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

[Animal House]

Facts

Don’t understand nikkas sometimes.

Been asking for a Hard() straight hip hop album from dude since IWW.

They came through on that IMO

nikkas just like to complain i think.

 

[HNIC973]

They REALLY should and this album growing on me more and more. The nikka who said Nasir better than this is smoking some shyt.

I read that comment like

 

[Controversy]

He got 6 albums doing the same

Nas is a problem too.

Nas sounds sharp is so generic

His voice and flow no issue. Its his words. His writing is just bland just like these beats

It's funny hearing this from you when Jigga post-444 gets all his inspiration from Nas words

 

[mundL]

Ok madman beat hard

Finally lol

Ya'll gotta stop replying to that clown man. Supposedly he's digested the album, doesn't like it, but is still in here running the post count up so he can rely on "but they're replying to me" as justification

I can see some of the new generation Nas not feeling some of these songs but if your fan of the sound of late 80s & early 90s you got to fukk with GiT Ready.

NYSOM3 reminds me of the Society Is Brainwashed beat he gave Ill Bill a while back - I like that horrific type energy they both have

 

[perfectblack999]

Nasty Esco Nasir is fire though.

The ominous beats on here are dope sans NYSOM3

 

[Unbothered]

I definitely gotta listen to this later.

Nas has been on a roll lately with his last three plus albums, so I know this has to be good, to say the least, because, c'mon, it's Nas, one of the greatest emcees ever, and DJ Premier, one of (if not the) greatest producers of all time.

Both of these guys are in my top 5 of what they do for a living, respectively. I know Prem hasn't been in his 90s and early 00s prime for quite some time, but the last time I heard a full record of him in the modern era was on the last Gang Starr album, nearly a decade ago.

I will say that it would've been nice to see Nas and Pete Rock link up because I think Pete still has it more so than Premier, but I'll have to save judgment for later.

Bouquet clearly isn't for my demographic



Time keeps on slippin'

It's Time got that bop to it. Nasty Esco has that gritty feel + the concept is dope.

 

[head shots101]

lol some of yall nikkaz rate albums way too quickly …. Let this shyt marinate… pause

 

[L68]

Good album. I would have reordered the tracklist but I liked it.. Nasty Esco Nasir

 

[Dylmatic]

Nas hasn't posted anything about the album today yet.

 

[Knucklehead]

It’s ironic that he’s bragging about being the first rapper to feature multiple great producers on his album while most people want him to get back to that after 8 straight albums with a single producer.

Junkie...



Yea, this the shyt that make a breh realize
