Ppl need to stop acting like industry nikkas ain't the biggest dikk riders known to this culture, ...theyre just tryna get ahead. nikkas said J.cole‘s shyt was on illmatic, rd level
nikkas said ‘welcome to the jungle‘ was one of swizz best works.
nikkas said ‘welcome to the jungle‘ was one of swizz best works.
lol I remember all those, none of them even remotely true, lol at 'Welcome To The Jungle' garbage, repetitive beat. Remember when Dame Dash said Jim Jones 'Pray IV Reign' was a classic in the vein of 'Reasonable Doubt'

am i the only one who doesn't want a nas/ross record? I only like Nas on his shyt to hear him over those beats, Ross is cool but i don't want hear him spitting duck tales alongside the Don.
Biz did you go to the listening and if so your thoughts. And Ross and NAs have made good music so what the point of not wanting them to do another one. Only thing I dont wan is Swizzy yelling on the track
Nas Gets Nostalgic at Life is Good Album Listening Party
Published on June 15th, 2012 by Georgette.
Nas gave fans a sneak peek into his 10th studio album titled Life is Good, at the New Museum in New York City. Truly a celebration, the intimate space was plastered with memorabilia of The Don himself, with photos of his current singles as well as a blast from his musical career past. A slew of hits from Nas catalog welcomed guests as they anxiously waited the listening session of the milestone album for an artist who has changed lives, dealt with personal trials and tribulations publicly, yet still coming out on top looking better than ever. Guest appearances included his brother Jungle, DJ Khaled, Erick Sermon, and Swizz Beatz.
Joie Manda, the new president of Def Jam Music Group, introduced Nas who then kicked it off Queensbridge style. They started off with the intro track, which carried an uptempo beat yet very personal lyrics. Other tracks included Accidental Murderer, which the DJ played back several times and other songs whose track titles werent mentioned as they were played. He performed his latest track Daughters and beaming like the proud father he was, shouted out other fathers for Fathers Day as well as his daughters birthday. He turned it up again, bringing Swizz Beatz to the stage to introduce the first track they worked on called Summer on Smash. They took it a step further and performed another Swizz track thats sure to be a radio smash. Before Nas verse could drop, the crowd went crazy as they kept screaming back the hook for this untitled track. The DJ ran it back several times. Nas and Swizz even toyed around with the idea of dropping it today.
Nas brought his musical career back full circle on this album, solidifying his longevity and well deserved success despite the controversies over the years. While still remaining true to his lyricism, a diversity of tracks can be heard on this album, including those who still want the Illmatic Nas coupled with those who want to hear something new. Feeling his energy from across the room, he truly emulated his album title.
Rumored to be his last album with Def Jam, his 10th studio LP is a celebration for hip hop as well as himself. Life is Good hits stores July 17th.

Only thing that had anything to do with Nas. All that other shyt is irrelevant and out of Nas's control.
This could be true. At this point what motivation do they have to dikkride Nas or gas his shyt up. Son has been in the game 20 years. At this point in his career and their career, what do they have to gain from misrepresenting what their ears heard at last night's listening session?
I agree that this is a problem. People have a tendency to exaggerate and overblow shyt. Why? I have no idea. It seems like they have to compare hip-hop today to hip-hop of yesterday in order to give some kind of legitimacy to what they're hearing today. Always potentially problematic when you start making those kind of comparisons. The things is that we'll eventually get to hear the shyt and make our own determinations of whether the shyt is hot or not.
This. It's one thing to accept another man's word, but if you've been listening to the singles Nas has released and the features he's given other artists, I don't know how you can't be excited---even if just guardedly so---considering we're all Nas fans. At this point, I'm done trying to executive produce Nas's records. I just try to appreciate and enjoy his artistic creativity. Dude is a living legend.

Isn't it weird that Nas dropped 3 videos already off "life is good" before its release? shyt, the double platinum plus "I am" had only 2 videos and the second video got banned a couple of days after its premeir.

Was "Nasty" played last night? Or is Nas going to leave it off the album since it dropped nearly a year ago?
