Life is Good is the epilogue to Illmatic: in other words, Illmatic part 2

[Izanami]

Only Lost Tapes should be considered the epilogue to Illmatic

LIG is a good album. Its just something that I never have the urge to revisit.
Nas divorce, what he was doing in 95, or what his relationship with his daughter is like are things I don't need or want to hear about several times.
Give me Untitled lyrics with LIG production and I'll buy two copies.

You just made my point. You like Untitled because you can relate to it, on several levels. You don't like Life is Good, at least, in part, because you can't relate to it as much. That's really the dividing line with this album. The topics Nas discusses on this album are from the perspective of a real and true OG. He will be 40 this year and his topics of conversation are different from someone in the 15-30yr old age range. But the topics on Untitled are native to all black males, from little boys all the way up to old men. It's about experiences.
