lol at the source needing other people opinions whether its classic or not. i dont remember them asking if Lil Kim deserved 5 mics.

This the new Source under different management, NOT The Source that allowed Kim to suck Benzino's dikk to 5 Mics...

And if they need the people's opinion then damnit we NEED to give it to them and let them know that this album is a modern day masterpiece and an important statement for Hip Hop

Its still funny that "The Source" needs input. They're so lost they dont even understand the meaning of their name.

Sitting in the comfort of my abode, listening to my Life Is Good cd I purchased yesterdat at J&R Music World, on my Bose stereo system is :ahh::wow::mindblown::russ::to::deadrose:

Loco-Motive bassline and the humming/reverb in the background is so epic. :dead:

They angled themselves to get hip-hop fans to get on a social networking site and tweet the shyt out of their brand.

Looks like they know what they're doin to me...their review is already written, they are just :eat: off this free pub so everyone can run and cop the new issue.

lol@The Source begging for bribes

If you can fukking give Bun B and Lil Kim 5 mics, you can give Nasir the triple crown.

Make it Happen! I dont even think its a 5 mic album (Solid, solid strong 4 mics for me) but do it, fukk it.

Just finished listening to the Life Is Good deluxe CD version.

Loco-Motive, Back When, Stay, Roses...the entire album is sonical bliss to the ears. The engineer did a superb job capturing Nas crisp 90s voice. That distinct edge in his voice was lacking. Is it me or does Where's The Love sound like a No ID remixed Hate Me Now. :wow:

I can't get the Loco-Motive bassline and reverb effect out of my head :ohlawd::mindblown:

Initially I thought the sequencing was off but after several listens its almost perfect IMO. Never gets to high or low just flows perfectly... I do think daughters needed some kind of skit or interlude though.. Album is no less than a 4.5 but compared to the trash out lately its easily a 5 mic album. lyricism is just epic and Nas once again outshines every beat on the album...

I'll give it a 4-4.5 so far (had a few listens so far).

Dope album but it's not hitting me like Illmatic/Stillmatic/Lost Tapes.

Just heard the album last night for the first time, off first listen it's a damn good album, flirting with 4.5 mics.

The best thing I like about it is Nas's delivery. He sounds almost as energetic as he did during Illmatic(not that there's anything wrong with his monotone flow). Remi and No I.D. laced him well, very well with the production. At the age of 38, Nas is still on point lyrically. I'm glad I finally heard this.

RT @HHID: @TheSource if u rate it 5 mics u make a statement for real hiphop, content, lyricism. Force other MCs to step their game up!

Lame. Taints whatever rating they give it, especially if it ends up being 5 mics. :pacspit: at these attention whores.

Doubt you will find the shirt. Maybe ebay?

I was lucky to get the last one. Dude in the front had it with him cause it was open a bit.
