Official Nas Thread

[Alexander Wiggin]

Kings Disease 1 was great but KD2 REALLY upped the ante and put the world on notice that Nas wasn’t just “back”, he was playing for KEEPS.

Collaborating with Eminem and showing everybody how to renegade the renegader (WITH EPMD in tow)

Rocking with YG and A Boogie and proving that his flow was steeped in the fountain of youth

Getting Lauren muthafukking Hill to actually RAP on a track, and not just rhyme, but spit like she’d been transported back to 1998. Truly a glorious moment

Talking that fly shyt on Store Run

Talking that boss shyt on Rare

Talking that uplifting shyt on My Bible

KD2 is a 5/5. A flawless album

Nas was a trying to find his pocket on the first one and on that one he stepped his game up. That album elevated hit boy as a serious producer and the chemistry between those two became evident.
To make an album that was God son /LIG type of level, I was like '' Oh! They're not playing ''

Conway said it’s verse of the year in the comments. Still so much better than the unreleased verse imo, and that’s fire too

Greatest rap album ever. My opinion ain’t change in 30 years, . All the flowers and praise and accolades it gets never swayed me to wanna be rebellious and act like it’s not that amazing or there are other albums even better. None of that,

I'm sure no one in this thread cares, but Gunna name checked Nas and Illmatic on his new album.

It's on the track "endless"
