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

[Artfull Dodger]

nikkaz didn't like Magic 2

It gives the Streets Disciple vibe : Best work mixed with bad.
The best though are some of Nas Best work Slow It Down, Motion, Office Hours, Pistols On Your Album Cover

Its my least preferred Nas and Hitboy album.

I've been loving this album since it dropped but I remembered today that they didn't do any interviews beforehand so now IDK WHAT TO THINK

They better drop some videos quick so I can decide if I still like the music I've been hearing for the past week!

fukking cornball armchair A&R's around here acting like they have skin the game

What This All Really Means and Bokeem are fire too

Whole album is fire to me. Its a “personal” favorite of mine amongst the Hit-Boy era even though objectively at least three of the albums are better plus Light-Years.

Lol I just caught this one:

Like a baby baffled, first time seein' his shadow
People react the same to what Preem and Nas will unravel

 

[King Harlem]

Once I got over my high expectations while doing my first listen. I've been able to enjoy the album. Overall, it is solid, not great but solid. I actually enjoy it the more I listen to it.

The video treatments for Nasty Esco Nasir & Graffiti write themselves.

Love KD1 but as a body of work I got Light Years over it.

The Cure is one of my favorite Nas songs of all time.
