This was just a great album that covered different subject matters going on in his life at the time and ended off on a high note. What more do we want from him?

Nas has said continually that he plans on rapping until he's 80 so there is no retirement in sight
And hopefully he does. We as fans need to get rid of this rap is a young mans game mentality and support rappers as they age. Every other form of music does it, it would be nice to have a Johnny Cash of rap one day.

But on the flip the aging rappers need to mature and not find themselves at 45 rapping about the same things they did at 30. Rap about being a grandfather, or the prospect of dying of old age instead of through guns or drugs, or nostalgia, or whatever. Age gracefully through the music. Nas is on the right track with this, especially after Life is Good.

Grown man rap. In fact, I really cant think of another Hip Hop record that embraces 30ish living. To be fair Jay has been forthcoming in his music regarding his age. He really has, but its easier and more natural to relate to Nas.

He might be rapping but he may not necessarily be dropping albums. Nas could be done in that department, in which case OP is right that Life is Good would make a fine last album.

I don't think he will stop releasing albums any time soon e seems to be the type to put music out because he actually loves the craft. Artists in other genres go 10-15 years without albums as they get older. I hope it never gets that long for new Nas but I can wait as long as I have to because I know the quality will always be high

He's going to drop another one breh. When I don't know. But he'll definitely drop another one. Hell I actually think he'll drop several more over the next 10 years.

He's got one more album contractually under Def Jam.

He signed a deal through Mass Appeal (Distributed through Sony) to release music, which includes Lost Tapes 2. Mass Appeal is still slated to drop a compilation. DJ Premier has spoken about the Nas collaboration album and hinted it might be started on when Nas leaves Def Jam. There are literally ENDLESS possibilities for an artist as creative as Nas to go with.
