Hit-Boy was on Too Short's Sirius show yesterday and confirmed that him and Nas are working on the next one. We pretty much already knew that but now we know it again.
Same here. I feel like they combined the lyrics from Magic, the song writing from KD2 and the anthems from KD1. Plus I dig the concepts on KD3 (Mike & Quincy, Once a Man, Beef, First Time, Don't Shoot, etc).
I definitely see the argument for Magic though. It's not often a project comes together that well.

IDK I'm always going to lean towards the pissy hallway Nas sound. It's that sound that made me a fan in the first place. KD2 has some insane highs but Magic takes me back to the project daysplus his rapping on there
If you told me this was 96 98 era unreleased Nas I would believe you
With KD3 is just so damn consistent when the biggest complaint is "That song isn't better than the one I played before it's still really good" across 17 fukking songs in 2022 is damn near unheard of. Especially for someone who been in the game for 30 years & 49
Agreed on Magic. It’s the best project of the 4 followed very closely by KD3. I get preference or whatever but KD3 is easily the best of the KD projects and it was painfully obvious during the show. Like the entire MSG concert was uphill, meaning it got better and better as the night went along.
Magic>KD3>>>KD2>>>>>>>KD1
Nas is Good!

I'm honestly surprised u don't rate Magic higher.
Magic is straight bars. I’ve ALWAYS been more of a fan of Nas as an artist than Nas as a straight spitter. Death Row East, Rare, Store Run, Moments, Composure, Nobody, My Bible, Nas Is Good. THATS the greatest of MC of all time because nobody has the perspective or the ability to tell a story or the eye for detail that Nas does. Its why Untitled is my personal favorite Nas album. Its why It Was Written>>>>>Illmatic for me. Its why I bump Distant Relatives at least twice a month for the past 12 years.
Magic is great, but in my opinion its for the trapped in the 90’s nikkas. Kings Disease 2 (and now KD3) is more indicative of who Nas is as a person and the creative direction that keeps him relevant. That plus its Hit Boy’s best ever production job in my opinion

Speaking of Distant Relatives. That album is so ahead of its time. Especially now that the afrobeats/dancehall fusion wave is going crazy right now. That album would've did numbers if dropped right now imo. And would be far more appreciated.

While I feel like KDIII / Magic > KDII > KD, KDII got the most highs and songs I go back to the most

I agree with this. I love KD3 but KD2 and Magic have a special place for me.
Actually, I think i'll go.

One the songs that separates him from most the amount of content in this classic
