I've actually lowered the Magic 2 score because besides 1 or 2 songs I hardly play it...

It’s somewhere in the top 3. I believe the universal top 3 after everything settles down will be KD3, Magic, & Magic 3

KD2 gets an honorable mention for being such a well constructed cinematic album. I definitely understand if that’s people’s #1 choice, that album felt big, from the production to the features. To be honest I woulda expected that album to pull in the Grammy instead of KD1

But KD3, Magic, Magic 3 were for the core fan base

Was bored so decided to rate each track on each album to find an average rating for each album

Generally matched up to my rankings but KD2 pretty close to Magic 3. KD2 for me has more 5/5 tracks but Magic 3 little more consistent. Caveat to the below is I don’t think this the right way to rate an album as one bad track can fukk up an average but thought interesting to see how it turned out this way.

Magic - 4.7
KD3- 4.4
Magic 3- 4.3
KD2- 4.3
KD- 4
Magic 3- 3.7

And really these ranking s come down to personal preference as each of these six albums are fukking superb.

KD2 for all this time has been my favorite, but Nas REALLY went into his storytelling bag for Magic 3 while also throwing in some of what I loved about pretty much all of the previous albums.

I’ll be listening to every single one of these albums for years to come.
