Nas - Life_is_Good-2012

[Big Mel]

This album is most definetly fresh. A few joints I could do without but also some of the best Nas songs since Stillmatic.

 

[Big Mel]

I think I need to book a flight to NY. Like right now. This album is taking me back there.

The fukking first song was almost enough to make me shut off the album. Ol sprinkly ass piano fest. But I expect to like most of this album. Like I did he last one. And the one before that. And the one before that.

1st song had me on REWIND!!

You're trying way too hard chump.

Lol @ Big Mel. Go listen to Melle Mel or some basic rapping ass nikka, we eating over here

Melle Mel ain't basic...his cadence is old school so naive niccas like U speak on shyt U don't really know about!!

 

[Rakim Allah]

Here's the problem:

I am

Nastradamus

Streets disciple

Hip hop is dead

Distant relatives

Untitled


None of those help his argument for most consistent even if they're not all wack.

Those albums just make him better than Jay Z...just not Rakim Allah!!

Black Bond would've made a better intro. I like the current one, but I think I'm going to ditch it based on how good Black Bond is.

Agreed. The first song and the Anthony Hamilton joints suck IMO.


Not crazy about accidental murders either.

 

[prophecypro]

Hamilton's joint is cool for what it is.

Thankfully I think there's enough good tracks to outweigh the underwhelming ones


And again IMO the underwhelming aren't that bad on their own, just dont need to totally be there. I only think there's like 3 of those here.

 

[Big Mel]

Only the Hamilton song makes me wanna punch the speakers. All in all I'm thoroughly impressed...mostly by his rapping too. That's the best thing about this album. Yeah the beats are better but the fukkin raps are back too. And his voice was recorded and engineered right so he sounds youthful.

I thought you'd hate You Wouldn't Understand

 

[Big Mel]

That's one of the best songs. People shouldn't assume they know my tastes. They don't.
