[BAMBINO]

First joint is

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

No Intro: Cool
Loco-Motive: Heat, sounds like a remixed NY State of Mind
Queens Story: Nas flowin over a fast paced beat
Accidental Murderers: Nice church backdrop
Daughters: Great song
Reach Out: Surprised at the throwback, could play this during the summer I'm kinda tired of the sample tho
World's An Addiction: Didn't hear much, sounds cinematic
Summer on Smash: Doesn't sound that bad honestly
You Wouldn't Understand: Props to Buckwild for updating his sound and getting on the album, I really like this track off first listen
Back When: Cool, gotta hear more
The Don: Good shyt
Stay: Same sample as Woopty Doo but at the sax, I love the saxophone this sounds like a track Nas would kill
Cherry Wine: Sounds good, I like the soft jazz and upbeat vibe RIP Amy
Bye Baby: I'm not that crazy about this joint off first listen, kinda sad because I really like 40's work hope I'm wrong
Nasty: Nice
Black Bond: Nas straight spittin over a movie sample it's ok
Roses: Curious about this one sounds downbeat I like the hook
Where's The Love: Also sounds good need to hear more

Off the snippets Nas went for a lot of different sounds on this album:
Instrumentation (No Intro, Accidental)
Summer Joints (Reach Out, The Don, Nasty, Summer on Smash)
90s Influenced (Loco-Motive)
Current (Daughters, Queens Story, Bye Baby, You Wouldn't Understand)
Cinematic (World's An Addiction, Black Bond)
Jazzy (Back When, Stay, Cherry Wine)
I really like the mix of joints on this album and this looks to be album of the year IMO.
Life is Good, Indeed.

To date myself, I was in my 20's and the only person I knew who was rocking this album in my car.

"Fate or Destiny" was my jam.

that lp was slept-on hard. it dropping in '97 when tons of dope albums came out didn't help but it most definitely got lost in the mix.

"state to state"
"mega live"
"sky's the limit (dug infinite mix"

were my joints off that.

no and dug trying to rhyme and showcasing the syndicate didn't help that lp much, man if he coulda just had dope mc's rapping over those beats instead of him and dug. shoulda been a hi-teknology/soul survivor type of joint but i know no i.d. didn't have nearly enough clout to get guests like that back then.


but back to the topic at hand, this lp sounds pretty ill. it's grown-man hip-hop and not for everyone, but it sounds like Nas has another really good lp in his catalog. shyt needs to leak.

 

[MMM]

ummmmm....no. and there are already 3 wack songs i've heard off of the album. the don, daughters, and accident murderers.

 

[KiD WavE]

Nas might have his next classic since Stillmatic...

I hope so ... could be argued its his first "normal" album since 02

double disc ... HHID....Untitled ....

I remember actually being pissed when I heard Biggy's 'Sky's the Limit' get radio play because of how slept on that album was.

Yeah, lyrically Dug is second rate and NO is average at best, but it still bumped and those tracks you mentioned were right.

There are opinions and there are dumbasses. You sir, fall in the latter category.

 

[FloorGeneral]

I'm not listening to shyt. The only song I've heard off the record is The Don. I have not, and will not listen to anything else until July 17th when the album drops.
