Trapped in the 90s? Well luckily for you, Nas reunites with Large Professor on this record off his forthcoming set, Life Is Good. Sounds like Esco is on the right track.
Yall are some dum F&^Ks fo real… all hiphop can co exist at any time..The more the styles of it the better…

Wahab says:
My nigger NaS is back, word to mother I’m still trapped in the 90s
devon the elite says:
this is hiphop not that stupid rap 5 words then pause then rap another 5 words then pause flow that rick ross has ………. that u all b praisin ………. smh
M.T says:
thank god! I needed this after hearing that wack repetitive shit Ross put out. Nas is about to make a comeback. This shit is fire.
hxxvaz says:
This shit better get more comments than that weak Rick Ross song. Nas ain’t playin wit niggas!!!!!
AFRICANBOY says:
Just went to a listening session of the whole album at Universal France office in Paris, 1st hal of the album is the best i’d say, 2nd half is more mellow with a lotta singers handlin the hooks but Bye baby is nice, really talkin about his relationship with Kelis even mentionning her spazzin out in Miami, it’s mature hip hop overall, Rozay stans won’t like it
west says:
my gawwwd.dope
dopefiend says:
GOT DAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNN!!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!!
rahrahrah says:
Listening to the song again. It’s not that great, it’s just so much better than the trash that is coming out. I see why he says it’s for his trapped in the 90’s niggas. It’s because he’s done this before, and he’s probably done it better, so he’s going back and doing something that he can do effortlessly. But he’s right it’s not progress. He brags about people who tell their girls he scared them. he says he has rubies instead of diamonds. He says something blasphemous about God, having dirty pictures of God. He says how much reefer he smokes and that he sleeps with your girl because she’s trifling…
He says it all well and in a clever way and flows the only way Nas can, but again it’s not music that I can celebrate with family. Not like Distant Relatives. Some of the lines are nice but not enough?
Brahsef says:
As a teen I made 17000 livin in public housin. Absolute heat with a monster beat. This is an illmatic level track

…What? The beat is trash.

@rahrahrah Boastin been in raps since forever. Some of us liked to get geeked up when listenin to rap
And if you can’t hear the introspective shit in the 1st verse you’re just not listening
Truu says:
Nasty, The Don, Daughters, Accident murderers, Locomotive. Nasir is 5 for 5 deep. The best to ever do it.
This is fire. only problem i have with Life is Good is the weak album cover. all of his singles are dope tho
Donn says:
People want rap music to be ONE sided and that’s what keeps the genre from getting as much light as it deserves
People want every rapper to sound like Nas and Eminem. Dudes wanna go to the club and hear Talib Kweli and Mos Def lmao.
Like why can’t niggas listen to EVERYBODY and appreciate all different styles. Always wanna divide the culture. Nas is dope and we have all known that for YEARS. Its nothing new. I expect greatness from a nigga that’s been the game as long as he has
It’s something about new cats that is more interesting cus u get a chance to watch another star grow into a legend from the bottom. That’s why nothing Nas or Jay does excites me anymore
Get Real says:
This album better win some awards dammit!!! #WinnerWinner
The problem is a lot of these new rappers ain’t droppin dope music how people like Nas, Jay Z and Eminem was doing when they were younger. It’s just too much average music now days

@African boy, wat u doing in Paris? I thought u was in Lagos or sm ishh like dat? lol. But if u serious abt being at the listening session, wat did Cherry wine and Summer on smash sound like, peeps that heard em hyping both tracks like crazy? Hola.

“It’s something about new cats that is more interesting cus u get a chance to watch another star grow into a legend from the bottom.”

more like you want to dickride whoever is hot and has buzz and diminish the fact that he/she is dropping garbage cuz thats what u and alot of niggas are doing today.
rahrahrah says:
@Brahsef
I said it was clever, I said it’s not that great, what I said is that he’s saying stuff I’ve heard him say quite a few times before, and that I can’t recommend this or listen to this with my family. Yeah he has some positive things in there, that’s Nas. He’s not a ignoramous.
Listen to illuminati by Homeboy sandman, that’s something I can recommend to my dad, and the kids I tutor. It’s just beautiful. I can recommend Patience with Nas and Damian Marley to my kids, and my Dad as well. I’m just saying that this is not something I’m going to run and recommend to anyone.
Listen to Impossible by Wu-Tang. I typed that shit out and was trying to break it down like Revelations to people. All I’m saying is that this is some B or B+ work, but it isn’t any more than that.

I’m loving the 90’s inspired track. Nas is one of the most inspirational rappers in the music industry. For him to be in the game for 20 years and still be relevant really means a lot. I’m looking forward to ‘Life Is Good’. http://yodonbleekraps.com/
