The only song that's weak is "Summer on Smash," but Nas has made worse songs than that. And depending on how I feel, I'll listen to it.

What was the reaction like when this dropped? Did everyone think Nas was back?

Lemongrass, cherries, alkaline water
Just copped 2day!!!

Only heard 3 songs off the album before buying. Feels like the 90's again.

My first Nas purchase since Godson. Bought every album except his last three.

After Breaking Bad. Life better be good the way yall hyping it.

It was universally acclaimed. This and GKMC were the final albums to get perfect XXL ratings. CNN also named him the greatest lyricist and The Source rated him the number 2 greatest lyricist after Rakim. It was Nas final album to date to debut at number 1 and earned him 4 Grammy nominations.

No only facts. Every album after godson was a disappointment. 4 straight albums of mediocre shyt. This album was just cool. Nothing special. I knew he was done with this one

Movie shyt the bonus tracks are incredible

that 2nd verse 🔥
Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
Maybe just a typical thug nikka was my rank
'Cept I had a vision above nikkas, what I think
It's crazy how many brothers come from where I come from
Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung
Shots for soldiers on 23 hours lock-up
Younger generation, they want to mimic and mock us
Laughing, separating themselves like they not us, like
"Cops'll look at you like they look at me? That's preposterous"
Ain't it gangsta how your man made it? I'm humble
One gun, one crazy ass nikka, that's Jungle
Now we having babies, cause growing up it was just us
No uncles or cousins to fight with us, we was fukked up
But still it was beautiful, the love is mutual
Even though me and Jung ain't show up to your funeral
I hold your son hand, tell him he the man, we love you
Your pops was king, you have a whole lot to live up to
The G is in your genes, already you tuck
Inherit your dad's swag, it's George Jefferson's strut
Stay flyest, they gon' want to know what in your diet
Don't be surprised if they want to check your shyt and your vomit
Tell them you let it marinate, they swear you made them a promise
No matter what they do, you just stay a man of honor
I'm a street corner nikka, New York Knicks loyalist
Corona sipper, pass it out, might blow it with you
It ain't the Truman show
It's the human show
Ask the F.B.I. agent at his cubicle
Chews on his pencil eraser with intents to erase you
Young brother go and get your paper, I got love
:damn: :wow: :banderas:

Album could've done way better commercially but Nas chose the wrong singles. Cherry Wine and You wouldn't Understand should have been some of the first singles, definitely not The Don. Good album either way but KD3>Life is Good imho.
