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

[TripleAgent]

Great warm up. If you think a Nas/Premo album won't have some fire on it, slap yaself. Let Preem start digging for real and watch the magic (no pun intended) happen. nikkas talking "character" and such, and this simple beat he probably made in 10 minutes has more swing, funk and flavor than 75% of them last 6 joints y'all suck off.

YEAH, I SAID IT

Here go my favorite

Another good example of sampling, Preem killed that Adrian Younge shyt

nikkaz literally can't help themselves still hating on HB even though this Preemo joint

Really, all the beat needed was a switch up on the fourth bar and it sounds a zillion times better, and prime Premo would've done exactly that. A weird misstep on that front.

At the very least switch it up at the chorus. Would've done wonders. That said, it's growing on me.

I love this!

I’ve talked about a Preemo album for many years and never lost hope even when Nas Stan’s tried to shyt on Preemo in favor of Nas doing 5 Hit-Boy albums.

Salute.

I feel like Premo's beats don't have that life to them like they did on those first Gangstarr albums. And I've been listening to those albums a lot recently.

I’m happy with it. I’ll be even happier with a full project.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Solid, but Preemo beats have all pretty much sound the same for ages now. His last great beat was probably AZ's The Format

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Doesn’t have the same feeling as 2nd Childhood for example

Nas is still spittin’ tho
