Ye better get on that good music stuff for these unreleased tracks
pete, if kanye wanted to make a anti-soul album and make these hits, he needed more metal influence. He isn't fit to do a darkwave album.

I agree the reason it got XXL and other accolades was because Nas finally made a good album with some great production. Last time he had a album like that was God's Son.

I've still yet to hear this album. Not like I don't want to listen to it. I am just super lazy about it.
I'd give it a solid b honestly.
didn't even grab it earlier, if I had known he was on it I would have. Guess I'll need to fix that.
Soul's on it too.
lets not get ahead of ourselves and call God's Son a good album now
Life is Good was excellent. Is excellent. A vibrant return to form for Nas after a string of losses. It executes what it wants to do to a great degree - in my opinion more than Ye trying to push a new sound with Yeezus.
Basically an album full of Let Nas Down level beasting. It's all anyone wants; although I can see how some would find that tiring over a full album.

Were all decent. If he switched up some production and cut it to 10 tracks it could have been a solid album. Gets way more hate then it deserves.

Life Is Good was aaaaaaaaaaight. Not even top 10 material from 2012. I really liked a few tracks on there, but the rest of it left me a little bored. I agree with Esch that the middle was not good, and the end was only good if you account for the deluxe edition tracks. At least that's how I remember it. Maybe I should play it again to make sure.
Distant Relatives >>> Life Is Good

I fucks with Dance (hugely underrated), Heaven (love the flow) and his verse on thugz mansion is crazy good.
DR is a classic.
Slow claps.

Get Down, The Cross, Made You Look, Last Real Nigga Alive, I Can, Thugz Mansion, Revolutionary Warfare, Warrior Song, Dance, Heaven. God's Son is a very solid album despite a couple duds (that horrible Swiss Beats track, Pussy Killah, Zone Out).

Forgot about Dance and ^^^^ The Cross now that Ace mentions it. Might throw it on tonight later on.
Distant relatives was ruined by Nas. Good album blighted by his stupid fucking lyrics.
is this real? I hope so

So would most people. Stillmatic is a great album, God's Son is a good/solid album.
What a shame Nas had to scrap so much of I Am, or else it would have been amazing.

Is this a unpopular opinion? I love Stillmatic.

Easily, at least the filler tracks on there are passable.

In terms of rapping, sure, but American Gangster is better than the last 5 Nas solo albums. I don't care if it's a retread of concepts.

Distant relatives became a classic for me after seeing it live. Sure they had the lights and projections you expect in an arena show but the real stars were Nas, Damien and the Marley's band including the backing singers and hypeman who never stopped swinging that flag. Watching the beats performed with live instruments was incredible and it made me appreciate the energy behind them. The show didn't have one lull and Nas performing one mic while he was back to back with the bongo player sent chills down my spine. The life is good show wasn't as hype as DR. That album is special and while Nas never went to the level we know he is capable I think he was sold throughout with some inspired verses and concepts. The chemistry with Damien is fantastic, as reflected in some of their back and forths. I must say he deserves most of the credit he retained his musical roots while adapting it masterfully for hiphop. I hope they work together as much as I want Nas and Premier to get in the studio.
