Nas aged like a fine wine, Album of the year.

This is a personal ‘mature’ album with throwback stories, and apart from Swizz Beatz, the features were well chosen. The production is also sublime, which has always been something people pick at with Nas. On a side note, the 19th bonus track 'Trust' is a masterpiece.

I must say Mr. Brown, that's quite a bit of blunts.

[Hysteria 159]

Mind Blown.

Mind Blown.

Indeed, that track is quite possibly the greatest piece of music of the last decade.

Masterpiece.

I can only agree, best album of 2012 so far.

I'm just about to start going through the album now. I'm disappointed 'Trust' never made the cut because it's great.

This track makes me sleepy (in a good way):

I've just had a sparring session with one of the most respected Hip Hop reviewers, the needle drops Anthony Fantano aka 'the Internet's busiest music nerd'. Oddly.. he's now started following me.

*A result of his controversial review of Nas' album..*

[Kieran. 6,317]

Music is subjective...

[Term-X 7,891]

He's one of the most respected reviewers for a reason, he just has an irrational dislike for Nas.

XXL gave it a flawless review..

Nas - Life Is Good is best album in years and another classic dropped by Nas. Sooo fcking dope!! This is what tell you Nas is the best rapper. So many years in, still real, still his thing, and still so huge quality. Daughters, Back when, No Introduction...if you love rap, you gotta buy this sh.t. Simple.

Nas for real should teach those wannabe modern rappers how to rap...

I don't like Nas album and I don't know why. Maybe It will grow on me later, when I will listen it more.

EDIT: I have to say, it was the same with Section 80, but after few listening sessions it's GOAT album for me.

Incredible.

"If Big & Pac was alive I’d probably go to war with em‘ and make them commit suicide"

I’m burning up in my tux, I’m sure that wouldn’t suit you, I’m used to silent cries of violence

Tap my feet to a murder, then my head to a siren, It’s wicked

It’s as wicked as voodoo, or swine flu sickness, but I can manage

Just give me a beat and let me get at it, when the day breaks.”

Dizaster vs Jay Legend drops in a few hours! Cant wait!

[jmarlow 458]

Dizaster showing once again why he is the best in the world!

[Term-X 7,891]

Pleasantly surprised by this, the best I've heard from 50 in a long time.

GZA's reissue of Liquid Swords got 10/10 from Pitchfork Media. This reissue looks impressive.
