I don't get it.. Is it people that diss Nas or people that NAs diss? -
I've listened to the album 4 times and I must say, I'm diggin it. I feel like SOS is probably the weakest track on the joint, but even that has a place. I listened to the track in the whip and enjoyed it a lot more. As far as its ranking on my personal list, I put it 5th beneath Ill, Lost Tapes, IWW and Still.
I think Nas has done a fine job in making this album. Happy to see a vet take this much pride in his craft. -
Bonus track off the iTunes version of Life is Good available July 17.

I'm not gonna say anything because I havent done the album justice, listening wise.
I think the album starts off on a strong note though..
"Loco-Motive" is my joint right now, until further notice.
I love it, love the old school grimy feel to it.
Sounds like something off It Was Written.
Somewhere in the middle I felt something was off, maybe because I was in a rush and just skimming through.
But off initial contact, it sounds good.

In the Rolls Royce like the King of Nigeria

I dont care what no one says Nas last verse on Accident murderers was fire.... He spits great on the album but his beat selection will alienate a lot of folk. Im a Nass fan so it dont matter. Id rather him do him with maybe 2 or 3 southern beats....

Nas stuck with the theme on that song, Rozay's verse is out of place.
You featured on a Nasir Jones album and you come with that ? ?

On every NaS solo album since Biggie's death, he has mentioned the emcee in tribute or by using some of his Legendary Bars. He also appeared on both Biggie Posthumous LP's. On "Life Is Good" NaS mentions Biggie on 3 songs. Rap Genius caught up with NaS to speak on some advice Biggie gave him a long time ago:

"No Introduction" - "Remember talking to Biggie inside is Lex Truck, Said stay fly even when you bummy, keep your pajama's Armani. (Click on these lyrics to see NaS's interview)
"NaSty" - "Bumping Biggie The Great Legend, I'm trying dig into the actress that played Faith Evans"
Cherry Wine" - "An Immaculate version of Me and My ? by Biggie with all respect cause you the only one that gets me"
I dont recall Nas ever using Biggies bars.. EVER...
I think U have him mixed up with that other great rapper from NYC... -

"write in my little vignettes, sipping moet
? when you vision me, you vision the best
when i was young the called me olu's son
now he's nas father, i was the good seed
he was the wise gardener"
"when you're too hood to be in the hollywood circles
and you're too rich to be in the hood that birthed you
and you become better than the legends
you thought were the greastest
and out grow the women you thought you would stay with
life becomes clearer when you wipe down your mirrior"

I tried to do the same ? bruh ..... bumped it about 5 times in different situations ....finally realized it just wasn't going to happen in its natural state.... so i had to do some Dr.90210 on this ? and reconstructed the playlist ...trust me it makes the album more enjoyable ....at least you can play this ? all the way thru...
1.No Introduction
2.Loco-Motive
3.Nasty
4.Daughters
5.The Don
6.The Black Bond
7.Worlds An Addiction
8.Back When
9.Wheres The Love
10.Stay
11.Roses
12.Bye Baby
You gotta cut that ? out of the original track list .... get it down to the best songs with a good sonic flow.... and those last three end up playing out like a story ....this here has improved the album to me ...where i can actually play it and not skip thru a bunch of tracks or get bored to death ... -
Still gonna wait til Tuesday
-
Still feel like some of these beats are so-so considering the names involved (i was expecting OBFCL2 level production) but mannnnnnn this is a chill album
? BUCKWILD!!!!!!!! "You Wouldn't Understand" sound like "Fast Life pt. 2" -
I been on the album for 2 days just switched to a different play list just for now
-
deathrowzorrow are you going to address the homosexual message you sent to me?
how am i supposed to be a ? when i'm your father -
alright, my problems with the album:
"No Introductions" - I expect MUCH better from Justice League.
"World's An Addiction" - overproduced, syrupy, pretentious strings
"Summer On Smash" - between this and the new Slaughterhouse single, what the ? happened to Swizz Beats?
"Accident Murderers" - not as good as Triple Beam Dreams lol
"Loco-Motive" - shouldn't be track 2
really, other than that.............man this album is ?
