Some of these dudes overhyping Life is Good imo. The album will do well commercially I think but by Nas standards its an average album. There's no instant classic type tracks that he usually have, but it will be a good comeback album and he'll get radio play.

 

[Animal House]

Waaay too early to get a general consensus. I just listened to untitled agian and that shyt is still my shyt... thats just me tho

Not as good as Stillmatic. I think it's solid; up there with Untitled and God's Son.

Swap Untitled and God's Son around and this is it.

I think Life is Good is a step below Untitled and god's son reason being the album lacked conceptual tracks where Nas excells at. Life is Good will do well on the chart but as far as ranking in his discography its a step above SD. Where is the creativity where Nas usually shines? I mean the album has some bright spots but nothing major that stands out. No Rewind type tracks. But I can't complain its better than 99>>>>>> of whats out its just average for Nas standards.

Swap Untitled and God's Son around and this is it.

You could because god's son was really good as well as untitled. I picked Untitled over it because its produced better and flows better as far as sequence.
