Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[viktordoomsecretwars]

Talking about Verzuz child's play while this nikka is borderline 50 dropping back to back classics.

As a Brooklyn rapper said, speaking about himself on a record recently with NaS -

'Unprecedented run'.. Only that it actually applies much more to NaS than anyone else

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

This is Nas we're talkin about, will give another listen later..

I don’t even wanna hear about goat debate anymore. Two best albums of the year at almost 50.

Woah. Just, wow. Magic is incredible on a first light listen. Going to go through it thoroughly. Excellent work right here.

@Yaboysix not sure if you commented here, but what did you think of Magic?

@Art Barr and @Cladyclad you guys too, what do think?

What a year!!! We never gon lose!

Nas' sound man. Who cares about experimenting.

What Nas does works. His brand of music.

And of course I thought or think Eminem is great. But there's something about soul in the music and consistency. I bet Em is studying this. All emcees should. Jesus Christ!

Even Krs is probably bugging off this.

I'll never let a wack rapper get play again

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

He got a long way to go to pass pac. He's too limited

 

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

He’s really the Golden Child.

Thank you man.

Meet Joe Black was a movie about Death arriving on earth in human form in the name of Joe Black

‘Im not the one to go at, you F around Meet Joe Black

Wu For The Children got me wanting to shed a tear

I don't see the point with weak sayings like
"All them nikkas on top be blocking," or never help, man, stop it
It’s hard watching brothers who smart but think they not
I need them to realize what they got is a fresh start
That brother that you claim so powerful
The one you said he has a whole lot of pull
Probably already tried to pull his brothers up
And got betrayed, got snaked, got played
Meanwhile he balance his challenges, hard to keep himself paid
It's so hard for him, even though his talent is God-given
Pardon him, stop putting your faults on him
What he did to you now?
The man in him is bringing the kid in you out
You kid him, he still playin' the victim, you weirdin' me out
That's what my perspective is, maybe 'cause I'm a specialist
Sippin' mixed liquor beverages
Six figure checks are big, but eight figure checks and you rich
The Nas enthusiasts thinkin’ they know what’s best for me
More than I know what's best for me, no rest for me

Probably the best verse on the album so far. I'm 80% done listening. I'll give my reviews on each song when im done.
