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

[FloodedJesus]

?

On Drink Champs, Irv Gotti told that story about Nas being scared to go into the hood. Nore checked him at the time and the internet followed up lol

Then Nas says on Madman

“It be tradition, hate they wishin' on me
They try to switch the story
So they don't look like a bytch in the story
It's my life, not a third party witness' story
Some heard somebody heard something different, distorted version of the truth
It's murder in the booth
Word to Lorenzo-Irv, the Benz swerve (Err)”

Sounded like he was rebutting Irv’s version of the story

Sounded to me like a rebuttal against Noble, Snoop, and others who tried to insinuate that Pac punked Nas during their Central Park standoff.

 

[THE 101]

Album is dope and better than all them Hit-Boy shyts.

Git Ready the type of throwback ish Salaam Remi would regularly give Nas that I've missed hearing him over.

The hate for NYSOM Pt3 is crazy to me. That is just a gutter ass beat completely in spirit of the original.

There's just a clear cohesion of sound and themes that the Hit-Boy albums didn't have. Nas is sharper because I'm pretty sure Preme was making him rewrite and rerecord verses, not letting him sleep walk through songs like he was doing on the last few.

It ain't a perfect record. Preme still got some misses but I also think he sounds rejuvenated on here too. Not just remaking Moment of Truth beat formula like he's been doing for 25 years.

Salute to two legends coming through
