Nas - Magic 2 (Discussion thread)

[prophecypro]

Some high level lying

 

[Ziggiy]

This is a cool project
First time I heard him talk about the I Am bootlegging on "What This All Really Means"
The Boyz II Men sample on "Black Magic"

him saying he put Pac on to Hennessyyyyyyyy....Let's see how much controversy and interviews from nobodies this sparks...

Funny thing is Wiz told this story on a podcast a few years ago

The fif shyt talk flowing into Nas coming back was brazy.

That was 50’s best contribution

 

[Surreal]

Better intro and beat on EMJ from being a classic

“If I really gotta dumb it down for some of y’all, that’s that magic and KD, at the same time.”

Production-wise a lot of y’all been begging for this. The first Magic was hitboy’s take on an era. This time he dumbed his style down to get nas as much breathing room as possible, but still kept the elements nas needs to sound right on modern production. aka, he was mindful of where Kanye dropped the ball when he tried to produce a nas album.

Is it their best work? Nope. It’s still pretty fukking great tho. Sounds like some of y’all just don’t fukk with hit, but the irony is we don’t get this run without him.

5 good/great/excellent albums in three years. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Gotta run this back to back with KD2 and KD3 to determine my rankings.

Its already above KD1 and Magic 1 for me

This album is light to to the entire Kings Disease series, it's not trash but i expected more the way they hyped this shyt.

Right.....
The way they hyped it by posting it to Instagram
I wonder how long that meeting lasted...

I was expecting that line to spark a Stan war by now, but everybody too busy trashing HB. Im gonna wait a few pages and drop that bar again and then see if I can make people furious

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Motion is weird because the beat and verses are excellent but that hook is super-mid to me, nearly takes me out everytime

Breh nikkas will just say ANYTHING. Nas posted three teasers on IG, the cover and the tracklist. Hit Boy posted ONE teaser and the cover and tracklist.


All the hype came from the FANS due to the incredible work they’ve putting in. And that streak continues

 

[hitmonlee]

Early I kinda like this better than Magic 1

I like it a lot more than magic 1

 

[JustCKing]

And nobody's saying that you can't be critical of Nas or Hit Boy. Its just the whole notion of "Nas needs to stop working with Hit Boy" that is something beyond criticism.

Had to be trolling, Apollo is better than he used to be, but come on, I can hear the snares and reused samples already
