Hours before the release of Nas’ album, Life Is Good, Team Epiphany spearheaded the Moët Rose Lounge event last night in NYC’s meatpacking district. Yours truly bailed at the last minute, but Hov, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, Jermaine Dupri, Swizz Beatz, No I.D. and a host of others were in attendance. Q-Tip and DJ Wonder handled DJ duties. Here are a few pics from the night’s festivities.

  33. Real Deal says:

    Nas is the GOAT. I’m going to cop the album today!

  34. That Guy says:

    1. Nas, you’re that guy.
    2. I know it’s in the past, but I can’t help but think that during that embrace between Nas and Jay, at least once they just thought…….”ether.”

  35. banks919 says:

    aight yall seen the photos now go support Nas and buy the album

  36. haharollin says:

    only half way in and this shit is classic. man… the music is f’in GREAT. I’m just glad there was some real content from a great artist yall. Big shout out to Nas. Classic g. Classic. This is Grammy material. Once u listen ull see what i mean.

  37. pienman says:

    this looked like a star studded affair for “life is good”

  38. Stevie J's facial expressions says:

    @Miya Don’t you mean Shawn Costner… I know that’s not Fat Joe it was a joke
    How are you gonna correct me and get the name wrong and say STEVE PECAS.

  39. devon hova says:

    @ stevie j’s cosign track 9 – u wud not understand , got a real 90s vibe to it especially when the chorus kicked in …………

  40. Stevie J's facial expressions says:

    @devon hova track 9

    Breaks: Let’s start love over

  41. YR says:

    bet money No I.D. is gay

  42. Y'ALL DON'T GET IT says:

    lol who care if no ID is gay or not. we’re speaking about music here. he’s one of the best producers imo. I could care less about him being gay he still makes good ass music.

  43. hxxvaz says:

    Hopefully this celebration made Jay wanna go to the studio and make some hard core brooklyn shit after hearin Life is Good.

  44. B. shorty says:

    ^^^ CO-SIGN, but atleast we got some great music from nas, hopefully this does inspire hov to hop back in the studio soon

  45. SkidaRoc says:

    @lilrizq I think it was on purpose to give the album and old school gritty sound. Tracks like “Back When”(which sounds like a less lyrical Memory Lane) are mixed to have that gritty sound same with “Loco-motive”. This album is fire tho, appreciate Nas for this album. The game needs this.

  46. MR.M says:

    G.O.A.T. nuff said…

  47. Blaxdon says:

    That new Nas is Fire…………Glad he found peace he’s on that illmatic,stillmatic,godson flow. I Hear this TDE nigga’s name been ringing bells right? So I check out that Swimming pools DRANK shit. It was aight. But not only was he was not only saying something I had heard before,but By an MC who did it better. Still does today.Not to mention I couldn’t fuck wit or agree with that drink until you can’t see or hear shit vibe. Not as a grown black man in 2012. Not to mention he just wasn’t as nice. Yeah I said it that Kendrick Lamar kid is aight but he ain’t got it like that. I played Nas Trust next and we needless to say it was no contest at all. Nas Shitted on that Nigga. Whole life is good album is fucking crazy. I see you new school J.cole,odd future,Drake,Big sean,Nicki minaj,kid cudi etc…with all that being said I dare say they may need to step it up. I’m just saying Nas, Jay,Big Pun,Outkast,tupac,. Niggaz used to come a little harder with their albums yes that means you too Wayne. Just a thought. I see Nas turning it up, I see Kanye revving engines,, but I also see Nicki phoning in that second album, I these weak ass singles from Kendrick Lamaar, is Wale getting tired already. Only new school niggaz reppin’ this summer as far as I am concerned is Meek Mill (been bumping the hell out his mixtape) and Drake. Hip Hop you are under attack and it seems to me only the real niggaz b(Kanye ,Nas,) see that shit right now

  48. Killa says:

    Jayz “Memba that time I fucked yo bitch?!”
    Nas “Yeahhhhh”
    Jayz “How bout the time i sampled your lyrics for my song?”
    Nas “Yeahhhh”
    Jayz “And then I signed you to def jam?”
    Nas “Yeaaahhhh”
    Nas & Jayz “Life is goooooodddd!!!!”

  49. Clos1881 says:

    Who be inviting the chick from 3lw everywhere?

  50. The N says:

    Cant humbled the disgruntle i come through confront ya let nothing slide sly remarks you mus wana die fronting why when we all know you pumking pie

  51. R says:

    Nas must like the way Gayz tastes this album is overrated nothing to hear hear u can hear it for free on spotify

  52. dmfslimm says:

    @killa *dead*..

  53. NickeyNegrito says:

    @ Killer lmao

    Nas album is definitely fresh and lyrically superior to a lot of albums out already.

    Cherry Wine would be the the flagship song for LIFE IS GOOD. That Amy Whinehouse sample is crazy. That song is dope. Nas did it up.

    @Hxxvac…i hope Jay does make a seriously nice album like Nas album. Basically continue the vibe of Nas album.

    I hope my boy Meek take notes and make more self reflection songs like USE TO BE and DREAMCHASING, on the same level as Nas. I think he could.

  54. Itz Yourz says:

    Grown Man Shit going on here.

    Glad to see Nas and Jay wasnt fronting for the public when they said they squashed there beef.

    Life is Good is an album most of us been looking for, for a long time from these rappers. Good looking out Nas hopefully you will inspire others to follow the sentiment “to thine Own Self Be True”

  55. leafy says:

    Nas- so how u like ma album
    Jay- its alright i mean its not the throne
    Nas- not the throne, its better then that shit
    Jay- come on, me and kanye doin big things
    Nas- dont make me ether your ass again jay Jay- im jus playin, no need for that

  56. Showboat says:

    I just finished listening to the album. Its amazing man. Why would you ever buy a Lil’ Wayne album after listening to this?

  57. leafy says:

    best album since stillmatic ….maybe even it was written……….top 4 album for NaS

  58. giggidy says:
