Official Nas Thread

[Figaro]

When Nas does the U.K he does a full fledge tour, numerous shows (few spots in London, Birmingham, Manchester & Bristol etc)

If I'm not mistaken i think he's only doing 1 or 2 shows maximum per country at the moment.

I'm going to see him in Paris. Judging by what I saw in his last performances he's mixing a lot of his new stuff on his sets. That's a good thing to see how the new tracks sounds live. His catalogue is very deep. Hope he don't leave it ain't hard to tell on his set list. I didn't hear it on his Detroit concert

What is everyone expecting from KD3? Any particular sound, features?? Etc.

If my GOAT MC gets a Sade, Ghostface, or an OutKast feature :

Songs like this is what separate nas from everyone. This low one of my favorite nas records.

Quick question. When Magic dropped, did Hot 97 or the Breakfast club have any YouTube clips discussing the album that anybody watched? I don’t remember seeing anything.

Hot 97 posted about it on their instagram but I don’t think they did any real talking/discussion about it.

Breakfast Club didn’t say shyt

It was a surprise release the day before Christmas, that's probably why it didn't get talked about that much. The year was over in music publications/hip hop medias' mind. it didnt get mentioned in "best of 2021" lists because of that as well.

But I don't think Nas and Hit-Boy intended the album to be as "big" as both King's Disease volumes. Keep in mind the merch, CDs, vinyls... went on sale months after it dropped.
It was mostly a gift to fans, 9 tracks, raw hip-hop, no fillers.

Yea that’s true. I was just randomly thinking about those 2 in particular. Because that album definitely warranted being talked about even after the New Years break, but I know how that goes by now when it comes to Nas. Definitely raw hip hop though you right.

Any idea if KD3 is already done and ready to drop when suitable ? Cause he seems to have started touring which would potentially mean less time for recording. Obviously he has no obligation to release it this year but he has been spoiling us lately so that's the hope.

Maybe after the Game "hype" dies down (due to the Hit Boy association) we can enjoy the new installment in the series, so fingers crossed for August 2022.

Let's go Escoooooo !!!

Lot of big albums coming. Dunno when they're gonna drop but I'd imagine the fall. September, October.
