Nas - Life Is Like A Dice Game (feat. Cordae & Freddie Gibbs)

[Yayo Toure]

This is God shyt. What other rapper alive can do this?

 

[Izanami]

Gibbs sound too excited to get on the track with Nas and over did it. Cadence and delivery was far from his smoothest.

Could've swore I heard this before Illmatic came out, and not in 1995 as they are presenting it as.

Agreed. Doesn’t Nas say in the bonus verse original recording hit the street in ‘93?

He said he doesn't remember the exact details, prolly just threw out '93 for the sake of the rhyme and because it was in the right ballpark. But he references Destiny's birth, and she wasn't born until '94. And generally, Easy Mo Bee's style didn't get West Coast-sounding with the synths and stuff like this beat until '95

Me, I just couldn't get into his music. This is by far the best verse he ever spit to me. And the beat isn't corny or weird.

he's not corny or weird. that's not even an original opinion on his music.

Just went back and listened to the original..Beat is sick. The fact that it didn't make it on Illmatic or any album

 

[malbaker86]

I think there was a version on Nas demo in 93 (and there as a Nas demo leaked tape that started surfacing around the early 00s which claimed all the songs were from pre-illmagic with it) but even in the orginal version you find online/youtube for years he shouts out Destiny who was born in 94, so who knows if it was in the Illmatic sessions or the It Was Written sessions. Maybe there was an earlier version

Here is what I am wondering: How does the relative success and hype of this new version of Life is Like a Dice Game, impact future LT volumes?

literally no other rapper could do this

only die hard fans like yourself and I and others here, really care about future Lost Tapes

whenever Nas drops LT3, it's strictly for his fanbase, and he probably knows that
