[koyaanisqatsi]

what more do you want? a 38 year old Nasir Jones sounded like his was 22 all over again. Its amazing what he did on this album.

I listened to the first song and thought "This nikka Nas is on some other shyt with this one".

The I listened to Loco-motive and thought "Nas got at a lot of critics with that 'for my trapped in the 90's nikkas'" line.

Then by the time I got to the last track I realized that he wasn't talking about that specific track but saying the album itself is "for my trapped in the 90's nikkas". Any of y'all nikkas that came up on late 80's or 90's hip hop like me truly understood the title of the album midway through. This album took me back to the old days...and everyone always reminisces on the old days being better than they were. Hence "Life is Good". I honestly consider this album a concept album. Granted, if one wants to be a harsh they can just say that Nas is just proving his inability to evolve to the new sounds of today. But I honestly think he was going for a 90's sound for this album, minus the intro and bonus tracks. shyt, even Summer on Smash sounds like it came right out of '98. The Amy Winehouse hook might be the only part of the alum besides what I stated that didn't sound straight 90ish. I'm not one of those overreacting dudes, but this might be his third best album. The flow was perfect throughout. Ross' feature was pretty useless, but that track was heat regardless. I've always had Jay above Nasir, but I think Nas just jumped to GOAT off this one. The fun thing is we get Jay's album next year most likely. We're gonna be witnessing history for the next few years, brehs.

Oh, Nas stans, y'all will look ridiculous getting aggie at anybody that criticizes Nas for spitting old shyt when he should be past this subject matter. Y'all used the same argument against Jigga on American Gangster.

georgia mae: Album Review: Nas, Life Is Good

"Early reviews of Life Is Good criticized the album for being "stuck in the past and being obsessed with the life he once had." They're missing the point. The album isn't a rehash, it's a road map, showing how far Nas, and the culture he grew up with, has matured and evolved. This album isn't the usual collection of random tracks. It's Nas' story and, most importantly, the story of the art form we all love."

Can't stop listening to this. Like literally have finals in like 7 hours here in Paris and i put down all my work to just listen to this.

On the topic of Swizz Beatz, Summer on Smash is not a horrible song, but it's still the standout weaklink of the album. How does this nikka always keep managing to sneak onto a classic and give a legend at least one L?

He already tainted Alicia Keys. Please keep him away from the classics.

 

[Shammago]

Damn, this excitment reminds me of when Common's BE album came out.

yo brother, i was thinking the exact same thing. on some songs nas sounds young as fukk. go listen to SD, HHID, untitled......on some of those tracks he sounds 50 years old with no energy. what gotten into this nikka

Do you have that in mp3 format?

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I'm gonna buy, I haven't been this excited to hear an album since I can remember. Haven't bought an albums since maybe early 2011.

I'm ecstatic to hear good reviews but im gonna take the album in as a cohesive body of work and not listen at all till tues.
