FIRST TIME HEARING- Nas - Magic ALBUM REACTON 

98% of artists are ordinary, NAS is extraordinary. He is a “rare” form

Nas is 48 bro. 21 years past the 27 club.

Nas is too Great. He doesn't talk alot , he just let's his work speak for itself

Simply the greatest of all time. Not even close. He’s timeless.

The fact that Nas is one of the greatest and has been doing this relevant shit since 91 should be more respected and admired, living legend of hip hop. he doesn't owe us anything, but I can't wait for the next one.

He is the G.O.A.T, believe me I grew up loving Rakim, but NAS took it further.

i don’t know if y’all caught that triple entendre on the Joe Black record. “New York’s J Prince on Houston Street” is soooo fucking 🔥🔥🔥 J Prince is from Houston, Texas. Houston is a street in downtown NYC pronounced differently from how it’s pronounced in Texas. Prince Street is a block away and runs parallel to Houston Street.

Classic from start to finish no skips only rewinds, god son delivers again, kd3 on the way! 🇯🇲🔥💯

" you really not a stepper brother , just step to a side , while I 2 step on a beat watch a veteran slide " God level lyrisicim

Soulja boy was the one who said Nas killed Hip Hop

NAS was, is, and always will be the GOAT.

Nas is THE best to ever do it untouchable. Not even something to debate. 🐐 Fire reaction. 🔥

I’ve never replayed an album front to back no skips on repeat this many times ever. Nas 🐐

As a Brooklyn native, i can tell you. NAS the king of NY. Before and after BIG. BIG was the ONLY undisputed king when he was here. Everyone in NY heard when BIG said he was king. And we all just said yes he is. Lol

He found the perfect name for this project. It literally is Magic! Nas is on a legendary run. Every rapper is shook now 😏

I’m a be long winded with this one, 1st Hit-Boy, he wasn’t on my radar until KD2. I listened to KD1 but not like that. 2 made me go back and listen to KD1, it’s just as amazing and now with magic, he’s in super producer status. It’s not like one or two songs that are good, the whole albums. Nas and Hit out here like Snoop and Dre in the 90’s. 2nd, you’re right, Nas is a Poet. He tell you in the third verse of “Nas is like”, I’m a poor man’s dream, a thug poet… 3rd, we really need to appreciate what Nas is doing late in his career. This does not happen. Even with the greats like Prince and Michael Jackson people say I love their music but it’s not like their earlier stuff. What Nas is doing now is better than some of his earlier stuff. When we talk about the best, those who are deceased should be placed in a special category. As much as I like B.I.G’s music, he put out two great albums. Nas got something like 19 albums right now 👑🐐Nas!!!

As you say Nas blacked out on verse 2 of the truth. Once Nas is your GOAT no one can top him. Too much skill. Too many classics

NAS is 'The Truth' 🔥🔥🔥 He's killing the game, at 48 yrs old!

Classic album start to finish , illmatic part 2 90 s vibe all over , anyone who questions Nas ability is deluded needs help 30 years in the game and dropping this !!!

Nas the goat end of discussion

Nas just give you a whole different level and feeling. That man is 48 and can rap better then anybody in the game. I knew he was the best in 93 and he hasn’t proved me wrong yet.

Stillmatic is a must Distant relatives with Damian Marley is mad underrated too, Nas doesn’t spit one bad verse the whole album If you want more Hit-Boy - he also produced Benny’s Burden of Proof, he’s one of the best out now for sure

“Bohemian grove couldn’t get Nas to visit” 😮‍💨 that line is saying a lot…look up the bohemian grove stuff if you dare! Also peep Distant Relatives, might be the most underrated Nas project out there.

Nas is definitely the greatest. You said it right, he transcends hip hop. Sik reaction!

Robert Johnson was a blues player who died at 27

He’s the greatest ever not just right now. Love Biggie, Pac, Big L, and Pun but they don’t have the catalog. Their lives were cut short and while their music was great we will never know how their future projects would’ve been. Most tend trend down not upwards. Nas stayed great lyrically his whole 30 years in the game. Some people didn’t like production on a few of his albums but they could never question his pen. His subject matter is unrivaled, I’ve listened to alot of hip hop and no MC, not one, has touched as many topics as Nas. Also number 1 in substance. He does it all. He’s technical, he has different flows, he’s a great storyteller, his vocabulary is vast, his voice and cadence is top notch. The overall best MC. I would say Jay is the only one that compare with the longevity he has had as well

After nas said,"PURE MAGIC" at 35:55 the reaction you displayed right after explains it all!!!! Luv to see it✊🏽

Nas is the best he speaks truth through poetry

You should react to the Nas stillmatic album. That’s another one of his classics.

Great album, Nas kept it real with this one. Addresses real issues other rappers won't touch while delivering yet another memorable album. Truth is one of my favs, it gives me Griselda vibes. Hitboy and Alchemist are delivering this year. Crazy beats!

Another classic album for Nas 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You are not laying when you say Nas is the greatest there is no OG rapper at Nas's age putting quality albums like this. 3 classic albums in a row at age 48. Only Nas has done it at this age in Hip hop history On a side bar it was Soldja Boy who said Nas killed Hip Hop lol.

That was Soldier Boy in the interlude.

I have been mesmerized with this album and been on repeat for like a month already. Your review did it complete justice. I'm 51 and been a Hip Hop Head since 85' and you truly get the pure essence this MAGIC!🔥 The first review I saw you do was Illmatic, your reaction was priceless and captured the feeling we all had on our first listen. Needless to say I Couldn't wait for you to do this one and you did it complete justice👍

We are witnessing a legend entering his 2nd prime

8:58 That’s actually Soulja Boy saying Nas killed hiphop. When Soulja first came out in like 06 or 07 he dissed Nas for the “hiphop is dead” thing. I wonder if Soulja Boy and Nas ever spoke because Soulja had to clear that for it to be put on this album. lol

Peace King. When you get a chance, react to Stillmatic. That was Nas’ comeback album after everyone counted him out due to his third and fourth albums, (“I Am” and “Nastradamus”) being received poorly by the critics and the fans alike. And to add insult to injury, Jay-Z had just came at him on “The Takeover”. Everyone was saying that Nas fell off (after “illmatic” and “It Was Written”) and that there was no coming back from Jay-Z’s “Takeover”. Then BOOM, he dropped Stillmatic and Nasty Nas proved all the doubters wrong. The album even got a 5 mic rating on The Source magazine, which only a handful of albums had ever gotten a 5 Mic rating (illmatic being one of them) So now he had TWO 5-mic albums (illmatic and Stillmatic).

a surprise Nas album drop on Christmas Eve was my favorite present. ❤️

"Johnson" was Robert "RL" Johnson, the blues singer and guitarist who supposedly sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.

The last Decade of NAS LIFE IS GOOD NASIR KD1 KD2 MAGIC MY LORD!

I gave u power Rewind Fetus Undying love Blaze a 50 No ideas original Verbal intercourse Songs like these are enough to prove this man is the greatest to grab a pen 🔥🔥🔥 Listen to them if u ever gat a chance to

Hearing tht "am I a magician? Or am I a musician? No tricks just real shit straight out the kitchen!", wit tht impeccable beat switch, yo no kidding, I straight up thought to myself: "Thank God for Nas"!!! Pure Magic!!!

This is the best hop-hop album Ive heard in a while. Its been almost impossible to listen to hip-hop for a while now and thank god my man Nas is the dude to do it. Hes been top 5 all-time if not #1 for me all-time. It brings me back to the golden era (90s-2000s).

NAS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES🐐🐐🐐🐐 Great reaction🔥

I’ve been a fan of Nas since ‘96 and with the two albums Nas released last year, I had to rearrange my Top 5 favorite Nas album list. I am beyond hyped for KDIII. NO TRICKS, PURE MAGIC!!

You are one of the best reviewers of music on RU-vid. Salute young king. Kings disease 1,2 and Magic are all crazy. Kd3 on the way.

This Album is so amazing Classic again!!! Great reaction

Honestly this is the best I’ve heard from Nas in regards to flow since Life is Good 2012!

Lol, my man said lemme go look for a bonus song. Can we acknowledge that there was a bonus song called Magic... Nas is different. Nas has been amazing since half man... 🙏👑 We appreciate you young sir... Your doing wonderful work here. Keep hip hop alive, and were here for it. Thank you for another dope reaction my G. 👑🙏

This my FIRST time listening to this album. And I'm BLOWN AWAY!!! WOW!!!! 🤯

Robert Johnson is a legendary blues musician from Mississippi. As the myth goes he sold his soul to the devil for his musical genius

You are correct. He is the Greatest of All Time.

Premier did the scratches and hitboy produced the beat. Premier posted it on his Instagram.

NAS THE G.O.A.T bro. Don't let them brainwash you my Man. I've been listening to Hip Hop since 1985, Nas is on another Level then there's great Rappers

Solidified his status as the GOAT with this project.

It was Soulja Boy who said that cap on Nas’s name

The music hits differently when you understand the bars! I had to come back to Magic album after listening to Magic 2 in your other video. First Magic is better but Magic 2 still can stand on its own! Thanks for putting out great content and reviewing it. 👍👍

Peep Nas using A$AP Rocky’s in pocket flow for his 2nd verse on wave gods

Nas rapping like he still in the PJs wants to get out ! Like he 20 years something living in QB

This magic 🪄 album 💿 is so amazing it’s a instant classic

Nas has been my favorite rapper since 94 I was 14.. I’ve watched you grow musically so much over the last 2 years. I love watching the youth embrace the legends!

Nas has been my favorite rapper since I was 15 yrs old man, to put that into perspective I'm now 43, so with that being said fam I don't blame you at all for saying he's your favorite rapper, dude is fucking ill and has lasted the test of time, legend, lyrisis icon, hip hop royalty! Period! Salute 🙌

Just dropping in to say Magic is a stone cold classic over a year later. Peace

Lol! I been thinking Nas said certain things certain ways. Me Jay and Frank White: Nas = J. Cole (Newer Generation insightful, poetic, genius, pro blackness) Jay Z = Drake ( NG commercial appeal) Biggie = Kenny ( I don’t think they match at all, Kenny is closer to Nas) but Nas wanted his name in there.

Dope reaction man! Glad you’re doing well also. Nas is timeless, the GOAT! I know you have a lot to review but I feel you need to add “The Lost Tapes” album to ya list. Some of his most creative work is on that project. Be safe

I was waiting for you to react to Magic so badly and hear your thoughts on it. Nas is definitely on a roll at the moment and starting to collab with Hit-boy was a genius move for both of them. Best MC producer duo since Gang Starr in my opinion. Magic will soon be regarded a classic I think. Keep up the great work Ahmad. Amazing channel.

BY FAR, you are my favorite reactor! I appreciate your respect & knowledge for the era I grew up on!!! 💪🏾💐💐💐👏🏾

🔥 Nas is the 🐐!

Shaq and Penny = Magic no skips, best hip Hop album in years imo.

THE GREATEST MC/LYRICIST OF ALL TIME, Nasir Jones! #NASTYTHENICEST 👑🐐

this is one of those albums you can listen every song and he has so many hidden bars if you pay attention Do Nas Stay Chiseled (original version) Prod. By Large Professor

Glad to see you finally do this one, Magic was SUCH a welcome surprise for Christmas Eve '21 of all days. There was such a wild moment letting the album play through the first listen where I was just "did this man really just make something that compares favorably, if not *BETTER* than KD2 in less than a year???" Dude is absolutely not playing, the golden child of hip hop indeed. I still have only The Notorious B.I.G. over Nas in a personal preference kind of way, but the depth of Nas' bag and this new run he's been on makes it so hard for anyone without the catalog depth to compare favorably. Edit: Not only that, but Nas' run makes me wish we were in the universe where him and BIG were active and competitive with one another. Nas' situation just makes you realize how much music we really lost when them boys BIG and Pac died.

love this reaction King, im from Queens, in my 40s and i aint play this album alot yet and still feasting on KDII, he didnt let that album breathe and then dropped this. u got me interested in downloading this album and running it now.

Do a two song Nas track in this order… “Sekou Story” then “Live Now”…. He’s rapping the female part too…

Glad you got in on this my man. Nas is on a run. How you gonna be this nice at 48? Never been done in Hip Hop before

This is pure enjoyment watching your face light up when every new beat comes in XD

Can't wait for KD3 to drop!

Had to run this back yesterday “meet joe black” bangs HEAVY

This joint is better than KD2 no cap 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I agree with your opinion about Drake not really being worthy of a top 3 spot, and this shows how smart Nas is. Check this bro, because on the Wu for the Children track, notice how Nas lined himself up with J Cole, lined Jay up with Drake, and lined Biggie up with Kendrick Lamar...I think he lined Jay up with Drake as an intentional backhanded diss disguised as a compliment...Nas' baby mama Carmen said in her book that the only other rapper he rated was Biggie. Back in the 90s, Nas wasn't happy with Jay always being mentioned in the top 3 with him and Biggie

okay, hands down... Nas still has it! Amazing album 10/10

He said “I’m 21 years past the 27 club” meaning he’s 48 years old.

Yea I got Nas n LL Cool J 2nd in my opinion but thier all greats n continue to be great in thier own ways. God Bless Everyone out there🙏🙏

I been here since '91 so I think ima good judge.. 1) Illmatic 2) It was written 3)Stillmatic 4) Magic 3 n 4 can switch tho. That's my humble opinion 🐐

At the end of track 2, when they are referring to “who killed hip-hop” and “hip-hop is dead” they are referring to the album by Nas called HIP-HOP IS DEAD. They were not referring to Nas killing hip-hop, lol.

nas is best by miles

Rakim & Nas. You pick the order. The best to ever do it

Nas my # 1 since i was a young boy 94 n for ever go nas 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

I was introduced to hitboy by his work with Big Sean's What a Life

We need Life after Death by Biggie. Let's get it

Great reaction. Stillmatic and Lost Tapes are also a must-react! Keep up the good work man.

Nas the goat baby!!!

1/ Speechless that Hit-Boy resurrected 90s Nas 2/ The GOAT reminds all pretenders to the throne to Meet Joe Black 3/ Ugly is a grower, growing more beautiful with every listen 4/ 40-16 Building is rightful and well-earned braggadociousness 5/ Hollywood Gangsta is for all the shook halfway crooks 6/ Wu for the Children is the golden era through rose-tinted 'phones 7/ Wave Gods Premiers lyrical and turntable genius 8/ The Truth will scrunch your face harder than an outrage (Joe Black meet God's Son, not sleepin' with ya cousin) 9/ Dedicated is head-nodding reminiscence bringing halftime Magic 10/10

You got some good ears young bruh..you did Ready to Die so go ahead and get that Life After death in you system to hear the rest of Big's story! Get Mobb Deep the Infamous, and go on down south with any of Outkast 1st 3 albums

KD2 & Magic top albums of 2021

GOAT

Do yourself a favor and listen to all 3 albums in order and you will see how they each got better one after another.

This album is beautiful! Not sure if you've done stillmatic, if you haven't....no need to say more

The goat was in his bag!!!!!! My second favorite Nas album!!!!!

The 🐐
