GOT DAMN this Album is ridiculous.
It's all I've been listening to the past few days.
One of the GAWD emcee's has blessed us brethren.

Black Bond ?
Accident Murderer ?
Locomotive ?
Roses ?
The Don ?
Daughters ?

I literally can't choose just one "Banger".
18 tracks of straight heat :wow:
This is some :what: sh1t but then again I'm not surprised.

The Damian marley album, the ross features, wayne feature etc.
Dude has been biding his time to drop the fvcking spirit bomb on doubters.

Like you literally can't knock dude for sh1t on this album .
Concepts ?
Lyricism ?
Maturity ?
Gangsta ?
Conscious ?
Production ? *All Heat even Salaam*

He does "Nas" in all the incarnations we know of and each side is done
masterfully.

Definitely agree with that part as nearly every song sounds like it could be from a different Nas album:

1. No Introduction: HHID
2. Locomotive: Illmatic
3. Queens Story: I AM
4. Accident Murderer: HHID
5. Daughters: God's Son
6. Reach Out: It was written
7. World's an addiction: I AM
8. Summer on Smash: Nastradamus :manny:
9. You wouldn't understand: It was written
10. Back when: Illmatic
11. The Don: God's Son
12. Stay: Stillmatic
13. Cherry Wine: Street's Disciple
14. Bye Baby: God's Son
15. Nasty: Illmatic
16. Black Bond: HHID
17. Roses: Street's Disciple
18. Where's the love: Stillmatic
19. Trust: I AM

Notice there is nothing on this album that would fit on untitled (which was a concept album that pretty much stuck to the theme)

The result of Nas turning his recent pain into progression and piecing it all together positively is Life Is Good, a project that’s almost destined to be a contender for album of the year. For those needing a definite answer, you could say that Nas is back, but for those who are in the know, it’s more accurate to say that Nas never truly left; he’s been here the whole time. Most were just too busy watching thrones to notice.

No diss


wow@AHH


told yall we shouldnt even bother reading those non hiphop sites reviews, they dont understand it...but hiphop sites... they can only love it

:whoo:

English reviews seem good from the few I've seen. Wont sell well here but it's good to see the reviews. I don't think anyone can knock this album.

about 16 of those comparisons are way off.

Funny because I'd say about 5 of them are spot on.

Trust (Nas circa 1999) Loco-motive (Early 90's) Reach out (95,96) Nasty (early 90's) You wouldn't understand (mid 90's)

So while some may seem like reaches, you saying "way off" is a reach in itself.

The comparisons were made based on not only the mood of the sonic structure of the album, but by the content of the song. Hence a song like "Daughters" would be on a personal album like "God Son" a song about wanting the perfect woman "Cherry Wine" is similar to "Makings of a perfect b!tch" from Street's disciple.
