Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[Robbie3000]

'Spicy' is another phenomenal addition to the album. That and '27 Summers' was going off in the streets last night. It was great strategically calling it a "bonus" song. Once again shoutout out to Nas for never just doing what his fans/critics want him to do and always pushing himself artistically. That is the only reason hes the greatest of all time....

He is the definition of a true artist. Thank god he doesn’t listen to critics.

we need to protect Nas at all costs

After sitting with the album a bit, this is the 3rd best Nas album (not counting The Lost Tapes) to me.

Still can’t mess with 6-9, but maybe they will grow on me.

The Definition sounds dope as fukk with some good headphones

Nas flowing on that one

Do you really think so? In terms of better highs, consistency, or both?

I've been playing just 4 songs on repeat today, (Car 85 is a gem), but maybe I need to get faded and listen to the whole thing again.

Nonetheless regardless of how I felt the album on first listen, I'm glad he's getting big buzz and praise for this. Genius of an artist to stay relevant through all these years.

I hate to rank Nas albums against themselves because the bar is unfairly high. I got Illmatic, IWW, and LIG as my top 3. It’s personally too early for me to rank this one with the rest but in no way would it be a slight to this album to not crack that top 3.
