Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[Piff Perkins]

What does Nas say at the end of the second verse on Dedicated, when the vocal sample/chorus kinda drowns it out?

"Dedicated like Ricky Walters,..." I didn't peep it. I think it's Ricky Walters, Dougie and Daddy Kane...but I could be wrong?

Haven’t listen to Super Tecmo yet. I’m geeked to have these in the chamber.

Yo tag me if you reply with thoughts in the Tecmo thread. Curious to hear your take

Hit Boy deserves a statue for the way he’s reinvigorated NaS

 

[Fctftl]

Maaaaan this ni66a just dropped a fking nuclear bomb on HipHop with this album.

Thank You Nas for this album.

Im late..

only have listened to Hollywood Gangta, Speechless, Ugly, Meet Joe Black, 40-16 building.

and this shyt sounding like the best Nas album since God;Son WTF.....

Speechless
Meet Joe Black
The Truth
Dedicated

The shyt above is 10/10, give af what nobody say. Only track I wasn't feeling as much as the others was Wu For The Children, everything else is 8/10 and up. Amazing project, best o/a production I've heard him rap over in two decades. Meet Joe Black is incredible

This isn't the best he's ever rapped but it's great enough that who gives a fukk. Definitely gonna go back and check out KD2 which I skipped, my mistake.

40-16

One thing is for sure, Magic has a different sound from KD1 and KD2 after several listening.

I didn't fw KD1 which is why I skipped KD2, this shyt right here though... Wow. Nas solidified being the god MC in any decade, the fact that he's rapping like this at damn near 50

“ Im dropping bars like im on stage with SMACK “ Album is amazing!

Who’s smack?

This is winter music. Hoody weather music. If I could compare it to any Nas album it’s a kin to IWW and Lost Tapes. Way more gully than the previous collab with Hit. It’s perfect timing. Sequenced cohesively like once Dedicated is over and your phone show Speechless? How can I not play it again.
