I'm not sure, a lot of vids/pics on that account are cropped Instagram stories or post from other people.
Nahh I’m telling you I thought the same. They are definitely apart of the team in some capacity. Now what their title is. I’m not sure.

I could be wrong but wasn’t there a different beat for Queen’s Story in the listening sessions? It was a Marvin Gaye sample but they couldn’t clear it for the release.
You are correct. He performed it one time and it sounded super fire with the Marvin Gaye sample

So what's everyone hunch on the KD3 release date ? Do you think we're getting it in august like the first two or later this year ?
I personally feel that it's not coming out before August 12th and Drillmatic's release, it would be cool to do a "Hit-Boy takeover"
Drillmatic - August 12th
KD3 or Hit-Boy solo album - August 19th
KD3 or Hit-Boy solo album - August 26th

I'm starving for news. :bryan:

Im hoping for August 5th or 19th. 26th might be too close to beginning the tour. :patrice:

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
Am I the only one who didn’t really like LIG :lupe:
I wouldn’t go that far because there’s some incredible shyt on there but it’s little uneven for me because I do not like Summer on Smash or World’s an Addiction at all. Brings the album down in the middle. Also I think the collab with Ross on Accident Murderers is just alright. Everything else I find good to great. Hard not to like an album with Loco-Motive, A Queen’s Story, Cherry Wine, Bye Baby, to name a few standout tracks.

I've always loved Life Is Good but lot of the songs have grown on me over time.

I used to routinely skip the sequence of Daughters, Reach Out, World's An Addiction, Summer on Smash and You wouldn't understand. then get back to it with Back When and album pure heat to the end of the bonus tracks

But now i fukk with Reach Out, World's an Addiction and You Wouldn't Understand. Daughter's is cool concept and respect Nas for doing it but it's bit like I Can. Not a song I go back to often. Summer on Smash still trash of course

Albums a classic to me and aged very well.

yeh back then i was in a bit of a phase of just wanting that boom bap type stuff so i somewhat dismissed Reach Out (i think i had Braveheart Part associations) and You Wouldn't Understand., then starting playing them and was like 'oh shyt. These absolute fire'

It’s definitely a classic album. The bonus tracks more than make up for Daughters and Summer on Smash.

nikkaz didn't like Daughters?:mjtf::wtf:

i like Daughter's. It's a great song and again shows Nas' versatility. It's just a song you sort of got be in the mood for. Same goes for Dance. Classic song but not something i can vibe to all the time. Not a track you will always play when you get it on shuffle for example

I know I've said this before but I wouldnt be surprised if KD 3 isnt coming out soon. With the previous 3 albums we saw Nas hanging out with Hit all the time and hes been elsewhere doing moves and hes got this tour now. Hit conversely has been busy since the start of the year with other projects, some of which only just came out (Snoop came out earlier but Game, Dom Kennedy, that chick he did an EP with all been out or coming) I know Nas got a tour end of August but I wouldnt want them to rush shyt out now.
Illmaticesco on twitter earlier in the year hinted Nas had a lot of stuff recorded and the only challenge was picking the songs which made it sound like maybe hes done stuff, but earlier today she was said when talking about how refreshed Nas sounds she did mentioned it needs to be recorded when someone asked when its coming out.

Now I do think there's a good chance in the interim that maybe a Nas/Primo album comes because she also said that the clips we saw promoting the Hip Hop 50 track were Nas an Preem doing other stuff so who knows.

I need Hit and Nas to get a solid 3 months or whatever to get in that zone and chemistry and complete the run. I think its a priority for both of them too as they've mentioned it
