Make em clap to this, make em clap to this

Nice to see You Wouldnt Undestand getting respect. I was saying earlier that when the dust settles it and Bye Baby will be considered > QUeens Story and the other tracks

They're my fav tracks right now with stay. I said it 2 weeks ago at the listening session that bye baby would be what I consider the real gem of this album, the one song that 100% recaps the life is good meaning.

Wow HHID that was an amazing review I couldn't have said it better, how did u find it?

Saw it on KTT. Wanted to do one myself but dude here said it better than I could..

Got myself a tee shirt with this pic on it

Haha same here. Especially the beginning of it. Sometimes when I blast it way too loud in the headphones, at certain parts shyt even scares me
Really happy that people are feelin this song, I remember at the listening session when I heard it first, I felt like wtf this is way too complicated for the average listener, shyt will go over people's heads...Salaam killed it in so many ways on that beat its hard to describe...I wonder how it was produced, did he have a live orchestra play it for him in the booth. I think I saw in the credits many of his songs on LIG contain samples of other songs by him...wonder what that is all about

 

[Real Talk of NY]

With so many standout tracks, im saying You Woun't Understand is the best track. That song is for everyone, young and old, hood and yuppie. I know AZ mad he aint on this track.

He certainly did kill it. I'm not really old enough for all the old school stuff although I am a fan of artists from that era, the beat and track as a whole make me feel that this is how hip-hop (for the most part) should be done. The production especially.

That last verse on World's An Addiction aswell, jesus wept. Stands out everytime. Most rappers would struggle to make an album as good as that verse.

When those three quick violin strokes kick in a little bit after the beat drop shyt hype me up EVERYTIME breh

georgia mae: Album Review: Nas, Life Is Good

...no matter how great his subsequent eight albums were, the reaction remained the same: "It's not better than Illmatic."

what i said.

it's 5 out of 5 stars to me too pretty much

solid review

 

[AkaDemiK]

Best beat on the album?

I say Daughters

btw. One of my closest friends had a daughter a few days ago. I just posted the daughters video on his facebook, I doubt he has heard it. I expect that nikka to feel it in his soul.

Back When
Red Cherry Wine
Bye Baby

Are my personal favorites. This album is a breathe of fresh between the big 3. I would put StillMatic or even untitled before this. Nas is still the king

 

[Asdfhhklpiyrewss]

my favorites so far in order (excluded Trust, haven't listened enough)


Bye Baby
Daughters
Stay
Queens Story
Cherry Wine
Roses
World's An Addiction
No Introduction
Loco Motive
Back When
The Black Bond
Where's The Love
The Don
Nasty
Summer on Smash
Reach Out
Accident Murderers
You Wouldn't Understand

word when You Wouldn't Understand comes on it takes me back to when How Ya Living dropped. that joint is fire, i cant pick a best track though too much heat.

 

[Jone2three45]

It was soulful how Amy ended the song on cherry red wine, I wanted to
We need to go back to that brehs, the roots of are souls.
