Nas - Magic (Discussion Thread)

"I'm on offense everyday until I see the Love"

Dude is going to keep dropping classics until his naysayers tap out.

Hate is stronger than Love in these times. Haters will never fold. Look at em....they doing this to a damn near 50 yr old MC. As I said before, imagine H.E.R or Adele critiquing Stevie Wonder music. That wouldn't fly AT ALL. There's money into disrespecting Nas. Dudes have monetized Nas slander since 1996

Exactly. It was ALWAYS about the production tho. And that’s the point im making. I don’t even know why this is an argument. Nas gets unfair criticism and boxed in when it comes to his beats. U still have a section of people shytting on the beats on these Hit Boy albums. If Nas did nikkas In Paris. They would say the beat is wack.

Yup. Which is why some keep bringing up the boom bap producers of the 90s when they downplayed the Trackmasters (IWW) or currently downplay, Hitboy

So u think it gets any where near the criticism Nas would’ve gotten? Bruh come on. Lol.

Actually it does to the point where even the biggest Jay fans don't even want to acknowledge that song. "Ain't No" is a bottom tier Jay song. It gets criticism. It's the one song that people want to remove from Reasonable Doubt.

Trust me, you nikkas would have more productive and prolific lives if yall would just STFU and stop caring about this silly shytNas is the most respected rapper to grace a microphone. I can go down an entire list of rappers, actors, actresses, athletes, politicians, academics, etc, etc that say Nas is the best or their favorite. And you idiots got like 10 pages and counting about Peter Rosenbergits disgusting. Lebron's game is still picked apart and critiqued insanely to this day. That's the penalty of greatness. It's a level of greatness noone has seen for this amount of time. Yall have an emotional attachment to Nas, yall actually acknowledge yallselves as "Stans". Everyone is not going to worship Nas as GOD like yall do and champion everything Nas does on the level yall want them to. And yes, some nikkas are going to be haters. But trust me, yall lives would be much better if yall stop caring as much about the haters. And stop "STAN"ing other humans. Nas is not GOD. He's just the greatest rapper that ever lived and that's probably enough for him. You hear him calling himself that more and more. He knows it, relax with this dumb shyt. I have to super scroll to get past all this Rosenberg shyt smmfh

The whole notion of Nas having "wack beats" didn't become widespread until God's Stepson. That's when it was like no matter what he rapped over, people complained because it wasn't just about wanting the Illmatic team any more, it then became "9th Wonder should produce Nas's next album". This went on for nearly two decades. Before 9th released that blend tape, I don't recall there being there being a widespread hate of the production on his albums. It was moreso people against Nas doing commercial joints, R&B features, etc.

The clouds shape a clown face above where u reside.. Love that line man

A lot of people, even Jay Z stans, hate the beat for "Ain't No". I've heard it called '70's porn music.

Ain’t No nikka sounds GLARINGLY off from the rest of RD.

Hahah that's basically what he was saying. He has already given his haters nothing to talk about unless they are purposely reaching for straws.

 

[Ball]

The hate is real, but you should know that the love is way realer
