Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[viktordoomsecretwars]

It's ugly outside, it's muggy, it's money outside
One hundred and five Fahrenheit, thunderous skies
The clouds shape a clown face above where you reside
Under his eye, teardrop got the ugliest cry
They call my city Gotham City, opposite of pretty
Weatherman cannot predict bullets rainin' from out the 50
It's ugly outside, Big L'd be here if it wasn't

Hell will freezе over the day it doesn't gеt ugly out
How can we hug it out after we slugged it out?
We should be buying acres, adjusting each other's crowns
That was your brother back then, how could you gun him down?

This what I live for, the inventor
The re-invention, I'm reincarnated, see what it hit for
Yo, even your mental can get you sent for
Get you chipped off if it's a brick off, you hit a brick wall
Damn, big dawg, dove in that water and got hit with a cannonball
Ugly Christmas sweater party with no Santa Claus

Companies profit off of black trauma
That's ugly, mad ugly just like Sheneneh and Wanda
You been through shyt, I been through shyt, every day is an honor
It's ugly how Mercedes Moore lost her life to a stalker
I'm on offense every day until I see the love
KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz

Speechless is a top 5 Nas intro.

I wrote this while at a redlight on my way home bumpin it. But I just sat down and wrote it out and got damn Nas got too many classic album openers to call it

NY State of Mind
The Message
NY State of Mind II
Stillmatic Intro
Get Down
Doo Rags
Queens Get The Money
No Introduction

[Budda]

Ain’t listen to this album but 40 plus pages of Nas in almost 2022 say a lot about the coli

It says the coli got good taste fakkit.

 

[Redwood]

I give this album a 9 breh

 

[noodles]

Lyrics are on point but these beats.. smh

Why would I ever have to cop a chain or game
When the QB chain birth moved the chains in the game?
No post office was stampin' time
Took out a slice out of the Big Apple, made apple pies, family sized
Leather bombers and Nike Sacais
Dangerous corners, you better pray that tomorrow arrives


This dude is just trolling at this point. All his contemporaries are either retired or semi-retired .

He's running laps around all the all time greats at this point. Jay-z, Big, Pac, Eminem, Rakim, KRS, Big L. With ALL due respect, NaS is the GOAT.

Am I a musician? Or am I a magician? No tricks, just real shyt, straight out the kitchen

 

[Abstract83]

Nas is definitely the goat. Gonna bump this again tomorrow on the highway. Hit-Boy is producer of the year right now. So Versitile. I dont wanna hear shyt about his ear for beats now. All that is deaded. These 2 make incredible music together. Damn im still bumbing KD 2 wtf. But this Magic shyt is on a different level

what's wrong with the beats on here?

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

I know alot of ppl going to flock to Wave Gods, but don’t sleep that song was also produced by Hit-Boy. It might just be dj premier scratches.

Don't know what album you're listening to, G. Beats are insane so far. Beat wise even better than the KD series of albums imo, which is saying something

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

Son want salaam remi zone out type beats
