Ep.75 - Nas - King's Disease, I Cure This Shit With My Art
On Ep.75 of DITD: We bring fresh statistics on the themes of Nas' latest opus, "King's Disease" and how whilst he talks about the same things, they still feel fresh on the ears.
Nas' new album "King's Disease" is an interesting piece of work from someone that has nothing really to prove. The themes, whilst widespread, are very surface level. Black excellence, money, cars, all wrapped up in his new package the 'King's Disease' and 'The Cure' to said disease. (And he still finds time to shit on black women whilst also calling them 'Queens'...)
We break down the themes of the album and how he manages to keep his bars box-fresh after all these years.
