Nas - Life Is Good Discussion

Listening now... will post thoughts later.

No Introduction - Daughters is all dope.

Reach Out - You Wouldn't Understand is meh or garbage.

Back When - Bye Baby is all dope.

My conclusion, he shouldn't have had all those guest features and cheesy ass hooks. The album starts really strong and ends really strong but that **** in the middle... smh.

The bonus tracks (Nasty, The Black Bond, Roses, Where's the Love) are all good-great. I think I'm just going to make a playlist without the middle of the album and replace those missing tracks with the bonus tracks.

Overall, 7/10. Solid album, I just really can't **** with those 4 songs. Without those 4, this would have been one of the better albums of the year imo. It starts off with a really dope mafioso/old school feel and ends on some slightly heavier, emotionalish, but the middle is just a big pile of WTF :|.

if pooz is saying 7/10 im thinking im gonna hate it when i cop it within the next week or so.

in the mean time, i think the schoolboy Q, waka flocka and Lil' B tapes will suffice as my favorites of the year in rap.

The album is actually nice to me. I really enjoy Nas when he's off that preachy save-the-world BS and just raps.....only song the album I can't see myself not skipping ever is Summer on Smash. I don't see where Miguel's relevance mattered in the song

Not too keen on Reach out and Summer on smash but the rest is crazy. Can't stop listening to Queen's story, Stay and Cherry wine.

Ivy League by Cyhi The Prynce is still my mixtape of the year so far. STOP SLEEPING ON HIM

This album is horribly tedious. 

Some good songs here and there, but after Daughters ends as a whole it falls apart. Way too many sung choruses from that point on, and most of them either straight up suck, or don't fit with the song at all. 

Beats are better than they have been on his last few albums, but many of them don't seem to fit him.

Oh, and Daughters has got kinda repetative too. 

P.S. Rick Ross's verse on Accident Murderers is beautifully off topic lol.

P.P.S. Loco-Motive is dope, but do we really need Large Pro talking some BS on a track he's meant to be featured on? Spit a verse or STFU.
