I'll cosign the OP. What took this thread so long? I've been bumping life is good for a while now. Very mature album I love it definitely a classic. Lupe is good, but a bit overrated around these parts.
Yeah Life is Good is a mature album for Nas. Alot of people weren't feeling the Daughters song, but I loved it
Whats your list of best Nas albums?
Mine is
1. It Was Written
2. Illmatic
3. Life is Good
4. Stillmatic
5. Untitled
how can you make a list of nas' albums and not have illmatic at #1?!?! that was one of the most influential albums in all of hip hop!
btw, i love it was written as well, but it cant compare to illmatic imo
It Was Written and Illmatic are always neck and neck to me. Personally Illmatic changed my perspective on life
But as far as which album is better, I gotta say It Was Written. Its more cinematic, Nas stepped up lyricism another notch, legendary lol
