I bet you more time was spent talking about Nas’ views on backpackers than listening/streaming the Magic album.

Magic in heavy rotation for me. My girl love that 40-16 building

This thread is full of some of the biggest Nas stans in the US (and other countries)…

You sound mad about a surprise project dropped in between holidays, with no promo and no physical copies. It did ok given the circumstances. No rapper 30+ years deep in the game is dropping surprise albums during holidays and doing good numbers (outside of Jay). Enjoy the super positive album reception and plan a proper rollout for KD3…respectfully.

this album is perfect

just drove home blasting Hollywood Gangsta and Wu for the Children on repeat with the windows down... surprised I didn't get pulled over

[Thief's Theme]

I play Hollywood Gangsta everyday

[Wild self]

Yea. I wish we could’ve gotten those songs I remember him even speaking on it and saying Eminem of all people told him to chill. Lol

Black Thought woulda been an Afterthought if he tried to place hands on Nas

On the street level, could be true.

But on the Mic? Im a huge Nas stan, but Black Thought would give Stillmatic/God's Son era Nas some serious lyrical problems, and I do not take that lightly.

That could have been a more potent version of Jada/Beans battle, with mad stray causalities.

 

[Mike Wins]

In 10 years this album gonna have legendary status among Nas fans similar to the first Lost Tapes. Mainstream will never recognize but this is a stone cold classic

 

[Abstract83]

Props to yall for even having this conversation. Im a big fan of Com, Nas, The Roots, Mos and Talib. Some shyt I knew and a lot I didn't. It should be a whole documentary based off this convo alone. Just based off the backpack movement in general. Their aim and slight contradictions.

Nah I would back Jada and Beans against black thought alsp, battling is a different sport.

Nas fans not Nas stans lol.

Nothing wrong with this backpack conversation. It’s interesting to hear the dynamics and history of Nas and underground hip hop given Nas one one of the few mainstream stars of 90s and 2000s to get major underground love (albeit not by everyone).
