Nas - King’s Disease (Discussion Thread)

[T.he I.nformant]

I’ma always remember listening to this album the night it dropped; shyt was a fun listen

I stayed up and played that shyt back to back to back

I fell asleep to it

It was epic

The feeling I had was the one I’ve always wanted from that first few listens

It was the first Nas album in a long time where I could say it was undeniable—I just hit play and let it go; no skips

Even the middle part where the tone clearly changed was solid; no wack joints at all

Just an overall dope ass fukking album—everything I wanted and more

Hit-Boy laced him something crazy, too; production fit him perfectly and had range and variety

As a lifelong fan I’m glad to see him putting out quality shyt at this stage in his career

I’m glad he did it his way too; collabs were different and unexpected but they all worked for me

Salute to the GOAT

In 9th's defense though that would sting me hard too. Imagine a legendary rapper saying that to you, it would hurt. Nas do got a point though, 9th's always had weak drums.

That shyt that make ya soul burn slow lol.

then he should make beats Nas can't say no to, not act like a bytch

Damn grammy nomination in 2020 is super dope.

"it's funny I once said
If I, ever make a record, I take a cheque
And put something away for a rainy day to make my exit
But look at me now, ten years deep
Since the project bench with crack in my sock, asleep
I never asked to be top of rap's elite
Just a ghetto child tryna learn the crafts of the streets
But look at me now"

Yo! I'm crying laughing right now.. You serious??

Haha fair enough. Maybe he'll get there on the 1000th beat he sends to Nas.

Man fukk 9th. Lets not even give him no more energy.


NAS is the one whose the legend and still culturally relevant after 30 years in the game. And NAS is the one with the Grammy nomination. So let’s celebrate NAS.

Variety makes the case that Nas and Gibbs deserved AOTY nominations in addition to their Rap Album noms

Why Is the Grammys 2021 Album of the Year Category Whiter Than Usual? - Variety

 

[Nostalgic]

Whom else got their physical copies?

I check Target and FYE the last couple days and no luck
Seems like I might just have to cop this joint online (Somthing I don't like doing, I'm old skool)

Nas sat back watched him remix his album threw his face on his body on an album cover to his most personal album going thru the death of his mother. The cover probably had some sentimental value to him. Then proceeds to watch dude take Victory laps for creating something all the while chastising his original work and telling the world his ear for beats are horrible.. Years later he continues to chastise him for his production choices.. So Nas says send me a batch and doesn't use any of his beats just to tell him to his face ur Shyt was basic lol Man the Ether Nas serves up is just different man.

I second this. I said from the jump King's Disease was AOTY worthy and not just rap album of the year.
