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

[Tommy Gibbs]

someone help me out... Where did I hear the "shine together" beat first? I swear Primo used it as a skit somewhere. Since Friday I've been trying to figure it out what album he used this as a skit on.

yeah i have a feeling we gettin another
nas X az X pete rock collab

I think he should do another Illmatic just to shut people the fuk up. Bring give primo 3 beats, Large pro 3, and 1 a piece to LES, Tip, and Pete rock while producing his own intro again.

The internet would self combust with pure HATE if he ever did that. There would be not one OUNCE of objectivity, this album Light Years is proof of that.

2 a piece for Pete Rock, Premier, Q tip, Hav, Hit, Large Pro and L.E.S.

The tracklist would break the Internet.

With Nas, a lot of fans fall into the trap of seeing the producer he's working, listen to said producer's recent work, and expecting similar or better results with Nas. Then they hear the work with Nas and are underwhelmed because the producer produced a Nas song and not songs that sound like the songs they liked that they just heard on another album. To some degree, all if us as Nas fans have done it. In extreme cases, it is the basis of the "Nas picks wack beats" narrative. In reality, it is pretty much us as fans expecting the beats to sound like what was given to other artists.

Then when it doesn't meet expectations, fans fall into the trap of what his next album should sound like and who we think he should be working with.

Nailed it.

I love what he did lyrically there but that beat is trash. I’d love to see someone remix that one

It reminded me of "What I'm Here 4," but I know that's not the answer you're looking for.

Yall so full of shyt

I guarantee if HitBoy put this exact album out all these Dinosaur age old heads would be calling this garbage - yall just wanna glaze Preem at any and all costs

Preem out here making wack sample pack beats with no energy and these nikkaz got essays on the essence of hip hop. LAUGHABLE.

Top 5 Nas Album … like what ? You lose all credibility when you say shyt like that

I hope Nas next album is Him and Metro Boomin to destroy you Jurassic park age nikkaz once and for all.

Jurassic Park age nikka here and I agree with everything you said. Metro x NAS would be murder. Preme been phoning it for years.
To me the lyrics & flow are there; I hate to say it's the beats because of the stigma/regurgitated critique of NAS but here it holds true..... IMO as a Jurassic Park dinosaur age nikka of course

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

Nas threads here are wild



I think we can all agree with this album he (finally) has surpassed DPG affiliate Swoop G
