Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[Spidey Man]

Got the email that my colored vinyl is shipping. I caught a case of the shingles so I'll be playing it heavy again.

That's still just one song/remix though. Two brief snippets don't tell us much. Nas was great on Hot Boyz and while I'd love to hear whatever Nas did with Timbo a few years ago, I don't really think Timbo's drums/percussion fit Nas as a rapper. That shyt fits Jay better in terms of tempo and how dynamic they are.

Honestly I'd rather hear Nas over some of this recent Kanye shyt than Timbo or Pharrell.

He fit fine over You Won’t See Me Tonight and You Owe Me.

Nas is underrated when it comes to his R&B features. He has always crushed them. That old joint with Allure. Low key one of Nas strengths.

Let me know how much better it sounds in vinyl. I’ve never heard a rap album in vinyl.

This really puts the last couple of years of Nas's career in perspective, kinda incredible when you think about it

Crazy how different all three of these projects were

Crazy thing I don’t even have a record player yet. I’ve just been collecting them until I buy a house and I have more space for a record player.

I’ve noticed a shift on social media, YouTube etc… in the Nas love. It’s like he is finally getting some of the appreciation he has always deserved. Even the younger generation on YouTube is like yea he is the goat when they sit back and listen to him. Also when a narrative tries to get pushed these days Nas fans hold him down.

It was nice seeing IWW get love on Twitter yesterday for the 26th anniversary of its release.

That’s facts. People have come around. These last 3 albums being successful in the social media age has shifted a lot narratives.
