Albums Nas & DJ Premier - Light-Years (Discussion Thread)

[JoelB]

I can only see him go on Joe and Jada

Thats the perfect platform for Nas to go on

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

I've always loved this song and the K.L. (RIP) sample primo cuts up, but this was a remix that came out almost 5 yrs after the original version. Nas didn't write to this beat. Freddie Foxxx did the original track if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah I don't like the other (OG) beat or song

 

[Ellen Degeneres]

Judging a 10 second snippet, where apparently the real beat didn't even drop in yet

Premier has been doing this thing where the beat never drops. Imagine Nas Is Like but it's just the opening the whole way through . It's a valid concern.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Lol. Sometimes Nas fans are insufferable.

That's why they didn't drop anything.

I think that imma listen to the album in full to form my own opinion beforehand and then coming back in this thread. I don't want some of you ruining my session

Same. I'm staying away from this place until I hear the album as intended. People are jumping out the window analyzing a 15-second clip that apparently didn't even kick in yet.

A lot of us wonder why Nas and Premier took so much time to come out with an album. Because of this. This is why.

It’s it’s at the level of Pete and common that’s a huge win


But it’s gonna be nitpicked to death

This sounds that bass is butter.

 

[Barney Rubble]

I understand using the effect to make it literally sound underground, but I hope it's not on for the whole track.

I mean yea, Define My Name came out in April of 2024 for the Illmatic anniversary. So they've been working on this for like a good year and a half, taking their time.

I doubt it will disappoint, unless cats want a whole album's worth of songs like Represent or I Gave You Power.

I'd love that but my expectations are in check (somewhat)

 

[Icewatermetallik]

This sounds grimey asf. Love it. I got the faces on when listening

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Can’t wait to hear the full track

 

[HNIC973]

straight up from Prhyme 1 feeling which I'm okay with

yall really was expecting full BOOM BAP beats for the whole album? for what? yall let Preemo know a lot of his sh*t is "dated" or "predictable", bro changes up the pattern a bit and all of a sudden yall in a frenzy I like this the more i hear it even though it's a snippet. I'm willing to bet mfs are gonna try to freestyle to this in the future on radio shows cuz the tempo is still around 95bpm to 100, perfect to spit on.
