Life Is Good is a classic. I'll debate that with ANYONE at ANYTIME...
Peep what I already wrote about it
Music
Emotion is the greatest asset that an artist can posses. For someone as lyrically gifted as Nasir Bin Olu Dara, there can be 0 question of his greatness. Platinum success? He’s had seven straight. The respect of peers? He’s been called one of the greatest from everyone starting with Rakim and ending with Drake. The respect of Media? CNN recently crowned him the greatest lyricist of ALL TIME. Classic albums? Do we REALLY need another dissertation on the impact of Illmatic, It Was Written, or Stillmatic? I think not.
So what continues to drive this man? What keeps him at the top of the genre nearly TWENTY ONE YEARS after he debuted as a teenager on Main Source’s Live At The Barbecue? Just what inspires the MC who has inspired a generation?
Emotion. Imagination. Appreciation
These three words are the backbone of Nas’s tenth studio album. These three words and what they defined are wielded by Hip Hop’s foremost Poet Laureate into a breathtaking journey into the mind of a brilliant soul. Nothing is held back as with brutal honesty he speaks on his divorce, emotionally lamenting the destruction of his marriage. Fiercely speaking on his origins and how his environment shaped his will. Orating with awe-inspiring imagination the mind set of young black men who murder for reputation. Appreciatively culminating every single experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. Nas is everything and nothing on this album. He is the street poet, the thug, the dedicated yet absentee father, loving yet unfaithful husband. The man. The human. The perfect MC and the flawed individual. Salaam Remi and No ID create a sonic canvas for Nas to paint lyrical anecdotes of love, loss, heartbreak and triumph. The victory of this album is the maturity and unflinching honesty conveyed in every single song, There is absolutely nothing that Nas has to prove as a rapper, and yet he continues to set the bar as high as it possibly can be set. A rapper who refuses to conform to modern trends, approaching 40 years old, releasing no popular crossover singles, speaking about the challenges of raising a daughter, dealing with divorce, and feeling out of place in today’s current rap industry. And yet it absolutely works! It succeeds because of its EMOTION. Because of its IMAGINATION. Because of its APPRECIATION for the culture. Because its honest, because its pure, and because it IS Hip Hop. Nas has paved a path that was once thought impossible to travel, that of a rapper entering middle age, speaking on adult situations and themes, on a mainstream level, and SUCCEEDING. In 1994 he took rap to heights thought unimaginable. In 2012 he does it once again. For Nas Life Is Good. For Hip Hop his album is perfect.

Lets put it like this......one of them will win another Grammy to add to their Grammy collection, the other will not
We know Hov already cut that check for the rigged Grammy.
Life is Good is a masterpiece and if it weren't for 2-3 songs..It would been flawless.
People are still playing Life If Good regularly? Like honestly? I played it for about two weeks then went back to bumping Illmatic and It Was Written.
whos fault is it that Nas cant cut them same type of checks tho? If he didnt knock up ratchet broads and have to pay that child support he could probably do the same. meanwhile Hov guarenteed to cop another one this year
lemme show you how to do this son
THIS.
That's the gawd only character flaw..sucka for love ass niqqa
at least he got a son out of it 
Legit 320? Sure it's not just converted up? I just got a VBR version that I'm pretty sure is just converted.

Having just listened to the new Jay
LIG>>>MCHG tbh
But it doesnt matter, people will pick sides and not just stans. Both make music in different ways that different types of listeners will appreciate or not though
