I love this album. I love both King’s Disease albums. NaS has found a perfect stylistic partner in Hit Boy. It works so well. These two albums will be in constant rotation in my headphones for the next 20 years. King’s Disease 1 & 2 are the new Illmatic & It Was Written.
Nas is my favorite rapper of all time, so I needed this album to be good cuz his past few projects have been meh, but thank God it was. He sounds so focused and hungry and Hit-Boy absolutely killed it on the production. Fantastic body of work.
Nas always brings the best out of AZ and it's been that way since AZ's guest verse on Illmatic in 1994. That was one of the best verses of this genre. And AZ just proved himself again that he can rap with the best of them!!
glad you mentioned how the environment makes you, nothing comes from within alone. There is no free will, just a never-ending cause and effect called determination and fate.
@@leonlang2505 yes it does, you can't both have the laws of physics yet also something that acts outside them. Everything that happens is due to cause and effect and scientific formula leading to the only possible future there is from the only possible past there was. The true question is if ultimate knowledge is possible, and if so, would free-will then be invented, or the illusion totally understood. The whole concept of nihilism is the only credit I give to the chance there are unpredictable factors that can never be understood, at least by us.
I was lucky enough to see Nas perform Illmatic on his 20th anniversary tour, I never thought I'd be able to witness that since the album was made a year before I was born. LEGENDARY
Love your vids. Check out Life Is Good by Nas. Speaks on his growth after 2 decades in the game and speaking on his life as a man having a daughter, his divorce, and reflecting on his career.
You should check out Flatbush Zombies' new single called, "Afterlife" that was co-produced by James Blake (the music video is one of the most creative and cool videos I have seen in a very long time)! Also, FBZ have been working on a project that will be mainly produced by James Blake. Erick the Architect is really good friends with James Blake now which I think is awesome!
Great reaction I feel like to really appreciate full circle people need to know about the history about the firm. It had the potential to be something special back then but it never really took off, so seeing it after all these years on a Nas album is next level kind of dope.
This album don't sound Forced. It sounds organically and naturally created. I even changed my profile pic today because its just incredible how this dude can bounce back so strong after being down. He dropped Nastradamus. A mediocre album, basically created and dropped by his Label instead of dropped by Nas himself and he came back STRONGER with STILLMATIC. Now Kanye rushed a project that at the end sounded wack sonically and this dude Nas is like...." don't worry my people, I got something exclusive and Nice for Y'all " this KING'S DESEASE album is pure Art, amazing, the direction of the album gives to it its own personality. Track by track. Just listen to the album while looking at the illmatic Cd cover. And you'll appreciate what we're just witnessing. A Classic
I personally liked this album, the over auto tuned tracts were a bit of a set off, but personally is a light 8 to me. Lets hope Kanye will come back in the same fashion.
Hip Hop is a headless monster No wander I'm fighting to be a head of my peers Taking shots in them bars, you get this toast without cheers But my weapons don't kill, they stay concealed Until I shatter your dreams unfulfilled, Weapon revealed They wanna know who I'm up against Will it be a lyrical circus But me against myself is the best verses What's the purpose of comparing men to men, It's all surface Can't rescind our appointed end, that be man's burden On the cusp of a cultural war, I used to know where I stood But then they gentrified our thinking, this ain't the hood How you gangster but wanna pop molly (Miley), What's really good Treat addiction like it's your new hobby, What's really hood Them vultures preying on the culture, no shocker (SHAKA), no Zulu Listening to them rhyme, all are bored (aboard) like a chu, chu Glorifying dysfunction but that message ain't FUBU Wanna put us in the pens (depends), for some sh*t we didn't do, do So who knew... The very same ones who you looked up to would try to destroy you So who knew The very same ones that we looked up to, we would need to rescue
You should do a single video talking about your favorite films of all time. You've got a unique way of discissing and breaking down a project. Wonder what would be on your list
First time watching your reviews, u killed it, I'm lmao, your face when the beats drop but also your take on the lyrically content= superb. The album touches real issues, whilst being playable, whilst being Nas.,,what i find important about this album is Nas merging the young wid the old, almost like a uncle figure. A lot of men need guidance (not just how to make money talk) on various issues and I feel this albums gives a bit of that. Nice one, subscribed.
Listened to it twice already, this might be my Top 3 Hip Hop albums of 2020. 27 Summers is 🔥. Also, Don Toliver been on 🔥this year, watch out for that dude
The Key to staying successful as a Rapper, is mostly staying as a public figure. Nas is a legend and people no matter what age are always going to listen to what he has to say. A lot of Rappers get older and dont have that staying power.
Bit of a weird request on a video like this, but I wanted to ask you to react to an older album. This is wretch 32 and avelino - “young fire, old flame” it’s a great album and I think you would enjoy it
Just an idea, i think it would be good to add tier system (like the top gear cool wall) etc, at the end of the album. I'd be interested to see where you rank albums amongst each other. just a suggestion. Keep the grind up prophet. love your content!
Slo Mo I disagree but I’m not mad @ those two. 444 was great like a portal back to 2001, & MMLP2 was also a portal back to ‘99. Not sure bout “No Pressure” you talking bout Logic ?
Marquise Walston Yeah. Logic honestly had one of the best comebacks I can think of. Not many flaws on No Pressure and crazy to think it came 1 year after two atrocious albums
What's up with fetti?
Oh wtf it’s silent. I have no idea why. I can’t take the vid down now because it’ll die.
@@JonDenton most likely youtube auto doing it
He was speechless
Hitboy's production is so fresh on this album.
Incredible
Gets me excited for the Big Sean album too
Its aight premo would have been better
I dropped a tear listening to this album. Nas was killing it lyrically and Hit-Boy production was great. What an inspiring and 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 album
Nas- Life is Good. Very underrated
Yes it is
Jon Denton doesn’t miss
Yes he did, dude listed “full circle” as his least favorite.
I love this album. I love both King’s Disease albums. NaS has found a perfect stylistic partner in Hit Boy. It works so well. These two albums will be in constant rotation in my headphones for the next 20 years. King’s Disease 1 & 2 are the new Illmatic & It Was Written.
Loved King's Disease. Everyone make sure to check out the Ultra Black video.
Nice call out my guy.
Nas is my favorite rapper of all time, so I needed this album to be good cuz his past few projects have been meh, but thank God it was. He sounds so focused and hungry and Hit-Boy absolutely killed it on the production. Fantastic body of work.
I actually really enjoyed NASIR but I see where you're coming from, this album is banging
Jon your very consistent it’s very insane
27 Summers and Spicy are my favorites so far. Whole album is 🔥
AZ killed his verse on Full Circle, may be the best verse on album
Nas always brings the best out of AZ and it's been that way since AZ's guest verse on Illmatic in 1994. That was one of the best verses of this genre. And AZ just proved himself again that he can rap with the best of them!!
so fire🔥🔥
His flow and style is second to none, cormega also showed why his so unique. Hope to hear them collab more often.
Az never disappoints.
Mitch look up honest truth with 38 Spesh for classic AZ or mo money mo murda
glad you mentioned how the environment makes you, nothing comes from within alone. There is no free will, just a never-ending cause and effect called determination and fate.
Disagree. Theres both - free will doesnt contradict the fact that environments shape you.
@@leonlang2505 yes it does, you can't both have the laws of physics yet also something that acts outside them.

My first listen favourite song was 27 Summers but the track with Anderson. Paak has become my favourite now
Mine too
How is “full circle” your least favorite, that’s just blasphemy As a Hip-Hop fan.
This is such a feels good album. But also deep lyricsm and important topics. With some classic hip hop mixed with trap. Love it
best rap album ever made from someone 40+ years old.
Theres no one I'd rather watch react to this... Only channel I have notifications turned on for!
cure is one of my fav nas tracks ever
27 summers should be longer, that beat though
JD you a absolute GOAT. You never miss. The prophet working overtime
This project is phenomenal!!!!
Listen to N.E.R.D - no one ever really dies album
Yes pls
2 goat kendrick features on that album and a classic song with future, must listen to that underrated masterpiece JD
@@franciscoescada8752 lemonade with Rihanna is really good too
Yeah and the song with 3stacks as well
8/10,nas returns to from
The cure is the best track on the album!!! The beat change at 1:24 of the track is unreal
True that
Love your vids. Check out Life Is Good by Nas. Speaks on his growth after 2 decades in the game and speaking on his life as a man having a daughter, his divorce, and reflecting on his career.
100% facts Nas the 🐐 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
This is one of my favorite albums of the year, really surprised me🔥
I love when the GOATs drop man, just blessing us with jewels.
Asked for this. Thanks man. What a legend ! 👊
I think you'd love Sawayama by Rina Sawayama. Best album of 2020 in my opinion even Elton John loved it
Yes! Rina Sawayama is sooo underrated. Definitely worth a listen
I second this!
Yeah he should do it, he heard XS on his Twitch stream and he loved it !!
Word
Once a King always a KING 🤴👍
What a fucking legend! Had the pleasure to see him live while on tour with Lauryn Hill. The definition of perfection.
What a combo
8-9/10 Solid Album for sure.hitboy doesnt overdue it. his beats are well balanced and it all works.
You should check out Flatbush Zombies' new single called, "Afterlife" that was co-produced by James Blake (the music video is one of the most creative and cool videos I have seen in a very long time)!
Also, FBZ have been working on a project that will be mainly produced by James Blake. Erick the Architect is really good friends with James Blake now which I think is awesome!
another classic 🙌🏻💯🔥
2:15 WOW, EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN I HEARD IT!!!
Great reaction I feel like to really appreciate full circle people need to know about the history about the firm.
It had the potential to be something special back then but it never really took off, so seeing it after all these years on a Nas album is next level kind of dope.
This and alfredo AOTY I cant decide tho
Next week we have that new Big Sean album! He’s really underrated
Nick Grant - God Bless The Child EP
Agreed! One of my favorite albums of 2020 right here!
Yo your a legend for this request, defs top 3 albums this year
At first I didn't like the album cover but recently I see it beatiful
This album don't sound Forced. It sounds organically and naturally created. I even changed my profile pic today because its just incredible how this dude can bounce back so strong after being down.

Bro listen to “SONDER - INTO” or “BRENT FAIYAZ - SONDER SON” both 10/10 🔥
Clicked on this so fast hahaha
Had to take my earphones out to check if the drilling was outside my house...even after you said it was at your house
This album was sooooo good
Ohh I'm looking forward to this
Jon I haven’t watched any reactions since rock reacts. Glad I found you homie
Tana Talk 3 by Benny The Butcher, it’s a masterpiece
Can't believe you didn't love this album? This IS a masterpiece.
I personally liked this album, the over auto tuned tracts were a bit of a set off, but personally is a light 8 to me. Lets hope Kanye will come back in the same fashion.
More of a solid 7 but yeah great comeback for Nas for sure, let’s get Jon to react to Black thought!!!! His Eps in 2018 are amazing
Great video Jon
Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic untouchable aint no debate. You should do whole reaction to It was written, Illmatic, Stillmatic etc. 🔥🔥
The Joey Diaz rant about calls v texts being edited in was gold. 10/10 Jon.
You sir's just got yourself a new subscriber! Dope review.
Great Reaction/Review
Nas album series?
Hip Hop is a headless monster
No wander I'm fighting to be a head of my peers
Taking shots in them bars, you get this toast without cheers
But my weapons don't kill, they stay concealed
Until I shatter your dreams unfulfilled,
Weapon revealed
They wanna know who I'm up against
Will it be a lyrical circus
But me against myself is the best verses
What's the purpose of comparing men to men, It's all surface
Can't rescind our appointed end, that be man's burden
On the cusp of a cultural war, I used to know where I stood
But then they gentrified our thinking, this ain't the hood
How you gangster but wanna pop molly (Miley), What's really good
Treat addiction like it's your new hobby,
What's really hood
Them vultures preying on the culture, no shocker (SHAKA), no Zulu
Listening to them rhyme, all are bored (aboard) like a chu, chu
Glorifying dysfunction but that message ain't FUBU
Wanna put us in the pens (depends),
for some sh*t we didn't do, do
So who knew...
The very same ones who you looked up to would try to destroy you
So who knew
The very same ones that we looked up to, we would need to rescue
We need that kings disease 2 reaction jon i think it might be better
You should do a single video talking about your favorite films of all time. You've got a unique way of discissing and breaking down a project. Wonder what would be on your list
Loved seein az back with nas and spicy was so damn good
Wow you get it bruh! That teacup line was very important
Liking your review style. ..keep it up
King's Disease II dropping on August 6th! You should do a review for the new album when it drops as well. Your review's are dope.
First time watching your reviews, u killed it, I'm lmao, your face when the beats drop but also your take on the lyrically content= superb.

Fr 27 summers 👑
I'm hoping someone jumps on 27 summers and remix it felt like a teaser. "Bittttch more black CEO's"
Listen to Jay Rock - 90059 Album followed up by Redemption
Blue Benz is a BANGER 🔥🔥🔥
nice one mate.. very well reviewed!
Love your reactions... I feel like we share the same vibes on a lot of projects...

Hello Mr 👋 Vic Mensa came back with some shit you'd really like, your reactions are very entertaining, good job.
Released same day as this one. Great 7 track album by Vic
Bit of a weird request on a video like this, but I wanted to ask you to react to an older album. This is wretch 32 and avelino - “young fire, old flame” it’s a great album and I think you would enjoy it
Great video
Are you going to give Dave East's Karma 3 project a listen and review, which came out recently as this one too?
I gave you power wow great Nas song !
Just an idea, i think it would be good to add tier system (like the top gear cool wall) etc, at the end of the album. I'd be interested to see where you rank albums amongst each other. just a suggestion. Keep the grind up prophet. love your content!
React to xxxtentacion teeth and let’s pretend we’re numb they’re old songs
He should react to a old xxxtentacion soundcloud playlist with all his best old shit. Got a feeling John would fuck with it 👍🔥
Spicy is at 19:47
Full circle least favourite track, personally I thought it was best and all the verses were great especially AZ’s verse
This is a 9 out of 10 for me. Maybe even a 9.5.
Jon always be hitting the same 🔥 have you heard of PLAZA - Personal? He's very similar to the weekend
🔥🐐
Such a good album
Gunna wunna reaction
Need a translator for that one
Ujwal Nippani what?
@@benjaminjimenez880 Because Jon wont understand what gunna is saying
Ujwal Nippani Because Gunna is a mumble rapper. Jon has reacted to plenty of mumble rap before. Gunna has an amazing rapper voice.
Ujwal Nippani If you don’t like the sound, don’t listen to it. But clearly Jon doesn’t mind it.
Did Paul McCartney dirty with that clip 😂😂🤣
React to the new dizzie rascal chip song please John. Massive tune!
This album is the greatest victory lap any rapper ever recorded.
4:44, MMLP2 and No Pressure are better
Slo Mo never
@@jordanfelix6879 At least the first two. No Pressure is more debatable
Slo Mo I disagree but I’m not mad @ those two.
444 was great like a portal back to 2001, & MMLP2 was also a portal back to ‘99.
Not sure bout “No Pressure” you talking bout Logic ?
Marquise Walston Yeah. Logic honestly had one of the best comebacks I can think of. Not many flaws on No Pressure and crazy to think it came 1 year after two atrocious albums
Westside Gunn & Conway - Hall N Nash. 🔥🔥🔥 would be dope to see you listen to some of Griselda's older work.
Do Enter the 36 Chambers - Wu Tang Clan
you should life is good. his best work post 2010. too underrated.
SPICYYYYYY
If Jon knew the history behind the names on Full Circle I think he would appreciate it more, I respect his opinion though of course.
Harry styles fine line!!!! It’s a master piece
For me personally, I hate it when a beat is good but it has no drums. Drums are a must for me.
I used to agree until I found Roc Marciano
You should check out Ransom- Directors Cut Scene 3
