Can we talk about how underrated Nas's choruses are?? Nas could've easily took the lazy route like Eminem and put female singers on his hooks. But he mastered the choruses himself. The Nas's 3rd prime is hip hop in its purest form. I'm not listening to anything since 2021, he is in my constant rotation. The grand finale was perfect.

I've been saying this for many years. When it comes to rapping hooks (no singing) Nas might be the best ever. Definitely in the top 3 for me. 6 albums in 3 years and there might be two or three songs in those 6 albums where he didn't do the chorus. Ridiculous!

Are people still claiming Nas‘ discography isn‘t GOATed? He had three primes: 1. illmatic, IWW, I am 2. lost tapes, stillmatic, god‘s son 3. KD series, Magic series

That’s wild cause if you look at what you listed as his second prime, it’s immediately after his first prime. The only thing in between is Nastradamus. Which was a rushed album because of I Am getting bootlegged so had I Am came out who knows how long his first run would’ve been. And maybe Jay doesn’t have ammo for the one hot album every 10 year average point had the original I Am came out. I hope Steve Stout finishes the I Am documentary that Nip started.

At 50, Nas has perfected the art of saying less but way more meaningful bars, on way more digestible beats. Magic3 got the soul sampling of KD2&3 and the Mystical sounds of MichaelQuincy and Motion. Every song until PYG, is Nas&Hit flexing their powers. From BOTE pt1, Nas starts a Masterclass he gave on Store Run,Reminisce,The Cure,Count me in, Once a Man… How to rhyme conversations or How to speak while rhyming. Thats the highest form of this beautiful Art, we call Rap. AOTY.

This album as well as the whole run has been 🔥 and impressive. Salute to Nas and HB.

Nas raised the bar in the GOAT conversations. I think that before this run it was young man's game. It was expected maybe 10 years of great albums, a classic or two and then making mediocre/ok music for the rest of your career. Then Nas said, nah, lets elevate this.

From the second it dropped i was waiting for this review. So glad i got to watch Nas go on this run.

Nas gonna keep rapping til he’s 80, greatest MC I’ve ever heard and it’s starting to not be close

He is done with the hitboy run and moving on to other things however if the fans demand it they will....dont see what so hard to understand

I'm back in the hood, they like, "Hey Nas" (uh) Blowin' on purp, reflectin' on they lives (uh) Couple of fat cats, couple of A.I.'s Dreamin' of fly shit instead of them gray skies

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.

2:49 ayooo again lol 😂

This is my favorite out of this run

1. ILLMATIC 2. IWW 3. Stillmatic 4. Lost tapes 5. KD3 6. Magic3 7.God Son 8. KD2 9. Magic 10 Life is Good But the order can change And 11-15 has albums like Kd, Magic 2 ans I am in it is crazy. I don't want to hear Jay-z/Nas comparison anymore.

The craziest thing about this review is that in the first three minutes, nobody said PAUSE. All of you men need to be arrested.😂

The problem with people’s mentality on Nas is that when you’re an emcee who is this good with so much impact on hip hop, everyone has ownership in Nas as a property. They want to own Nas because it inspires so many memories and they don’t want the artist to grow beyond that. It’s seriously selfish AF and thank God Nas has stopped listening to those kinds of fans.

Damn my boi feefo gained weight. Anyway I came back for the Magic 3 review. By far the best of all 6. It's 96' 'Nas reborn not 94', 02', or 22'
