Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[DontEemTry]

This is the sharpest Nas has sounded in a long time to be honest. Lyrically this shyt is flames. Content wise it's pretty much standard Nas, a lot of topics he's always rapped about. Gotta say I'm not feeling the features too much, the switch from Nas to Sean for example is pretty jarring even though Seans verse is nice, it just seems out of place on a Nas album

IWW 5
Illmatic 5
LIG 4.5
Stillmatic 4.5

Now can yall finally stop asking for Primo and Pete Rock... Nas and Hit boy need to run it back next year.

Love what Hit-Boy did on this album....but one more Primo song is my new moby whale for Nas, especially now that we got the Firm reunion...JUST for old times sake! We got two dope Pete songs on LT2 so Im good on that...

Gonna be real interesting to see what Hit does for Benny...

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I might get negged for this...

But after 3 o 4 listens.....

This is the best Nas album since Stillmatic.
shoutout to Durk and Big Sean for surprising me with fire.

Google music doesnt have track listing except for ultra black.

Every track is just Track - number

 

[Deadman187]

Alot of these songs could have done with an extra verse (27 Summers and Definition especially)

And Don Toliver is trash to me, I dont get the appeal at all

Overall I give it a 7/10

Im probably more relived than anything. I dont think this will win over any illmatic/old school Nas fans but it seems to have had a positive reaction with the younger audience. Hopefully it sticks and the reviews are positive and its not just a one night high. His rhyming is on point. I can only see some people hate hes not got longer verses but this is decent and I hope it gets remembered as such

Yo shun! i got to that Big Body Blue Benz
