I am sooooo fucking excited.

yeah this should be his best in years

Digging: Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

20 track albums

those are always a good idea

14*

everybody here is going to download the deluxe version and you know it

14 tracks or 20 tracks regardless this album is probably gonna suck

you sure we aren't all getting a little too excited about this?

I mean, I can't count a few times I heard 3 songs before an album came out and those ended up being the only ones worth a damn. Iunno man, I just unno

My avg rating of Nas after 10 albums (including the Damian Marley collab) is probably around a 4 so I think I'm justified to have big expectations.

Rap veteran Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones, simply known to fans as Nas

The three singles "Nasty", "The Don", and "Daughters" promise that Life Is Good will be a top tier record for Nas' career

I tried really hard you guys lol

gonna blow.

Digging: Faith No More - The Real Thing

D=

pro tip: news is supposed to be objective

I just thought you worded that sentence in a funny way, like only his fans call him Nas or something

Promises to be awesome, but we'll see

LOL now that's funny. Objectivity is a persons point of view.

I tried really hard you guys lol

Objectivity is a persons point of view.

Really have no idea why you bothered to come back

to be fair the article is probably accurate

top tier album for nas' career isn't saying that much

@illmitch Okay I'll be serious right now...I don't consider that a proper definition because I don't believe in objectivity. I could take away the "top tier" portion of the article, but all it says is the possibility this album would be one of his best not the best and it indicates there is always the possibility it wouldn't be one of his best. People are opinionated. Any culture is opinionated. Someone's opinion is a part of who they are as an individual and there is no correct way of behavior or decision-making to accuse someone of being objective. I really don't feel like explaining this further and having to give examples, but if I have to try and get the point across that's fine.

and to deviant and uhkris: I don't care what you think. I don't know why you would have a negative opinion on me maybe just because I like to give asinine comments or responses most of the time so that it confuses people but it really doesn't matter to me. I'm here to learn about new music and keep a track of ratings first and then reviews and comments second. I've done a lot of reviews and make a lot of comments during the periods I actually am doing those things on the site because guess what? I never left the site for a single day and no user here has any good reason to talk sh!t to me because that's just petty and sad. So feel free to respond but also feel free to kiss my ass because either way doesn't change how anything is.

you wrote that the presence of three singles which you apparently like means that this will be a "top tier record" for nas' career

are you retarded

It's not based off me liking them. I don't like "Daughters". It's about what I've seen people saying on the internet for the most part and what Nas has said. He said there's a lot of stuff from his past albums, mainly Untitled that when he went back and listened after a time he didn't see some as quality music for someone to want to listen to repeatedly and that's the mindset he went in for making Life Is Good and to show he's not in the same place as he has been for any of his previous records.

that's not the point you aspie

the quality of the album is irrelevant. this is a news article to inform people about the happenings in new music.

more excited for the new frank ocean album tbqh

Digging: Friendzone - Collection 1

Well it lets you know what the three singles are so someone can listen to one or all of them and they can decide for themselves if they're interested in the album or not. I assume people can make their own opinion but anywho I'm letting people know what the release date is, what the artwork is, what the tracklist is, and what the three songs that could be found streaming are titled. It's just one little portion of a sentence that isn't even a blaring opinion lol.

God damn you're fucking stupid, Storm.

lol

And here I was thinking Sputnik was on her period last week.

guys stop being dicks, you really are getting too worked up over this stuff

but anyway, I'm holding out mild excitement over this and honestly I don't give two shits about Nas' career or even Illmatic but from what I've heard/seen this might be really good. Also really happy that 40 is co-producing a track on this.

and the Accidental Murderers track was recently released and it's hot af. Rick Ross almost murks Nas on his own shit tbh.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuSQ-gyOm1g

I mean listen to this shit.

guys stop being dicks

Ross is pretty fucking good on that song. But he's still one of the shittest human beings in the music business.

"the Accidental Murderers track was recently released and it's hot af. Rick Ross almost murks Nas on his own shit tbh."

Not even close. That being said...

"Ross is pretty fucking good on that song."

^^^This.

"But he's still one of the shittest human beings in the music business."
I don't see how. There's the correctional officer thing but he never fucked anyone over in the industry and he's only really helped careers and been pretty cool as an actual person.

how do you rap about being a gangsta when you used to be
a correctional officer. starting beef with kreayshawn is lol to.

Niggas beefin'.

I like Nas' verse better than Ross'.

Just cam to say... article title is win.

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Those Rick Ross interviews are fantastic. The face bling. I have no words

I know right!? I was so convinced it was a parody the first time I watched it.

that's not the point you aspie

'the don' is still a badass track

"how do you rap about being a gangsta when you used to be a correctional officer. starting beef with kreayshawn is lol to."

there are plenty of corrupt CO's who'd move weight, it's not the same thing as being a police officer. The main thing I don't like about it is that he originally denied being one. And anyway the ppl in NWA and Mobb Deep lied about being hardass thugs when the worst they've probably ever done is sell a gram of weed for their friends.

yeah that's defs kinda dumb.

this isn't a circle jerk, these are supposedly legitimate news articles

UH OH TEH INTERNET POLICE IS OUT...TEH MEAN SERIOUZ BUZNESS

Digging: Soap and Skin - Sugarbread

Nasty only a bonus track? If that means the rest is better this is gonna be huge.

I'm fucking pumped for this, haters gon' hate. Loved Nasty and The Don.

Nas still one of the realest.

I'm with you 'Storm in a Teacup'

shut up wylie before I REPORTS JOOOOOO

WE TRIPPY MAINE!!!!

Heard there was going to be a Frank Ocean collab on this album. Doesn't look like it made the cut.

I have high hopes for this album.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Daughters is terrible. Not looking forward to this.

Digging: Twin Shadow - Confess

Will probably suck... :/

@gabe, would you care to touch on the lameness of his beef.

daughters is great, this article title is terrible

Nasty and Accident Murderer are great, The Don and Daughters are listenable, the other 16 tracks will most likely be filler and yea this article is terrible.

"@gabe, would you care to touch on the lameness of his beef."
whose beef?

did you fail to read over my whole statement you replied to?

ganggstaa

LOL remember the "Kanye vs 50" beef? News media and "interests" suck

wasn't 50 supposed to quit rapping if he lost?

hahahaha yeah but he says he never said that. They both now say they never said anything and it was all generated by the media to increase sales. Go figure

from being shot 9 times to commercials with joan rivers.

Don't forget he's Floyd Maywether Jrs best friend now and you don't wanta fuck with their set!

haha mayweather complained about prison food being bad.

I think he was in jail for one day before his lawers made a motion for him to be immediately released because his condition was fastly deteriorating and he would never be able to box professionally again.

sounds like a pampered pussy who shouldn't beat women.

Damn str8 the gangstas are the angels of earth

get rich or die tryin is still one of the best 2000s rap albums tbh

meh.

Get Rich is great. Prime 50's flow >>>>>

the only thing I remember is the beats.

The Don is a great song

don't really care for the other singles tbh

also, sputnik ruined yet another thread congrats you fuckers

I've only listened to Illmatic and love it. Anything else to be recommended?

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

It Was Written, Stillmatic and to not have Bill Hicks as your avatar.

Yeah dude that avy is not swag.

Like gabe said, but imo I would try Stillmatic first, then It Was Written second. IF you love thoses another favorite Nas album of mine is his collaboration with Damian Marley called, "Distant Relative". That was prolly my aoty for 2010.

I've only listened to Illmatic and love it. Anything else to be recommended?

what's wrong with stillmatic?

absolutely nuthin'!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-bA9FYB8HY

God's Son is a good listen regardless of only having 1 big single

Apparently he did Illmatic in its entirety at SXSW this year. i would enjoy seeing that.

agreed hard

what's wrong with stillmatic?

stillmatic is good

well when do you think nas fell off illmitch?

his beats fell off, not him

he fell off after it was written, stillmatic was the exception

Nas usually has pretty awful beat selection ability tbh

people are way too subjective on here
