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

[Grand_Verbalizer]

This song randomly came up after NYSOM 3 on my YouTube and only made me hate NYSOM 3 even more.

That's one of the tracks I like only certain parts, Lyrically it's very good imo

New York State of Mind 3 gets a lot of hate because its not like the first 2 obviously...but idk man like it sounds good as a track on its own.

Those strings are nice, the transitions and mixing is what I think folks don't like

A big bass line like Black moon 6ft deep would fill shyt up

This sample would be perfect for a remix with the same tone

 

[Ziggiy]

he might link back up with Mike they apparently spoke

That would be tor the best. They’re both better together.

I Didn't like this.
I think somewhere near a decade ago, Nas became this suit wearing Mogul with slightly longer hair and his flow is annoying...like he's talking to some friend of his and has to namedrop something every second.

Quick name 10 products he name drops on here.

Breh no one is listening to his lyrics lol

I refuse to help give him any more clicks. It wasn't just one, but a few. I'm not helping them fakkits. Hell no

Then maybe they should stop talking about his lyrics. Welcome to the point genius.

NYSOM 3 gonna go so hard new years eve in new york. I can definitely hear it a commercial for the knicks. One of the hoes gonna make a hell of a reel on Instagram too

It just blows my mind how a lot of the same ppl who cried FOR YEARS about Nas going commercial, how Nas needed to make another “Illmatic” are panning this album. True mental illness.

Just cause it’s Boom Bap doesnt make it great. Why can’t people make this distinction?
