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

Oh shyt AZ hit da stage!!

I really thought cormega was coming out the back too for affirmative action.
Nas’ hype man is garbage. He knows Nas is 52 and smokes weed and won’t fill in his words for him.

Group Home has a better DJ Premier album than anyone not named GangStarr

Jeru?

After this Amazon show I cannot WAIT for Nas to go on tour in 2026.

The Light Years tracks go HARD live

Bruh its insane lol I understand if theres a section that dont like Preem's style, past 20 years or so just like some dont like Hit Boy style but like I would have thought given the clamoring they knew how Prem sounds and rock with it and it wouldnt be this loud and mixed. And then the themes of the album and the songs are pretty explanatory which explains why Pause Tapes sounds like Pause Tapes etc.

Exactly, bro.

Dudes literally said the concept for "Pause Tapes" was "wack", but then right after, admitted they didn't even know what a pause tape was. LOL!! There are people trying their best to critique sh*t they have limited knowledge on. And this is why you can't take these dudes seriously.

Yep thats always his grand finale except for once when I saw him in 2014 at One Music fest he ended with Stay.

My Life Is Real is a dope way to set the album off

Nas always got them openers

 

[Ziggiy]

Amazon always does a great job with concert streams.

On NYSOM3 I like the juxtaposition and blending of Billy Joel and Nas’s sound and view of NY

Grimy and haunting when Nas is rapping

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Pause Tapes is probably my favorite song

So creative

Day 2 and already seeing some folks saying it's growing on them.

Myself included.

Not the instant wow factor I had after every Hit album, or even Life is Good - but really happy with this. Will likely go down as my third favorite album of the year. And it's been a great fukking year.

The funniest shyt are youtube producers talking about beats and their beats are all quantized shyt on the grid with stiff azz drums that no one wants to listen to.
