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

[spliz]

“It’s Time” is getting serious play from me recently.

My brother said that shyt should be in the next NBA 2K. Lol

I seem to like My Life is Real a lot more than most. I liked the weird piano sound, and it sounds like the intro to an album called Light-Years to me, almost like you're traveling through the coldness of space.

Where does Nasty Esco Nasir rank in terms of Alter Ego songs in Hip-Hop history?? Has to be pretty high.

I immediately thought of TI vs TIP when I heard it. Can't quite put it above that yet, but it's dope.

I'm drawing blanks on others..

Agreed

This album is made for hip hop fans not the casual listener. It flows as a project not so much a collection of songs. This album will not be a big hit but I think it delivered to the fans fantasizing about a full Nas and Premo album. Nas at this point has already cemented him self as someone who can drop a great if not classic album at will essentially and this adds to it.

That's called a "chord".

Yeah, it's dope! It definitely sounds like "Invisible fingers playing chords on my haunted piano" lol

Would've preferred he made more tracks that sound like that for this project.

Eminem Guilty Conscience pt 1 and 2
Cannabis Bis vs Rip
Cassidy The Problem vs The Hustler

that's the best overall song on the album that is SINGLE WORTHY that'll help promote the album, that and "GiT Ready"

This is a solid album both Nas and Premier have been excellent in 2026 when you consider how deep both are into their careers. Think this project will age well, at the moment it holds a unique space in Nas catalogue a single project with a classic old school producer. That's what the fans have been asking for decades and now that they have it many are still not happy lol.

Bouquet just came on from the playlist.
I must have blocked out where he shouted out Azelia Banks and Doja Cat and slipping in Iggy like we didn't notice

The whole atmosphere of the records are dope though, keeps you drawn in with the imagery Nas is setting.
