After a 2nd day of listening, the feeling remains the same. Every Track Nas is goin in on. Never gives weak bars on any of them. I know People gon kill me but I may be the only one who Likes Summer On Smash. This albums Plays smoothly and is an authentic album not a bunch of singles put on a disc. Anyone saying Watch the Throne is better is smoking on Crack. Kanye and Jay-z combined lyrically couldnt come close to comparing to Nas on that album. Imo it's Nas's 4th best cd right behind stillmatic. Real Hip Hop Heads will appreciate this album. But these young cats who think 2chainz is the shit wont have the attention span to comprehend raw lyricism Like Nasir's

This album is smooth as hell especially in the whip. Imma dude who can't listen to rap all day i like to mix it up wit some 70s soul and this album is a perfect marriage of hip hop and soul. This shit is so different especially vibe wise than anything i've heard in ages. Don't even know what to compare it to. I guess there is bo comparison. Nas grows and matures with every Lp. You gotta respect growth my people. Especially on your 10lp. It's unheard of. You can't listen to any track and say this sounds like part 2 of any previous Nas song. Life is good B.

He could've wrapped up the review in the first couple of minutes. All he basically said is that it's a good album, but not dope. He goes on to say that Nas didn't say anything new and that the songs weren't memorable. Everything else he said just seemed like he was going out of his way to contradict his own opinion of the album being good. He could've just said it's a good album, but it's held back from being great because Nas didn't do anything new and there's nothing memorable about it. Then ended by droppin' a rating. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment of the album, but it's like he went out of his way to say the album wasn't good.
IMO, there's a couple of records on this album that are potentially among Nas's best work. In fact there's maybe three to four records on this album with that potential.

Right now, I'm not sure where this album stands in Nas's catalog, but it's easily the best I've heard from Nas since his excellent series of albums in Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, and God's Son.
No Introduction- reminds me of Stillmatic Intro
Queen's Story- Crazy, reminiscent of "Street's Disciple" the title track, but this is better
World's An Addiction- Possibly the best Nas song since "Heaven"
You Wouldn't Understand- Crazy
Back When- another standout
Stay- standout
Cherry Wine- real feel good song
Bye Baby- Another standout on the album
Roses- sick
Where's The Love- this has potential as one of his best songs too
Black Bond- Dope
Trust- another song that is potentially one of his best

It's 24 hours later and I'm still in complete awe of this record. Musically it's the best rap album since "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Also the "WTT" comparisons don't fly cause that wasn't a solo album, it was a compilation LP. I think it's the best rap solo album in awhile. NaS really outdid himself with this record. Though right now I'm settling for a solid 4 MICS, I still better than "Untitled" which I gave 4 MICS also. I definitely better than "Hip Hop Is Dead" and "Street's Disciple". That puts it around the "God's Son" area. I feel overall though solid, "God's Son" had some weaker tracks on it, but the strong tracks are really strong. Overall I think "Life Is Good" is in the top half of NaS's career. I had a feeling it was going to be ILL cause NaS was going in on all his features. Here are my 2 favorite features from the "Life Is Good" Era:

I was just about to come up here and post where I could find this song. Another heat rock for NaS. He just dropped so much fire on this LP. Props on the track, I like it. Drake's team laced NaS with "Bye Baby" and "Trust", both dope songs.
