Yes, he talks his s**t throughout the album, but also, he does a good job of hitting us with aggressive deliveries and lyrics that are very assertive. What I think makes Magic special is that it features a version of Nas that is as competitive as it gets.
The level of perfection that he still raps with at 48 is hella impressive. Right now, Nas is Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl at 43, LeBron James being an MVP candidate at 37, and your father that could still run the grill effectively at 65. Magic is just as good as King’s Disease II, and it isn’t even a deluxe project.
If you have a notepad in your vicinity, grab it and take notes while you listen to this joint. Throughout the song, he spits game about a bunch of things that I think jits can learn from. Whatever the case may be, when you combine the two, you get a masterpiece that would be nominated for rap song of the year in any year.Īnother thing that you should pay attention to with this track is the words that Nas spews out on it. I legit don’t know what’s more impressive: The hard-hitting/tough-ass beat that powers this song or Nas’ vintage raps. The Truth “The Truth” sounds like it came here from 1994 via Marty McFly’s Delorean.
Overall, the song is harder than trying to beat Mario Bros without a mushroom.Īfter this year, Nas might be in my top 10 of all time.ġ. In “Meet Joe Black,” Nas proclaims himself to be the number one rapper in the game, he talks about his chain birthing other chains, and he talks about robbing folks. I like it when my favorite rappers are humble, but I like it even more when they pop off. Meet Joe Black Nas talks major s**t in “Meet Joe Black.” All in all, “40-16” just feels like that one Nas track that solidifies his greatness.Ģ. 40-16 Nas spits Godly bars in “40-16.”ĭoesn’t “40-16” sound mean as s**t? Not only is the song powered by a beat that knocks harder than a Jehovah’s Witness, but it also features Nas’ grittiest deliveries mixed in with lyrics that bosses will continuously say Amen to. I don’t think “Wave Gods” is a top 3 song on this album, but I do think that it’s one of the most notable songs.ģ. They match each other’s energy and go hard in the paint like Giannis from a lyrical standpoint. Anywho, the chemistry that Nas and A$AP Rocky show in “Wave Gods” is phenomenal. Wave Gods Do you know what “Wave Gods” reminds me of? “Coming Of Age” and “Coming Of Age (Da Sequel)” with Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek.īefore y’all kill me for comparing A$AP Rocky to Memphis Bleek, what I’m going to need you to remember is that Bleek used to put up fire-ass verses in his prime. Nas caps off his amazing 2021 with “Magic.”
