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

[Ziggiy]

I don’t see Nas doing a I Gave You Power sequel. That song ends perfectly and I think stands the test of time as a storytelling behemoth for the 90’s. Something like N.Y. State of Mind lends itself better to sequels and continuations.

I don’t forsee there being a bunch of Part 2’s or 3’s, Nas nor Premo probably want to rehash what they’ve already done. We probably get NY State of Mind Part 3 to start the album off for the heads and stuck in the 90’s nikkas and the rest will be fresh ideas and concepts.

i always looked at Beef off KD3 as a rehash of I Gave You Power

 

[the cac mamba]

I like Al Jarreau of Rap to actually.

@1.55 Big Shug got his wish granted 20 years later

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

I can’t wait for this shyt right here. Just in time for the holidays, I’m getting that magic feel.

Features, no features, I don't really care.

Whatever Nas decides will be the right decision. His track record the last few years speaks for itself.

so Premier has a nice break from the tour around the 4th to the 15th so I expect them to do some press

Niiceeee.


I had no idea he had a break I thought the tour would be going straight through December.

You think we get a single/video this week or they keep it all close to the vest until release week like with Magic 2 & 3? Half of me wants a single and the other half wants to take it all in at midnight ok the 12th.

I did too.. just happen to see the full schedule

oh, I kinda want it to just drop now that its only 2 weeks out

 

[L $ C]

this should be sticked already, this is the GOAT dropping

 

[Izanami]

I’m trying not to over hype and keep expectations in check. I really just hope we get at least one Nas all timer on this.

As far as features I’d love to see Dot, AZ, Cole, and Black Thought

Now THAT is a nas stan.
