Exactly how I feel although I think Magic is slightly better than KD1, songs like Car #85, Ultra Black, 10 Points, and The Cure are what set Nas apart from the rest of his peers and truly make him the GOAT. Nas in my opinion is the most well-rounded MC ever. He can approach so many subject matters from such a unique point of view, mix that with the poetry of his writing and thats why he’s the GOAT. ONLY Nas can pull off something like I Can, Rewind, Book Of Rhymes, Who Killed It, etc. and it comes off natural and not forced or gimmicky.
I know Anthony the music nerd usually doesn't give super high scores but like you said a 7 in his book is HIGH praise (although objectively Magic doesn’t deserve anything less than an 8) i’ll actually give his review a watch since he usually does pretty decent break downs of bis opinion.
