Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[MikeStamina]

What the fukk are you talking about cock sucker?

I’m praising the album you dumb fukk

Your genius ass couldn't figure I erroneously added your quote? I was talking to the other guy?
But fvck your mother anyway. With all due disrespect

So many favourites on this but if I had to choose a top 5 it would be:

Legit
Thun
Reminisce
30
Recession Proof

But shyt, nearly the whole album could easily make the top 5.

My only critique, of the album despite it being the best of the series to me, is lot of what Nas is saying and lot of the themes the same as the last 2 but just flipped differently. So I wouldn't beef if this was the last of this run and Nas took a breather for new inspiration. Like KD3 feels like the perfect end to the King's Disease chapter.

Between the KD documentary and the show planned for MSG next month... I think that's a good indicator that this will be the last in the series.

I dunno if dude is even on Nas radar like that but is the "blackball myth" part on I'm On Fire about Ali Vegas?

So going off that Takeoff tribute speech, it looks like Nas has deliberately scaled back the promotional efforts for these albums

I suggest y’all leave that other thread alone. I said my last piece in that thread but that’s it. These cats do this everytime Nas drop an album especially when it gets good reception. It’s hate and not logic. They can’t talk about the music being bad so they resort to “relevance”. When in reality. No irrelevant artist can get the amount of press Nas does. Nas def ain’t the most relevant but he’s damn sure not irrelevant either. He’s relevant to the type of hip hop he makes and that’s a lot of people out there. Griselda, Gibbs, etc etc are very known and relevant but they don’t sell shyt when they drop albums. The game is different these days. Everything ain’t black or white.

Yessir.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Chances are Nas won't go #1 his first week against the likes of Drake & Taylor Swift...but I hope he does 100k first week

He is not doing no damn 100k give it up

Hit Boy is special

Thinking about the whole super producers discussion had me thinking. Hitboy along with Boi-1da, T-Minus, Metro , Mike Will and maybe Mustard were the last of the super producers.
