There shall never be a discussion about Nas's beat selection EVER again. Thank you Nas for reclaiming what was already yours. Like you told us in '96: "I tried to learn the game but only thing I found incredible/ Everything I tried to learn, see I already knew."
@@Don.M. That remix is still legendary even to this day, still dunno why Nas didn't put this on IWW. In terms of summertime jams, that was one Nas's smoothest cuts.
@@reezyturner051 To be fair Lost Tapes 2 were just old demos that just needed to be mixed. It's not like it was new work. Nasir counts but it's pretty bad lol.
@@Aenigmakil Agreed. I believe he’s open to diversified music considering the root and his core passion and love for music came from his father( A jazz musician ) That would be fire!!!!🔥 I would listen to him play for hours ❤️❤️❤️❤️👑✨🐐
Instant classic Nas track. So deep: The production; the laidback flow; the title of the song (mixing “Japanese” with “soul”), Asian and black…Nasty Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian…
Yo the beats are crazy dope...His flow is the best on Magic 3 ..Massive improvement. My favorite of his Hitboy colab collection..Nas is timeless..I will have this album on repeat for a while. Nas is Hip HOP!
Truly, they gon' cry when they see this movie (I know) No dry eyes in the theater, the viewers are livin' through me (uh) Been thinkin' 'bout who could play me in Tokyo, Paradisio, Belize (yeah) Karaoke, I'm participatin', singin' Barry White that is (ha), on a good night like this (yeah, yeah) How do I write like this? First of all, you gotta have a good life like this (woo) A real life like this Cigars in the Japanese Soul bar Drinkin' Scotch 'til daybreak (uh), KD 3 had gold bars (yeah) These vibranium can't break That's the one, do music for fun Make deals with artists (yeah) Pull up to the office Make deals with artists Pull up to the office Yeah Konichiwa
This is insane! I’ll be flying out to Japan in 3 weeks! - what a track! The whole album is fire, but this track here was definitely serendipitous. Nas, you’ve done it again! Big Congrats! The World is (Y)ours 🇯🇵✊🏾🇺🇸
The Japanese are real big on hip-hop. I like how he paints the picture of this soul bar. It's like you can see it in your mind. Wish I would have been there to see him perform.
The thing with hitboy is he finds different samples and makes his own beats over them and thats what makes them sound so darn good. I mean i know another producer named metro boomin and he does that too. Thats the thing with producers. They always find a old sample and make newer beats over the samples. Its just suprising to me about that.
Nas should also spit on that jazzy outro at the end with I believe Funk Master Flex talking over it in an interview he's doing with Nas. That would be dope.
Came back here after Hitboy posted the video of Nas reaction when the best switched at the end with the interview clip in it lol Nas had no idea his reaction was priceless lol 🔥🔥🔥great job
Met the God's Son in my hometown, Sanford, Fl and haggled with him over cost for a dime of O.G. indo. He's a real one, through and through. Godspeed, blessed be.
I was listening to Nas like 2 minutes ago, then I decided I wanted to make a beat so I looked up ''Japanese Soul'' to try find something to sample. Then this, something I've never heard before and that I didn't even know existed came up.
@@kdogg803 Osaka is great because you can have access to Kyoto, Kobe, Nagoya and Himeji all within an hour. The food in Japan is good too, so you don’t have to worry about it. The 7-11 alone will feed you lol. Hiroshima and Nagasaki if WW2 history is of interest to you. Karuizawa is a small town near the city of Nagano, if you like peace and quiet. Its a good visit too. But its been 9 years since I visited Japan, so things might be different now. You should research and plan out your trip, if you want to visit there.

Like you told us in '96:

So soulful. He can't lose over this production

THE DAMN BEAT SWITCH 😭🔥
it sounded just like alchemist made it.

I used to listen to Nas when I was 60, now I'm 17.
What’s going on? Why are people posting this comment? 😅
Yo the beats are crazy dope...His flow is the best on Magic 3 ..Massive improvement. My favorite of his Hitboy colab collection..Nas is timeless..I will have this album on repeat for a while. Nas is Hip HOP!
Magic 3 is my favorite of that series an king disease 3 is my favorite of that series
Wasn't a massive improvement because his flows on the other albums were super elite

For anyone that doubted Nas' Greatness... They know now...Amazing 🎶 🎵 🎤
Nas' flow from 00:00 - 01:00 sheesh
The second part of the song is incredible. It shows how far Nas has come and his longevity in Hip Hop.
I used to listen to Nas when I was 20, and now I'm 15. This will forever be a classic 🔥.

Solid albums since KD, this is a great run. Nas deserves way more respect and attention. 🎧🔥
Overrated. Life Is Good is the last classic Nas album imo but glad people are enjoying this still. Nas is legendary 💪🏾
@@Aenigmakil KD2 better than Life is good
@@AenigmakilMagic and KD 3 are certified classics and this is shaping up as one
Magic 2 was trash (felt like he was freestyling the entire time) and KD1 wasn't really my thing for the most part but I love the other 4 albums.
Nas 50 years young and these new artist are old news
Don't stop nas
Ending of the song makes me so sad. Imagine hearing about nas being young and up in coming after he passes.
Fam that second beat and the flow goes crazy 🔥
it sounds just like the alchemist made that part.
But it's tooooooo short
This is insane! I’ll be flying out to Japan in 3 weeks! - what a track! The whole album is fire, but this track here was definitely serendipitous.

Hope you're enjoying Japan, brother
Heavy rotation, then Khalil.
Is my music fire?)(
Out of the 6 albums released within 3 years I seriously put this one the top #1. KD3 is #2
Agree magic 3 & kd 3 ..top 2 outta 6 album run..
The Japanese are real big on hip-hop. I like how he paints the picture of this soul bar. It's like you can see it in your mind. Wish I would have been there to see him perform.

Wish he had a 2nd verse I thought he was when the beat switch

Magic 3 is the second best out of these 6 albums
KD3 at 1 right?
@@daffier_bs4911 yeah
I feel you, I dunno tho this might have kd 3 by a hair for real
Gotta think it might be #1 though Magic 1 was so tightly sequenced, and KD2 had some really soulful moments
It’s Number 1 ppl need to let nostalgia go sometimes this his 2nd best album to me period
Ain't nothing like real music 💯💯💯
Congrats to Nas on owning his masters. 👏🏻
