Life Is Good


Taking Life Is Good out pains me but KD2 is TOO STRONG to ignore

Untitled over The Lost Tapes? And I know it's a collaborative effort but I feel really strongly about Distant Relatives as well. I get it though, that era can't be ignored.

I don’t “count” the lost tapes in official rankings

King's Disease 1 Nas got AZ, Mega, Foxy and Dre all back on a track together

King's Disease 2 Nas got EPMD and Lauryn Hill rapping in 2021, as well as a Nas/Em collab.

I agree 4 mics album at the most

So here's I'm at as a Nas fan

Hit-Boy needs to find his niche his lane as a Producer he's good at studying and emulating past hip-hop producers with a modern twist but it's not him, it's time to do you

Hit Boy and Nas riding on what work, okay cool but now as a Producer it's time for both of them to push themselves artistically on the boards and mic, A Producer should come in with something that challenge the emcee

I want to see Nas grow artistically go and do something artistic that's why I love Pharaoh Monch, Mos Def, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye west, 2pac, Cypress Hill when they came with Elephants on Acid. We are grown our Mid 40's we grow, So Grow

This album is a Victory Lap, 5 Mics not to me y'all have to understand a Great Album and a Classic album is not the same

I played this album 3 times now I'm about to give it a headphone run and but Classic Album's have layers that make it a classic, I keep trying to find something to justify it being a classic but as a hip hop head, music lover I can't find or see it, it's a very damn good to great album. But classic No this is a comfortable victory lap album that's great hip hop

What on earth are you talking about

I'd like that and a Verbal Intercourse pt. 2

I bought Lost Tapes officially from Best Buy when it dropped. If the label gives it its on SKU #, why not count it?

 

[Prolific_1011]

It's getting more difficult to rank his albums individually. May need to rank them by tiers now.

TOP 20: EVEN HAPPIER : HITS Daily Double

About the same as the last one. Hopefully the good buzz for this one might get him a few more than the projected


All things considered, he hasnt really done any promo for this one. Even the last one he did interviews on Hot 97/Breakfast Club/Apple Music etc and we havent seen that.

 

[InstantKlassik]

We need an interview or two
