Nas - KING'S DISEASE 2 - THE TRUE FIRST REACTION! 

1:10 The pressure 3:33 Death Row East 5:51 40 Side 9:01 EPMD 2 11:41 Rare 14:25 YKTV 16:17 Store Run 18:48 Moments 23:03 Nobody 26:15 No Phony Love 28:05 Brunch on Sundays 29:53 Count me in 31:26 Composure 32:52 My Bible 34:40 Nas is Good

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.

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

Nas is THE best to ever do it. My opinion , and this album is a classic. THE 🐐

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

Nas' voice will always be a staple New York icon

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

Nas never dies... His lyricism and production are so timeless and this is the album of the year imo

album of the year again, feels like Nas is in his prime again.

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.

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

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 )

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

One of my favourite albums of all time, glad I’m not alone!

YES NEEDED THIS REACTION. I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND NAS SO MUCH

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.

Hitboy is fast becoming my favourite producer man, every track he produces is absolute 🔥 And what an album from Nas, living legend!

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!!

This made my whole day. I love seeing Nas getting the respect he deserves.

Every song was on point particularly from store run till Nas is good..that was legendary.

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.

Nas 🤝Hitboy = certified classic 💿

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.

Yup, this is still my AOTY easily. No skips, great writing, lyrics and production. Nas and Hit-Boy truly delivered.

Instant classic album!!!!!

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

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

CLASSIC!!! Store Run, Moments, to Nobody is the best 3 track run in hip hop for the last 3-4 years.

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

Always been the 🐐

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 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

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 😂😂😂😂

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

The best thing about Nas is he simply always meets his potential

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.

"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!!

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.

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!

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

KD2 is flawless, my goodness!!! 😭🔥

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

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.

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

Ive been waiting for this, ty Jon

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.

Ayyyee so happy you reacted to his album he is my favorite artist so underrated!

This album completely caught me off guard, it’s a different level to KD1 😓

Been letting this album grow on me man, it’s in my top 10 best rap albums ever. FUCKING EVER.

when you think you wasted your day, by lack of motivation, and listen to this. You said, at least I heard something brillant!

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!

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.

This is the best reaction I ever watched. Much respect ✊🏽 🙌🏽

On this album, Nas found the fountain of youth, and Hitboy found the sceptre of kings. Album of the year by far.

Nas is incredibly inspiring

Nas this album i needed good music all tracks was solid no bullshit content KD2 on repeat since it came out

Nas is " the perfection"🔥🔥

this is my album of the year so far

Amazing reaction man!! King Nas 👑

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 fiending for this review to drop. This album is a classic

I agree. This album was an instant classic to me

"I'm so inspired by this man". I appreciated those thoughts sir.

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.

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.

NAS is a Vampire🔥💖 So Happy that he is still Here in 2021 🔥👍👌

“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

Store run my favorite song this year

God I loved this album man

Had the same reaction when I first heard Store Run. Fire as hell 🔥🔥

Store Run is insane

Store Run instant Classic

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

This album has 0 skips

Aghhh been waiting for thisss!! So excited - this project is a gem !

This album is cool in the beginning. The from "Store Run" to "Count Me In" it takes it to a whole different level

Love your passion for the music!

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.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 amazing album!

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.

so far Nas has the best album this year

Album of the year 🔥🐐🎧

This is album of the year

I also recommend a follow up video for your favorite albums. Just to hear more refined thoughts. Thanks for adding a scoring system to your reactions.

" 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

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.

People hating on em's verse like what ? It was amazing Happy you liked it

40 side is so modern and amazing song. Nas is different, he is mature, poet and GOAT 🐐. Seriously talking

Rap Album of the year. Easily. Yeah, Donda and CLB have the clout but Nas murdered this album from start to finish.

Great reaction!!! I’m so glad you understand and you get it!!!

Would love to hear Westside Gunn on a song with Nas

Still the best rap album out right now….very inspirational especially in these times

He’s the GOAT listen to more of his albums

Damn Jon, I'm down for whatever you react to, going nuclear on this platform!
