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

[Wepa Man]

question, yall want Nas to do a multi producer album or just stick with one for a whole album?

I reading a lot of old posts re: Nas and production right now

multi producer

 

[L $ C]

hate to say it. but kanye and nas are not a good pairing musically. less about where kanye is now; the music has never consistently lived up to the potential of what those two SHOULD be able to do together.

it doesnt really make sense... nas and kanye should be a match made in hip hop heaven. but with the exception of "we major", "you mean the world to me", "everything i love" and "poppa was a playa", their collaborations have always failed to measure up imo.

And still dreaming and Adam and Eve and. Tons of good ones


Oh and Donda was a GREAT album

A wellness check for you.

The last decent project was Life of Pablo and the last actual dope one was "My Beautiful . . ." Dude has been trash for awhile now.

Kanye has had some many dope productions since then lol. Such bs. And donda delux was great




Anyways do yall rly think prem wasn’t hella subpar on this ?

Put the klans robe wearing, Hitler-worshipping, Nazi-promoting bullshyt aside…

Kanye hasn’t made a “focused” album in damn near ten years. Those Vultures albums were absolute TRASH. Donda was messy, uneven, unfocused, and ultimately forgettable. Kanye is a walking disaster warning and history shows he won’t stay on his meds, won’t consistently get the help he clearly needs, and will wild out at any given moment. He’s NOT the person you lock in with for a full project because his default position is chaos. Nas musically doesn’t function well in chaos.

You had some good options you put forth. Metro? Absolutely. Running it back with Hit-Boy? Excellent. But Kanye West?!?! Modern day Kanye West?!?! F U C K NO

You know what Nas shoudnt do ? Rap over total weed plates like prem just mostly gave him minus 2-3 on here. Elite rapping. Bad production

Do you think there’s a potential hit song on this album?

It’s not about hits. It’s about dope visuals for a song you feel great about like he did 4 times with last hit boy album

He just dropped an album and you're already demanding another one. You think Nas is just writing rhymes all day?

Overall yes, but he did bless Nas with some of the dopest shyt he has had in awhile. I don't have a problem with Hit Boy production but Nas over classic NYC sound is the pinnacle.
They got a strong 4-5 on this. The rest is mid or wack beat wise. Preme has a couple of embarrassing beats in this.

Still
Light Years > Nasir

Forgot Still Dreaming. So basically everything they did together prior to him being a professional crash out. lol.

no music video so far at all? no other stuff? nothing

Jesus man, this could have been so much more from product to roll out to everything and it hurts me to say that, Nas is my fav music artist across all genres

I get the sense that both Nas and Preme felt the lukewarm reception and mixed reviews from fans and they just want to move on.

It's unfortunate but I don't blame them. I still think it's a very dope album.

Anybody got their cd yet? I ordered mine off the website back in December, still ain't here.

I just think Nas ain't with all that promo shyt anymore, he wanna just drop music and keep it pushing. They barely did anything leading up to the album.
