Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Honestly, this is about as good as it gets. I apologise for the lateness - August has been a busy time. But Nas - King's Disease 2 is timeless so it ultimately doesn't matter. An essential record, highlighting one of the finest rappers to ever hold a mic at the peak of his powers, in combination with the peerless Hit-Boy.

Nas is the street poet we all deserved. I'm so glad he found a kindred spirit in Hit Boy to help keep his sound relevant so Nas' message keeps coming across
I mean if that was his intention he kinda failed because this album made no noise.
@@Melkac nah it made plenty of noise and is basically album of the year so
This album was the only reason why I was kinda okay with DONDA not dropping cuz Nas needed this moment to showcase that he can still do his thing. This is what rap music needs.
Would be great if you would give me any honest Review on my new Drake CLB Reaction 👍
This album is 10x better than donda though lol
@@makaveli7145 It’s really not, it’s masterpiece hip hop but Donda is way more boundary pushing and has a greater vision, honestly you can’t really compare them they are two completely different projects
Nas album is better than Kanye west’s album tbh
@@spiderjeff5845 I only liked one song from Kanye’s album that’s the song with him and the Lox
I like how he structured this album. The first half until YKTV is him showcasing he can jump on new sounds and do new things at the highest level. From Store run until the end we have the vintage Nas. After hearing Donda and CLB I say this is the album of the year
100% There was like 6 songs I listen on repeat with Nas. Kanye and Drake, barely 2 songs on each album I enjoy. The rest is just a cash grab.
I doubt this is gonna be aoty, just cuz of the sheer amout of people who want Donda or clb or the off season to be album of the year
@@shay3514 playboi carti, Travis Scott, sofaygo, lil uzi vert highly likely at least one of those will aoty
@@wickxd9929 MAYHE Travis Scott, but not others on your list, the other artists are too small, the amount of streams Donda and clb are getting is definitely going to make them candidates for sure
@@shay3514 I understand sofaygo but lil uzi vert and playboi carti they legit are one of the biggest hip hop artist out rn
Nas is THE best to ever do it. My opinion , and this album is a classic. THE 🐐
My photo the Jordan logo for this rap shit.
100% agree
Nas is so engaging to listen to because he speaks with an authority that nobody else can outside of Jay-Z and probably a couple of others I’m forgetting
Edit: Jon mentioned something very similar after moments
I’d put black thought there at that level as well
@@zacmcloughlin3470 Definitely
jay don't have an indepth subject matter. He just started talking about different subjects beside finances.
@Kingsley Ayeni foh,jay is heat asf
@@wavyharbdul5078 Music is subjective, my guy
Nas' voice will always be a staple New York icon
Album of the year thus far for me. In a streaming world we live in, a lot of albums don’t keep replay value for me. I continually go back to this album from cover to cover. 10/10
When I first heard this Nas track I almost cried because this is the mindset I want to be at in life it's just so good. I'm 19 and just listening to a OG talk truth to me is beautiful.
Nas Is Good- Said the greatest rapper alive.

Nas never dies... His lyricism and production are so timeless and this is the album of the year imo
I am kinda surprised to see another indian here
Aoty for sure
Agreed, KD2, Off Season, Donda and CMIFYGL so far. All have been amazing rap albums.
Much better albums came out this year imo
@@dadorage1695 bro chill. KD2 is leading the pack
@@adamandeveaae8406 Leading the pack of album that are way overrated? Yes
I hope this gets Nas another Grammy/more awards, it's his best selling/most critically acclaimed album in a long time and it deserves the praise it's getting.
album of the year again, feels like Nas is in his prime again.
This probably won't be in my top 10, feels like this is way overblown because it's Nas
Feels like you should chill and get a better ear for music. Listen to what he’s saying and not worry about beats all the time, the production is top notch as well though
@@Iranmyers i'm a fan of lyricism, why do you imply I care about beat when I think the lyricism wasn't the best we gotten this year?
@@dadorage1695 I mean it’s your opinion but idk what you’re going to hear this year that will be better than this….
@@truboss9470 I already did. This album doesn't have much on A Martyr's Reward lyrically, or even Time by Your Old Droog (outside of You're so sick that shouldn't belong on that album lol)
Honestly it’s so funny how Donda and CLB will drop but I guarantee it won’t be as smooth and a perfect album from top to bottom like this one is ( those albums will have misses and Nas has none )
And the worst thing is this album has been kinda swept under the carpet with the drake and ye beef
@@inkgeneral124 Facts thats sad
Yktv was def a miss
@@josechamu240 Nah man YG saved it
@@josechamu240 nah son. Yktv is fire.
This is music without an expiry date. I feel like that's something that's hard to make- and find nowadays, and it shows how good Nas is.
You are the perfect reactor - get to enjoy the vibe of the music and you only add your 2c when you need to as opposed to breaking down every bar. Not to say I dont love bar for bar breakdowns but I also love and appreciate what you do.
Also thank you for promoting Nas to a younger audience. This is the AOTY and kids need to hear it!!
Facts, when it comes to full album reactions, jon takes the cake for me
His opinion is so similar to mine but he also has this vast amount of knowledge on music that I also get to learn with him while we're vibing
As a Nas fan, I couldnt have been happier. 1 other album I highly recommend is Pray For Haiti by Mach-Hommy. Its kind of a Griselda sound, mixed with some more abstract styles, and is one of the best albums of the year.
He’s heard it before on a live stream but it’s only available to watch on his Patreon
This is much more compelling than a Griselda sound.
he’s not a casual anymore He knows mach.

How do you feel about KD3 now?
One of my favourite albums of all time, glad I’m not alone!
THIS!!! My favorite reaction to KD II. I shared every one of your emotions. I can’t stop listening to it from end-to-end. Truly inspiring.
Such a great project, this was the first Nas album I had heard. So inspiring how he was able to adapt to the current rap landscape without sacrificing any of his creativity.
Listen to Illmatic. Considered by many to be one of if not the best hip hop albums of all time.
Lost to Kings Disease, it won a Grammy. It’s on par with this KD2
YES NEEDED THIS REACTION. I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND NAS SO MUCH
And I love Abel so much

This made my whole day. I love seeing Nas getting the respect he deserves.
Hitboy is fast becoming my favourite producer man, every track he produces is absolute 🔥 And what an album from Nas, living legend!
10 months later I’d say this was the rap album of 2021. Cmiygl, Simbi, and donda are all in that convo, but this is my favourite.
Every song was on point particularly from store run till Nas is good..that was legendary.
Honestly I really loved this album. I’m a huge fan of Nas, and the production on this record was just something else!! I loved how it brought back the 90’s sound in a modern way, Hit-Boy and Nas killed it!!
Yup, this is still my AOTY easily. No skips, great writing, lyrics and production. Nas and Hit-Boy truly delivered.
moments was wild, did anybody pick up how he recreated the flow from “we major” on the third verse as a reference? wildly deep artistry
Instant classic album!!!!!
I would call this album a Flawless Victory. I've played this album every day if not every other day since it came out and I'm not tired of it at all. This will be contention for Best Album Of the Year again this year I think. Please check out Belly's new album: See You Next Wednesday, I think you will like it.
CLASSIC!!! Store Run, Moments, to Nobody is the best 3 track run in hip hop for the last 3-4 years.
Always been the 🐐
Nas 🤝Hitboy = certified classic 💿
This album is one of Nas best projects period. Could tell it was your kind of hip hop album. It just gets in your bones
I’m so glad you did the whole album Nas is my favorite of all time and made me fall in love with music but no one else did the whole album because of numbers I’m guessing I appreciate it man
I've seen alot of people review the whole album
Incredible album, a game changer of fusing old and new school, as he always does throughout his career, that's why he's been called the golden child since he came out, the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
It's not a game changer at all lol
@@dadorage1695 thank you, but that's your opinion.
@@Shysta30 Yeah but you could listen to it
They don't give you one single rose while you can't smell it, so I pick from my own garden.... Nas deserve his flowers 💐.. 5mics album
Ha! I was waiting for this reaction. This album has so much replay value. Nas and Hitboy got something special going man.
Also Jon’s reaction to Store Run was literally all of our reactions 😂😂😂😂
"My photo the Jordan logo for this rap shit". It's not even fair. This man 48!!!!!! He the Shakespeare of our time. The Hitchcock of hip hop... thank the Gods whenever he graces us with his presence. Great review man!!
I'm so in love with Nas's Magic album that I almost forgot how great KDII was. Damn bro, you just earned yourself a new subscriber
Nas is definitely growing wiser and richer in terms of his artistry. He proves it every single time.
Jon your reactions simply bring me joy, sharing music with you is just an experience especially if you love music like we all seem to. Happy to know you and experience music with you, thank you.
Nas back in his bag working with Hitboy ..Hitboy's production to stay modern/create trends and Nas mentorship and penmanship has him easily Top 3 dead or alive 🔥
Denton love your raw listen and open mind to appreciating greatness
The best thing about Nas is he simply always meets his potential
“Yellow jaundice” are two words that have never been uttered in hip hop, and yeh, Nas has a billion of those, nobody would ever even think to include that on a record and apply to how he fell in love with word play
Bro recently started watching your vids keep this going. And I'm glad Im not the only one who thinks this is an absolute 10/10.
Brunch on Sundays is so goddamn good. Uses the same sample from Guard Your Heart which was one of my favorited from Big Seans Detroit 2. Beautiful BEAUTIFUL track man. Cannot believe how good this album is!
Rare form beat switch = F**k off, Store run = nah nah nah, I wasn't ready wires all missed up lol, Moments- What can I do to improve myself - big statement. Brunch on Sunday - shades on lol, I'm dead you honestly nail these reviews. From the beats to the concepts, bars, feel. I ve listened to this album way too much throughout this month (don't even have a favourite joint whatever plays dictates my day lol. But I watched your vid all the way, happy knowing that people out there are feeling the same, Greatness needs witnesses. Keep up the excellent work.
its been in heavy rotation like a disc changer in the 90s. I haven't heard an rap album that is better this year.
Jon I just want to say that I've seen your growth in knowledge of the game for a few years now jus wanna say I'm proud of you and what u have accomplished. Top 3 favorite reactor
I appreciate the respect you put on Death Row East, SOTY for me. The song itself is immaculate, but the HISTORY is incredible. The death of Tupac was a formative event for hip-hop and to hear a first person narrative detailing it from someone like Nas is invaluable.
When you threw on the shades during the beat switch in ‘Rare’ and ‘Brunch on Sundays’! 😂
Great review! This was my favorite album this year has become one of my favorite Nas albums.
I have been waiting for this. Your face during Lauryn Hill's verse was worth every minute.
KD2 is flawless, my goodness!!! 😭🔥
when you think you wasted your day, by lack of motivation, and listen to this. You said, at least I heard something brillant!
Ive been waiting for this, ty Jon
"I'm so inspired by this man". I appreciated those thoughts sir.
Ayyyee so happy you reacted to his album he is my favorite artist so underrated!
On this album,
Nas found the fountain of youth, and Hitboy found the sceptre of kings.
Album of the year by far.
Much better albums came out this year, there's no "by far"
@@dadorage1695 Your opinion. I stated mine. And I've heard a lot of the major albums this year, from JCole to Yeezy to Tyler to Grip (yes, that guy).
Bar for bar, musically, KD2 is ahead of the pack for me. The next is Grip's "I Died for This".
@@AFO_AnalyRics Check out Ka - A Martyr's Reward and Your Old Droog - Time then, who cares about "Major albums", albums that sell a lot aren't a gauge of quality, I don't have any of them in my top 10 of the year
@@dadorage1695 "Albums that sell a lot aren't a gauge of quality..."
Notice that I included Grip's "I Died for This?!", right?
And I'll definitely check out this Ka album you mentioned. It better not be a waste of my time. I'll come back here and let you know.
Nas this album i needed good music all tracks was solid no bullshit content KD2 on repeat since it came out
It’s a Brilliant Album, love this Reaction
I am thoroughly entertained at how much you love music and how excited you get at a good intro. 😂 New subscriber!
Bro! You are invited to any cookout I ever go to 😂
I’m so glad I found your channel
Best reviews of Nas I’ve ever seen
Your understanding of the flow, music, language, pockets and lyrics is astounding and effortless
Your not even trying to entertain but by how much you genuinely enjoy the music jus like I do it’s entertaining
I can tell you have a great heart jus by how you respond to music
Salute to you, you gota new fan and subscriber
Been letting this album grow on me man, it’s in my top 10 best rap albums ever. FUCKING EVER.
I agree. This album was an instant classic to me
This is the best reaction I ever watched. Much respect ✊🏽 🙌🏽
Nas is incredibly inspiring
Grip’s album that released Friday has one of the best Eminem in years. The EPMD2 Eminem verse suffers from the same problems we see in Em’s recent music. None of them are on Walkthrough with Grip. I advise you do the whole album too, it’s brilliant and you won’t be disappointed.
Would love to see Jon check out Grip!
I really don’t mind the over-saturation of punchlines from Em, but I agree that Walkthrough is one of the best Em feature in years. For me, all he needs to do is just sound hungry and flow like crazy.

Ems not funny anymore. All the slap stick sound effects shit is corny imho.
Dude i cringed for the first half of ems verse on the epmd track.The first half is trash and the second half is godly
Amazing reaction man!!
King Nas 👑
this is my album of the year so far
The one big criticism of Nas is that he never topped Illmatic, which is unfair considering its arguably the greatest hip hop album of all time. It Was Written is still a classic album. Now with the Kings Disease Trilogy, he has added another great run to his discography. In my opinion he is right up there in the GOAT debate.
Been fiending for this review to drop. This album is a classic
Had the same reaction when I first heard Store Run. Fire as hell 🔥🔥
Nas is " the perfection"🔥🔥
This album completely caught me off guard, it’s a different level to KD1 😓
40 side is so modern and amazing song. Nas is different, he is mature, poet and GOAT 🐐. Seriously talking
Store run my favorite song this year
Store Run instant Classic
NAS is a Vampire🔥💖 So Happy that he is still Here in 2021 🔥👍👌
God I loved this album man
That’s what I said about Store Run to No Phoney Love, the best run of tracks on an album since Life of Pablo. Solid, hitting, emotional, deep. Just damn amazing. And yes the tracks all the way to the beginning are amazing too. Brunch on Sunday is the only mediocre track. And it’s not bad. Just not to the same caliber as the rest of the album. I’m so inspired. So impressed. So happy to have such an album to listen to.
Love your passion for the music!
Aghhh been waiting for thisss!! So excited - this project is a gem !
Haven't listened to Nas or Rap for something like 10 years, although I never forgot that Illmatic and It Was Written are the best albums I ever listened to. But when I heard this I saw the old Nas return - because he has his old lyrics and voice, bug have also changed, as you said. This might become an historical album.
Stillmatic was very good.
God's Son was very good.
Lost Tapes Classic.
Life is Good Classic
Untitled very good
100 % agree with you, i feel your reaction, it's been a pleasure to watch it, and Nas deserve all the respect.
This album is pure art, a fuckin' masterpiece.
Peace from Marseille, France.
This is a classic for the Era of hip hop we are in today. It’s a shame that a lot of people might not see that possibly until 20 years later when people might review hip hop in this time line and say which rap album did you love.
This album will definitely stand the test of time . Hit boy did an amazing job modernising some of the jazzy soulful beats to fit this era of hip , also giving him beats that Nas wouldn’t possibly rap over .
Beats like 40side with that vibe of vibe but changing it up to fit Nas taste & YKTV with collaborations you wouldn’t thing Nas would like to collaborate with & and with a beat that would see playing in hip hop in terms of what we here today
So overall to me apart from the EMPD track I wasn’t too much feeling the album it’s a classic & to here Nas say on Apple Music that the next project with Hit Boy might be magical because of there connection with one another makes me excited for there next project
Store Run is insane
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 amazing album!
No Phony Love one of my favourite songs of all time, true greatness
I’m not surprised Jon Denton ran out of superlatives. It’s absolutely phenomenal that Nas is touching 50 And is still producing music of this calibre that is still relevant and current and progressive.
Album of the year 🔥🐐🎧
Ka for me

Great reaction!!! I’m so glad you understand and you get it!!!
This album is cool in the beginning. The from "Store Run" to "Count Me In" it takes it to a whole different level
People hating on em's verse like what ?
It was amazing
Happy you liked it
" i made cash deposits before the first, flashy diamonds, thats water works"
(you gotta think about the monopoly board to catch what he did) "Store Run" is special
This album has 0 skips
What a treat, a new first listen to this excellent album
Damn Jon, I'm down for whatever you react to, going nuclear on this platform!
This is album of the year
superb reaction, Jon. Captured my opinion and feelings perfectly, thanks!
Been waiting for this one
Great reaction! I came back to this amazing!
