Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[King Ming]

I agree. I feel like this is different than his last release. For KD1 I think people were expecting the worst from Hitboy and then pleasantly surprised when they dropped a dope album that could actually add on to Nas's legacy.

For KD2, it feels like a lot of people are kinda quietly coming to the realization that Nas might've dropped an instant classic.

Nikkas is hating... As expected! Lol

Most celebs don't fukk with Nas like that coz he isn't part of their "celebs circles"... Dude rarely hangs out with them like that

Watch this story by HIT-BOY AKA Tony Fontana on Instagram before it disappears.

Huge compliment from Jazzy Jeff. Hitboy posted on his Instagram story. Calls it the best album he's heard in 20 years.

Dj Jazzy Jeff didnt lie. It might be the best album I've heard the last 20 years and I'm not joking.

Fuuuck no! The Game/Black Maybe/Misunderstood/ Southside/Forever Found. Some or Com’s most inspired work

Fair enough. I remember liking all those songs. I'll revisit whenever I take a break from KD2.

Black Maybe is one of my fav songs of the 2000s.

My mind goes to Late Registration… so yeah, it’s not even really hyperbole at this point

Really breh? I remember thinking it was cool at the time, but that's the album where Common started to get kinda corny to me.

Yeah Finding Forever is pretty weak. Essentially Be but way more boring. At least it had The People though.

I’m trying to decide if Kings Disease 1 & 2 are better than Be & Finding Forever as far as rapper/producer duo albums.


Its close because objectively speaking Be is better than Kings Disease 1 but Kings Disease 2 is better than Finding Forever and RIGHT up there with Be. Finding Forever is legit a 4.5 Mic album in its own right

Right

whatever line Nas had about features in his career was a subliminal to J Cole. i forget the exact line Nas had, but i think it was a sub at J Cole for him bragging about going platinum with no features for years

the person who asked me before and why would Nas go at him, i think it would be because Cole turned on Nas over the Kelis drama

 

[Ball]

Maybe the unreleased 2pac diss headlines a few weeks ago were pushed by Nas' camp

Interesting comparison.

Finding forever is the weakest of the 4.

Be is flawless tho...

Be>KD2>>>>>>>>>>>KD1>>>Finding Forever

 

[I'm Blackman]

Michael Jackson
Miles Davis
Bob Dylan

That's it. Great company to be ranked amongst

You right...excellent company.

A few people have brought up the following lines and point to Cole's album being "The Off Season", and how Nas has played it cool regarding Cole's comments on the Kelis situation.

"Hurtin’ nikkas, I think they out for the rest of the season
Tried to play it cool, they don’t wanna see me heated, nah"

Who knows though...
