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

[peacetothereal1]

I agree, but Sly Fox as well as that whole album is my shit...and you're right Black Folks doesn't usually watch (and shouldn't watch) Fox news, but what's wrong with shedding light on how the biggest news station shovels dirt on your people and your culture with filthy propaganda?...being that we might not know, because we don't usually watch it

I can hear that argument. Nas might have just wanted to shine light on it...I just feel like fuck a fox news. Yo.... Nas has definately taken a step down though.

 

[illogics]

Nas has really always been my favorite rapper. I was 14 when illmatic dropped and I used to listen to it when I went to sleep at night...it got me through a lot of shit...just the beat from the world is yours alone used to put me in a thinking mood and then came the lyrics. I have bought every Nas album besides the Nigger album. I mean...it shouldn't be a surprise to you that Nas is anyone's favorite m.c. he was most people's favorite m.c. cuz he was the coldest. But dude lost somethin after God's Son honestly. On Streets Disciple he put a lot of bullshit filler on their just to sell a double album when he could have made the album a classic by pulling all the garbage off the album (the fuck is a suicide bounce?). Maybe i'm being too critical, but shouldn't you hold the "greatest" to a higher standard? Then he dropped hip hop is dead...besides hold down the block...mastermind...dreamin and can't forget about you (hip hop is dead was theifs theme sped up ... come on Nas...) I don't remember shit from that album. That's FOUR TRACKS. Nigger...man I don't even wanna talk about that...maybe four or five...I don't give a FUCK about fox news...that's some white people shit...niggas don't watch fox news and I don't give a fuck what they think about us or what they put out there. They only put out what their racist audience wants to see...so miss me with that shit, then the protest... CORN BALL! So now Nas is coming out with an album called Life is good and I'm not excited. I'll listen to it...but he came with two duds (by Nas STANDARDS) and I'm going to wait and see if he's motivated this time around. You should too.

Fam, fuck the album title. Did you actually read? He said he bringin Esco back. That should be enough.

Mos def just like every other rapper who ages. Literally every rapper and still Nas>>>Rakim

 

[georgia boi]

Being that his last two album titles were controversial and were pretty complex, it's natural that this one is safe and simple. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[buttuh_b]

It's safe and simple but yall know Nas can do so much with it. Like listen to the first 2 tracks off Untitled.. his music creativity is unmatched. He said it's gonna be something new and fresh.

I'm thinking that the content and lyrics won't reflect the title. I could be wrong but I think that the title will be a play off how everyone thinks "Life Is Good" on the surface, but underneath it all is the turmoil and pain that come with the "good life". I think Nas's lyrics will reflect the dark side of the "good life".

Ding ding you hit the nail on the head. I'm thinking the same thing. Except I think it will have both sides.. positive and negative.

 

[Mumo X]

Whatever Nas puts out is a bonus now Imo. He cemented that GOAT Status after he recorded Distant Relatives. Im not lookin for Nas to try and relive the 90s glory, he should feature Amy winehouse,Jay Elec,Damian,dead prez maybe common. Definately gon cope it

 

[Knightryder]

Jayz should name his next album Life is Good

i dont know about nas though....that niggaz life been put out on front street,
from kelis raping him,
to him owing uncle sam,
down to def jam not having any respect for him

nigga should name his album "still struggling"

 

[will blax]

i fucks with nas, im looking forward to this

 

[Hip-Hop One]

Now that it has a title maybe we can expect some tracks or snippets...looking forward to it.

Well written. !!!

 

[deathrowzorrow]

Yes, because it happened before...

Nas' 2008 album 'Untitled' was originally meant to be titled 'Nigger'; but he wasn't able to use that title, hence the inspiration of 'The Nigger Tape' (a mixtape that was released around the time the album was released)...

Its because that name was illegal. Who said that Life Is Good is illegal?

Had to have been before Kurupt caught feelings about Nas, DMX, and mad other people fuckin Foxy and then making Calling Out Names and other tracks.
