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

[L. Deezy]

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.

I was gonna say this.. but I knew this would happen.

I love the album too, but it was never gonna be what people imagined in 2025 - 26

shade 45 played the whole nas preem green mixtape the other day

a lotta listeners thought that was the nas primo album

imo preem gave us a record from every era nas on this 1

"middle finger up to the hateful"

That mixtape is super fire

i didnt love the two songs on hip hop is dead. still dreamin was solid as hell. and the drums on let there be light were fire. but kanye was coming off late registration in 2006. i was honestly disappointed.



i'll be honest. i was kinda over kanye + nas after hip hop is dead. i just thought that album had a lot of other production that blew kanye's tracks out of the water. but it's just my opinion.

I never thought Nas and Kanye had particularly great chemistry on any of the songs they've done together, besides We Major and Still Dreaming.

Nas doesn’t care about stuff like that. People trashed Nasir and months later Nas did a whole music video film for it.




If there are going to be visuals for Light-Years it’ll come when they deem it fit.

yeah I got the 1st edition cd and 1st edition vinyl. I'm just waiting on the artwork cds and vinyls from mass Appeal and special edition vinyl from Amazon. I just got my De la Soul vinyl last week that I had preordered last year.

Ive never even bothered to watch this..

I was just done with Kanye and this project.

I liked Nasir. I never got the hate at all.

Yeah. When I compare it to Kanye’s work with Push, Roc-a-Fella, etc… or even to Nas’ limited work with No ID… I’ve always expected better.

Vibe was weird even before the album dropped. Just a weird, disappointing affair on nearly every level.
