LIG v AG

Life is Good vs American Gangster

Which album reigns supreme over the other?

what a comparison!

 

[up in here]

Why you doing this breh?

 

[The Piff Gawd]

easily American Gangster

Life is Good is a textbook example of a forced classic

 

[the rhyme king]

come on man life is good hova ain't been hot since 05

Yo, yo, I live it and I speak it
My religion is reefer
Big money in most, an uninhibited freak to sleep with
My visions are realistic, nothing’s figurative
I can wish it into existence, God want this nikka to live
Blunt big as a dread, I get high and forget who bled
Who we stomp kicked in the head and who we left for dead
Who are you niggas? Why argue nikkas?
The truth is the truth, I really put my scars on nikkas
They wait a lifetime, they tell they hoes, “Nas did this”
Pointin’ to they scars like, “Right here, baby, really Nas did this”
Like a badge of honor, not braggin’ I’m just honest
War stories we tell them, nothin’s realer than karma
Sip prohibition liquor, prohibition whiskey
Rap Jack Demsey, Matt Black Bentley, pimply
Shatterin’ your silence, pass around the chalice
Due to my Indian ancestry at the weed dispensery
Official kings and gents is who I mix and mingle with
fukk your ice, I rock rubies, amethyst
I fukk your wife cause she a groupie, scandalous
This for my bad hood bytches, ghetto glamorous

nas still ill with rhyme schemes

Both are two of Jay's and Nas' great recent albums.

Let's have it!

 

[The Ruler 09]

To me it's Life Is Good.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I just feel the content more, and the lyrical tracks I thought he ripped too.

 

[Mandizi]

Life is Good. Close tho.

 

[Shammago]

Good replies yall. Cats is scared to respond because they don't want to be ridiculed. You can't diss any of these albums thus u are forced to use your brain and make a hip hop decision

 

[PAGANSKINS]

Life is Good. American Gangster is real underrated tho

 

[RajWatts]

DP3 was originally intended for AG right?

if he would've put that on instead of Blue Magic, AG would be 5 mics

 

[Shammago]

This is a tuff choice

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Say Hello, No Hook & Ignorant shyt alone shyts on LIG

Nas beats SUCKED why won't nikkas admit this

truthfully Untitled would've been a better comparison, even though he talked about being a roach & fried chicken those beats were wayyy better

really?

it's a tough choice but your track choice is

why not pray, the title track, or roc boys for example.

Life Is Good is nothing short of an amazing album. not saying classic cuz that gets tossed around a lot but the first 3 tracks effing MURDER the cuts you mentioned, breh.

and nas beats were an acquired taste on LIG, i will admit. but they fit very well and if you wanna be a shyne ass "beats were garbage" nikka then make like redman and beedat.

i still can't decide tho, tbh.





























cherry wine puts it a mL ahead for me, tho. hate me now.

ive come to really like the great moments of ag, but if you played it back to back w/ volume three you couldn't distinguish which came out in the early 2000s and which was a couple years ago. that's good and bad; the good being he recreated a character he once mastered...and if youre not a stan, the bad being, he's still a drug dealing rapper telling the same story.

then life is good, the progression of an artist comfortable with opening up and evolving.
