Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[InstantKlassik]

I love how all three of these albums have loose yet consistent concepts or themes - honor, moderation, loyalty, etc - which allow Nas to weave in and out with some pure unfiltered slick shyt, without locking him a rugged "concept album" box. He's really talking his shyt on these Hit Boy albums, especially the last two. Nothing preachy. It's like "here's some jewels, take em or leave em...btw I'm still that dude."

No homo but I love your takes breh lol. Perfect description.

Who was fukking with Nas in 2002 after Stillmatic dropped? You a hater if you say he was not the KONY after Ether.

Blueprint was the bigger and slightly better. Ja was bigger. Em was bigger, nelly

aint nothing wrong with that. It’s everyone’s personal opinion. I’m hyped right now and will give it time but like I stated before, I never bopped this much to a nas album. My neck hurting right now.

I don't work this hard to be around people I don't like..

My Mrs also clocked this line above everything in this project... That hit me the most too.

That's a deep line

This will be the most sought out Nas vinyl. Nas having album called Magic is so classic

But like...how is this the artist's problem?

No one is forced to make long albums with filler.

Also, if we follow this logic then are we just not allowed to compare albums that are different lengths? At some point what you release is what you release, right? It's gotta stand on its own.

And there's longer albums with no major filler too. Blueprint was 15 tracks and had 1 filler joint.
