The GOAT Nas drops his new album Kings Disease tonight (hip hop heads GTFIH)

Everyone knows Nas gave the world the greatest hip hop album of all time. Illmatic. I still keep that entire project in rotation to this day.

But at midnight the legend drops a brand new full length studio album.





I know some of his recent work hasn’t been up to par, the tracklist has me cautiously optimistic, but he’s still got it. Life Is Good was one of my favorite albums of the 10s. Hoping this is another classic to add to the collection.

Enjoy.

Innn this year has been surprisingly good for hip hop. Looking forward to this one.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

It's going to be some edgy woke chit... i can tell.

From a kunt who was long past it over ten years ago.

"mass appeal" says it all.

Just finished my first spin. Definitely a top tier Nas project, just one notch below Life Is Good. Some of the best production he’s used since the 90s. Minimal “woke” and edgy chit lol. Just an enjoyable project from a legendary rapper. That Firm track was insane too.

I give it a solid 7.5/10

brb about to give it a listen. I've been replaying the chit out of Pray for Paris and thought it would be the dopest hip hop project we'd get this year.

Honestly not too far from the truth lol but this has always been Nas' schtick and he's never really changed. A lot of his content is about uplifting oneself as well and searching for your own success, some street narratives, etc. But I suppose if you never really liked that about him you probably wouldn't like this album from a lyrical standpoint.

As the above poster already stated, the album is probably full of SJW woke bullschit praising black lives matter and telling us to vote for joe biden (or more subtly, saying orange man bad)
Agreed with the first part, not sure if I am just getting older or rap is just becoming increasingly more chit, but it just aint like it used to be mane. Probably all of these. But nah, it's not really about SJW woke chit and praising BLM. Some of the content comes from the viewpoint that yeah blacks were did wrong but that they can make it and make something of themselves rather than victimhood. Throws a line or two at the president but who cares that's always been a part of hip-hop so if you don't like it whatever.

I usually give a record maybe 4 or 5 spins before I come out with a solid opinion, sometimes things sound different the second time around and you pick up on things that you didn't notice on the first listen. Have listened to it once. But I was actually pretty surprised this was pretty good. The production was a lot better, hooks were decent. I actually appreciate that the tracks were very short in nature. Appreciate the old school Firm reunion here as well but why Foxy Brown sounding like a man lmao. Features overall were pretty good. Mostly standard Nas flow, delivery and lyrics so nothing has changed here. Some of the tracks had some nice vibes and chill to listen to.

This was pretty good, think I give it a 7 or 7.5 out of 10, for now, might change but I don't think it is above an 8 for me.

Well said on all points. Yeah this isn’t a “woke” album at all really. No mention of BLM either. Honestly many from Nas’s generation don’t really phuck with BLM like that and are suspicious of them. Lord Jamar always talks about how they’re not a movement for his people and shares chit about the DNC controlling the narrative on social media all the time.

Nas has always preached black empowerment. Educating ones self, getting out of the hood, etc. He’s as much of a conscious rapper as he is an old school boom bap lyricist. Grouping him in with modern rappers is disrespectful and plain wrong IMO. His message has never been playing the victim or glorifying violence. Never.

I can tell miscers have been watching too many Ben Shapiro videos. I’m more on the right side of the aisle (see post history) but not every black person is what you see protesting on CNN lmao. You guys sound like Joe Biden ffs.

Dude's like 50, with a laughably low net worth for being at the forefront of rap for 25 years.

Not listening to him spew any of his broke boi fake woke/intellectual bull****.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.

Funny Nas spent majority of his career being a fake intellectual yet when he was on a panel of people with triple digit IQ's on Maher he sat at the table quiet the whole time like a little kid who was invited to the adult table.

But where was all the "lyrical spiritual miracle" at Nas? 😂😂😂

Contrast that to real boss in Jay-Z who never had to lean on fake intellectualism to sell records.

He was one of the most thoughtful, well spoken guests ever on Maher.

😂😂😂😂

LMFAO if you believe that.

Nas is worth 70 million?

😅😅😂😂🤣🤣😭😭

Now I see why you're a Nas fan, you believe anything.

Probably buy into his fake wokeness hook line and sinker.

Give a guy the spotlight and he could talk OP into taking it up the ass.

Where was Nas' intelligence on Maher?

I literally felt sorry for the guy.

Go watch the segment and tell me I'm lying 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭

I gave the album some more spins, honestly my ratings of it hasn't really changed from what I said initially, somewhere around a 7 to 7.5. Some solid tracks but nothing mind blowing. I'm a younger dude so I never really got to experience or see the buzz he got when he first dropped Illmatic. But I do remember the height of the beef he had with Jay-Z and when he dropped Stillmatic. Everybody thought Nas was done and that Jay ended his career but then he dropped Ether.

I find myself bumping a lot of his old classics, not sure if nostalgia but I don't think his newer stuff can hold a candle to it. Like Represent, One Mic, I Gave You Power, The Message, Get Down, The Cross etc. Last album of his I could truly call a classic is God's Son, although Hip Hop is Dead was really good and borderline. Everything else after that ranges from meh to good.
