Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

This album for the dusty boom bap heads that want Illmatic Part 4

That's where all the overrating is coming from

 

[u mad son?]

I think I might prefer this ove the KD series so far. There's no skips or filler... Its straight to the point... The beats are the perfect mix of soulful and greazy.

I'm fukking with this heavy.... I fukking love this brudda no homo.

Ok second listen this morning without the alcohol in my system. Sounds even better. His flow is just so sharp. It reminds me of when I heard that "streets disciple" title track. Everything is effortless and that first track was fire.

I needed a more aggressive 90s type sound. I know I'm a dusty old head at this point.

KD 3 bout to be Jordan hitting that game winner in Utah level

 

[Spidey Man]

The entire joint is a good look for New York City

This that cold winter music. That Infamous/Liquid Swords type cold

Compare the energy Nas has on this to that Rick Ross snoozefest he just dropped.

There is no comparison. Gotta stay hungry because the music will let everyone know when you letting up

Nas left earth yet again, sounding hungrier then ever and and give Hit-Boy his props, this dudes versatility, it keeps surprising me. They’re on fire

 

[Prolific_1011]

An album titled "Magic" with an Illmatic-era photo as the album cover... and he delivered.



I've spun this like 10 times already. 5 mics.

There is no comparison because the gap as far as raw talent is too big..Ross was always carried by his production

 

[Rozay Oro]

I need a Rocky and Hit-Boy project

Rocky x Tyler or Rocky x Cardo project would be dope too

 

[Escobar305]

Better than all the KD’s off one listen

 

[the cool]

Liking this so far. Very early to tell how it ranks but it def aint Nastradamus.

Dumbest post in this entire thread

 

[Artfull Dodger]

Heaven on Earth, this shyt is magic with no fairy dust
Home of the gully, gangsta, the gruesome, and the scary stuff
I told my brother Jung fukk em they gon’ go thru hell with us
They don’t have the history in the streets that compare with us

“It’s mr ugly man Marlon Wayans on In Living Color”
