Is King's Disease the 2020 Stillmatic Intro?:lupe:

Or is that too strong?

I might be caught up in the moment but as an opening track, this was everything and more than I expected :wow:

I need a link to the red vinyl NOW

Ok fr, I’m stressing about this since you cannot cop this anywhere else right now and I cannot cop this in the UK even though I’d happily pay shipping and customs and all that. fukk it, I want the cassette too.

I’ll reach out to some people and see who else might hold it. Hell, even Fatbeats ain’t got it for pre-order yet.

Spicy!! That could have been a fun video and single. shyt was surprisingly a banga. Didn’t like foxy’s voice even though she killed it and I enjoyed mega’s verse a lot. I can’t stop playing blue Benz and spicy though. My two favorites right now. Then that full circle song. But this album is fire!!

After 3 listens. Hit boy gets an A for production, the marriage of modern sound and nostalgic Nas is phenomenal. Like I said earlier in this thread, if you think Nas is the greatest then you should want to hear him over different soundscapes instead of the same "boom Bap and mafioso". This album sounds like no other Nas album which is what you want and a continues and the tradition of Nas have a such a diverse discography. The features were a B in totality. AZ, Durk, Fiv, Fox, Ferg, Dre all did their thing. Sean verse could of been better but still good. The singers also a B. Now Nas rapping was a B-,(IWW is A+ rapping). Since Nas is the greatest, B- rapping can be better than "A" production or "B" features, or A rapping from another artist etc. Nas is floating on here, delivery only get choppy a couple times. Jewels are being dropped everywhere. Obviously songs like '27 Summers' and 'Definition' needed another verse. No real skippables, But only after 3 listens maybe no song will make Nas top 40. Overall very good album. Lot of replay value being this is the only Nas album like this. Too early to see where it falls in his discography. 4 mics after 3 listens. Could be higher. Great job all around

Anderson .Paak and Don Toliver showed up on two well-known rappers' albums this year and killed their appearances on both albums. :wow:

Oh yeah, this album is fire. I don't want to be a prisoner of the moment (like saying that it's better than Life is Good) but this is what Nas makes when he's fully locked in and prepared. People were shytting on his last two albums, let's see what they say about this one. :wow:
