*sighs* i cant lie, nas album don't really have replay value, something is missing...

!! it, on bx i always vow to always stay true and always keep an unbais opinion no matter what. I'm sticking to that. nas is my favorite artist but Ill be honest here. this album had everything for a classic, solid production, great lyrics, its smart and introspective, hardly any features.


but i don't know, I'm just not interested in this album like past nas records. i can play stillmatic, god son, illmatic, lost tapes everyday and not get tired of them. life is good is just missing something, i cant quite put my finger on it really.


I just don't feel anything from listening to it like all of nas albums after god son. I think beat selection plays a part. like i said the production is solid but the beats / lyrics combo just don't match. the only songs that i got that old school nas feeling from was trust,
loco-motive, daughters, bye baby, black james bond and a few others. hell the bonus records vibe together perfectly. the main album is what fail, its weird because the lyrics are classic on every track just about but the album just isn't comprehensive.


maybe i need more time but this is still nas best post god son work. i find my self still fiending for ross record when nas is my fave artist, that's not a good sign.


IMO he need to go back to primo, les,large pro and mix in some new guys

the og team just mix together well

God son is horrible wtf

i love it to from a a lyrical standpoint but yet its a chore to listen to, i almost have to fight and force my self to spin it in the headphones...the car is no problem because im focused on the road anyway



i let the bonus tracks flow tho, those sound great together

Yeah, this album has only gotten better for me over time and I've been jammin' it nonstop since it leaked. Literally nonstop lol. Oh well, may just be a personal thing inside of you that's not mixing with album. May just not be the album you need in your life at the moment so it's really not sticking with you like others would.

keeps getting better to me every listen, classic

Roses and Stay have been on repeat since I got the record

thats a good point....more i think about it that def plays apart

Agree to disagree. [pic]

I think it may the sequence of the album the 2nd part is too soft compared to 1st

i think track placement hurt the album the upbeat records shouldve blended more

Its not a perfect album X...

but it's still very good imo..

album been on repeat since last week mayne!!!

I agree with this.

But

overall the cd is good. definitely better than most cds that
ppl are calling classics these days

This is one of Nas' best albums. This album is for grown men..I can relate to everything he's been going through. The rhymes are on point beats are on point. I don't know what else you niccas want.

huh? This album has been getting great reviews.

I played it a few times...havent got chance to really get into it, been on my sade n steel pulse !! for the last two weeks so i havent been in hiphop mode...lig is dope,i just dont know how dope yet...
