I feel like Salaam got a lot of hate solely for Zone Out, but his good joints easily outweigh the bad

No Salaam Remi!
Real talk, Salaam Remi has produced some of Nas' best records. nikkas that try to shyt on his production on Nas albums don't know what the fukk they're talking about.
World’s An Addiction sounds like Nas tryna do an impression of a Kanye song
It’s aight but when you had cuts like Trust & Where’s The Love reserved for bonus tracks, it sounds out of place.

Summer on Smash is pure trash lol
If he put a video out for it and released it as a single I can understand but he didn’t so he made no sense being on the album...

That song disturbs the flow of the album as does "The Don" (not a bad song), but the transition into it is off. Removing "The Don" and "Summer On Smash" and replacing them with "Trust", "Where's The Love" or "Roses" makes it flow smoother.
To me, Nasty and the Don should’ve been bonus tracks. They served their purpose being early street singles, ahead of the album. I would’ve put them on as bonus tracks and added Trust, Where is the Love and Roses.
It sounds like a My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy cut featuring Nas.
I’ve heard people accuse One Mic of being melodramatic, but nah that song is classic. “World’s An Addiction” was lyrically insane, but musically that shyt was melodramatic af

As far as I'm concerned, "Nasty", "The Black Bond", "Roses" and "Where's the Love" ARE on the album. All this talk about replacing "Summer on Smash" with one or these "bonus tracks" makes no sense to me. I have only heard the 18-track deluxe version of Life is Good. When the album was about to drop they asked Nas how many songs are on the LP and he said "18 tracks". When asked which song fans should be excited about, he said "The Black Bond". He obviously considers the deluxe version to be the actual album.

It doesn't sound like that to me. Yeah, it has an orchestral sound, but so did other Salaam songs on LIG. It doesn't sound over produced.
I agree. All I'm saying is in terms of the flow of the album, "Summer On Smash" and "The Don" don't flow as well as the bonus songs would've. More so an observation than it is a complaint.
With or without those tracks, LIG was a great album. It was some grown up shyt. We all know it inspired Jay Z to finally make a grown man album. Nas still taking his son to school. Lol.
Anyone think The Lost Tapes 2 tracks will leak? I don’t.

The only track I said to replace Summer On Smash with is Trust because that is literally ONLY on the digital ITunes/Apple Music version of the album. I have the Deluxe physical and the ITunes version. Purchased both.
I copped it the firsr day as well. Same for Jesus Piece.
Even when WTT delayed the deluxe edition I bought it after buying the original.
I will always opt for a deluxe edition over a standard edition as so long the bonus material is songs from the artist.
