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

[H-Rap 180]

I heard 'Reach Out' on radio here in the UK last nite

You don't belong over there dilla, you need to come to the states were you can feel the culture here that birthed HipHop.
=youtube_gdata_player

They gotta play 'Reach Out' it's too juicy not to.

I have heard a lot of whispers that Nas got action at a Grammy and I can't think of anybody this year that could compete with him in that category unless 2-Chainz releases a lyrical masterpiece or French Montana makes another Illmatic.

We know the Grammys really don't mean shit but it's always nice to get a trophy and have your music recognized.

I guess Mary J can say she finally redeemed herself for BraveHeart Party.....that shit was not OK.

Its virtually the best HipHop record released this year

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

NAS THE GOAT

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Nas album shits on every album from the last... 5 years maybe ten years (Since Stillmatic/Lost Tapes era) i mean he gave you vibes from the 90s to 2000s to now and it doesnt fall off one second from beginning to end. It's basically perfection if you want to call an album perfect. The Don is my favorite song but EVERY track bumps in your car with amazing bass and treble. I dunno bruh, it is what it is. 5mics without any argument. This thread should still be stickied, it might be talked about relevantly until October.

 

[illedout]

almost two weeks in and I can still play the album all the way through..

LIFE IS GOOD...

 

[genocidecutter]

Album of the summer

 

[slugproof]

Loco-Motive...one of the illest tracks of the new millennium. The lyrics, the beat, the background train/subway noises...man...

"it's ghetto beef, sinister niggas snicker through yellow teeth"

Nas aint no punchline rapper, but the images he brings forth with his lyrics are what makes him one of the GOATs

 

[buttuh_b]

Nas is the Miles Davis of hip hop.

 

[Turfaholic]

Summer On Smash could've gave Nas a summer anthem if it was a single

[Igot5onit]

The more I listen to it, the more I think it's a classic. Only songs out of the 18 tracks that I skip is " Reach Out" and "Worlds An Addiction", not bad songs just not feeling them.

 

[southsil4lil]

What an incredible album.....who wants to bet Jay gonna try and come with some heat with his next effort

 

[white715]

No disrespect to Ross but I think he should've had Raekwon on accidental murders

 

[MARIO_DRO]

I HAD TO DOWNLOAD THE INSTRUMENTAL OF "STAY" THAT JAZZ BEAT IS TOOOOO SMOOTH!

 

[clairvoyance]

Finally heard the rest of the album.....The album is dope...My favorite line on the entire album is "one gun, one crazy ass n*gga that's [BJUNGLE[/B]".....NO I.D laced NAS with a Like water for chocalate beat on 'wheres the love', I know Common was like dam he shouldve gave that beat to me.....L.I.G is well worth the purchase..only,track I skip is SOS besides that no complaints

And I think it was hrap or mumo you gotta cut Nas some slack the man dropped untitled & DR back to back which were heavy on the empowerment side, sometimes fans asked too much from theyre favorite artist you gotta give them some room to breath...he still was dropping jewels throughout the album.
