Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[Pop123]

On my 3rd listen...first two in my car this one on quality headphones.....

That's madd important...this album should be experienced only on high level sound equipment, especially to appreciate Hitboy's genius like it should be appreciated.

Cherry Wine is but this is a close second

Cherry Wine is dope but I feel like it's a song you gotta be in a certain mood for. Honestly thats how I feel about LIG overall compared to the KD series.

Hit-Boys stock has jumped significantly. Between both KD albums, Burden of Proof and a lot of the other stuff he’s created…..I hope he mixes it up and does full projects for others.

He did Nas, Benny, Big Sean, and I believe Dom Kennedy last year.


Thats four full lengths in one year






I’d LOVE to see what kind of work a Hit Boy produced Raekwon album would sound like.


Also him and Freddie Gibbs is rumored.


It won’t happen but Kanye could REALLY use him right now..

Hit Boy is a MASTER at the cinematic type of production. He’d give Raekwon a PERFECT canvas for OBFCL3

I would honestly rather Rae with Alchemist, Madlib, Harry Fraud, even Roc Marci, etc etc.

The sequencing is so good. In an era where albums are just a collection of songs to stream, they dropped an album that feels like a journey. The intro feels like an intro is supposed to feel. Next few tracks hit you hard in the face. Middle tracks have a mellow vibe with nostalgia themes and the love songs. And then the end is like an emotional rollercoaster with the last 3-4 tracks hitting you in the heart/brain.

This is spot on, accurate description. shyt is just cohesive, and just flows. Everything in it's right place. A complete, immaculate puzzle.

You all don't put "Queens Story" on your LIG lists???? Nas was a gorilla on that....

I only play the Green Lantern remix over the Marvin Gaye instrumental

Hit Boy can sprinkle bits of all of their styles in what he’d cook up for Rae PLUS Rae would get more of a commercial boost from the association.




If Rae announces “OBFCL3 Produced By Hit Boy” it automatically becomes one of the most anticipated projects of the year. All the hipster publications of the moment (Complex, Pitchfork, etc) would be covering it. It would be a true EVENT album.

 

[Dirty D]

Is it just me or are there a couple of Xzibit homages on this album?

The "purists" may have a problem with it tho. Hitboy's sound is too "big"...despite how amazing it is. I agree with you tho.

I agree 100%, and I think this is what Hitboy's rant where he shyt on Kanye is really mostly about. You can tell he gets emotional just talking about what he did with Nas cause he knows how much work went into every little detail of it.

Love it when Nas says:

Stood on stages most never cAn
Pyrotechnics and leather pants

then the beat picks up

Makes me every time
