Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[Piff Perkins]

I love how the Firm track subverts what we all expected man. That's grown man shyt, the most mature track they've ever done. And I love how Foxy comes thru like aite that cool but fukk that shyt I'm still THAT bytch.


I'll review later but man...this has some of Nas' best songwriting. You can tell he worked closely with Hit Boy and the other producers. The flows, the way they're married to the beat, the bridges, the hooks, everything man. Like on All Bad...

Texting me that they hate my one word answers
Here's two: call me
This is you, stalling

These are like...pop sensibilities. I don' mean pop in terms of bubblegum music or whatever, I'm talking about songwriting and rapping melodically to create climaxes or noteworthy parts of the track.

27 Summers is hard as fukk son...

Ohhh Kings Disease / Corona Virus

I'm slow

I don't get that correlation

Kings Disease is a reference to gout

 

[Ziggiy]

This album is FIRE. Is there going to be a Deluxe edition of the album? Also I heard he has a track with Jay Electronica, is that true?

No

It’s actually Gout, from overindulging.


Gout was historically known as "the disease of kings" or "rich man's disease". It has been recognized at least since the time of the ancient Egyptians.

HitBoy did his motherfukking thing on the boards

 

[ShaDynasty]

I'm glad Hit Boy went for the soulful/R&B approach than the club/ trap type of tracks he's done.

Need to listen to this a few more times to say how good it is. I definitely appreciate The Circle, 27 Summers, Replace Me, Ultra Black, Til the War is won already.
