Aug 2, 2023Mid as usual. Just an average album while we wait for KD4. It has some good songs but, overall, not good enough in my opinion.

Aug 2, 2023This Album definitely took 4-5 listens to love, it grows on you.
Slow it down, Motion & Pistols on your album cover are Nas at his best. -
Jul 29, 2023Nas and Hit still doing great things for Hip Hop. After 5 albums and who knows how many songs they’ve actually recorded, this is an absolute Gift.

Feb 5, 2024While not all of Magic 2 is this strong, there are several moments like this one ["One Mic, One Gun"] that can contend with the best of the King's Disease material.

Sep 14, 2023Sure, there are a few things that could be improved (that golden scrotum line for one – not even Roc Marciano could pull that one off), but I can’t imagine many Nas fans are upset with more of the same, when both Nas and Hit-Boy are on such a hot streak.

The WireAug 8, 2023If Magic 2 reveals that Nas can definitely still rap, it also continues his unfortunate run of uninspiring production choices. There are enjoyable moments, like the 50 Cent assisted “Office Hours”, the ominous string driven force of “Motion”, and the mesmerizing penmanship on “Slow It Down”, but overall the album falls short for an artist of Nas’s stature.
