Nas released his new Magic 2 album on Friday, July 21.
One Twitter user didn't like Hit-Boy's beats on the project and that one was enough for Hit-Boy to respond.
only Nas — who hasn’t picked an album’s worth of great beats since ‘94 — would make five albums full of loading screen beats from one of this era’s least inspired producers.

“Only Nas — who hasn’t picked an album’s worth of great beats since ‘94 — would make five albums full of loading screen beats from one of this era’s least inspired producers," the guy wrote.
The L.A.-area beat-maker responded in the comments.
“Coming from a failed journalist and failed musician. tough," wrote Hit-Boy.
Others also ripped the Twitter user.
Grammy win, 2 Grammy nominations, 3 number 1 albums, the highest rated album on Metacritic this decade and HitBoy named producer of the year 2022 by multiple industry publications. The game has passed you by son. It’s not Nas’s fault your favorite rapper can’t keep up with him.
