Definitely best solo album since Stillmatic. In some ways an even better album than that (Nas' total energy on delivery, album cohesion and overall musically; tho Still probably still had the best individual beats on the really good ones and had an ill concept track that seems to be missing here).

both came out while I was in college...i havent played either in a while but I remember playing god son more.

the stillmatic intro was the shyt though
stillmatic is definitely better

id ont even think this can be disputed

Album is heat. Life is Good is slightly better than Untitled which i hold in high regard.

Outside of concept tracks, this album is definitely better than Untitled. Lyrics for nas is always there and I'm still letting this album sink in on that aspect, so I won't compare that, but otherwise:

Better beats
Way more blackout Nas flows
More cohesive
Less weak tracks, despite having more tracks overall
Better overall guest appearances

I don't think it's even a question really.
