Life is Good
All Star
Guess who Lupe believes will win RAOTY: Lupe Fiasco Believes Nas' Life Is Good Will Win Best Rap Album At Grammy Awards [LISTEN] | Hip-Hop Wired
I never got to hear Nas and Dilla work together.
I've been playing "Trust" all day. Seriously what was Nas thinking not putting this gem on the album? it's dope and at the same time fits the theme of the album
"Another day I put a family in black
Though I be calm and relaxed
Though I know somehow it will come back
Even if Im in the right
Cause still a life is a life
What was it worth...to see you covered in dirt?"
...the beats, the lyrics.....I think this is my fav song on the album...i like the dark vibe that it has.
Reminds me of "Hold Down The Block" and "Star Wars." Really spooky vibe. One of my favorites as well, especially the caterpillar line.
So Summer on Smash was clearlY the most hated song in the album. Would it have served Nas better to have gone without Swizzle and his irritating hook and leaked the track early then made it the iTunes bonus track, replacing it with Trust on the retail? That's how I would have done it.
