[head shots101]

WHERES THE SAMPLES

I said the same thing …. According to a poster in this thread he said that Preme sampled a lot on this album and I don’t know what I’m talking about

 

[JoelB]

Yes a man who has the most multi plat albums need to force people to listen to his music

 

[Cladyclad]

i really need to listen to this album that way i can properly trash this project

Hurry please

 

[Cladyclad]

You can pick magna carter over light years or any recent Nas album. Im fine with that.

But you never answered. And I didn’t bring Jay up in this thread, I was only responding to your post about magna selling 3 mil over 10k for this album

Better rhyming
Better beats

Simple

I dont like nothing about Light Years beat or rhymes

shyt is too mid

 

[YakSpiller]

People in this thread arguing about sample packs and shyt

Just enjoy the music and shut up or if you don’t like it KIM.

Stop worrying about how the product was made.

as the biggest nas stan

this album sucks


not lyrically wise obviously

but these beats are dead and horrible

a new producer should remix this whole shyt

So, I didnt grow up on pause tapes. or maybe not knowing the science of why they call it that. but it made me go deeper into Premes catalogue to find examples.


"Grab a piece of vinyl, drop the needle at the top
Listen for a beat to rock, ninety minute tape, I got enough time
Play it one time, four bars
Press record, then press pause, then restart
Record, loop, repeat
Do that 'bout twenty times, yo, I made my first beat
Pause tapes"


Ironically this one of my all time fav Gang Star songs from Step in the Arena. Preme took the the beginning of this sample (4 bars and looped it)




Sampled from Billy Cobham - Leaward Winds

Preme did stripped down songs with a scratch before







this why I say Light Years is more close to early Premier and Step in the Arena

 

[Barney Rubble]

In the Budden interview, Nas was alluding to AZ being the reason we don't have the collab album between the two. No disrespect to A, but that would be the biggest moment of his career since the 90's. He needs to put all the other shyt on hold and make it a priority.

no where did I say what it should be, I said it isnt up to the quality it should have been production wise thats all

This is the album and song I mentioned a couple days ago in here.

Preem said he was taking it back to that era. So he did a dope job of recapturing that feeling that a lot of us grew up with, listening to the early Gang Starr projects. That essence is strong on this album. I love sh*t like that.

exactly.. this why I dont take most dudes opinions too seriously on here. People dont really study the history of artists or producers.

Tell that to him. He’s the one who cheated sales.
