no offense but them king disease albums were better.

Yeah I think its more likely he does another full project with a different great producer or a project with AZ, maybe even The Firm.

But yeah if he did continue with Premier it would be interesting to see what direction it could go in. Nas and Hit-Boy's run had its peaks and valleys. Light Years (imo) is already better than all but 2 of those albums.

If he does something with AZ then Pete Rock needs to be on production.

Get some The World is Yours and Rather Unique level beats and they can't miss.

I still want Nas and Pete on a full album.

I feel like Alchemist and Havoc would be a better fit. Have them 2 do a whole joint and he can’t miss imo.

Yeah album is fire. It’s crazy people act like Alfredo 2 is some classic shyt when Freddy gives you standard slightly above average gangster rap and then turn around and nitpick everything Nas does even though conceptually and lyrically he’s operating at a way higher level. Now you could argue that Alchemist laced Freddy with better beats than Preme did on here but even if that’s true (I’d have to relisten to Alfredo 2) it’s still not enough to warrant the p*ssy ass level of nitpicking I’ve seen about this album.

Gibbs is one of the most overrated rappers of today. Album drops and you won’t hear about any of his bars, any concepts or standout verse of the year contenders but they’ll gas it like it’s an instant classic. The production is the real star on Alfredo 2 and JID murdered him in his own shyt

I've bet bread that Nas is going in soon to do a whole album with Pete. So they better!

An album with Sosa and a Pete project would be what I'm looking for next.

A great discussion

 

[InstantKlassik]

The way I have it right now

1). Kings Disease 3
2). Magic
3). Light-Years
4). Kings Disease 2
5). Magic 3
6). Magic 2
7). Kings Disease

Wow this says a lot. I know you held KD2 really high. I think this is my list too. It’s tough trying to place Magic 3. I love that album but no. 5 sounds low lol.
