Honestly he definitely did. He hasn't had a year of absolute unarguable dominance since 96. He had to "share" 01 with Jigga and 02 with Em (though he had better albums than both of them) Hip Hop has been buzzing about him since he dropped Nasty LAST year and went on his incredible spree of murdering guest tracks. Then he delivered MIGHTILY With Life Is Good and I honestly can't find ANYBODY who doesn't like this album. I bump the album at work all the time and people love Accident Murderer, The Don, Stay, and Cherry Wine. This album truly has something for everyone who enjoys Hip Hop. We really have to commend this man for putting so much of his heart into his art after 20 YEARS of doing it. I mean really what other vet on a mainstream level is doing it with this much focus, passion, and grandeur? Snoop Dogg is busy changing his name and coaching little league football games, Jay-Z is pretty much fully dedicated to his entrepreneurship and rapping as a side hustle, Dr. Dre will NEVER put out another full length album (mark my words), Prodigy is trash (HNIC 3 wasbushes status) Biggie is dead, Pac is dead, Lauryn Hill has been living off one album for the past 15 years.... Who ELSE from his era is representing the essence of Hip Hop besides Nas? This album should be on EVERYONE'S best of year end list. It's just THAT damn good...
