Album was freaking incredible
NAS "Life Is Good" (Official discussion thread) Release date 07/17/12
After listening to the album all day yesterday I think Bye Baby is one of my favs
Nas recently shot the next video off his hit Life Is Good album. And it's for his very personal single "Bye Baby." Check out some pics inside, plus Azealia Banks talking about her abusive mother...
Lance Gross, Omar Benson Miller and Nas' little brother were all on hand for the "Bye Baby" shoot. The song is all about his break up with Kelis and is a pretty personal track. Lance & Nas on one screen? Yes please.

New York rapper Nas releases his highly anticipated new album, "Life Is Good," this week, and the buzz is loud, mostly because the 38-year-old lyricist's recent guest verses and singles have been some of the most searing of his illustrious career. The album is full of revealing moments not only about his history rising in the NYC rap scene, but also of personal moments relating to his split from wife Kelis and his observations on raising children.
Below are a few notable rhymes from the album (with explicit language excised).
I’m pushing 40
she only 21
Don’t applaud me
I’m exhausted, G.
-- “No Introduction”
A soldier coming home 20 years old and no legs
Saying there’s no sense to cry and complain, just go ahead
So much to write and say, yo, I don’t know where to start
So I’ll begin with the basics and flow from the heart.
-- “Loco Motive”
His style never hollas loud, stays reclusive
Good dude, got that look like he’s always about to do ...
Side-of-his-mouth toothpick, one eyebrow raised
Got into it with a dude who still tried to live out his old wild-out days.
-- “Accident Murderers”
Twenty-to-life, I’m clubbing, blowing 20 tonight
We the Marlboro, Marly Marling all through the night
-- "Accident Murderers" (Rick Ross rhyme)
One day she’s your little princess
Next day she’s talking boy business
What is this?
They say the coolest playas and the foulest heartbreakers in the world
God gets us back, he makes us have little girls
-- "Daughters"
This morning I got a call, nearly split my wig
This social network said, ‘Nas, go and get your kid’
She’s on Twitter, I know she ain’t going to post no pic
Of herself undressed, no inappropriate ... right?
-- "Daughters"
I like to teach and build
for brothers about how easy it is to reach a mill
All you need is some skill, and then it’s grind time
Imagination is better than knowledge, says Einstein.
-- "Reach Out"
You never knew how to make dollars
You couldn’t make orders at a drive-thru McDonald's.
-- "You Wouldn’t Understand"
Yo I used to listen to the Red Alert and Rap Attack
I fell in love with the poetry, I mastered that
Cuttin’ school with Supreme Team at Phat Cat was at
Future not crystal clear, yet Baccarat.
-- "The Don"
Her beauty is her curse
she ... for shoes and a purse
Make me a movie first, can watch you on my phone
I shop in Barcelona spend some nights in Rome
-- "Stay"
Got any favorites? Chime in below.

that GFID was a let down.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR NAS RAP ON A QUIK BEAT. Nas is so versatile he can rap on anything. Just look at A Queens Story, Re;Generation with Premier and Hip Hop with Scarface and Justice League. Nas is the only rapper who can rap on everything and make it sound good.
Can't wait to see Nas, DJ Quik, Ice Cube and everyone else at Rock The Bells this upcoming weekend.

"Now holla at a millionaire
Rollie, Hublot and Audemar, deciding which one to wear
Who to screw, what to drive
550 with the cream guts inside
Or the Super Sport Range truck is fly
Diamond ring on my knuckles like fire, bitch
Gats on us, I don't really trust these guys
Spend a couple bucks a night on bottles on cuties
If she beautiful, the lustful type
I'll hit it and bust inside
Fuck it, I'mma die one day
They gon' probably make that day a holiday
Until then, let's go on a shopping spree
Speaking for my real niggas, only OGs
Certified who kill niggas when put in that seat
But tonight we on chill nigga, chill mode
Spill more Spades, listen to Jeezy and Hov, some Rozay
It's like we always on the grind with no brakes
So tonight we gon' act like we on vacation with this on rotation"
I can't stop playing this track. I don't know who wrote the hook (Victoria Monet maybe?) but that mug is catchy as hell.

Yo, for my nigga that got killed, got hit up
Vodka spills on the concrete, light a swisha
We miss ya
And for that girl who never made it home, shot in the dome
How they gon’ kill that beautiful sista?
Violent adolescents, homicidal with weapons
Not a lot of knowledge inside of they minds, that I’m guessin’
Tell me who you impressin’?
