Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[Tetris v2.0]

Nas really trying to make these projects eventful and I appreciate it. The Firm reunion on 1, Eminem verse on 2, Premier scratches on Magic 1, no guests at all on 3 and now Fif on Magic 2. I like that

 

[Ziggiy]

I think 50 might be the most exciting guest feature of this run

More exciting than Lauryn Hill???

 

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

50 and GOAT.

I could cry.

 

[Neuromancer]

Do we have a track list?

 

[ThirdAct]

Can someone tell me which song by Nas and hit boy is a classic?

I have a lot of "personal classics" from these albums but I'll give you three from every album that I think are undeniable:

Car #85
10 Points
The Cure

Rare
Store Run
Nobody

Speechless
Ugly
The Truth

Legit
Thun
Michael & Quincy

 

[Tetris v2.0]

This album was slept on IMO

I didn't really dig the other CNN albums after their debut but this was solid

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Cant have a Nolan movie open up on the weekend without a Nas album dropping

This is 4th time Nas has dropped a project the same week/weekend as a Nolan film dropped

Untitled Dark Knight
Life is Good Dark Knight Rises
Kings Disease Tenent
Magic 2 Oppenheimer

CRAZY OBSERVATION

Trying to figure out how to just go to sleep for the next 72 hours,

I hope the joint with him and 50 is some throwback Queens summer “Before I Let Go” hood picnic type shyt. “Office Hours” just sounds like they gon be talkin that fly big paper shyt,

Last 4 albums I listened to for the first time while on a plane…this the only one I got nothing planned…smh, I’m about to just fly to PA real quick for no reason on Friday just to not fukk up the hot streak

Worth it to celebrate a Nas release

 

[Dre Space Age]

Agreed.

On his own do I enjoy hit boy more than the other producers mentioned here? No

But with the chemistry he has with Nas and how Nas feels the urge to create on such prolific level working with hit to go on to make 4 dope albums in 2 years if it isn’t broke why fix it?

Before hitboy it took Nas 6 years to make anything new and 8 years before a new full album I can’t complain

Would I be mad if he went in another direction this album? No but let’s not act like another Nas and hit album would be tough to take

If you would have told me three years ago Nas would find one producer to work with and drop 4 dope albums in 2 years I’d say you’re crazy and where do I sign up for that

word! anyone who has followed Nas career knows this is unprecedented Nas behavior. We getting more songs from him than Tupac, DMX and Lil Wayne in their hardest working era.
