Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[ChiTownGuevera]

In terms of no skippable songs this is probably in Nas top 5 discography

Illmatic
IWW
Lost Tapes
Kings Disease
Stillmatic


But in terms of pure rapping and concepts it's somewhere in the middle of the catalog

The production on this album is on point...best nas produced album since It Was Written if we being real about it

 

[ChiTownGuevera]

The numbers can and will go up if Nas makes more rounds by Friday. Breakfast Club, LA leakers, Angie, and Sway. Best part is he doesn't have to leave his house to do them.

This is what I was talking about...he needs that mainstream traction

@Mastamimd Care to explain why you negged me for supporting Nas you certified bytch?

 

[criminology]

Lets stop being silly.


Nas made her the Exec Producer so that if he died she would always be financially taken care of. He already said that. I’d do the exact same thing for my daughter

It’s just a joke.

I'm just stating facts....for it to do that numbers without mainstream traction is a very hard feat in itself...on top of that you add fickLe hip hop fans on the message board and blogs that always complains about mumble rappers but never go out and support their fave rappers....I've seen this movie too many times pleighboi

Killers white boy band is number 1 currently on iTunes album...you know why white people go out of their to support their own no matter how washed up they are

But hip hop fans that claimes to be purists on the other hand

Bet you not everyone that commented on this thread has actually purchased the album

The album is dope probably a classic later down the line but it is what it is

Nas is number one on the iTunes chart now.

I purchased the digital and physical CD from the Nas store. The physical CD ships in 8 weeks... that still counts as a purchase for this week, right?

Yes it should

Still no physicals for the rest of the world

You can't get it from Nas | Official Store It looks like they are shipping it around the world it will just take 8 weeks.

I enjoy NASIR but can understand the hate. For me the mixing is the main issue. But from day one, I've been a defender of the album. I rank it last but it's still a solid 3.5 mic album with 2 legit gems on it (Everything and Adam & Eve). The album is not trash my any means.

Kanye ruined it for everyone. It didn't seem like they gelled and it was rushed cause he was working on other albums at the time. WTF? Hit Boy showed a Legend the respect he deserved, and we got a great finished product.

Nasir is an average album. The highs aren’t not that good. It’s a cool album for Nas but Kanye and Nas can produce a better project than that. I’d rather listen to the highs on every other Nas album. 3.25/5

Y'all kill me with these decimal ratings..lol

I think some of us have a different Nasir album
The one I have contains pretty good highs

White Label
Adam n eve
Everything
Simple things

But hey, opinions are like......

(The Firm Reunion has generated a positive response from Hip Hop Fans across the World)

"Full Circle" has been a Top Trending video on Youtube since Friday. It has the highest views of any song thus far from the album on Youtube. It's gotten a lot of tweets as well. Definitely need a video for that. "Car #85" could a manageable video to shoot for this climate. Just have NaS getting picked up and driving around New York. With Charlie Singing as well. Of course "All Bad" should be considered another Video that could be done with Anderson. I already said "Spicy" was single material in my review. He could really work this album. As far as Charts. NaS's last 3 Releases.

Life is Good - #1 on the Charts (2012)
Nasir - #5 on the Charts (2018)
Lost Tapes 2 (Compilation) - #10 on the charts (#1 Digital Albums Sales) (2019)

NaS always does well on the charts with his albums because people love NaS's full Body of work more than just singles. I won't be surprised but another high chart appearance with "King's Disease". People sleep on how consistent NaS's albums have done across these last 3 decades.

My god this shyts on every album that came out this year even that forgettable hyped up Jay electronica album


On another note just made 16k this week flipping bitcoins and my namesake just dropped an album I can really relate to on a personal level

Things looking up alright for me after a horrible 2months period

 

[kej718]

Remember that thread last week about what artist have 5 Classic Albums. Nas just solidified himself in my opinion.
Illmatic
It Was Written
The Lost Tapes
Stillmatic
King's Disease
I would even put Distant Relatives up there.

 

[L. Deezy]

Just gave it back to you for him

Just gave it back to you for him

I gave him 10 more for his pain and suffering.
