That Vernon Family joint from The Lost Tapes 2 slapped hard AF too. Nas is my 2nd favorite of all time behind Rakim. Nas has been a victim of making probably the best debut album in history. Illmatic was so crazy that it was too hard to match, let alone top.
Hit boy and Nas is a clear example that a rappers career can go crazy when the producer fully understands what the artists wants, and didn’t know that they needed it. All the beats hit boy is tossing is making Nas spazz with energy man.
the whole album deserves a reaction. some of Nas' best work in years. this project will make any of his fans nostalgic. Hit Boy killing it with the production of course. a solid 8-9/10 album for me.
Nasir Jones ain't fucking around, I don't care if the project was rushed or not.. As long as is Nas on it I know is something good....Nas is still standing how many dudes from his Era are out there still dropping albums...? Nas is Life Respect tha OG
That track had the best rapping on the album. My other favorites are Speechless, Wave Gods (ugh, that beat/sample and those Premo cuts), and Meet Joe Black.
I loved this album, hit boy feeding Nas with some excellent production... and KD3 is coming soon too, i love what they doing. You need to react to The truth, the beat is crazy and Nas is going off.
Nas did it again on this album!!! And proves why he's one of the greatest artists to ever do it!!! Consistently evolving!!! Nas and HitBoy really are Magic together!!! And yes that Wave Gods track is crazy!!! Highly anticipating KD3!!! Great reaction guys!!! Love and appreciate all your guys content!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The production is fire, but how he rides the beat keeps you engaged. Nearly every bar is a statement too. Hes dropping straight facts and doing it in a way that only few can. 🔥🔥🔥 song and album.
Nas is like the OG a lot of young cats didn’t know we needed. Decades in the game and his shit is still hip hop and still raw as the new shit. Crazy thing is J.Cole turned my ear back to Nas once I found he was one of his greats.
@@JumbleBeeRescue so you’re the spokesperson for the whole younger generation? Even young cats still growing up on nas he is credited in gta 4 gta 5 and skate 2 just to name of the top of my head.
@@retrogwuap5243 i just feel like you gotta understand that from 2007-2014 i would say a rapper like nas who popped in the 90s early 00s isn’t being talked about in the media or on social media then nas could be forgotten easily to that generation. most likely since rap kinda completely changed around that time period and formed into what it is today
@500 Benz; going through these comments, I’m pleased to see I’m not only one feeling this joint. This proves how much of a classic Magic already is; the joints that are getting over looked are still some of the hottest ish of ‘21.
Shout out to both of you... Only top tier reaction channel that did this new Nas. Much love, Happy New Year, and keep this hip hop spirit alive. 434 VA
Nas been kicking knowledge. After he defeated the ROC Jay decided to stop talking about bling and kick knowledge. Now he getting the credit. Nas is and always will be 👑
finally someone noticed that hitboy imperial marched (star wars) into that boom bap beat... hitboy on fire... he in the studio telling nas to talk his shit... i love it ....
Great review of the intro.....Sweet channel guys! nice take, I really feel Nas is back at it, feeling himself like he should!!! I was confused when he performed with a kid who is using his name. Puzzles me.......Nas should never let anyone use his name.
Blessings Kings Happy New Year's too u both, Man Nas on such a Historical run it's crazy And can't nobody mess with son right now he's been The greatest emcee in my 👁's Since Live at the Barbecue ft Large Professor in 91 Let's Go u gotta react to the whole album, Album is crazy Best bodies of work by Nas in a longtime KD1 and KD2 was Beautiful Nas is rejuvenated and claiming the Throne right now💯🎧🎤🖤
Yo great review guys…..This album was a great project and for me who loves bars The Truth is vintage Nas where he goes back to Lost Tapes It Was Written. The 2nd verse on The Truth is probably Nas best verse in about 10-15 yrs. It’s incredible how he is still a master lyricist after all this time.
This album solidifies Nas as the greatest of all time and it's not even a contest anymore. For sure he's had his slumps but when he releases good albums, they are REALLY good. And tbh his so-called bad albums i.e Nastradamus and Nasir are better than 95% of the shit that's been released in the history of hip hop music.
I just want to say, you guys have introduced me to a lot of artists. I originally came to listen to your takes on Metallica and such, but after hearing you talk about Nas and hearing his music, I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of what he has to offer. On the same note, I've never heard of Hit Boy before, but the sound he's put forward here is just *awesome.* Thanks for putting this video up!
Give a chek to "40-16 Building" , ruff ryder anthem groove , outrageous banger , accent game-palying , "stillmatic" vibes ;with "meet Joe Black" :highest classical hip hop standard .PURE ANTHEM to go within MMA RING or the next work-out
Shout Ryan brother u came along ways in reacting and being able to articulate more of what you think certain bars/lyrics mean to you. I remember your first logic videos I can see improvement
I remember my first time watching you guys was your reaction to master of puppets. At the time I was one of those "hiphop is trash" metalheads. Fast forward to now I've been so hyped to see you guys react to nas' new albums. I swear man people would be surprised what they'd like if they'd just go into something with a open mindset. And oh please do "rare" of kd2 that shit slaps
Happy to be new member of your Chanel- Thank you for this solid reaction! I checked the channel and saw you haven’t done any Freddie Gibbs and I think he is right up you alley. Black illuminate ft. Jadakiss is a great one if you haven’t heard yet.
If you want to see/hear where his talent dropped down from, look up OLU DARA his CORNETIST father he shares that part of his name with. One particular I like is MATERIAL,MEMORY SERVES album, w/ BASS player,writer,producer extraordinaire,BILL LASWELL. You'll thank me. 🙂✌️❤ You'll thank me. Songs: DISAPPEARING, UPRIVER.
This album/EP got me feeling that Stillmatic energy, like Nas is officially back, like back back. Needed this, Nas hitting his second prime now!
I been saying this is the best I've heard Nas since God's Son.
So true
That Vernon Family joint from The Lost Tapes 2 slapped hard AF too. Nas is my 2nd favorite of all time behind Rakim. Nas has been a victim of making probably the best debut album in history. Illmatic was so crazy that it was too hard to match, let alone top.
He’s back in his 2nd Childhood
Life is Good was an instant classic.
Nas is on a historic run! Cemented as the GOAT
Top 5 for sure.
@@ricardoalvarez8415 GOAT
Hit boy and Nas is a clear example that a rappers career can go crazy when the producer fully understands what the artists wants, and didn’t know that they needed it. All the beats hit boy is tossing is making Nas spazz with energy man.
yep very well put...
Very well said.
🎯💯
In my eyes Nas is the goat, the man is different man, and these last 2-3 projects ensured that he never lost a step
Nas literally making this for his fans. He making art.
NAS RAPPING LIKE HIS LIFE IS ON THE LINE 💯
I like that statement...it's perfect!
the whole album deserves a reaction. some of Nas' best work in years. this project will make any of his fans nostalgic. Hit Boy killing it with the production of course. a solid 8-9/10 album for me.
Nas makes an Illmatic every 10 years. I can divide. 🔥
Nasir Jones is original goat, no cap.
FACTS MY BRO…STRAIGHT FACTS!!!
Facts !!!
Lmao..we know who the fake goat 🐐 is..
Facts
3 classic albums in 16 months with another classic months away. Nas is in a class by himself. Nas is the GOAT, Nas been the GOAT, Point Blank.
KD3 indeed!!
Nasir Jones ain't fucking around, I don't care if the project was rushed or not..
As long as is Nas on it I know is something good....Nas is still standing how many dudes from his Era are out there still dropping albums...?
Nas is Life
Respect tha OG
To me, The Truth is vintage Nas. Highly recommended for you guys.
Yep. Best song on the album imo, but they're all amazing.
Yes. The Truth is also my favorite!
That track had the best rapping on the album. My other favorites are Speechless, Wave Gods (ugh, that beat/sample and those Premo cuts), and Meet Joe Black.
Facts
Nas' consistency is maad crazy!!!🔥🔥
Magic so fire... I don't even have a favorite song... Meet Joe Black so dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Speakin tha TRUTH
I would love to see you guys do the album it is not that long. Ugly. Speechless, 40-16 building and the truth
Don’t forget Hollywood gangsta and wave gods
The Truth is 🔥🙌🏽
Nas is in a zone right now. This is a throwaway album and it's fire
No way this is a throw away. These beats are better than KD.
@@damnthisuser 💯 KD2 was/is my top album of 2021 but it does have some throwaway tracks like Brunch on Sundays, My Bible, and YKTV.
this album was for the streets
@@vn5774 i love brunch on sundays.. Wouldn't call those throwaways. Just not the same caliber of the greater songs on KD2.
NAS is like a rare 💎💎💎, my thoughts, I’am rarely or never disappointed in his work
Haven't seen Nas getting love from the big reaction channels or these so called lists. Ya'll always keep it real. 👏
Nas and HitBoy are on demon time!
One of the best HipHop collaborations in a long time! KD 3 on the way though 🔥🔥🔥
I loved this album, hit boy feeding Nas with some excellent production... and KD3 is coming soon too, i love what they doing. You need to react to The truth, the beat is crazy and Nas is going off.
@@tahteef.lesage9871 Is “Magic” my brother. Peace from Brazil ✌🏼
i've always loved nas' rhythmical timing, since i first heard him in the mid 90s!
I love these icons that have been rapping forever. Nas knows alot about a lot. Great reaction - TY
Nas is a story teller. He’s always been ahead of every cat in the game. Rewind will always be the greatest bars ever spoke.
Nas just had to remind everyone hes a GOAT
Peace
He had to remind that kid TI... B....
Nas did it again on this album!!! And proves why he's one of the greatest artists to ever do it!!! Consistently evolving!!! Nas and HitBoy really are Magic together!!! And yes that Wave Gods track is crazy!!! Highly anticipating KD3!!! Great reaction guys!!! Love and appreciate all your guys content!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You needed a wake up call to turn your ear to NAS??! It should have never been turned away since he came in the game fr
@@retrogwuap5243 he may be a young man. At least he got hip to nas.
bro almost nobody from our younger generation grew up on Nas. leave him alone 😂
@@JumbleBeeRescue so you’re the spokesperson for the whole younger generation? Even young cats still growing up on nas he is credited in gta 4 gta 5 and skate 2 just to name of the top of my head.

Speechless, the truth or ugly best tracks
This album is 🔥🔥🔥. Every song is great. If y’all did an album review that would be super dope. It’s only 30 minutes 🤞🏾
The Truth on the new Nas project is crazy too

Lyrically The Truth might be the best song on the album
Absolutely, that's my favorite joint. It definitely sounds like an it was written record.
💯
Big facts. He rapped the best on that song
This is my favorite song off this album. I'm super happy that you guy's are reacting to it. Thanks! 🤙🏿😁
Dope I ain't gonna lie mines might be that Wu for the Children sheeeeeeeesh🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@afrodysiac105 Son! Yo' that song is crazy man. Nas is just on a different frequency. Top 5 dead or alive.
@@jonthestarving He top 1 for me for sure, dropping absolute fire at 48 with that much influence and discog to his name just settles it for me.
Peace Kings... thank you so much for this one 🇿🇦
*Best ones off the album :*
*"Meet Joe Black "*
*"Wave Gods"*
*"Ugly"*
*"Speechless"*
*"The Truth"*
*"40-16 Building"*
*"Dedicated"*
You forgot Hollywood Gangsta and Wu For The Children, every song is fantastic.
@@shade4835 Speakin tha TRUTH
@@shade4835 🎯
I liked every track to a degree aside from "Ugly." That one never did it for me
That’s like the whole album bruh 🤣
3:30 When Nas is in this pocket I love it
This album is a classic. Just amazing music. Nas the goat
9:27 nas also has a song called "My Way" where he says that
Nas been kicking knowledge. After he defeated the ROC Jay decided to stop talking about bling and kick knowledge. Now he getting the credit. Nas is and always will be 👑
This ablum of Nas magic is really like a mix tape, before KD3... JUST LIKE REAL MC do it...
Nas is at the top of the Egyptian Pyramid
Imagine releasing this level of music this late in your career? 3 masterpieces in a row.
This shit made my day...I didn't even know Nas had dropped something new and it's dope af.
finally someone noticed that hitboy imperial marched (star wars) into that boom bap beat... hitboy on fire... he in the studio telling nas to talk his shit... i love it ....
Superb breakdown, y’all gotta do more from the Magic album
Great review of the intro.....Sweet channel guys! nice take, I really feel Nas is back at it, feeling himself like he should!!! I was confused when he performed with a kid who is using his name. Puzzles me.......Nas should never let anyone use his name.
the truth is the best song on the album......and speachless!!!
That energy came in them Niggaz like it was the 90s...
Sorry cole,kendrick, drake ,hov since 96 Nas is the goat

Yo great review guys…..This album was a great project and for me who loves bars The Truth is vintage Nas where he goes back to Lost Tapes It Was Written. The 2nd verse on The Truth is probably Nas best verse in about 10-15 yrs. It’s incredible how he is still a master lyricist after all this time.
At least now y'all are back to reacting to the REAL GOAT. QUALITY
Nas is a Beast
Nasir Jones is the greatest spitter to touch the microphone!
Nas always!! Yes yes yes !
You have to the whole album , 🔥🔥🔥
Nas releasing 3 albums in 3 years… wild. KD3 on the way
"Ugly" and "The Truth" best records on this album for me, enter album is hard.
Definitely need that Wave Gods reaction!🙏🔥
Incredible review guys salute, the whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You need to do this whole project please!!!!!!
Speechless is the best lyrical display on the album

And tbh his so-called bad albums i.e Nastradamus and Nasir are better than 95% of the shit that's been released in the history of hip hop music.
Any big time rapper that have over 6 albums have some slumps. It's subjective and yes imo Nas is the goat
BOUT TIME! Y’all took ya sweet time with this one.
Song so fire sheeeshhhh
40-16 Building is the best track on MAGIC...
Do the whole EP guys !! The Truth,40-16 building are crazy!
