Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[Mastamimd]

Coolest thing about this album is that the hype wasn't that big and the critical acclaim seems natural. Everyone legitimately loves this album.

Even Spicy is dope, IDGAF

Off first listen

Not really a fan of the production. Nothing really caught my ear immediately and something like Blue Benz which did ending up being a let down because the drums were too soft . Those drums on the second half of The Cure is what the album needed more of. That's the highlight of the album. This is kind of a Track Masters vibe but they did it better.

Nas is Nas. This is how an older rapper should approach albums content wise.

AZ the most underrated rapper. Flow always on point

Mega did his thing.

Foxy... Not gonna lie I didn't get through her verse. "Name a bytch fukkin with me" is where I stopped it. Not only did she sound terrible but her verse was off topic. They all sounded mature and she comes in with the dumb shyt. Can't remember the last time a verse ruined a song like this. I gotta put some blame on Nas for letting that ride and not making her send in another verse. Shoulda just called in Nature and took her off.

Didn't care for Durk's verse.

Spicy is going in the recycle bin.

There's not really anything on here that's going to have much repay value. Not a bad album but nowhere near great. I'd say a 7/10 at best.

Stop smoking crack Blue Benz is fire as fukk! Upgrade ya headphones bro.

Where the fukk did this come from. Why is this so wavy.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

So did LT2 as well

Lost Tapes 1 banged in the whip too
I played the shyt outta Purple and Drunk by myself

 

[Robbie3000]

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

Jungle said the same shyt on Illmatic Doc. He said, Pop, you understand.

4 fukkin decades of amazing work.

It almost seems like 2020’s decade might be his best since 90’s.

He seems motivated to keep dropping gems

Jay could never!

Im sure Jay about to come out with some tired, corporate sponsored album to remain relevant.

Smh

 

[Ziggiy]

CAR EIGHTY FIIIIIVVEEEEEEE

 

[Life is Good]

Timbaland!!!!

 

[Imgone8itch]

Not to derail the greatness of this album but hearing full circle really hurts my soul we never got a nas/a.z album. Every time I get over they pop up and sprinkle a little heaven in my ear and I’m right back wishing and wondering

Spicy is dope as fukk.

Que lo quuueeee

 

[S.W.A.G.]

Remember we got another one coming soon - any guesses what 'surprise' this may be?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

This bassline on Full Circle

AZ killed it. Glad to see Cormega show up. Foxy was trash.

The Firm. I could cry.

The Firm is easily peak NY rap. They've never achieved such masterful MCing, beats, and swag. Its criminal Cornega wasn't on that first joint more.

Other PRODUCERS are showing this album love. You KNOW Hit Boy crafted some special shyt with this album.


The last time this happened for a Nas album was Life Is Good. Everyone was going OD complimenting Salaam and No I.D.
