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

[Chip Skylark]

Pause Tapes might be my fav track so far

The entire concept is so fly! The cassette static makes it even better.

 

[Artfull Dodger]

Bro people don't like this song but that last verse was worth the price of admission. He just absolutely killed that.

I loved it straight from the official snippet...in my top 2-3 from this.

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

thank god for the real fans

bad fans immediately ignored dj premier and listened thru shotty headphones and laptop speakers

some of yall had the audacity to say it wasnt thumpin or knockin.

talkin bout light drums, straight up LIES

this shyt got the bass on EZ rock

preemo delivered every kinda of beat from every era of gangstarr

moment of truth? hard to earn? blaq poet? freddie foxx?

not one skippable track and the ngga hit multiple concept records about the culture

sonically?

sounds like lost tapes

yall are truly miserable and nas is not, i love it

Welcome to the Underground

Thank you ..a real one knows

This was cool. I got to give it a few more spins before I can give it a decent review

I still think Clipse got album of the year, but this is going to be in my top 5 for sure (maybe)

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

He left some names out of Writers I’m surprised he omitted… Taki 183, Stay High 149, Keith Haring, Kaws, Doze…

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Gotta say, I’m glad I listened to this on my own for the first couple times so I could form my own opinions. Reading the initial opinions of others would have ruined my experience. This is for another thread but the expectations some people have for artists, how they listen to the music, and how they react/rate/review is unhealthy and probably needs to be studied.

Nas and AZ are just magic together. I can’t think of one wack song they ever did together.

 

[chiefdogg]

I’m going revisit….but off of the first listen…..

Meh.

Same! Imma run it back as well, felt I was a little too harsh.

Yep, you get it mayne!

 

[TheDarceKnight]

My first impression...there are some good tracks on here alongside questionable/meh stuff, Nas does his thing overall, the production is very mixed.

very fair

 

[JCalli]

How is Nasty Esco Nasir being left out of some of these lists.

That track is fuego!

 

[The Dust King]

He left some names out of Writers I’m surprised he omitted… Taki 183, Stay High 149, Keith Haring, Kaws, Doze…

breh, they are literally all mentioned

nas fans just aint the same

 

[resistanze]

Production is ehhhh.... definitely a mixed bag.

 

[Icewatermetallik]

Ok brehs, Im liking the album, of course there are no beautiful "Nas is Like" type joints on there, but Nas comes correct lyrically as usual.

But, idk, some of the beats just dont mesh well imo.....like NYSOM Part 3, it sounds just off to me.....like off-key.....almost discordant if you get what I mean?

I was hoping there'd be some more melodic or sonically pleasing type beats on there, like Memory lane or Nas is Like type stuff, more accessible.

This album sounds like Wrath of the Math and Hard to Earn had a baby.

But I was expecting more Momen of Truth style.

If you grew up listening to cats like Jeru the Damaja or Gang Starr's early stuff, you're probably loving this.

It'll have to grow on me a bit. But I do love My Life Is Real, Git Ready, Writers, Bouquet, and Sons.

Inviting another man to your dikk is the definition of fakkitry, wouldnt expect any less of you
