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

[perfectblack999]

Dudes really don't like the beat on the AZ track? song is fire. Beat is unique and unexpected. Dark surface but got a groove that fit the fly shyt they talking on there.

The back and forth is super dope. The best just feels like an emptier version of their older smooth stuff.

Agreed. Vibes and Stuff sounds like it belongs on Midnight Marauders.

I think Tip, Ghost, Rae and Nas are crazy in a good way for the following.

Q-Tip worked steady - and persevered to contribute to both Illmatic and Infamous.

Nas on this album says he was before Wu Tang. Cool, but eye raising words with friendly competition.

For Nas to jump on Cuban Linx....then for Mobb, Rae, Ghost and Nas to work on infamous is crazy teamwork.

If they were lazy, perfectionists or ego driven they would not have recorded in 1995. But they just did. Like Nike just do it.

A simple decision and attempt and it worked flawlessly.

Alot of big time artists can't do that over time.

[Crumple]

Beats sound older than his dikkriderz

Did you get your daily Dose of Trippie Red, J Cole, Kendrick, G Easy and Cardi B? Good for you

 

[Awesome Wells]

One of my OG's spoke on the album too.

The dude responsible for putting sh*t together like The Infamous, OB4CL, and Capital Punishment.

Do the knowledge.

Say it again..because they fried Hit Boy..even other producers like Pete Rock was mad

A nikka in this thread tried to say Nas doesn’t have versatile subject matter in the last 5 years is wildin the fukk out. This shyt is riddled with concepts.

nikkaz take a couple bars about investments/business ignore 90% of the rest of the album

Hit Boy deserves his fukkin flowers. I was listening to KD3 on my way home today. That shyt is amazing I don’t gaf what no one says.

 

[HNIC973]

I was bumping this with my wife when I got home today and this shyt just keep sounding better. wtf is going on here? lol.

It's not bad at all fam. nikkaz lying talking about it's terrible when it's clearly not. I get expecting more from Preemo but damn dudes going overboard with the hate. There's gems on here

They are both great and proved they're longevity over decades. That's great for hip hop.

What not dated production do you like?

I think it’s just NySOM 3 and Welcome To The Underground being back to back kinda fukks the early impression of the album up. After that its joint after joint.
