Good album, but it stalls in places.

I can't listen to that Hamilton or Mary J joint. They corny to me. The less said about that Swizz garbage the better

I didn't like the track at all initially, but I've had the album on rotation in the whip and now I don't mind it at all.

Life Is Good is damn near perfect to me.

"daughters" is what i would cut, maybe it's just me, maybe cuz i don't have kids but i just do not feel the song, it's kinda like when he put out "i can", those type songs from him feel kinda outta place, i get what he's doin, dressing up deep lyrics with a radio friendly beat, but it usually turns out doo to me

Oddly enough, I have kids and daughters is one of best songs on the album.

This is the best album of the year and glad I didn't listen to leaked songs before the release day. Feel much better when I cop this album and was like :ahh:

I knew after hearing this album a lot of cats wouldn't be able to relate. If it don't have a bass thumping beat and a hot hook, most people won't fukk with it too tough. Let's face it, Nas ain't everyones cup of tea. Dats y some peeps say GFID is better, cause Ross got them banging beats and addictive hooks. But 10 years from now LIG will still get played, while a lot of shyt that's hot today won't stand the test of time.

yeah im still rocking with it, and Reach Out is the only bump in the road for me, and its not even that i dont like it cause when nas comes in he rips it, it just starts out a little slow for me. the beat builds up nicely though and by the middle of the track its in full swing and mary did her thing too, im just not big on the way it starts off cause it takes a minute to pick up.

SOS aint that bad to me, its just a simple track that bumps. now if the whole album was like that i might have an issue with it but i dont mind it being on there at all.

worlds an addiction could have had some snares to give it more of a hip-hop feel but i dont mind that they didn't do that, cause as it is it really draws me in as it is. nas killed it, anthony hamilton killed it. whoever did the beat killed it. shyt's dope to me.

How is it a reach though? Look at that way they all cozy with each other. And Nas got his hand up like damn ion want this pic to get back to the States. Is it too far fetched for a rapper and a singer to make a track or two and fall for each other? Wasn't Nas like the first artist with a song dedicated to her and everything.

I thought Nas prefers his women thick?

Shes kinda skinny, she has a pretty face but she probably looked :huhldup: naked though, with bones showing though her skin and all that stuff though.


I kinda hope they did do the deed though, that would be romantic, hood nikka rapper falls for a attractive soulful singer from another country.

That would almost be as cool as Pac smashing Madonna.

Bless the dead, but in what alternate reality was Winehouse ever considered "attractive"?

:snoop: I'm honestly starting to think Nas does this shyt just to troll his fans. like "oh, ya'll nyggas want me to drop another classic huh? :shaq: ya'll want the album to be flawless huh? :shaq: well let me drop this wack shyt in there just to fuck wit ya'll a little bit :umad: "
