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

[YakSpiller]

This album is definitely like a thank you to hip-hop/rap. A lot of the themes of the songs are like an ode to the history of the culture.

Bouquet is a great song

Its crazy that at 15 tracks and 48 minutes, this album feels short. The way Nas was rapping and the way Primo laced the beats I cod have listened to a 20 track album of these two.


They really fukking did it.

 

[prophecypro]

These beats are perfectly good Primo beats

Yeah Nas rapped on better on Hit Boy but yall were nuts for expecting NYSOM and I gave you power cause this is just on the level of what he was doing this whole century

 

[Metal Face]

pause tapes one of the worst preem beats ever

Already half way in and as good as the Hit Boy run was (i advocated heavy for dude), this blows all of that out of the water Nas sounds like a totally different emcee on this. This is some straight up hiphop. Welcome back home breh

Not Magic or KD3, but it's right there with them.

 

[NormanConnors]

Nas rhyming is unmatched. Some of these Preme beats though.....

are you literally listening in hell breh
