Nasir rappin his ass off.

Hit-Boy got those Living Proof drums for Wave Gods

Nah Nas was WIDLIN on this album

I love his energy and flow on this album. He sounds super inspired. More than he did on KD 2 which I liked, but didn't love.

And the beats on here are much more for my palate than the KD series.

exactly my thoughts.

Magic > KD1, KD2 and the Kanye projects

 

[Ziggiy]

In the last three years Nas has given fans EVERYTHING they’ve been asking for.


Lost Tapes 2
A Firm Reunion
A Lauryn Hill reunion
An Eminem Collaboration
A DJ Premier reunion


All with one of the BEST producers of the modern era

 

[YakSpiller]

This album is what Kanye couldn’t accomplish.

 

[UpAndComing]

Ok I've seen enough

Nas and ASAP Rocky collab album should happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Loose]

I must say nice my goat but the last 10 years i been indifferent on his flow, he is absolutely floating over these beats. Loving this so far.

Exactly why I don’t wanna heard premo production
You can still do boom bap without using drums from 95
Worst song on the album

 

[Rozay Oro]

Son want salaam remi zone out type beats

Salaam got classics with Nas despite that terrible beat but Salaam is such a better R&B producer. That Marvin Gaye album that came out few years ago is amazing!

 

[bigdaddy88]

exactly. I know why he doesn't feel the urge to use other producers right now when Hit-Boy can basically do justice to any style himself.

Yes sir...dude covers the mainstream sound, soul base and boom bap so well. Am ready to call this a classic but damn. Stuck on the 90's nikkas cant complain anymore lol

Better than KD2? For real. KD2 was a masterpiece to me

On first listen it's a definite no for me but nikkas saying it a lot in this thread so gonna give it a few more spins

You are a clown, this the best song on here..straight knockin

 

[Surreal]

This album is what Kanye couldn’t accomplish.

He couldn't come close to making a grungy, yet bold and soulful album like this. Kanye isn't the producer Hit Boy is anymore

He flowed way more on this album than kd and kd2

 

[bordeaux]

i didnt care much for the kd projects but i think this is his best performance in a while. he sounds sharper than he has in a long time.
