NAS "Life Is Good" (Official discussion thread) Release date 07/17/12

[H-Rap 180]

I think Nas should drop a Lost Tapes 2 after he's done touring and printing this album.

He need to let the game breathe for a minute because ain't nobody but a few near his level on some rhyming shit.

I been thinking that if he wants to do another visual it might be on point to do Bye Baby since Daughters was the last one...maybe get Kelis to play her self in the video. LOL, but that Cherry Wine is a problem.

Fabolous gave Nas props too..

"I think it's actually a breath of fresh air for hip-hop," Fab said. "It's a different direction than a lot of the hip-hop that's been coming out more recent. It's so fresh. It's so good to hear fresh music once in a while. You know, nothing wrong with the sound that's in hip-hop right now, except for that it's over-saturated you know, but I think Nas gives a different approach. I think that's dope. "It's just about making great hip-hop overall and I think Nas' album adds to that," 'Loso added. (XXL Mag)

An immaculate version of Me and My Bitch by Biggie

With all respect cause you the only one that gets me

On Cherry Wine Nas pays homage to Biggie (and his song Me & My Bitch), similar to how he did on Nasty.

I'm curious to see how New Religion by GOOD Music is gonna sound, but Life Is Good is gonna be a top-two album of 2012 imo.

Fuck michael eric dyson, I can't stand that pseudo intellectual asshole. He gives actual intelligent people a bad name.

Which hiphop album has had this kinda effect on the masses in the last 5 years? None comes to mind.

the album has been receivin positive reviews, celebrities and influential figures hav called it Classic. That clearly debunks the myth that LIG is only viewed CLASSIC in the Illcommunity/Reason.

a Bye Baby video would be epic. Back When is my new favorite as we speak. Don has grown on me lately. Outta 19 tracks, 17 are dope/classic. If thats the case, why yall scared to use the C word?

Nas needs to head back to studio with ONLY, ONLY, ONLY DJ Premier, and craft jus 10 songs. I guarantee that would be classic.

Why even argue? Nas is on fire right now.

Yeah, I'd like to let this one sink in more. You can't rush good stuff like this. But if, and when he does I'd like Prem, and RZA to handle the Production.

Nas is the GOAT, i had this opinion before LIG dropped, i tried to approach this album unbaised. its fucking incredible this album! Personal favorite tracks: Locomotive, Roses, Wheres the love, Cherry wine (R.I.P Amy Winehouse), Stay, Back when.....

Nice to see Nas get some well deserved credit with the album reviews.

[RichPorterOfTheIC]

as much as I like this album I have to say a queens story beat is just plain wack and worlds an addiction should have had some drums and moved before or after stay. the placement of that song early on kinda fucked up the flow for me.

 

[JYo79]

When Nas decide to do the next álbum wouldn't mind if he get premo, large pro, rza, just blaze, alchemist, and kanye(i think the beat at the end of lift off would've been perfect for Esco, especially on LIG it's a shame it was wasted on that song).

The whole album is dope but Bye Baby is in heavy rotation.
