Wasn't both the reddit leaker and the Twitter bird talking about something coming up, and we would soon find out why they pushed out Magic 3 so quickly? I thought we'd get some news by now.

Both the reddit leaker and the plug chick walked those statements back. Either whatever it was that was scheduled to drop has either been pushed back or it was cancelled.

"Never Die" all throughout the Video


I still think Wayne went ballistic on there but, not for nothing, he rhymed "line" maddddddddd times, lol. I never noticed until a couple days ago. I still respect maintainin the flow and cadence the entire verse but yeah, he was heavy on the "line"

was listening to IWW the other day. Even though Nas is universally considered Top 5 all time I think he is underappreciated in the wilder world of art. People always praise Bob Dylan for writing so well at such a young age but Nas was younger and wasn't using some lame ass "write a bunch of lyrics, cut them up and reassemble them" method of composing lyrics.

I got the week off and been listening to so many Nas albums that my entire YouTube algorithm is giving me nothing but random Nas shhit at this point, 😆. Just saw this, didn’t click yet but it looks like it could be interesting..

Some unexpected Top 5s. I can appreciate the God's Son love though.

The Top 5 Nas albums is serious debate. Like, you could really get a different Top 5 with legit arguments as to why each selection should be there. After Illmatic, the other four slots are up for grabs. You have people that have Lost Tapes in there (I'm one of them) where others don't see Lost Tapes as a legit album. There's people that have God's Son up there (again, I'm one of them), but feel like he's dropped better albums. To me, God's Son was the victory lap that capped off the battle and solidified Nas. There's people that feel Life Is Good is in Top 5. I can't argue against that because it was another milestone in his career.

Then it's like Nas has an entire career from 2020-2024 with the Hit Boy run.

Life Is Good slightly edges out Gods Son for me.

1). It Was Written
2). Illmatic
3). Stillmatic
4). Life Is Good
5). Kings Disease 3


Lost Tapes is a compilation, not an album so I don’t rank it even though i obviously love it. But just like Greatest Hits albums shouldn’t be ranked, Lost Tapes shouldn’t be ranked in my opinion.


Untitled is also a personal favorite of mine with INCREDIBLE highs but KD3 objectively is a better album
