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

[Tommy Gibbs]

With the album released and in full swing I think the promotion has actually been pretty goos so far.

He had the Amazon Concert which looked like it was heavily sponsored by the NBA where he performed two songs from the new album alongside his classics. The interview with Budden that they’re hyping up. Hopefully he sits down with Joe & Jada as well. Looking forward to some videos too.

amazon preorder for vinyl with artwork went up recently. It will be shipped out in February

@Cladyclad

My dear brother you’re always top 5 for replies in every Nas thread

Lets make a perm bet that im not

 

[ajnapoleon]

Hey dumb ass he said every album thread. This my first Nas album thread idiot.

you remember those bars word for word

Doubt you can for any record off this lol

I thought about this for years but never said it


If nas is way better

Why


Do people of all walks of life quote Jay so damn much

And from random songs and albums and features


I never seen or heard any one even nas fans pull lines from nas


I think they even for different reasons


But Jay got to be the quotable rapper out the 2 and I still can’t put my finger on why


But nas had those gems you can’t deny give you that feeling


It’s hard to explain

My top 3 so far:

It's Time - this track isn't talked about enough imo.
Writers
Madman...or Junkie

Slept on, shyt bangs. Still tied for my fav with Pause Tapes

 

[NormanConnors]

Yup, exactly. If everything was the Level of Writers or Git Ready this shyt would be fine, and its frustrating because the songs that do fall flat would easily be better with one or two fixes. That's why I keep being specific about the flaws because with all of these beats, the POTENTIAL to be 10/10s are still there. I'm not nitpicking to nitpick, it's because the skeletons of these beats are so worthwhile and just in need of some extra love that we can more easily see what areas they're lacking in.

People dont know what constructive criticism looks like these days lmao

I can respect this/see your take given how clean your mixes are .

I fw Coop but man I wish he wasn’t so sassy

Bc I like his perspective when it comes to hip hop shyt and just the culture, but he don’t always make it easy to want to.

I guess the other 2 bros got tired of Coop too and bounced. Now he’s doing sporadic shows with this cac. Sucks because him and the bros had something good going.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

Album wasn’t for me .

he might link back up with Mike they apparently spoke

 

[Piff Perkins]

Nasir would like to have a word lol

Maybe his most polarizing, seeing as now theres a general conensus on other albums and this one might take some time to figure out.

I’m hindsight we should have known Kanye was too crazy to land the plane. I wouldn’t have foreseen we’d get a Premo album with nothing that matches his best beats over the last couple years.

 

[Discipline]

Interesting if true. They were better together. Coop was the energy, Mike was able to reign Coop in and was a good counterbalance. Both are knowledgeable.

 

[CHERUB]

back in the Sohh days I woulda beat the shyt outta sombody over this NaS shyt. Not in 2025 though.
