Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[George's Dilemma]

Did Nas just put an end to GOAT discussions with this album?

 

[Life is Good]

Ultra Black is so good I almost wish it HADN’T been a single because everybody picked it apart and focused on the throwaway Doja line instead of really appreciating what a great SONG it is.

Now they know it’s greatness!

Idk yet G'z, giving it another week or two. Right now it's close.

And I understand nostalgia and holding past things in the highest of regard, we all do that...but I try hard to be objective with everything. It feels almost disrespectful to say something is better than that 90's great shyt...but I just go off the music. But again, pardon me if I'm buggin right now, I'm a give it some more time to settle in.

It's not

Finally back home and settled,I must've played this album like 8 times during my drive today

First off, Nas is my GOAT so I'm biased up front

With that said....this shyt is great

Nas sounds so fukking comfortable and in his pocket on here. You can tell he had fun making this. I fukks with Nasir but I got the opposite feeling on most of that - where it felt forced as fukk.

Favorite tracks:

BLUE BENZ
TILL THE WAR IS WON
FULL CIRCLE
10 POINTS

10 POINTS

Wrote that shyt 3 times on purpose for some of you bombaclats.

Not a big Big Sean fan but he did his thing, actually all the features except for one killed it.

Hate to say it but Foxy didn't sound great I can't blame her because of her condition AND having to follow up fukking Nas/AZ and Mega who sound like they never stopped rapping together. It was fun hearing her though but it is what it is

My #2 is a ghost so it's impossible for him to compete with Nas at this point but Nas is just etching himself into stone as my #1. Up until LIG I always said Pac/Nas shared the #1 spot,since LIG I've given it to Nas and this further solidifies it. Nobody is coming close to those 2 for me, and Nas man.....fukk

One question for @Ziggiy and my Nas brehs, I've heard it 8 times and it STILL sounds to me like Nas is saying he wishes his pops died instead of his moms. I haven't checked genius yet for lyrics but am I bugging?

"Pops here, moms gone wishing God reversed the roles"

[u mad son?]

Damn I was supposed to see Nas, Dmx, jada and styles live in ldn before this disease shyt went down.

I would have happily not gone to another live concert again after that, I'm too old for them shyts

Yea that caught me too. I was like when I heard it. I had to play it back a few times to make sure I wasn’t missing something

Exactly dude. What other rapper's discography compares?... we are talking about rappers spanning 4 decades. Nas was right on Hot 97, there are only a few, and the other guy dropped with Pharrell yday
