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

[Zero]

pause tapes one of the worst preem beats ever

It's cool for the concept of the song. But the album doesn't really pick up until Madman and Writers

I don't get the hate for the Pause Tapes beat when there are a bunch of stiff sounding beats with stockish sounding drums. Pause Tapes beat at least has an aura about it.

Welcome to The Underground actually sounds dope in CDQ.

No shyt

NY STATE OF MIND PT.3

MADMAN

NASTY ESCO NASIR


Wondered if this album was mixed at the old D&D Studios by Eddie Sancho

Writers is fukking incredible. This nikka pen is different

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I love this album, but man...the Time Keeps on Slipping joint sounds like if I told CHatGPT to make a Preemo type beat out of the sample. It sounds exactly how I thought it was gonna sound and not in the best way.

I'm also just not a fan of using mega popular rock samples in rap beats. I feel like that shyt gets done to death by Em, Dre, Snoop, and lots of A-listers in recent years. Might be my least favorite on this album.

Facts

Writers is where I feel like they found a groove and are both in sync

Nas is rapping but Premier is lacking a lot on those first few tracks

But Writers got me nodding my head like “this is what I was hoping to hear”

 

[Nabs]

The album really gets going at Madman. Nas is spitting his best in years to me. Git Ready is also dope, and I think Underground will probably sound great on speakers.

I'm gonna save the second spin for tomorrow when I can bump it for real.
