rd of the beats himself, and then bring in some other producers to round out the rest. Or even have Hit-Boy co-produce with other producers.

They keep dropping win after win so I'm here for anything they want to drop.

it's also possible this project hear doesn't sound like KD1 or KD2. I'm sort of assuming it won't to be honest.
