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

[staticshock]

nikkas get on here & type dissertations about the psyche of rap fans when someone doesn’t like a nas project

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

Kendrick Lamar is one



Nas wishes he could write something that good.

I swear this might the 10th time i've seen you post those exact peekaboo lyrics, If all you can you do is post those lyrics over and over the "point" you're making isn't a very good one.

 

[Cladyclad]

Dudes are giving this weak ass album points because its “a love letter to hiphop”

Nas fans ruined his legacy

That Bouquet song is fukking awful. Nas stans have to pretend they like it for the betterment of women. But knowing they heart dropped once their gawwd mentioned sexy red lol

Nas needs a team of people to be like naw breh thats not it

 

[spliz]

Ok but putting a verse together is not lyrics - and I understand you thought the concept was ill , I think it was ill too but that is subject matter

When you said lyrics I thought you were saying actually words written

It sounds like you just like how Nas raps over how Kendrick does … which is fine

I don’t see how you can listen to reincarnated, heart pt 6, or Gloria and say they are absent of the same elements you like on pause tapes

Esco vs Nasir … like Kendrick literally coming from multiple perspectives on reincarnated … idk breh

To each their own I guess.

Nas the baseline lyrically on Light Years is higher than GNX. Like on average Nas is putting them verses together better than Kendrick was on GNX cause GNX was really basic. nikka barely used multis in some of them verses just straight forward shyt. And that’s ok cause I like that type of shyt too but come on fam.

 

[HNIC973]

None of those hitboy and Nas albums were remotely close to GNX or Mr morale .....Kendrick is 10 times the song writer Nas is at this

Not even in his prime? You are delusional.


His verse on this is better than every verse uou posted.




Bear in mind no rapper in history has touched on more subjects than Nas, hes rapped as a fetus, as a detective, told a story backwards, rapper as a gun, rapped as someone ascending to heaven, wtf you smoking?

a roach, a werewolf, a fukking prison cell I mean wtf are we doing?

 

[VegetasHairline]

A lot of y'all like arguing just to argue.

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Lyrically? What about them are lyrically better? Matter fact. Have u ever had to do a Pause Tape? Do u understand what it is and how to do it? What it was like? Nasty Esco Nasir. Where do Kendrick got that in his album? Listen I’m not talking about SONGS. I’m talking about lyrics that’s it. Not performance.

There you go moving goal posts the way you tell others
We not doing that

if your talking about the actual lyrics then relatability shouldnt matter

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'm sorry but treating Welcome To The Underground like a single to sell your album is insane. Not exactly Al Jarreau Of Rap status but what are we doing man. What is going on. Nothing about this makes sense. The rollout, the single, multiple things being steered to Ian's clients. I feel like I'm being trolled.

Yes. Lyrics. Post the lyrics so we can compare.

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

I enjoy most of this when I spin it.

Even songs I don't love I like certain parts/elements


+ depending on where you play this, certain "issues" can be adjusted with simple EQ (even though I always listen flat)

THANK U this is what I was trying to point out. Get these goofy muthafukkas out the thread and I’m not even opposed to people not liking this album I have been criticizing it all thread. But these nikkas come in and stink up shyt and I’m tired of this shyt. Take that goofy ass shyt somewhere else.

 

[criminology]

just listened to Pause Tapes…

wacced out murals… h6… man at the garden gloria & reincarnated are better than pause tapes

Man at the garden? You trolling. That’s like comparing two Nas songs.

 

[kes929]

Nas snapped off on this album. This album is great. I’ve tried to find the major complaints some people have with premes production but I can’t find it. Granted Nas makes beats sound better than they are but that’s what the goat does.

 

[spliz]

Man at the garden? You trolling. That’s like comparing two Nas songs.

Let alone the fact that Nas produced One Mic and made a better beat and spit better with a better concept over that shyt. These nikkas is crazy.

 

[Figaro]

I might be the only that fukks with Welcome To The Underground
