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

[L $ C]

A album has to reach outside of a fanbase to be classic. Its only Nas stans saying anything about this album

Once again i said it has to check a benchmark

That album has

Impact/influence
Quality
Success

Thats the definition of a classic if you check all 3 boxes

Lost tapes had no type of impact.

Like knuckle said Nas dont even perform these records like that

Return Of The Boom Bap didn’t go gold. Neither did Mecca & The Soul Brother. Gangstarr’s first three albums didn’t go gold. A host of other 80s, 90s, and 00s albums generally considered classic don’t go gold.

This isn’t a hip hop opinion, it’s a hater opinion. You’ve crafted an argument against a rapper/fanbase you dislike and then have to move the goal posts when people point out holes in the logic. I’m fine with arguing Lost Tapes isn’t a classic because it’s a compilation but you can’t even stick to that type of technical disqualification. I’ve NEVER heard someone argue Lost Tapes isn’t a great album. Nas haters love that album and use it to claim he fell off. You can’t even do that because you’re so dedicated to the bit/act.

Everybody knows I don’t fukk with this Premo album yet I can come intro any Nas thread and have good discussions with the most hardcore stans because we enjoy talking hip hop. I don’t think you enjoy taking hip hop. I think you just enjoy being argumentative.

Freeway album just went gold...23 yrs after its release

We're in a new territory with hip hop bc 99% of guys who rapped in the 90s outside of Em won't go gold if they dropped today, even if it's a classic

LL had a great project with Q-tip...Common had a good project with Pete...I bet they didn't crack 250k
