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

[Zero]

Cats don't understand that Preem is a master at laying the backdrop for Nas to get his rhymes off/and let the lyrics breathe at the same time. Perfect marriage. That's one reason Nas sounds different on here to me. One of Preems best skills imo.

I feel like My Story/Your Story is a great example of this. It's not overbearing at all and smooth enough to let Nas and AZ be heard

Nasty Esco Nasir is CRAZY. LOL

This shyt finna grow on me like a muthafukka I already know. Lol

Bro.. kinda shocked at your points. This album is all I could ever ask for from a non 90s/early 2k Nas and Preme. Even the way Preme flipped a very used Steve Miller sample to make it sound fresh was a kudos moment

God damn reddit is going in on this production.

"Someone call 1800 Nas and Hit"

"Is this the same dude who produced Nas is like?"

"Nas should just a spoken word album"

Lmao

I think it’s cause I was listening to classic Premo tracks for the last few days so it was missing a certain knock. But nah the album fire I got it at like around an 8 out of 10 right now there’s only 2 songs I don’t like.

ok just finished. Played it all the way through. Magic was my bar for this album and it overwhelms Magic from start to finish. What I worried about was Preme and lack good bass lines. Man, he shut my ass up. Beautiful cuts like Sons and Bouquet for the ladies which I knew was gonna be for the ladies of hip hop. Just beautiful. Album is perfect. I didnt skip any songs. I aint saying every song a complete 9 or 10, but I can play it through with no skips.

I'm not gonna compare this really to The KD albums. Hit has more diverse type songs, but THIS HERE IS NAS!!!!!. Grateful I got to experience this. Preme solidified his status.

I couldn’t have said it any better than this. Well said and exactly how I feel.

 

[bigde09]

so far Magic KD3 >>>>>.

this is a cool 7/10

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Pause Tape seems divisive but that's some vintage weird Gang Starr shyt. I loved it.

 

[CHERUB]

Yea lotta yall under yall covers in bed with apple ear buds yall cant judge this layered shyt properly

This, the Steve Miller shyt has that bounce, Nas floated serious.
