Sitting With My Thoughts! NaS is at his best when NaS sits on a rocking chair with a cigar and glass of Hennessey looking back in time and telling you the story. 😂😅 That's the vibe I get from this song. Love it.
Hey guys, I think it would be a surreal reaction if you introduced your dad with King Vons music, show him a guy who was born in a gang through generations. And King Von actually is considered a cereal killer I think your dad has never seen the Chicago drill scene That could turn out as a legendary reaction :D
Over the last few years Nas has really manifested his status as one of the goats. Hes been so consistent and fresher than ever, despite being 50 years old already.
@@harwn999He was one of the goats already when he dropped Illmatic. He was already a legend in New York before that as a young teenager, had all the veteran emcee's buggin'
@shalee Nas always been one of the most prolific MC's to pick up a microphone even if he didn't Made the kings disease trilogy/Magic 3 what rock you've been living under?
That’s ridiculous. Nas has been in the GOAT debate since 2001 and even prior to that. There’s a gap at the top now. Nas is the undisputed GOAT and there’s a gap between him and whoever you got at number 2.
You shouldve mentioned Nas and Hitboy won a Grammy for the first King's Disease. IMO the duo's best albums are KD3 and Magic, but this is already in contention for my top 3 favorite projects from them
Nas has the lyricism of Rakim, the wordplay of Kool G Rap, the awareness of Chuck D, the knowledge of KRSONE, the metaphors of Big Daddy Kane, the storytelling of Slick Rick and the longevity of LL Cool J. He's half man, half amazing!
so glad to see this pop up this morning! thank you guys. I haven't even listened to it yet either, but based off the last 5, am super keen to listen with you two.
"Cold part, Illmatic all the way through that episode of Ozark I think that's harder than if I had co-starred" He already said it, so I don't have to. Of course, the episode was called "The Cousin of Death," like in the Nas lyric. Meant to parallel Ruth seeking to avenge her cousin. It's honestly amazing seeing Illmatic take over an episode like that.
I love that NAS is still making music, he truly is a poet that best represents the era he grew up in, so amazing to still be hearing him, if only we had Biggie and 2pac live as long as he did. NAS is defiantly one of the best rappers ever 👍☮️
I think in Nas early albums and most of his career he rapped for us on this later run in his career I feel like he rapping for his self and really enjoying making music
Love seeing the new Nas reaction! I really hope you guys get to do the whole album eventually and go on to some of his other albums he made with Hitboy. I personally loved this album but the first magic takes the cake out of the 3 it's much shorter which would be easier to cover fully can't wait for more reactions!
The Kings Disease & Magic trilogies are masterpieces. I think you will both be amazed at all the music he put out in the last three years. I also think the features are phenomenal. 🐐🎤 BTW if you ever dig into the Nas and Jay-Z “beef” you will need to cover Takeover by Jay and Ether by Nas. Your minds will be blown by the outcome💣
The thing with Wayne’s verse is that even though he rhymes the last two syllables through the whole verse, he still switches up the internal rhyme to create variety (peeking/reaching/seen ya on/need to walk, coach/flow, etc.). Plus he has his typical wordplay where he takes a word and flips it multiple ways (“to spend all this money I’d need to spend a lifetime,” he uses line as a homonym for lyin, etc.)
@_imnotblack_ Wayne learned from Juelz Santana. Wayne didn't become great until he started hanging & making music with Juelz. It added something diff to Wayne's wordplay. Iron sharpen iron.
I am a 43 years old from Angola, Africa. I am also a Hip Hop culture enthusiastic! I found your journey of Rap music discovery with your Dad, a really good and helpful 101 hip hop course. Not only for people outside of the hip hop culture, but also for the new generation of rap listeners that mostly only listens to new rappers . Your choice of old songs and old albums is great! Your dad attitude towards this discovery is priceless to watch and he really adds up value with the musical side of it analysis. Thank you guys! Side note, I also enjoy a lot of rock music, I would love to watch your dad reacting to The Unforgiven by Nirvana!
The Firm was Nas, AZ, Cormega and Foxxy Brown... and I'll be ECSTATIC when you guys finally react to AZ and Cormega (although AZ was on 'Life's a B****). 'Rather Unique' by AZ, 'Beautiful Mind' or 'Fallen Soldiers' by Cormega, or 'Redemption' (both) would be great places to start. Two of the best/most underrated lyricists of all time, IMO.
@@nuggetz9380 solid song, but there are quite a few on my list ahead of that one if I'm being honest. 'Your World Don't Stop' comes to mind as a similar, "harder" track that's more potent lyrically and sonically. 'Doe Or Die' as an album in general is one of the most unspoken classics of all time. Basically zero skips for me.
In my opinion God's Son is his best album and this comes from a person that lived and breathed hip hop all my life...matter fact hip hop became my dad, cuz my dad wasn't around when I grew up. Great reactions keep it up!
The story of Based On True Events is that Nas is talking to a girl and Nas notices that one of the girl she hangs with is talking to a guy that he suspects had something to do with Half-A-Mill’s death that was ruled a suicide. Nas is questioning his girl and is asking if she knows him.
In the song “I love this feeling” that line about the old men playing chess, one in prison one in the park; He’s comparing the old men playing Chess to pass their idle time. A elderly man’s life can be lonely and very routine almost predictable like a daily chess game. The old man could long for visits from his children or grandchildren who have moved on. Same can be said for an old man in prison “staying on good behavior for extra visits” playing chess to pass idle time. Hoping for sanctioned visits from family. They both have the same reality but from different perspectives.. This is why Nas is the 🐐. You must really listen several times to decipher his lyrics. He’s very deep like an author who writes novels.
The flow and cadence used in "Based on true events P2" [BOTE] is a throwback to the style Nas employed during the "Death of Escobar" era. If you go back and listen to "Hardest thing to do is stay alive" and/or "You don't know me" you will hear almost identical cadence with BOTE P2. The reason it was hard for you to follow is because you are most likely less familiar with the colloquialisms and fragmented & pieced speech patterns he used frequently as a younger rapper. The song, part 1 & 2 play as moments of nostalgia as much as compelling storytelling.
I dont think its really fair to the artist to not listen to the entire project. Would love to see you and your dad listen to the entirety of Magic 1 and King’s Disease III
KD II was even better imo, KD III kinda sounded the same throughout a lot of the songs beat-wise. No hating btw all of KD are at least 7/10 albums (imo KD is a high 8/10 and average 9/10 and KD II is a solid 10/10)
The 5% Islam had a big influence in the early days of NYC Hip-Hop. It's a 5percenter thing to do, to call each other Sun to elevate each other, but the streets kind of adopted it as 'Son' and funny story, in Queensbridge, they adopted it as 'Thun', because a friend of Prodigy and NaS couldn't pronounce the 'S' due to speech impediment and would pronounce it as 'Thun', so they all started saying that way.
Love this. Also remember Nas at 18 had the foresight to look further. His first 4 albums titles in order is "since ILLMATIC IT WAS WRITTEN I AM NASTRODAMAS". Dude is just an ill individual.
Good show. Nas references It was Written on Magic³. The Bote pt 2 is example of that. Also, to your dads point about the “work” that was put into the writing, well that’s also highlighted on iww and is part of why a lot of people put iww over illmatic. A lot of folks would say 96 nas specifically, which is iww year, is the greatest rapper/lyricist of all time. And you hear it on songs like I gave you power, shootouts, setup, take it blood, message, etc. He told story on illmatic, but it wasn’t to the level of iww. This song specifically reminds me of the setup on Iww. Spoiler alert: The jazzy nature of illmatic is definitely present on M³. ✌️
Listen to Undying Love, We will Survive, You’re da man, Stillmatic, Project Windows, The life we chose, One Mic, Nothing Last Forever, and My Way… Some of my fav Nas tracks

No curses, my guy. Nas better not leave us with that much salvo still left in the tank. I think he said somewhere on Magic 2 that he looks forward to still doing this at 80. Amen.
@@BlakeSuperior_Beats The “farewell” sentiment is very strong throughout the album. From individual bars, to certain choruses (like “We ain’t gonn never die!”) to songs like “No Tears” and “1-800-Nas&Hit.” The entire vibe of the album felt like a very solemn farewell. I don’t want this to be his last, but it felt like a goodbye.
@@BlakeSuperior_Beats Right, but the messages in the album don’t sound like a farewell to working with HitBoy, but rather a farewell to making music. He’ll continue to journal/write rhymes, but keep in mind that HitBoy inspired this creative run. Remove HitBoy from the equation and you’re back with the uninspired Nas. No disrespect to Nas, but, it is what it is.
Fantastic album! Instant Classic! Illmatic - Classic aka New Testament of Hip-Hop! KD3 - Classic Magic 3 - Clasic Magic - Classic IWW - Classic Stillmatic - Classic LT1 - Classic LIG - Classic (1st Grownman Hip-Hop Album, which J tried to emulate with 4:44) KD2 - Classic Magic 2 - Classic GS - Classic DR - Classic (Unlike any other Hip-Hop album with Africa Vibes) KD1 - Fantastic Album Untitled - Is a very good album, has aged well & will stand the test of time due to its content. HHID - Good album, has aged well I Am - Good album, has aged well, original version would have been Classic if not for sabotage by Record Label & Leaking it. LT2 - Good, some very good highs, but more lows SD - Good, it would have been very good if just 1 album instead of 2LP has aged well. Nasir - Feels rushed, with 1-2 Excellent tracks. Nastradamus - OK, the highs are special, which would have been on I Am, but too many lows for me, but has aged well.
Agree with most of this but Magic 2 is a good album not classic imo - even then it's too early to decide whether an album is a classic. Will need to see how the album ages over time. Seeing this list just shows how good Nas' discography is. The greatest to ever do it!
@@loyallfc7239I think people will come around to Magic 2 over time. I get why everyone Magic is exalted but Magic 2 was my favourite of the series before Magic 3. To me all three are untouchable.
"Your monthly subscription to the slums edition, the new it was written" - as great as an album Illmatic is, when it first came out it didn't really sell a lot records.. so when he did his second album, It Was Written he added a little more contemporary sound but the subject matter was still as "rugged" as Illmatic but more people could listen to it. Which also adds to the Chief Kief and Mozart line. He also said one of the song off of Magic 2 that he's "Underground and overground and it's never been seen" Coming from RSA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

The song with Wayne and Based off a True Story (You have to listen together)

The 1st track 'Fever' samples Leonardo DiCaprio from 'The Wolf of Wall Street' at the end of the track.

NAS is the goat. There is nobody who can match his intellect, story telling or punchlines.

At this point no debating 🐐
Idk why people weren't feeling Lost tapes 2, that shit was great
I agree
I never heard anyone say they didn't like it.... he has 2 more lost tapes he hasn't released yet
It was lovely
From 1994 to 2023 Nas keeps proving he's the Greatest rapper living! 🔥
dead or alive tbh
"Cold part, Illmatic all the way through that episode of Ozark

He still has 2 lost tapes albums he hasn't released yet
Big respect to you and your dad man. I have MAGIC 3 on repeat 🔂 🎉🔥

@@BlakeSuperior_Beats Right, but the messages in the album don’t sound like a farewell to working with HitBoy, but rather a farewell to making music. He’ll continue to journal/write rhymes, but keep in mind that HitBoy inspired this creative run. Remove HitBoy from the equation and you’re back with the uninspired Nas. No disrespect to Nas, but, it is what it is.
I'm a Nas fan and your show. Good work, keep it going💪🙏✊️
Thank you! Will do!
I listen to all 6 on shuffle. Top tier stuff.

Magic 3 - Clasic
Magic - Classic

KD1 - Fantastic Album
Untitled - Is a very good album, has aged well & will stand the test of time due to its content.
HHID - Good album, has aged well
I Am - Good album, has aged well, original version would have been Classic if not for sabotage by Record Label & Leaking it.
LT2 - Good, some very good highs, but more lows
SD - Good, it would have been very good if just 1 album instead of 2LP has aged well.
Nasir - Feels rushed, with 1-2 Excellent tracks.
Nastradamus - OK, the highs are special, which would have been on I Am, but too many lows for me, but has aged well.
Agree with most of this but Magic 2 is a good album not classic imo - even then it's too early to decide whether an album is a classic. Will need to see how the album ages over time. Seeing this list just shows how good Nas' discography is. The greatest to ever do it!
Almost identical to how I rank them
@@loyallfc7239I think people will come around to Magic 2 over time. I get why everyone Magic is exalted but Magic 2 was my favourite of the series before Magic 3. To me all three are untouchable.
Been waiting for you gentlemen to get here lol
"Your monthly subscription to the slums edition, the new it was written" - as great as an album Illmatic is, when it first came out it didn't really sell a lot records.. so when he did his second album, It Was Written he added a little more contemporary sound but the subject matter was still as "rugged" as Illmatic but more people could listen to it. Which also adds to the Chief Kief and Mozart line.
He also said one of the song off of Magic 2 that he's "Underground and overground and it's never been seen"
Coming from RSA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
That line is from Ghetto Reporter off of Kings Disease 3
You should try all of the “ill mind of hopsin” I highly recommend 👍🏾
You should show your dad KD2 it's the best of the trilogy
Gotta listen to KD3 it’s the best album since My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
I recommend you checking out CyHi Da Prince "No Dope On Sundays"🙏🙏
Life is good, is a great album a classic
RIP Half-a-Million!
Lost tapes were not throw aways just tracks that leaked from the original I Am double album.. react to KD3 next then the rest👍🏼
