Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

[ThirdAct]

This shyt just had my 30 minute cardio feel like it ain’t shyt just now. 40-16 had me the most hyped during my workout

I'm saying, it's the perfect runtime for a work out, gonna get a lot of 30-minute sets in on it

Ugly sounds like something 9th wonder wishes he could produce in 2021

Just listening to the aggression and arrogance on some of these songs. He may not be a battle bars/ battle rapper and Ether of course proved it he can go there. But even now listening to joints like Meet Joe Black, Nas still got the skills to battle on wax and destroy people if he had to. Nas underestimated in that realm

trying to work out who some of the lines for on this just in case they’re subs. Part of me thinks Gibbs may have been the one on his mind for some stuff after some of the stuff Gibbs been saying (friendly comp of course). He certainly went at Cole on KD2

I thought a bar on KD 1 was for Cole. I missed the shots on KD2 tho

I make a DISTINCTION with Black Rock n Roll because white folks tried to TAKE it from us. Which is my point. How the fukk does my digging need to learn history? Son u giving me useless information that I know already that I didn’t ask for aint teaching me shyt.

Yet you a DJ, A Black DJ who supposedly are gatekeepers of Our Music it doesn't matter what white people try to take, do you call Black House Artist music Black House, no you don't.

Anyway Black DJ enjoy your night

I don’t work this hard to be around people I don’t like

 

[Yinny]

Damn two releases maybe we’ll get a tour after Covid dies down? I’d really love to see him live

Son at this point u just tryna argue to argue. Wtf are u even talking about? Bottom line is I know music. If u know music that’s fine. But I can’t see how u can listen to Donda with ur music knowledge. And think it’s groundbreaking in any way shape or form.

"I am not the one to go at. You fukk around and Meet Joe Black"

 

[Yinny]

You know this was very good! Not lengthy and he said what he needed to say, well done Nasir

 

[Figaro]

Very early signs from my listening but this has potentially to be better then KD2...

Now imagine if they top all 3 with KD3...

 

[Mega]

Long Live ODB

I absolutely love how Nas explains the Magic title at the end of Dedicated:

Am I a musician or am I a magician?
No tricks, just real shyt straight out the kitchen
Pure magic


This nikka Nas don't need no tricks to create magic

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Just ran it back again while air frying chicken and plantains
Yeah Hollywood Gangsta is that vibe

 

[Zero]

Nas dropped Magic on Christmas Eve and Donald Glover dropped the new trailer for Atlanta on Christmas…




The most high is blessing me something CRAZY

@ALMIGHTY GOD

What about the rest of us?

 

[Controversy]

I've listened a half dozen times

The Truth and second half of Dedicated



I fck with everything on here heavy. The only track that wasn't a 4.5/5 or 5/5 was Hollywood Gangsta, but even that was a solid 4

This was -10 degrees, burner under triple fat goose, black timbs stick up music

He restored the mid 90s gritty feeling with this album
