Still can't believe Aaron Hall is in this shit.

nas is good but bad. he hardly ever changes his flow, dynamic, voice. One Mic he finally slowed down and showed some emotion, but everything else is so similar to each other

Glad he's good again.

I think with the new album he's solidified himself as a great. Production, flow, beats, lyrics all top notch.

Been proven to be one of the greats since Illmatic in '94. Hate to be that guy, but.. yeah.

One album doesn't make you a great. Um that's not me, Jay Z said that about Naz.

/that other guy

Firm-Phone Tap was legit though.

Guess so. Jay-Z chooses better production and experiments with his flows more. I'll take that argument. But Nas is possibly one of the main influences for most of these dudes today putting out true lyricism. Jay is too though. I feel you.

Once you check out Life Is Good, I'm sure you'll agree it's at LEAST two albums now. I'd argue five great albums.

Still less than Jay though.

I haven't liked a Jay Z album post blue print, but he's still arguably the best because he experiments and adapts. You are spot on. Naz is amazing, and Jay Z wouldn't be easily the better rapper if Naz changed his flow now and then. when he did on One Mic it was a chart topper, he just has to remember to change it up.

I'll definitely check it out. He's been getting a lot of radio play on XM so I want to think that they're really going to/continue to push this album.

Hardknock Life (song)- example of Jay changing his flow for each verse. The last verse kills me every time.

favorite song, glad he mades it into a video

"One album"

Lol

Nas will go down as one of the greats. Lyrically, he's only second to Rakim in my eyes.

This album rules.
