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

[THE 101]

Can't listen right now...everyone praising the bars but how are the beats?

 

[AmazinFlyinBrick]

A lot of this production has kind of a dark/eerie vibe to me. Loving this on second listen

 

[HNIC973]

You cut maybe 3 songs no complaints from me 4/5 met my expectations honestly

 

[Stick Up Kid]

They going in on him sadly. The consensus seems to be that Nas brought it, but Premo didn't deliver what they expected.

I clicked on a lot of those accounts
And they based In India, Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa, Uganda, Philippines

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Yeah, he is.

It's Pos then Malice a very close second.

You're the same troll that was shytting on the album before you even heard it. Nobody is taking you seriously

 

[DontEemTry]

Personal assessment

4 tracks are complete heat rocks.
2 very good tracks

The rest ok, kinda bland. Album just feels like one long continuous verse

they aren't but there's levels. Nobody is Nas point blank

I listened to this joint a lil earlier and Nas held this joint down with his rhymes but the production and beats from DJ Premier is subpar. For me, this album doesn't pick up until the 4 or 5 track in. Nas would have been better off doing another album with Hit-Boy on production or an Alchemist collab album.

Fav tracks:


Madman
Sons (Young Kings)
Nasty Esco Nasir
My Story Your Story
Junkie
Bouquet
3rd Childhood

That's the problem you run into sometimes with these 1 producer albums. The tempos usually stay in the same range so it gets predictable or repetitive. I've been saying that with a lot of Alchemist's projects too. It happened with the Conductor projects. The artists probably don't pick on it as they're making the songs one by one but when you play the whole thing from to back it's noticable.
