#LIFEISGOOD!
The album is nice
139 ? shit.what happened?he’s one of the best rappers
50 does 160k its a flop but bad does 139k and its ok??? I’m confused.
word to Billy D. it’s called hate/double standard.
If Nas did this Officer Ricky wil def do 250
first nas album since stillmatic i havent bought day 1, waiting on a check to cop this and havent even bothered streaming or listening till i cop it this weekend. NAS is the goat and inspired my other faves such as pun, terror squad, prodigy even jigga
Good Nas deserve it
This is Hip Hop. Fuck MainStream Hip Hop!
Congrats to Nas. HAHA@”ross 250k-300k first week just watch”. MMG stans/groupies are delusional like William L. Roberts.
^^^ FOREAL !!! NAS WILL GO GOLD IN A MTH!! WAIT TILL IT STARTS SPREADING HOW GOOD THIS ALBUM REALLY IS…PLUS @ MORE SINGLES FOR NAS!!! SUMMER ON SMASH NEXT UP!!!
good stuff
Congrats to Nas! first album I bought since Cole’s and it was worth every penny. This is definitely the best album of 2012 so far and my second fav Nas album after God’s Son.
Congrats to Nas. The quality definitely boasted sales. I was thinking 80k last month before he started releasing a slew of good music.
As for Ross, I gonna set the goal at 200k. Love him or hate him, Rozay is one of the biggest stars in hip-hop right now, it would bad look if he didn’t. I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t sale that much tho.
More than 2 decades in the game. Respect is due! Wish we had Coltrane, Marley, Hendrix for this long, some of the greatest to ever do it in their respective genres. One love.
Still haven’t bought the album yet though…
@billy dee it’s not hate Nas is special because he makes the music he wants which is amazing to have number 1 albums and not conform 50 tries to conform to sell albums so his and Nas goals are different 50’s a buisness man Nas is a artist but no hate for 50 though they just have different priorities
What’s crazy though, is there is probably million folks that have the album right now.
NY!
Classic album, no question. Well deserved.
50 can’t even do 160k free downloads in one week right now! That murder by numbers trash ain’t move shit. Plus his budgets are way bigger gtfoh with that
@ CROMER BEATS you didn’t make a beat for the album?
Guess you wasting your time posting those beats. Back to the basement you go. Ha
William L. Roberts has never sold over 200K first week#FACT
CONGRATS TO NAS UR ALREADY DOUBLE PLATINUM IN THESE STREETS…THIS NIGGA HAS ABOUT 4 TO 5 CLASSIC SOLID ALBUMS…AS FOR ROSS HE DOING ABOUT 300K FIRST WEEK IF THE SELF MADE 2 COMP DID 100K FIRST WEEK OVER 300K ISNT FAR FETCHED FOR ROSS
NAS THE G.O.A.T
If that fat fake fuck Rick Ross outsells Nas then Hip Hop truly is dead
Dope album. Deserves a #1.
congrats Nas. you deserve it.
There’s no double standard. You gotta adjust your expectations based on the artist. Imean, not everybody that doesn’t do a mill first week like Taylor Swift or Adele is considered a flop, and based on the artist certain sales ppl consider low are good.
If Adele did this? Huge flop. Terrible based on her standards. Same goes with Eminem and GaGa. But.artist like Cole Wale Wiz Mac Miller and so on touching 100k is great cuz their sales standards are low. Most would expect 40k from Nas. 139k is great. But for 50? After boasting bout his sales the last decade? This would be pathetic for him.
plus Nas ain’t got 6,000,000!! followers on twitter…
Nas got 757,739 twitter followers…..and millions of fans who dont even use twitter. he should have at least broke 200k….
we gotta do a better job of supporting the culture!
i purchased the album off itunes, so its not like im preaching just to preach.
[…] [via RapRadar] […]
nas is a rebel. the guy named an album nigga you think he chases record sales? you heard him say we don’t chase pop pop chases us, that’s a good number for him
Nas been that dude he never fell off to me I always fucks with dude.
Got the album Friday and the first thing I said was “Esco back on his sh#t!.” Fav Nas albums of all time= Stillmatic, God’s Son, “N”, It Was written, Life Is Good. I refuse to ever burn a Nas record while most of these new niggaz ain’t even worth a blank disc! G.O.A.T
[…] sharing pics!! Saw this on Rap Radar!! Shout to Elliott Wilson!! […]
Classic albums have long legs
^great quote i must say.. btw i ordered the collectors edition, with shirt and personalised notebook. and i will probably buy he’s album again on itunes, no stan just a fan of real artists who put their hart into it!
Good shit Nas!
I feel bad it’s only 139000. Too many kids still on that YMCMB bubble gum shit. Fuck em
hmmmmmm in this era offical can not do more than 180k most hood nigggas will dl for free
Life is Good = Classic
CLASSIC FUCKING ALBUM…..SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER AND ITS EASILY THE BEST ALBUM TO DROP THIS YEAR. FROM BEGINNING TO END THE LYRICS AND PRODUCTION ARE DOPE. NAS DELIVERED. CANT SAY THE SAME FOR YOU OTHER CLONES RAPPERS. STEP YOUR SHIT UP.
DON’T FORGET CRUEL SUMMER & good kid mAAd city NEXT MONTH !!! FUCK EVERYONE ELSE !!
Life is good and Hip-Hop ain’t dead !
5 Nas most blasphemous lyrics : http://leblacketlaplume.com/2012/07/07/5-nas-most-blasphemous-lyrics/
hahahahahahahahha you a dumb fuck…….first off all ^^^^^^^
rick ross never sold over 200k on his album first week… what makes him goin to sell 250-300k now… you dumb fuck JEEZY DOES 233K easy gold 4weeks easy…. ross will not do that shit
I’m proud of Nas. He stayed TRUE to his hip hop roots despite the pop garbage we hear & see everyday. He stayed far away from GAY MONEY & plenty of ppl (especially the streets) are very happy about that. The album is crazy, you don’t have to skip any song. *throws confetti*
I agree that 50 and Nas got two different goals but cmon…Before I Self Destruct moved 166k and it leaked 1 month early and the budget on that album sucked…Iovine didnt give a shit about that album….Nas is a legend…but so is 50 in his own lane…just kills me with the high standard for 50 when people claim everybody is else is so much better than him yet cant break 200k. With all the industry behind Ross if he dont do 400k he is a failure….MMG will fall apart as soon as Meek comes in August and roasts his own boss in sales.
Best Album out this year!!
Life is Good is awesome. And that’s saying the least. Go buy it. It’ll be gold in a month. Even faster if Def Jam does a ‘Daughters’ remix W/ Hov & Em. Just saying.
RapRadar, you post a picture of Nas with 3 other people and expect us to know who they are and why you are using that picture?
Worlds an addiction feat. anthony hamilton is straight fire!!!!!

This is actually a shame! He puts out the BEST Hip Hop album of the last 7,8 years and people don’t even support it. SMH…Hip Hop fans can be the worst. Put your money where your mouth is! Should’ve pushed 300-400K 1st week off the quality of the album.
Classic!
Black Excellence #congrats #life is good # I brought the album
politic for nas. every nigga I talked to I asked did they buy the album and told em to go buy that bitch. we the fans and the ones that make the culture relevant gotta do our part stop being cheap. a nigga wont get caught dead wearing bootleg J’s and Mike dont give really give a fuck about Black people or minorities in general. just ask and tell mafuckas to go and buy that album erybody might not have it at the time just keep it on ya circles mind. to at least send a message to the industry cause like it or not these dudes and females are our public speakers of today: the malcolms, martins, stokelys, seales, clevers, newtons, baldwins, and davis’ and all the ones who arent known yet
for the future
Much respect to Nas every album Platinum. Keep up the good work and continue to spread knowledge for generations to come.
first week sales are irrelevant to someone like nas.
Gods son didnt sell like that either 1st week but it went double platinum in a month.
There are some true IDIOTS on the forum…Nas has the # 1 album in the country!!!! Name a legendary hip hop artist with 20 years in the game selling 149k? Billboard reporting that Nas did 149k first week! While you haters try to discredit Nas’ sells he continues to make millions & succeed!
dude always kept it real and true to hip-hop. much respect.
@Jayman not trying to sound offensive but “Hip-Hop Is Dead” n “Ni**er” are both Gold…and this will go Gold although it deserves to reach Platinum sales.
Fxcking Aye!!! Proud to be apart of these record sales! Might buy the actual physical copy this week! Nas deserves this! Take that Kelis!! Lol
Nas keep winning
tyga sold 40k ?right so miss me with the ymcmb talk
Nice!
Nas made a Dope Album.
I got it, and felt like I got my money’s worth.
Sometimes it pays to have integrity.
FTW
nas is a living legend, he is part of the reason hip hop is growing as a form of art and music.
Congrats to The Don Nas.
I slept this album initially. I’m glad I woke the fuk up…

@everyone saying it’s a shame and how it’s weak numbers for an album that is so good and the best of this year and whatever…
Quality shows in sales over a long term, marketing and gimmick show in first week. If the album is so good that you all keep saying it and spreading the word, it will keep on selling good numbers week after week after week backed up by word of mouth about it’s quality and maybe a future single and tour.
Gimmick and marketing sells high numbers first week and then has an 80% drop the second week, by the third it’s barely selling anything.
Also, someone mentioned a wishful Daughters remix with Em and Jay. Nas already said talked about it in an interview about a week or two ago, and said he thought of that idea too but that Em declined because he felt he had talked about that subject too much already and Jay couldn’t do it due to ”busy schedule” or something.
@ Billy D
are you serious right now?
@pienman10
yo… congrads 2 the brotha! i am a customer included with that tally… already purchased the album
Damn. thats a win for NAS. who was expecting these numbers? definitely not me.
frank^^ young jeezy does 233k easy : ) ):):):) just cuz ross and em dont sell over 200k means its hard
congratz!! go out and support our brotha
@jungle you dont know shit. the lost tape downloaded over 350k in its first week and now its on 515k. 50 gonna come back with his upcomin album better than ever. just watch how things gonna change.
NAS is the true G.O.A.T congrats homie,most people in the world are followers on trash of coarse
officer ricky or non substance rapper will do good cause people dont like to think they rather let TRASH fill there mind. If trash is what you put in your body of coarse shit comes out.The devil has more followers cause the world is in a pool of trash. IM A SOLDIER OF SUBSTANCE!! cause good over weights bad in the end TRUST.
150 sounds a lot better
Congrats Nasir.
noone buy that gay rick ross album pls, thank u

Reblogged this on Hip Hop 'Til You Drop and commented:
Nas’ 10 solo album– he’s still doing it! and doing it well. Coming from the era of Biggie and Pac, Nas still is respected in the real hip hop ring and nothing is more real than that. Awesome post.
nas. niggas against society. the god.
