Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[spliz]

The first 5 on there along with Nas and Vince are absolute quality.

Makes for a solid year in Hip Hop all around.

Roc and Al’s album has an 81 on Metacritic btw

Deserves a 90. Lol.

Listened to the Budden podcast

Again, knowing that Budden is an unrepentant Hov stan, this review by him and the team is the equivalent of Miss Info’s 5 Mic Source Review lol. He all but said Nas is the GOAT without saying it. There are absolutely NO flaws in the album, which is why his “critique” was precedented on the notion that it was “Just for the Mount Rushmore” of MC’s, so that he COULD give Jay-Z points for that overrated ass God Did verse.

The god did verse the most overrated verse the past 2 decades

Although Nas & Hit-Boy make a fantastical team and go so well together.....
I would love that Nas Preemo album.
I would simply LOVE to hear an entire album with Nas & Preemo working together, on an entire album.
I'm sure those NY Preemo beats would push Nas to drop some harder shyt

I hope we get it before May 2023

I think Drill Music In Zion deserved to be in the 80’s and oddly enough, Her Loss deserved better than the low 60’s. Its leaps and BOUNDS better than Honestly Nevermind

Yea thats what some other posters plus ole girl that works in Nas camp enlightened me on.

Had no idea before this month that Tik Tok counted for streams. If thats true that one R.Kelly “Knees Shake” song should be triple platinum because thats ALL I see black women doing that little dance too.

Not sure that's correct though

Matthew Wilder’s “Break My Stride,” a one-hit wonder from almost 40 years ago, has been listened to millions of times by the app’s users. Almost 800,000 TikTok users have posted goofy videos featuring the song.

Does that make it a hit?

TikTok alone won’t get Wilder back on the Billboard chart — Billboard doesn’t track the plat form

TikTok helps songs go viral, but does it make them hits? - Marketplace

Billboard doesn't track plays on TikTok, but viral memes can help drive listens on other platforms.

Yeah those are good to great albums as well.

Safe to say she is wrong on the whole streaming process tho
- tiktok doesn't count
- when you download the album and then play it, it does count as a stream (even if you play it offline, it will count it as soon as u back online)
- streaming with muted sound does count

The whole "Nas fans don't know how to stream that's why sales are low" was straight up bullshyt fake news

Thank you, I've been sayin this for years ! a lot of nas' album have unreleased cuts that blew away a lot of the retail ones. lets rearrange iam and nastradamus to the double disc, some tracks on stillmatic, streets disciple, hhid untitled and lig and you got way better albums. the beats are good for the style nas have. no overproduced shyt or to synthetics. his beats got soul and age pretty well if you compare to vol 2 and 3 jay z for example

hit boy got rid of the extra filler tracks, you can press play on any of the hit boy series and it flows well

the so called backpackers only critique nas on his beats just cause with no real arguments. mega got almost all the illmatic producers on born again and no one praised that album. no one check for primo and large pro beats outside the nas conversation. no one praised the 2 pete rock beats on lost tapes 2. if nas were to get produced by them, they would procede to say it's not illmatic

Ima post that video from royce once again, denoucing the hypocrisy of these backpacker sheeps

"The Art of It" was a disgusting song. I even have it memorized. But everybody ignored it, so I don't want to hear any more complaints.

That guy Royce was arguing with is a complete moron. He had literally no arguments.

-Kept repeating the same thing like he forgot what he just said
-Had no examples of Nas' bad beats, because the songs were so bad, he couldn't remember them
-Mentioned his first three albums as the only ones he can listen to
-Named "Cops Shot the Kid" as a beat he liked, the worst beat on the album

These "Nas picks bad beats" people are all the same.

Nas did that with Nasty on LIG. But that’s not really how he crafts albums.

I think Salaam Remi had to convince Nas to make that song, because Nas doesn't feel challenged by songs like that. It's something he could do in his sleep. But apparently, that's what inspired Kanye to make "Otis."

I literally haven’t met a person in real life Jay fan or not who thought that verse was all that. Lol
