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

[Alexander Wiggin]

nikka, this site is Nas stan central. I guarantee that it'll be labeled a classic after 2 minutes of the first track

The truth will probably somewhere in the middle of open stannery and hate.

Magic 2 and Nasir weren't. You can't fake the enthusiasm

 

[Supa]

why would anyone care what someone rates an album they listen to? I honestly can't recall ever being on pitchfork's site. Maybe I have, I just don't remember it.

Have you not been in a Nas album thread? That's what happens everytime.

The older I get the more I’m grateful that Nas is still at a level and produce work where his album releases are still like an event to me, remember being on here when Life Is Good dropped at a different difficult time in my life, 13 years later and every album dropped is still a big event, we’re still here to critique, listen and enjoy, that’s a blessing.

He could have retired years ago but he does it for the love of the art

that's crazy. I don't even read reviews anymore. If I like an album or if I don't like it, it's just my opinion.

Isnt it Friday already in Japan?

Hai!"

 

[Lonj]

So it's dropping at midnight tonight right?

Some of ya'll gotta start using the ignore feature. I swear I see the same good posters annoyed and quote-replying back to the same names over and over who are posting probably stupid shyt that you don't have to read. If you see a dumb ass post by someone or a rage bait post, and they have negative rep, just throw 'em on the ignore list and they'll forever be muted. You gotta work real hard at being dumb or just be a troll in order to get negative rep points on the coli.

That's right

I'm trippin. after hearing the stuff he just did for de la, why would people be so skeptical of preme???

There were a lot of mixed reactions to his 2 projects this year with Ransom and Roc Marciano.

I thought the beats on both were largely dope, with only a couple of misses. But I saw a lot of people on here that felt disappointed by both projects. I liked 3/4 of the De La beats as well.

What's everyone's ritual gonna be for the first listen? I might have to jump in the whip at midnight and ride out to it lol

Ive been rocking the entire discography all day.

Gonna put the kids to bed early, pour my bourbon, and put the headphones on the office and vibe out.

yall gotta learn to take it all in and let it breathe for a few days. There is such thing as songs GROWING on you, that was the beauty of past classics. You let the whole thing marinate for a month or so

One of the worst things about modern times is that this is legit hard to do, even if you want to do it. The way everyone has everything on their phone, and everything is pulling for your attention span, and you don't have to have a physical piece of media anymore...actually sitting with any kind of music is difficult. Even my favorite stuff over the past 5 years I've never sat with to the same degree I did things when I actually had to go buy them, hang onto them, etc.

Every app and every part of life these days feels like it's trying to snatch you away from sitting with anything for more than a minute or two. I actively work on making my attention span less bad, and I try reading and different things to help, but my attention span is way worse than 10 years ago. If I'm not driving in the car, I have to be very mindful to not get distracted when doing anything like music listening, watching movies or shows, etc.

I get where you're coming from, though. And I don't disagree. But it's hard sometimes.

release date today, where is the promo? where is an interview. come on Nas

He barely did any promo for the Hit-Boy albums either. Pretty sure he announced at least 2 of those a couple days ahead of time on IG and nothing else. The big Legends has It campaign by Mass Appeal from the summer to now has essentially been the rollout for this. It was always known to be the big drop at the end of it.

My favorite feature on here now.

I don’t see any of the idiots anymore. And when new ones pop up, they get clapped up real quick too.
