I'm with 21 Savage beyond core fans no one is checking for Nas so its true THE LINE STILL STANDS same with some ETHER lines about Jay. I'm an MF DOOM fan mind you and i wouldn't be angry with these new rappers saying that. Its only you people that are so touchy that nobody cares beyond you stans & that incl when they die as with MF DOOM god bless his soul and for us for not bitchin and moaning about the media & artist not seeing his brilliance. Only Ye with his old ass is reaching the youth lets stop the cap.
This is the album that could compete with Nas’s best works in his prime. I dont understand how a 50 year old man who has been in the game for 3 decades can put out an almost perfect album at this stage of age
@@Football101s Even though I like Blacks album a little better, he has always been a well oiled machine of rap. Nas had a fall off imo and the King’s Disease series is his comeback
Its equally mindblowning that he wrote most of Illmatic at 16 years old as it is that he's releasing some of the best rap music of the generation at 49
Nas's rapping ability is so god-damn supreme that it sounds effortless, yet the way he raps, his flows and pockets, are elite-level. Total master of the craft. One of a handful.
This project sounds like it's just the beginning, just like this new rookie Nas is dropping his first mixtape. Man raps even hungrier than he did back in the days. Same intelligence and anger, but more mature, more experiences, more flows thanks/with this Hit-Boy genius samples, beats, it's an absolute masterpiece, the best of the three installments. And one of Nas best album. 30 years straight. God tier. Sorry for my english, I'm french. One love.
The Tom Brady of this rap shit. 49 years old and still making top tier albums, and this is easily the best of the trilogy. "WTF SMH" has such an epic beat switch and Hit-Boy really does bring out some of Nas's best rapping with his production.
@@judahscattered4corners694 he’s referring to Brady’s longevity. Brady has been great for 20+ years and Nas has been greater for 30+ years. MJ didn’t have the same longevity, that’s why he didn’t compare him to nas
Nas released 6 albums in the last 5 years, all great despite the fact he’s 49, he’s the biggest legend of rap music without a doubt in my eyes, 30 years and all spent at the very top
This album, Nas has rapped more new words in his vocabulary throughout his discography than any other album, man displaying greatness in growth not just as an artists but as a person.
What a freaking project. No features, great samples, compelling storytelling with fantastic flows and rhyme schemes, you name it . This man is 49 with a 30+ year career and he's still has so much to give.
This whole project is incredible. It's hard choosing between kd2, magic and kd3. And it's crazy cause I liked kd1, but the growth to this album is undeniable. Legit, Thun, Michael and Quincy and Beef are my 4 favorite tracks off this one. Get light sounds like that Amy Winehouse feature from life is good.
I can't think of another rapper at nearly 50 that is this good still. Nas's flow and bars age like fine wine. I think it's time to have the conversation about declaring Nas the GOAT. Sorry Rakim
@@Kickinthescience The Last Roots album was released in 2014 and Black Thought has released one solo album (mostly EPs, none of which are better than any of The Kings Disease Trilogy) so where you got this take from I don't know. It's not even logical. I like Black Thought as much as anyone (who isn't one of his stans), but yours my friend is a bad take
@@scottlavine7363 Prince sounds reasonable, I wasn't listening to those 00s albums though. No KRS record made since 2015 has been as good as this u tweakin all the way. Its been at least 20 years for him.
Some rappers age like fine wine, another example of which is Black Thought. Just as Nas and Hit-Boy are a match made in heaven, so is Black Thought and Danger Mouse. Also, the beat on Recession Proof would fit so incredibly well on Cheat Codes, or with a Black Thought feature.
i genuinely love seeing you upload, i struggle with loneliness and you really cure my loneliness, to be able to sit back relax and enjoy an album with you makes me happy, one of the best parts of my day, thank you for doing what you Jon.
Thun ....That baseline is crying for his Mami while Nas is squealing his tires on this beat . The g.o.a.t. the track I'M ON FIRE is an instant classic. The nostalgic and bars on that song is amazing. Crazy album ! All tracks are heats bro
They use to say “Thun” because somebody that use to live in QB projects that so happened to know mobb deep use to say “ what up son” but had a speech impediment.
"Thun" came from a childhood friend of Nas that had a speech impediment so it sounded like he said "Thun" when he said "Son" (Sun) which is actually Nas nickname in Queens.
Esco been feeding us a never ending buffet of very high-quality meals that have only gotten better with each entree. Us Nas fans have been spoiled rotten since the pandemic.
This album is so fucking good a classic. Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic untouchable aint no debate. 🐐 This is album of the year by far. The GOAT.
The reason why they say Thun in QB because one of they're homies used to have a speech impediment and he couldn't pronounce son without the th and all the other people in the hood started saying son like that too
Thun or Beef might be song of the year for me, the first listen was amazing, I got Father Time by Kendrick, Ms Mural by Lupe, Dark Hearted by Freddie Gibbs, Overdrive by Drake, Se Fue La Luz by 070 Shake, Hear Me Clearly by Pusha T, 7:12PM by Future, and Less Than Zero by The Weeknd are up there too
@@juanrocha251 best album of the year possibly, she needs to leave GOOD Music though cause Kanye ain’t doing shit to promote her bar getting Mike Dean to produce a few songs for her
Westside Gunn - Science Class ft. Raekwon, Ghostface and Stove God Cooks, Billy Woods - Wharves, Black Star - Freequency, JID - Lauder Too are up there too imo. I have lots of others but i think youre right. Thun beats them. I love "My First Time" too
Nas is the goat idc what anyone says. I've always thought this for years. He's followed by Big & Pac for that top spot. But c'mon this man is just ridiculous, Jay might have the hits and the mainstream appeal but if you look directly from a rap lense, Nas runs circles around him. I like Jay btw so I'm not tryna diss him but c'mon now. KD1 to KD2 to Magic to KD3????? Ridiculous, and he has the best rap album of all time which was his debut at 20 years old.
I'm happy you pointed out that Eminem flow. I thought the same thing. "I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zags and this bag Of this weed, it gives me the shit needed to be The most meanest MC on this on this Earth And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension Dispensing these sentences, getting this stress That's been eating me recently off of this chest" The way I am flow by Eminem

Actually he is 49
Black Thought did the same thing this year too and imo Cheat Codes was even better than KD3 and my personal aoty, but they're both incredible

Can't believe they topped KD1 KD2 and Magic with KD3. This album does not have any weak tracks.
I would say Magic imo is the best out of the 4 albums but KD3 is the best out of the kd's trilogy
@@iangarcia1585 magic wasnt as versitile. Magic was just bars. It was more of a mixtape. Nas isnt goat for just being a spitter. Its the songs.

Goat comment
Nas my favourite artist as a teenager. Then again in my late 20s. And now that I’m 40. His resurgence has been so enjoyable.
This album got me feeling like it's 1994
This project sounds like it's just the beginning, just like this new rookie Nas is dropping his first mixtape.
Man raps even hungrier than he did back in the days. Same intelligence and anger, but more mature, more experiences, more flows thanks/with this Hit-Boy genius samples, beats, it's an absolute masterpiece, the best of the three installments. And one of Nas best album. 30 years straight. God tier.
Sorry for my english, I'm french. One love.
Best album of the 2020’s so far
He has mixtapes. With green lantern.
Your english is fine. You said goat correctly. Lol

Thank you for this. Real Nas fans appreciate the love

Nas the GOAT! Let us hope the Primo album happens!
If it does, I'm gonna lose my shit lol
Well guess what …
What a freaking project. No features, great samples, compelling storytelling with fantastic flows and rhyme schemes, you name it . This man is 49 with a 30+ year career and he's still has so much to give.
Yes sir!! Can't wait to see him live Feb 24 in MSG
What a body of work 🐐 Nas cleaned out my ears from all that Drake nonsense
Fact
This album is astonishing, first time listening to it had me sitting there in amazement
Insane Trilogy. Nas killed it. Has nothing to prove, will be top 3 always and in my personal opinion the goat 🐐

No rapper 30 years into their career has EVER made something of this quality. I'm struggling to think of artists in any genre of music who have.
Prince and KRS.

Pain is temporary
Happiness is earned!
This is Nas at his peak which puts him above everyone. No one in hip hop has had a 30 year run like this man. Rapping like he is 25 again.
Reminisce is my favorite track... Will forever love that sample
Yooooo. I told y’all so. Be careful who you play with. This album is a career killer!!!!
That beat drop on 'Legit' though.

They use to say “Thun” because somebody that use to live in QB projects that so happened to know mobb deep use to say “ what up son” but had a speech impediment.
Album of the year!!! Thank you Jon
Beef is incredible my mind was blown
Nas makes me feel like I’m riding through queensbridge in the early 90s and I wasn’t even born till 96
Instant CLASSIC!!!!! The FUCKIN GREATEST!!!! Ever!!!!
Appreciate the GREATNESS...🐐

Hope you Get better bro
It gets better the more you listen to it
didn't think it was possible to better KD2 and Magic but he did it
17 tracks and not one bad track.. this is fucking great album. Definitely one of the best this year.
Thank you for disecting this to people who don't know how it feels to understand what Nas is🐐🐐🐐
