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

[Primetime21]

Yall want the album to do numbers...but yall don't want the promotional vehicles to get said numbers.

And I'm willing to bet my check that since I brought it up and the album actually did more than 5k, yall "don't care about numbers" anymore...despite posting them every chance yall get because it didn't flop as bad as initially stated.

Nas threads will forever be weirdo territory and @Cladyclad ain't the issue

Right, a mf who isnt a fan spamming the thread with 200 posts isnt the issue get off his dikk

Never rush to review or opinionate on a freshly released NaS album.

I learned that a long time ago. This one has grown on me tremendously over the last few days.

@Cladyclad the one who brought up numbers in the first place man. Lol. How can u possibly say he ain't the issue when he's been in here trying to form ban bets about numbers? Yet he doesn't like Nas and doesn't like the album.

Last comment on the sales bullshyt

Every Nas release the same clowns, all of em Jay and Drake stans known as the worst posters on the site, spam the board with sales bullshyt. This time using made up numbers from a Drake stan on Twitter. But apparently anyone laughing these goofies for being so far off is the problem. Not the goofies flooding the board and derailing threads.

The sales topic so damn tired at this point. And extra stupid because Nas record sales still among the best in his age bracket. The Common and Pete Rock album ain't even chart in the top 200, nobody cared about the sales. LL dropped a classic album on a major label with 10x more promo and did 16k, nobody cared about the sales.

Listened to a second spin this morning, its a nice joint.

Too many dope records and I forget the best one I was just zoning and the AZ collabo was ultra nice.

Only thing that Billy Joel sample could have been flipped better like the original mixtape legendary cut it was borrowed from. Real thuns know the track I'm talking about.

4.5/5mics.

Yeah I agree. The song grew on me but my critique is I wish it didn't keep going back to the Billy Joel sample in the chorus. It shoulda went to the OG beat when Nas talks in the choruses. Kinda like how NYSOM2 goes back to the OG beat when Nas is saying "YOU HEARD ABOUT IT, YOU SEE ABOUT IT..." That part in 2 is hype as fukk.

I hear that, you are talking about the OG cut. I hear that though.

Back in the days it was the lights out remix joint, that was the dopest version. Hold on ...



Oh boy!

son does the same bs in every Nas thread...funny, he was very quiet in the Nas/Jay casino thread after he saw how it played out

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I made the fade famous, the chain famous
QB on my chest match the stainless
Amazing Grace, I'm gracefully aging
Without masonry, I made more paper to play with
No rap in my playlist, sold dimes on my day shift (King)
So, can I breathe? Can I walk? Can I speak? Can I talk?
Can I floss without you wanting me outlined in chalk?
Family gossiping, pocket watching him
Jealousy keeps blossoming, ain't let it box me in (King)
'Cause you are not a king if you can't come out a thing
That you got yourself in, claiming nobody helping
