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

[Mike Wins]

Wonder what videos they gonna drop. It's Time the only one with any commercial appeal at all so we know Nas not gonna do that because it's obvious but you could make a dope video for that based on the content.

Writers seem like a must because the concept is made for visuals. Nasty Esco Nasir would be cool too.

Lol

But I like it, had me thinking there's certain past beats that would get shyt on today

Made me think of "what I'm here for"of Mot

Personally i dont think everything has to be groundbreaking

I like it as well.

I don’t get your point.

Should I post lyrics from GNX, that are even more basic? Hardly anyone in here is calling the album classic.

You don't get my point because you quoted my post out of context. Spilz gay ass came in here and specifically said that nas's verse on "pause tapes" was better than ANYTHING Kendrick rapped on GNX. so I came in here and disproved that retarded claim by posting Kendricks verse on reincarnated. Which was WAY better than that shyt Nas rapped. I didn't just come in here and post that out of the blue. I was responding to a crazed homosexual Nas Stan.

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

Nah its a dope track, easy to feel especially if you play an instrument you get the automatic head nod there, it requires an eclectic taste in music IMO. I get why Nas rapped on this, he's always challenged himself in regard to the production and has eclectic taste as well. The Beat is multi-purpose, someone like Bobby Womack (rip) would have killed it.

I'm not saying you're saying this, but why does an album have to be a classic or trash? I've gotten 7 Nas albums in a row I really like. Good enough for me. Classics? Whatever. There's only so many of those and I don't really care, I'm a discography guy and Nas has added to his heavily with quality this decade.

Yea that's all fine. The problem is that Nas stans specifically can never take any sort of criticism about his work. And that's why they get clowned on so hard. Nas stans are by FAR the worst stanbase of any rapper. It's an obsession. On kings disease 3 I said Nas was incredible. And brilliant. Then I ended it by saying I would like to see Nas work with other producers and that I wasn't a huge fan of some of hitboys beats. And of course Nas stans formed like a dikk loving Voltron and started attacking anybody who criticized hitboys production. Nas stans bring this shyt on themselves.

Very classy beats

the detractors are everything you say the “stans” are, gotta call this shyt both ways.

Only thing One Mic got over Man At The Garden is energy/delivery

Thats where it edges it out

Only a troll or stan would believe this. One Mic is a CLASSIC record. Man In The Garden isn't even noteworthy when it comes to Kendrick concept records or serious joints. You stans aren't hip hop fans because you won't find anyone who likes rap saying this shyt. Stop it. You probably didn't even hear One Mic until maybe 4-5 years ago.

I am a Kendrick stan on wild levels. This is ridiculous.

Nas should really drop visuals like this for the whole album. Is definitely an album the deserves another layer to stimulate the listeners.

The musical tracks are more like scores. Nas lyrics paint pictures and the visual element should probably accompany the songs. I’ve always wanted a visual to blaze a 50 or undying love

 

[JayBaldacci]

This album if you ever wanted to see how great Nas is is if lol. He’s so incredible he carried this mostly ass production to a championship

The beat on pause tapes and welcome to the underground. Preme are u for real? Come on dog

Pause tapes is produced like a pause tape... it's a highlight of the project.

With this, Mobb Deep and SC2

To me this is the best year a Label has ever had since 1995 Wu
