just checked The Dream track. It's decent but if it was on the album I'd probably say it's the weakest track so glad it didn't make it

I’ve not listened to the album yet but where can I peep that track they left off? I wanna throw that in where it was on the tracklist leak when I listen to the album and see how it sounds within the context of the album as a whole

I said it three years ago and nikkas doubted me but I was right.


I KNEW that Nas would come out swinging on his first album that dropped fully on Mass Appeal. He’s setting up the third chapter of his career with this album.


Chapter 1: Columbia era Illmatic-Streets Disciple

Chapter 2: Def Jam era Hip Hop Is Dead- Nasir

Chapter 3: Mass Appeal era King’s Disease



If you notice every Nas era begins and ends with a controversial album that also comes full circle within that era’s timeline. Illmatic To Streets Disciple marked Nas as the wise but fierce street poet turned Don and culminated in a merging of the two. Hip Is Dead to Nasir marked a conceptual and experimental stage where every album metaphorically stood for something greater than himself and culminated in a wild freewheeling undertaking between himself and the “mad scientist” Kanye West.



I’m EXTREMELY interested to see what King’s Disease ultimately unlocks within Nas for this third chapter.
