Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[kej718]

I gave this a 4.5/5. I missed some songs cause I had a couple on repeat after the first few listens..
4.75/5 after 2 days. Only complaint is that some of my favorites are too short, but I think he stopped recording at some point and started again.

4.5/5 it's fire

Gotta give dude his props, Nas pulled up heavy...

What happened to the song with The Dream. He was one of the good things about the Nasir album. "All Bad" is what I expected that to be. Hopefully it makes the Lost Tapes 3? Maybe Dre took it for the rumored album he is doing with Nas?

Nas took it off at the last minute. It was on Google Play and it already made it to YouTube so he was probably debating whether or not it had a place.

It looks like I'm alone in thinking that track is great and it should have been on the album.

I see nikkas saying KD is better than LIG but then I put on "You Wouldn't Understand", "Where Is the Love" and my personal favourite "Stay" and I'm like...naw.

Nothing on KD reaches those heights.

I get it, the MJB joint brings the album down but that album is almost flawless. Almost.

I swear, I'll never understand why "Reach Out" gets so much hate. What is it that people don't like about that song?

 

[mobbinfms]

yes on that song

I disagree.

The sonic cohesion of KD may make for a better album start to finish than LIG, even if the 3 best tracks on that one beat out the 3 best tracks here.

Man, I love Reach Out. Nas with the late 90's clue tape flow.

Anyways, I rate LIG and KD the same. Both are in the 4.5 - 5 mics range.

Someone mentioned how strong LIG starts off with the first 3 songs. Well... so does KD.

Both different bodies of work. Both classics. This kings disease is crazyyyy sonically and it matched nas perfectly.

"You Wouldn't Understand" doesn't sound dated to you?
