Albums Nas & DJ Premier - Light-Years (December 12th)

[DrexlersFade]

Is it finally happening time for Nas to cement himself as The GOAT

 

[Ziggiy]

Word that was easily the weakest track they’ve ever put out

I like Define My Name better than Beat Breaks.

Matter of fact this would be a good moment to rank the Nas/Premier collabs.



1). Nas is Like
2). I Gave You Power
3). Memory Lane
4). NY State of Mind Part 2
5). 2nd Childhood
6). NY State of Mind
7). Represent
8). Regeneration
9). Classic (Better Than I Ever Been) remix
10).Define My Name
11). Come Get Me
12). Beat Breaks

 

[Bolzmark]

Is it Friday yet brehs?? I need this album

 

[Izanami]

my hype for this was on some “i’ll listen when it drops but my expectations are low” type shyt

seeing that AZ the only feat… now i’m

reading that NYSOM 3 on this… has me

i’m expecting a top 5 esco album…
at the very least on the tier of God’s Son/I Am/Magic

Same I’ve been chillin until this track list came out. I might have to call out of work this Friday

 

[ArchStanton]

I'm guessing "My Story Your Story" was originally AZ's track. Either that, or Nas has two appearances on Doe or Die III.

I doubt it, I don't think AZ has even worked with Premier before.

I can’t do it. I tried to find some ways to change your list, but all i could say is most of these are top songs in my life. Can’t even rank them.

The Goat has been the Goat for a long time

 

[ThirdAct]

I doubt it, I don't think AZ has even worked with Premier before.

He has and both tracks are bangers

 

[Awesome Wells]

So it's basically your AOTY?

Just based on the last listen, I would say it's definitely one of my favorites this year.

Easily. But I don’t even have it in my possession, so it's weird to rank now. HAHA! But it's up there.

3:55

Wonder what Pause Tapes will sound like based on this

Will it be different beats with different samples with Preemo cutting to transition to each beat?

[T.H.E.GOD]

Tracks that got my curiosity on 1,000..

so a pause tape is when you make homemade recordings by hitting the pause and unpause button

qtip made the beat to one love using a pause tape


in regards to the album, what i heard was about 12 mins of nas and premier

i didnt see a tracklist or song length, i herd it out speakers

what i herd was the best nas album of all time, it was on par with illmatic

he was rapping at a highly skilled level, higher than magic and KD. I honestly think he used that run to perfect this album.

some verses reminded me of some kool g rap shyt, some rakim allah shyt, some melle melle

he was in the pocket perfectly and multiple times it felt like the beats were switching every fukking min

in the 12 mins i felt like i herd 30 primo tracks

he rapped in couplets, in 4 bar spurts, to actual scratches

primos beats were moment of truth level

it was literally the best shyt i ever heard

i was already a nas fan, this shyt gave me PTSD

*edit*

i would like to take this time to show love to anybody on this board i ever quoted and replied to

even if i dont fuk w u its still all love, the culture is alive cuz of us

You forgot one



I personally got "Come get me" in my top 5 of Nas/Primo collabs. He was also going at Jay on that one sending subliminals.
