Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[spliz]

it's a dope collection of songs. nikkaz want it to be an album

Yea it’s not like the first Lost Tapes which was basically a cohesive album. The songs on that one only spanned like 2-3 years tops. With a few of em that were recorded not even a full year before the release of it.

Lets not​

Why not? This is a celebration of Nas successfully merging what makes him great and the current state of things

It would be excellent

Lets not​

the funny thing is adding cardi to the remix would push it number 1

either way, great album

Probably the first nas album I’ve listened too since stillmatic (which I really liked).

I like this album, tho I think the more contemporary songs caught and held my attention more than the older sounding joints, aside from full circle and blue Benz.

Favorite tracks are:
Blue benz
War is won
Spicy
27 summers
Full circle

Nas is on point lyrically, but is losing his ferociousness (on purpose? adult delivery?) on his vocals. If he wasn't spitting such knowledge alot of these would border on 'boring' songs. I'ma keep like 4 of these in rotation. Better than NASIR and Lost Tapes 2, but all 3 of these projects have been disappointing for Nas standards, and don't top ANY of his older albums. The God is getting old though, and I'm still surprised he can put out such efforts this late into his career when most would be putting out straight garbage. Legacy not tarnished with this, still in my top 3.

foh

Just sounds mad dated on a pretty progressive sounding album breh

Was it that song Swizz played a snippet of?

 

[JustCKing]

How many narratives did Nas kill with this album?

1. Nas can't pick good beats

2. Nas doesn't know how to rap on modern beats

3. Nas is off beat

4. Nas can't make bangers



So far, I'm counting four. Add on.

Nah I wish. Lol

Bruh. I don’t like to shyt on people’s opinion n shyt. But yo. Some of these nikkas gotta start realizing the music ain’t the problem. It’s them. Lol

Yep. Got blogs out here calling shyt forgettable after 2 days while the album still ringing out and getting plaudits. I can’t be letting these people put this energy out there.
