Yo said…”Let’s throw a nickel at the wishing well rapper, watch ‘em sink to the bottom and I wish them all happiness” Nas is the GOAT….ain’t no debate. FOH!
This song is the mindset of a 35 plus man who has seen it all and done it all. You’re wiser and only make moves the make sense. People, family, friends all fade but you remain because of remaining true to yourself.
“Let’s play a game I hand you a king of diamonds / the hand is faster than the eye check in your pocket/ I snap my fingers I’m up in smoke like the chronic/ disappear reappear run in front of your optics” Ahhhh Magic Bars
Can’t argue with that. When all things are factored (longevity, depth of bars, albums/mixtapes ect) I have Nas and Ran as top dogs. Obviously, old Nas is unmatched but not a soul has been rapping like Ran over the 3-4 years. Add what he’s done prior and Ran has been untouched
Slow it down is a diss at Jay-Z I hand you a King of Diamonds which means Jay-Z take this Kings Diease series Snaps my fingers up in smoke like the chronic disappear and reappear right in front of your optics Which Means Nas is moving to fast for Jay Z Jay-Z has lost his flow that GOD DID was garbage he was all off beat if you got to Slow it down I won't laugh at you Nas is right People try to deflect from the fact that Jay-Z has fizzled out
He said: "Let's play a game, I hand you a King of Diamonds, The hands is faster than the eye, Check in your pockets".... Still continuing the MAGIC theme
Nas been lightyears ahead of them even when they both were living! Advanced Complexed Knowledge, Wisdom, Storytelling , Vocab, Rhyming Lyrical Skills to Anomaly!
@sunset2798 Nas was deeper & talked about alot more than pac. Pac just talk bit of the streets & revolution. Nas can talk about it all Street, Revolutionary, Politics, Economics, Science, Geography, Geology, Health, Wealth, Mathematics, History, Religion, Biblical & Spiritual Topic Matters with the Advanced Storytelling, Vocab, Lyrics to go along. Nas joint"I Gave you Power " inspired pac to "Make Me & My Girlfriend " & Nas even put Pac on Hennessy! Nas was Lyrically, Mentally & Spiritually ahead & and equipped for his age.
Nas should've taken the best tracks from all three of the "Magic" albums and put them on 14 or 15 tracks with the 50 Cent collabo all included on one record. Nas would've gotten Five Bars on that. And I would've remixed the other tracks, yo.
One of my favorite songs of the Nas/Hit-Boy era. The mystic vibe of the beat and Nas calmly weaving around and over the sample. The flow is crafted to ride the bounce but to also jump in and out sequencing to keep your ears tuned for what's next. Underrated track.
Hip hop in the flesh. Who's more hip hop than Nas? Who's more for the culture? Raise your glass. You don't have to like it, and call it mid. That's ok. But as for the culture, this is what hip hop is all about. Something for the mature audience. Years from now you'll feel every word.
"Thinking bout the days I first heard I became a Star. Words from my A&R, I'm noticing that they notice me....gun and a mean mug and was slow to speak."🔥🔥🔥
As a career magician, when Nas dropped magic on Xmas day it was beautiful. Hearing him continue the journey and make tracks like this warms my heart & sould
The clip from the beginning is one of my favorite parts of American Pimp with Kenny red and the fact that he dragged it into the beat made it even better!! Classic

That Nipsey bar was crazy did not see it coming and hitboy just makes some of the most creative instrumentals you ever heard legendary 2020 decades shit .
@@bennyhill2296 If you listen to it again he talks about a deal he did in the past I believe and he said Nipsey had a hand in the deal as well so he must remember that and threw that in his lyrics just to pay homage to Nipsey Hussle reflecting back on that particular moment.
As a Lifelong Nas fan this album is FIRE Nas and Hitboy is the Hip Hop Scorsese and Deniro or Dicaprio. This collaboration has been a 5 for 5 win keep it coming guys
Just heard this on UK radio. Marvin Gayes don’t mess with Mr. T sample dragged me in (bought that trouble man album about 50 years ago). This is silky and trouble-free.
The real album of the year right here‼️🔥
Yup 💯
Right 👍🏾💯
Nigga you ain't say one lie shit offical .
Chill
Another grammy
"If you gotta slow it down I won't laugh at you"....lmao. Nas always been one of them indirectly funny dudes.
Corporations are the modern day custy Nas best lyrics ever
Been listening to Nas since 99
No MC, rapper, or hip hop artist is touching Nas ever.
Not. One.

Magic Bars
I think the argument is over about who the real king of NY is and was. And who is the goat... NAS is the greatest..
*Nas like the Nazca Lines Can only be seen from up high*

Nas flow is definitely dangerous 👑
Im just happy hes here breathing he's literally one of the only ones who made it out
Nas the Don is the Greatest👑
This is the best track on the album. The flow is insane. Timeless but so present
Insane!!! That first verse flow change was so smooth

Yea this his best song on the album reminds me of Stillmatic
COLDEST record on this album!!!!
Easily
Man produced 5 classic albums in less than 3 years
Whatever you say about sales or money
But on pen game Nas is the Greatest of All Time 🐐
Can’t argue with that. When all things are factored (longevity, depth of bars, albums/mixtapes ect) I have Nas and Ran as top dogs. Obviously, old Nas is unmatched but not a soul has been rapping like Ran over the 3-4 years. Add what he’s done prior and Ran has been untouched

It's so fire bruh
Facts,Nas the Don 👑 is the Greatest!! Such a Golden voice
Nas like the Nazca Lines, could only be seen from up high
Only the true understand me, but I see 'em as family
I saw this shit when I was fourteen, I counted on it
I was born at dawn with a powerful, poignant style they wanted
Never dissin' for clout
Y'all know what this about
Niggas try to deflect from the fact people saw them fizzle out
The people saw them try to make hit songs that went wrong
This about the money, right? 'Cause all that shit done been gone
Just throw a nickel at the wishing well rappers
Watch it sink to the bottom, and I wish 'em all happiness
I'm in the cut, attention-needers need to front
See 'em front, the world watchin' them shine, that's all they want
And I always get my cut, imagine that making you mad
I'm just a real version, they don't make 'em like that
Never had to get the youth to relate for the bag
And since they smarter than us, they know Nas was once they age
Made they pay grade, the youngster phase
Same mistakes, the time have changed
Tryin' not to touch the cage, but touch interior
In the front is the trunk, that's the custom carrier
Let's play a game, I hand you a king of diamonds
The hand is faster than the eye, check in your pocket
I snap my fingers, I'm up in smoke like The Chronic
Disappear, reappear, right in front of your optics
Let's slow it down
Was I moving too fast for you?
Let's slow it down, then
If you gotta slow it down, I won't laugh at you
Let's slow it down
Slow it down
Might be moving too fast for you
Was I moving too fast for them? Slow it down
Let's slow it down
Upon closer inspection, they really are non-threatening, I bomb first and I stretch it
Instigators causing these problems, that's why I question everything and everybody that's aiming in this direction
That's why I sound like I been spending time in spa
Thinking 'bout the days I first heard I became a star
Words from my A&R, I'm noticin' that they notice me
Gun and a mean mug and was slow to speak
Now I hold meetings over cold sake and kobe beef
Hockey jersey, a hoodie underneath
Set up the trust, appoint the trustee
Corporations is the modern day custees
My flow is the hard substance, mastered at Bernie Grundman
The stovetop and oven, my company going public
I see the puppets, they movin' like they the judges
But Nas in all the subjects, it's hard for you to catch up with
Let's slow it down
Was I moving too fast for you?
Let's slow it down, then
If you gotta slow it down, I won't laugh at you
Let's slow it down

Might be moving too fast for you
Was I moving too fast for them? Slow it down
Let's slow it down
I might be movin' at lightspeed
I landed icy in Iceland to sightsee
This long mink on me pricey
I might perm up my shit like I'm Ice-T
American Pimp I'm on time and
Only thing that I pimp is this rhymin'
I made that work for me back since the 90's
That's the daily affirmations to remind me

To do what I'm doin's unlikely
This new urgency's perfectly hurtin' 'em
Send these suckers to emergency nightly
