    1. Woulda been better if Wayne and Tyga was on the track, production from Cool & Dre woulda been betta too, Nicki on the hook, shit woulda been bomb

      1. absolutely not. not at all. just stop. Nas does not need ANYONE to make his song better, especially none of the horrible entertainers you mentioned.

      2. i cant believe how many people lack “common” sense. you guys a fucking idiots for responding to a troll. like seriously.. how fucking stupid are you? jesus fucking christ my niggas. smarten up!

    2. okey…now your starting to leak too much, this some bullshit fuck u HIPHOPDX. Im not even going to listen to this..fuckin bullshit

      1. ^ no you ‘i live vicariously through a rapper and dickride his achievements only to make up for the complete lack of success in my own life’-people should kill yaselves.

        you just calling everybody and everything a hater to handaway and discredit any type of criticism that might come up against your hero.

        there’s a difference between a fan who wants his favorite rapper to drop the best music he’s capable of and a dickrider that eats up every single garbage track only to come across as a real fan on the internet. learn to deal with justified criticism, you weak bitch ass. lol.

    3. Quick lets call this track a classic, and Nas the G.O.A.T. , come on true hip hop heads, lets all talk about how Nas is the greatest thing on this earth, tha last real MC, come on guys where are you at? Nas is the best, at everything he does, have you ever ate one of his peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches? if you haven’t he makes the best PP&J sandwiches on this earth. Seriously tho, anything he does is a classic. Look at his artwork for the album, Its such a creative genius decision OMG!!!!!

      1. So being a Nas troll and swarming every article criticizing everything he does is better than being a stan? How can Nas even have stans if most of his fans even criticize him. Go troll somewhere else dude.

    4. man

      daughter was dope

      the don was ill

      loco-motive was aight

      accident murderer was average

      and bye baby is average

      as more songs are leaked the more i worried bout this album

      nas is great don’t get me wrong. but this is not his style. i wish he could do what he did in the past with Illmatic, It was written and The Lost Tapes. Those were the fuckin albums which held Nas signature as a mothafuckin MC

      and no need to hate on my comment. I’m just givin my opinion so no need to catch feelings cause you don’t disagree

      peace

      1. fair enough although come on son loco=motive..that shit was DOPE.. besides rather than holding nas to impossible standards, just be thankful that in todays climate of pop rubbish, nas is still jus straight out making RAP music..

      2. no. the don was decent, so was daughters, locomotive and accident were garbage, but the last 2 were dope. your opinion worthless

      3. its always funny to me how when a nas song first drops the stans say the song is the greatest shit ever. then after about 2 week after their hormones have calmed down and their boners have subsided their honest opinions come out. the song which was “classic” a week ago is now just “good”. it happens everytime. that’s why i dont take these blogs seriously. niggas just dickride for show and then when they calm down and they realize the song aint all that amazing they come clean. nas fans are too funny.

      4. read the comments for “loco-motive” and then read the real opinions about the song now. a week ago it was “fuck yea this that illmatic 90’s shit nas is the goat fuck lil wayne” and now its “that song was aite” lol. no diss to the firs anonymous just an observation on nas fans in general

      5. ^dude life is good is the best shit right now admit it!! every track back to back is fire unlike rick ross tracks which dissappoint

      6. That’s EXACTLY why I didn’t try to get my hopes up for this album. It is the same with every single Nas album. He drops some great singles that may even not end up on the album, you get all excited and hyped up only to come to the realiziation that the album gets weaker and weaker with every song that leaks. Nas always fucks up your expectations.

      7. a lot of you mothafuckas are running your mouth against a dude who just gave his state of mind bout this shit

        especially the faggot above talkin bout pussy bleedings

        i understand some of yall feel very comfortable hiding behind your screens under nicknames and shit. but this is nothin but a coward move

        this site is just a place where people can enjoy music and share their views on somethin they’re passionate about. don’t turn this into a fuckin joke pussy fighting over nothin

        bunch of bitch ass mothafucka

      8. The God’s Son album is dope overall but has some average joints on there like Hey Nas and Zone Out. Ain’t no need to be worried.

      1. not like rick ross who has banging drum beats on every track.an album has to have some kinda flow fool

      2. Ninja! Grow up and expand yo music choices fool! Diversity is what makes music, every track can’t be 175BPM, running hihats, same triple snares, over compressed bass drums, 808 pretending to be bassline, yelling chants every 4 bars….This is that music to ride to homie, summertime riding and reflecting…you probably are riding the bus though. Well then, reflect on the bus ninja!

    5. People on Hiphopdx overrate nas… on sites like rapradar rapup nas music gets 10 comments total get of his dick people nobody here copping his album smh..

      1. hahaha. word up. dude is not even getting near the love he gets on this site that’s full of dickriders, anywhere else on the internet. search for his shit on other sites to get a true glimpse of the actual quality. never put your faith into this guy after you read the comments on here. nothing but nas cocksuckers.

      2. ^hahaha nas gets love on every site look at his vids on youtube check the likes plus the don audio on youtube has like 1.5 million views.which website re u talkin about

      3. How bout you shut your Lil B homo loving ass up. Skinny jean wearing mother fucker respect the G.O.A.T when he spitting.

    6. My nigga nas showing hes the best rapper alive. Not sum white dude named eminem.. who thinks he can come into black culture In kill shit fuck outta here!

      1. white dude a.k.a Slim shady/Eminem/M.Mathers the most creative rapper of all time and one of the greatest in music history

    7. Another round of bleeding from d 30 years old anonymous bitch. Dat bitch finna bleed a lot more when Life is good drops finally. LOL.

    8. Wow, wat a real n honest rack yet still very dope. Nassir showing all these rap niiggas hw its supposed to be done. #Life is good indeed.

        I see Life is Good to have the potential to get above 6 but nothing past 2.

      1. funny that nas stans even go so far out of their way that they recite a guy they often write novels about only to discredit him. *SCUST*

    9. this is gonna be one album to not forget. this shit is superb. he really poured his heart out on that. life is good is gonna be one of his best and anybody who say it want tit to sound like illmatic is so damn stupid. what happen to pouring your heart on a record?

      1. U wrong bruv, some idiots are still gon tell u Illmatic is Nas’s only good album and that the beats on Life is good r boring, that he shld dump salaam remi n No ID and work with Premo, Pete Rock n co, blah, blah, blah.

      1. repeating the same shit over and over til you have forced yourself to believe it doesn’t make a lie true.

    10. DAYUM, TRACK is Awesome!!!! Wow! Beat is the realest, and the lyrics are true to life. It happens. Move on and learn homie.

    11. Another wack ass, gimmick-driven, smoke ‘n mirrors shit song.

      This nigga is 20 years into his career and hasn’t changed his flow ONCE!!!

      He’s STILL picking total GARBAGE Salaam Remi beats while RZA, Kanye, Premo and Alchemist beats didn’t make the final cut!!!

      He STILL needs somebody to talk about to make up for the lack of actual substance in his songs!!!

      He’s STILL rhyming lazy and making tracks like Queens Get The Money a ”once in a lifetime”-achievement.

      This album will be all over the place like the others before it.

      Nas builds a fake impression with the first few singles, only to come through with a highly underwhelming, mediocre album where three leftovers and prior promo tracks are better than the whole lp.

      This album will get hyped as the next Illmatic/Lost Tapes only for people to come to the conclusion that they have been hyped up and finally supplied with yet ANOTHER lackluster, overhyped Street’s Disciple/I Am/Nastradamus/Hip Hop Is Dead type of CD a few weeks after the hype died down.

      Another half-assed effort from the guy who was once destined to be the GOAT, who’s now crazy overrated and been getting excuses based off the debut he dropped two decades ago.

      1. the mans about 40 years old talking about his wife and shit.nas isnt in qb projects anymore fam its been 20 years since illmatic….I think the songs dope

      2. johnny blaze doesn’t like this ignorance he’s seeing. terrible comments by a jay stan. nas the god, half the album is out and shits on your what favourite rapper is doing.

        lack of substance lol. the ether still burns in this one its clear. don’t fight it let it burn.

      3. Other rappers wish they thought of I am/streets disciple/hip hop is dead material

        Too bad Nasir the goat.

      4. Attention boys, the bitch up top aka anonymous bitch/rex is a well known ignoramus/hater. Apart from the obvious fact dat ether still burns his soul, bitch bleeds uncontrollably when Nas drops a gem on his favorite rappers.He dont deserve no responce, only help he needs his dat of a gynecologists cos he gone be bleeding like a mofo when life is good drops. If only her mama had aborted his bitch ass, d world esp hiphop will be spared another nuisance.

      5. I told u all ddude up top is a bleeding bitch, he seems to be on her period every time drops a gem on his fav rappers, he cant stand it at all, dat ether still burns her soul even after 10 years. I suggest he doesnt get anymore response, maybe he will realize hw stupid she is.

    12. Niggas from gay ass Atlanta are jealous. Because no rapper from their city can make lyrical shit like this.lol

      1. And New York niggas are lame as fuck. Bunch of corny mufuckas………and last time I checked all these fag mufuckas came from everywhere………

      2. Yeah ahhaha. Aside from Outkast, Goodie Mob, and Ludacris. South is pretty much on dumb shit. They know it, and we know it. So instead of accepting it they want every other part of the U.S. to act, dress and talk like their ignorant asses. Shit ain’t rockin over here b.

    13. yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. this how you fuck do it fuck all you niggas. fuck em all where fuck has our music gone.

    14. Damn its Hella Haters on here.Chill let Nas do his more for his fans and (true)HipHop fans not yall who want to dance with clown gear on or just listen to the beat. Word Life!!!!!!Classic on the way

    15. I’m definitely coppin nas new album…. I’m not coppin rick Ross album though because he’s definition of famke.

    16. Quick lets call this track a classic, and Nas the G.O.A.T. , come on true hip hop heads, lets all talk about how Nas is the greatest thing on this earth, tha last real MC, come on guys where are you at? Nas is the best, at everything he does, have you ever ate one of his peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches? if you haven’t he makes the best PP&J sandwiches on this earth. Seriously tho, anything he does is a classic. Look at his artwork for the album, Its such a creative genius decision OMG!!!!!!

      1. I’m a Nas head, and for anyone to call this a classic before it even comes out is just horrible. I think it has potential to be great album, but I don’t see “classic” potential. A “classic” is an album that changes the way Hip Hop is viewed only this will go classic is if it makes rappers go back to lyricism. Which I do not see happening.

    17. You know what? For Nas to be “wack” and “washed up”, dude gets more comments the first day his joints are posted than Wayne, Drake, Ross and all the other “hottest cats in the game”. This joint is hot…and REAL!! ’90’s cats still run this shit!! Deal with it…

    18. * read * once hip hop music became owned by only a few hands it became a child.

      a child that never grows up its party drink and fuck bitches is about it.

      from 80’s to the 90’s it grew m.c’s were trying to out do rappers and producers from the past.

      now today everything is safe its business and people know how to do what works.

      what look and sound a so called artist needs to be successful.

      so it doesnt do anything that not in its best interest. songs like this are not in most hip hop artist best interest so they dont them.

      but from a stand point of growing it does that.

      this is why most from the 90’s generation dont respect the new school because through no fault of their own they didnt grow the music.

      lil wayne should be trying to out rap nas to point where his music is not needed.

      nas out rapped rakim.

      his flow was more detailed, faster and use double meanings and metaphors.

      the new school today lacks detail slower flow with less double meanings and metaphor.

      i have yet to hear anything from artist from todays generation that blows my mind. its the best thing i ever heard.

      when heard nas illimatic i said that may be the best album i ever heard. why 20 years later have i not heard any thing from todays artist that i can say beats that.

      anyway a lot of you arent going understand or co sign things from today because you have no choice from your own confidence sake.

      but you can’t argue with what i’m saying if you do.

      if so name that album. what album is int today that best illimatic.

    19. Yeah the more i’m hearing tracks, the more its starting to sound like this album is going to be a gem of the year. Hat’s off to you Nas.

      1. LMFAO.. bullshit!.. Nas has 4 classics (Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic & The Lost Tapes) NO DOUBT this album will make 5.. Jay has 3 (Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint & The Black Album).. Em has 1 (Marshall Mathers LP)

      2. SSLP was a great album and my personal favorite from Eminem but it isn’t a classic that’s on par with Nas and Jay’z best albums. Eminem Show definitely isn’t a classic.

    20. Dope track!!!! I’m still trying to catch up with locomotive. Slow down don!!! On second thought, fuk it keep it going!!!

      1. And Im just glad Nas doesn’t suck like he used to in the early 00’s/late 90’s era. Illmatic was shit, so was God Son but Nas made the right decision to start working with YMCMB and MMG because it made him step his game up rapping with them. Nas needs to stay working with 40 and other new school producers and artist like he has been

    21. Best MC (or at least top 2-3) in the game right now hands down

      Anyone disagree, let me know who else.

      And don’t say some gay sh1t like lil wayne LOL toys

      1. Yea Nas is one of the top elites. Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Big Krit, Locksmith, and The Illz are right up there as today’s best MC’s

      2. jay-z, eminem, reks, gza, mos def, talib kweli, pharoahe monch, crooked i, blu, lupe, elzhi >>>>>> nas.

    22. why argue. Nas, Jay, and Eminem are all legends and great artist. Why does it matter who is better. if you ask 100 different people who’s better you’ll get tons of different answers
      Perfect Song btw. this ish deep

      1. exactly. every single album of his post illmatic = a few highlights and the majority is made up of mediocre shit.

    23. I Have A Feeling That LIFE IS GOOD Will Be Better Than Illmatic!
      I Mean, NASTY, THE DON, DAUGHTERS, ACCIDENTAL MURDERERS, LOCOMOTIVE And Now BYE BABY! NAS IS GAD MAN!

      1. Come on now…slow it down. It’s just the newness hitting you. Not saying the songs haven’t been good, but classic?

    24. Life is good,bidding my time for it
      Nas,with another straight classic
      sometime to come, everyone, the haters Too, will be brought to terms with the fact that Nas is the G.O.A.T

      1. Anonymous you must be retarded. Ever changing gimmicks? You must be talking about your favorite rap/r&b artists.

    25. Man Nas just doesn’t disapoint me with this awesome album! Can’t wait for 13july when this album is for sale in the Netherlands.

    26. Nasty
      Tha Don
      Daughters
      Acccident Murderer
      Reach out ft Mary J Blidge
      Cherry Wine ft Amy Winehouse
      Locomotive
      Bye babe

      8 tracks so far. You cant hate on greatness

      1. only thing i hate is that rick ross is on one of Nas’s songs smfh but all these songs are great!

      1. They ALL stick. Everyone loving Nas’ album so far. Not just liking, but loving. Nas’ songs have the highest ratings pretty much on every Hip hop site. And it actually makes people want to buy the album even more. It’s a great marketing strategy. I, for one, am definitely going to buy the album now that I know it’s THAT brilliant.

    27. Alot of comments and negativity on here smh. I have a question though….Why do you lames continue to bring Ross up on different blogs that have nothing to do with him? Is it because nas respects dude and Ross makes good music? I am very critical of nas because i know he can be great but please for fucks sake stay on topic. Stupid ass stans

    28. Some punks below me are bashing the south, lol. Keep it 100 Andre 3k and Scarface>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nas. No dickriding, just keep it hunnid niggaz.

    29. No one keeps it as real as Nas. Life Is Good will be one of the best albums this year. Artistic integrity >>> The fame, the cars, basically the pop life.

      1. ”Artistic integrity” is what you call telling Premo that he doesn’t fit and placing Ross on a song to get buzz when there are literally thousand rappers that could’ve elevated the track to much higher levels? Stop bigging up Nas with attributes he doesn’t deserve.

    30. I love what I hear off this album so far. I’m not instigating shit because I’m a big Jay fan, but Hov can take notes from Nas on grown man rap for his next album.

    31. There is NOTHING worse than a person who lies to discredit someone’s talent. GREAT song Nasir Olu Dara Jones…let the haters live on.

    32. Average song for one of the GOATS. Idk what to expect on this album but it sounds like its going to be his most commercial effort to date.

      1. Yep, Ive heard Nastradamus. This track would fit right in with that album. I Am… was pretty commercial too.

      2. you’re right though. on 2nd listen this sounds like it would come from a Common album more than Nastradamus.

      1. the beats and his style are lame… had 10 albums, one was clasic, one was dope… the rest had attention to it because of his name. now he on some grown rap shit for grown people. that’s lame.

      2. go watch oprah or dr. oz if you want some meaningufull shit, music is about art and nas sucks at it.

      3. This is art.. Nas paints pictures with words in a way that few can. That sucks you can’t see that. I feel bad for you

    33. Nas seem to get better as he gets older. Unlike that gay-z. I have no doubt this album will be a top notch!

    34. well you know nas is starting to gain attention again when the haters come out. Sounds like this will be a great album, as good as section 80 if not better. Although people comparing it to illmatic…cmon son. It won’t be better than illmatic, IWW, or stillmatic.

      1. people compare all his albums to illmatic before they release, only to flash out how trash and underwhelming they are a few months later.

      1. Well lets start with the word amazing which means above average or something that can “amaze”. Nas is a one of the only conscious rappers to still have a considerable fanbase that PURCHASES albums (look at his last 2 albums…they sold really well) With that being said, it’s amazing that someone who still sells albums, still has endorsements (contract with FIFA, FILA, etc) can even create a song as honest as this one.

        Next, the subject matter is amazing. In the last 2-3 years, Nas has been on track with Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Ross, Drake, Tyga, and other more popular artists. Most of these artists are “running the game” but the majority of their music (except Drake) is far from real. Waynes punchlines are no longer impressive, Nicki’s lyrical buzz has died down due to her barbi image, etc. Nas’s subject matter is amazing bc it shows that hopping on track with them has not flawed his album choice of being personal

        Next is lyrics: the lyrics speak for themselves. I’m not about to draw quotes from it but notice how he can be 10X as lyrical as other rappers without having punchlines be his end all be all.

        Finally, the overall feel of the track which I admit is subjective. But for me, I honestly wonder how any rapper can be so introspective with the beat selection, hook, and topic. He killed this track bc he showed his feelings for her, and how she messed him up, and got really personal with it all while being lyrical.

        There are allot of lyricists, a lot of poets, and allot of rappers with high popularity. To bring it all together on one track, and with the exception of 2 albums, throughout your whole career = greatness.

      2. ^^^ You’re exaggeration is “amazing”. LOL at “sold really well”. Nas hasn’t sold a million records in over years and sales have steadily decreased. There are people in the industry who can help him but he refuses.

        How you gonna tell Premo that he don’t fit this album and then put out stuff like this? As if Premo wouldn’t fit a hip hop album. But 40 does?

      3. nas is dropping some suprisingly decent music and his super stans are acting like it’s the end all be all of rap music. fuck outta here. lol. there’s still room for huge improvements. ”my own worst enemy”, ”the rise & fall”, ”film” >>>>>>> all the tracks that been released from the album combined.

    35. This shit is incredible. Nas’s ability to really live his life through music and not sound preachy or wack cannot be matched. The Don, Accident Murderers, Daughters, and now this…I dont throw the word “classic” around but if each song on the album is of this quality or better it could definitely be one. Nas running circles around this generation of rappers. NO disrespect to them but you gotta call a spade a spade! lol

      1. it’s a 4/5 wouldn’t necessarily say below average, but outside of Big Krit & O.C./Apollo Brown who else this year is making 4/5 music?

      1. seriously shut da fuk up, lil wayne is mediocre at best and pales in comparison to Nas who is top 5 dead or alive. When comparing NAS he can only be compared to the likes of KRS-One, Rakim, Biggie, Pac, or Jay-Z if I see one more YMCMB post on here i’m smacking somebody in the streets today.

    36. i enjoy the music provided by NAS but don’t feel the track
      the lyrics are self explanatory,beat is 2.5,but w.e anyway its alright

    37. Excellent Nas is like Langston Hughes with a Mike. One of the greatest & most thoughtful lyricists in rap hands down. Glad I got to experience his journey.

    38. Anything that Nas puts out is crazy, that life is good music has written classic all over it. Knowledge reigns supreme

      1. Nah he’s not overrated. He’s just falling off. In his day, Nas was THAT DUDE. Now he is hit or miss with stuff. He didn’t sound comfortable to me on this record.

      2. You summed up Nas’ whole career post Illmatic in one sentence. People are just making exuses and adjustments at this point. He comes with actual decent music after years of trash and he’s the GOAT again? Fuck outta here. LOL.

      1. A king doesn’t crown himself. Nas is such a clown. Jay destroyed this fag too many times, in Hip Hop and in life.

    39. This song sounds really authentic well done to Nas for speaking from his heart, a true genius at work.

    40. I haven’t heard any of the recent leaks, but I’ll definitely be buying the album. I’m excited about the album like many of you are, but some of these fans and stans need to fall back. 6 tracks are out, album not even released yet and some are already hailing it as a classic. This needs to stop. Hip hop fans today have ZERO patience. Let time decided whether this album is a classic or not. Wait a year, shit even 6 months. But to call albums classic before they are even released is idiotic. And it’s not just a problem with Nas’ albums, the same shit happens when three or four tracks leak from a Kanye, Jay, Em, Wayne, Game album or whoever. Too many groupies, not enough honest listeners.

      1. I think some people need to let go of Illmatic and move on. That was 18 years ago. I’ve never seen one artist compared or measured to their first album so much. Some others get it, but not this extent.

      2. Well, if it wasn’t for Nas declaring himself as a chosen rapper from Queensbridge that will always do true Hip Hop, completely aside from trends and mainstream, only to make the same exact thing he was speaking out against on Illmatic with IWW, he would never be criticized the way he is. It’s too late to save his legacy.

    41. if we dont support this album,blame yourself for the gucci,euro techno,flo-ria,leopard legging, horse shit on the radio
      thisisborn.com

      1. blame nas for selling out, dumbing down his artistic approach only to work these faggots after he accused them with the murder of hip hop.

    42. i’d say average. so far nasty, the don, and loco-motive are the top 3 tracks. this and daughters seem like they’re going to stifle the flow of the album. if there are more songs like nasty on the album, but with a little more depth to the lyrics, i’ll be excited.

      1. Dude uses the same tactic to market EVERY album. He drops a great track to get his true fans back and comes through with a wack ass album that has been changed a thousand times to reach every audience out there.

    43. stay true nas good look. you can please everyone. and stay a real man because we don’t have real men anymore just gay ones. hey ask the doctor what happen if you keep getting itup yhe but

    44. Im feeling all the tracks so far…sounds like its very well put together and goes with the theme of the album. Before illmatic dropped, several tracks were put out and generated a lot of hype. Looks like its happening again!!!

      1. This can never be close to Illmatic. Only thing similar is, that a feature (Ross) will probably have the best verse on the whole album and completely destroyed Nas like AZ did back on Illmatic.

    45. Im tired of everybody comparing all his work to Illmatic too. I mean yeh, at its time illmatic was the dopest shit out and lyrically, was and still is one of the greatset albums. But in my opinion Nas has made a lot better music since illmatic. Shit, i like it was written and god son better than illmatic. And honsestly this new album is already soundin like a str8 classic.

      Nas probably is the greatest mc alive. Lets be real, hes been in this game all this time and still to this day droppin heat all while doin his own thing, not following these gay little techno/pop trends to gain success. On top of all that he didnt have to dumb down his flow either. THATS a true mc right there!

      PROPS TO NAS!

      1. He can’t dumb down his flow, it’s already one the lowest level possible. And Nas doesn’t follow trends? This has to be a joke. When did you start listening to him? 2 years ago? Read the reviews his albums got around the time they dropped and not the revisionist bullshit his fake ass super stans are doing in comments sections and forums. If it wasn’t for Illmatic as his debut, which saved him till now, dude would’ve been sonned into oblivion. Aside from it, IWW, half of Stillmatic and The Lost Tapes, his catalouge is completely forgettable trash. All his leftovers >>>>>>> his official discography. Nas post Illmatic has been him trying to be a rapper he was never destined to be, which resulted in weak, generic albums that were all over the place. Now, after 20 years and almost eleven years alfter Stillmatic, he’s slowly coming back to true self after a lot of disastrous albums and blatant obvious sellout moves. What you’re hearing is the quality level Nas should’ve reached with every album. The tracks that are now released, make the greater half of his catalouge even weaker in comparison. Dude can never be the GOAT with such a wack ass discography.

      1. salaam must have something that he threatens nas with. the leading work with this guy is just unexplainable at this point. i mean, the tracks aren’t bad, but all of them could’ve been so much more.

    46. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if someone believes this joint is “amazing”. then it is what it is, which is, THAT INDIVIDUAL thinks its “amazing”. Stop arguing about it being classic, not classic, and enjoy the fucking music. people on this website are just JOKES.

      1. What’s the circus without CLOWNS to make Jokes? Seriously, you have to encourage haters, they recharge your batteries.

      2. if someone believes this joint is “garbage”. then it is what it is, which is, THAT INDIVIDUAL thinks its “garbage”. stop arguing about it.

    47. this shit right here is genuine this is what hiphop is about fuck all that shit u dont like..life is good is gonna be a classic

    48. another overrated, mediocre track from this overly inconsistent guy who can’t pick a decent beat to save his life.

      1. this mother fucker aint no great m.c he is the best that has ever done it. compare lyrics side by side and so me who is talking about what haha name who suppose to be better break down their bars line or line.

      FINALLY IT HAPPENED – JUST GOT A NEW RIDE – A CAM A RO CONVERTIBLE.GOT APPROVED FOR 26 LARGE. BEEN 5 YRS SINCE IVE GOTTEN SHYT APPROVED, BUT NOW ALL MY CRE-DIT SHEET GONE. ALL OF IT.

      IF YOU STRUGGLING WITH THAT CREDITT HISTORY ISHH, GET RID OF ALL DAT TODAY – CALL THESE PEEPS AT 8^8^8-9-2-7 -3-3-5-6. . THEY DO AMAZING WORK AND THEY ARE CHEAP AS FUQQ. GOT RID OF ALL MY SHYYT IN NO TIME.

      MY HOMEBOY WAS IN THE GUTTA TOO, AND HE CLEANER THAN ME NOW-gettin a condo!!

      Hit em up – THEY WILL HELP U!!

    50. The anonymous f#%k that goes on every single Nas page slandering him should seriously consider offing himself.

    51. Even Nastradamus (The worst album ever from a greatly talented MC) and Street’s Disciple (The worst double album in the history of music) sounded promising before they were released. Mark my words and check back in a few weeks, this will be Hip Hop Is Dead all over again. And even the acapella version of Hope was far superior to this.

      1. have ever heard anybody talk like this about gotdamn relationship or divorce. haha have reach that stage in your life do you think hip hop there limited to type of music that can be created. if you do your from this era not the shit grew up on they took chances.

      2. wow… Have you actually heard Nastradamus??? Or Streets Dis – Maybe Nas’ “worst” but amazingly skillful albums.

        do your own research bro – don;’t just read reviews – listen to music.

    52. pretty dope song. It’s good to see that Nas hasnt disrepected Kelis, that’s love. Not being salty is the best way to get past what happened.

    53. like da sample but the beat definetly didnt fit dat well.Either way, I like wat im hearing from Nas on dis albulm & even tho I dnt buy music,dis is one albulm dat’ll atleast be close to worth the price at Walmart

    54. when this dude is dead and gone they will say he is best lyricist that lived or ever will live. even biggie said i aint fucking with that dude( meaning i know he a lyrcist then i aint whether i pretend or not ). lol

      after hearing this i know why.

    55. NUFF SAID HIT IT ON THE NOSE:

      Im tired of everybody comparing all his work to Illmatic too. I mean yeh, at its time illmatic was the dopest shit out and lyrically, was and still is one of the greatset albums. But in my opinion Nas has made a lot better music since illmatic. Shit, i like it was written and god son better than illmatic. And honsestly this new album is already soundin like a str8 classic.

On top of all that he didnt have to dumb down his flow either. THATS a true mc right there!

      PROPS TO NAS!

    56. if your teenager or young adult you going like this record your too use to smoke and mirrors. ( game editing out fights trying to make seem like he do or die gangsta and most of believe that all this music is )haha

      hip hop is not limited there no limited to what you can do.

      this song is therapy for him i’m going put it on a records and move on. haha

      if you can’t understand that you got to young. if you reply post of your age next time haha

      aint nobody in their 30’s that dont get this haha we live real fucking lives not at mama’s house

    57. i would liked to see the love on kelis face

      when heard this record haha

      you stupid bitch you walked away from a genius.

      a man that come up with thoughts that only 1 in million can.

      if i’am wrong post your bars up here i want him em.

      imagine if pac was this lyrical with that passion he had went said something you would rolled over and died.

      imagine if biggie was this lyrical with the voice he had same out come.

      1. you’re whole post speaks of true disability. one in a million, yeah right, fuck outta here. this dude been murdered by his weedcarriers on a regular basis and is now working with the likes of wayne and ross because he is scared of true competiton.

    58. Really feeling this song. It kind of touches my heart. I feel bad for Nas .. but no matter what, Life is Good.

      Life is Good = Illmatic of this generation.

    59. “Reason you dont trust men, thats ya daddy fault” real shit there

      5/5
      takes balls to make a song like this
      Life IS Good
      sick sample btw

    60. Am gonna say dis for the last time, anybody that is still replies to that bleeding anonymous bitch or rex or watever fake aliases he uses is gotto be dumb too. Cant yall tell d bitch is a str8 buffoon? he says d same shit every time Nas drops a gem on his fav rappers, dat bitch cant wait to bleed at all. He d same bitch dat wakes up and sleeps on a Nas post everytime spewing ignorance. If yall can ignore d bitch n better still help pay for a gynecologist to cure her bleeding pussy n perhaps her pussy yeast infection too, then Hiphop Dx n more importantly a Nas post will breathe.

    61. now this nigga is on to biting budden?

      horrible attempt.

      dear diary >>>>>>>>>>>> this copied garbage.

    62. Nas wasting so many great verses on horrible production, it’s a fucking shame. The Story of his career.

    63. I see nobody is responding the dat 30 yr old anonymous bitch again, keep it up guys, dat bitch dnt deserve no response, he doesnt even exist.

    64. Not gonna lit at first listen i was like nah this is wack but it just gets better over time…really nice track and for those who didnt hear the song with Mary J. that shit is nuts!!!

    65. 1.Illmatic (The Holy Grail)
      2.It Was Written (4.5 mics)
      3.The Lost Tapes (Best Mixtape Ever)
      4.Stillmatic (Silence the critics)
      5.Untitled (A lyrical Master Piece)
      6.Street Disciple (Flew over Peoples heads)
      7.Hip Hop Is Dead (Good Not Great)
      8.Distant Relatives (Thought Provoking)
      9.God Son (Beautiful and heartfelt)
      10. I Am/Nastradamus (This was suppose to be a double CD but Columbia rush the production)

      Mark my words Life Is Good will go down as the new gold standard for hip hop albums.

      1. fuck you nas stan. illmatic and the lost tapes were dope and the rest is shit. and the lost tapes aint a mixtape do your homework.

      2. hahahahahaha, look at these dumb ass cocksucking stans repeating what they heard everywhere else. the lost tapes a mixtape? step your stanning game up, you fucking loser.

      3. I Call Bullshit!

        I hate these fake Nas fans not rating Nastradamus and I am – If you feel NAS those albums were fire.

        NAS Catalog>> Any Rappers Catalog period.

      4. you know what I find funny is the fact that everyone HATES Nastradamus but the same people say The Lost Tapes was a classic.. THOSE WERE B SIDES FOR THIS ALBUM AND I AM!! I admit that “you owe me” shit was lame as fuck but look at the content of these tracks.. I guess only people who have been through the struggle would understand them.

    66. dude okay give me something beyond hate where your is your rapper that spitting like this name him i want to hear it.

      maybe you post me a verse if you aint genius shut the up.

      a true genius could see something like this and think nothing cause he can do it.

      post your verse nigga will be just lloyd banks fucking punch like or fucking life.

      post your verse or the rapper that better then him or shut the fuck up haha

      i would be first to say i could do but got some genius in and and do much better job than. i can show and prove

    67. this aint for 15 year old. haha thats okay lil b is not for me i’am 35. and listen to songs thats better your favor rappers whole career is it wayne haha this song is more fuck creative and realer than his last album all made up bullshit.

    68. Grown folk music right here. Also good for the younger generation who truly can appreciate good Hip Hop from the legends such as Nas. I state grown folk because I’m certain a lot of Nas fans have been in similar situations as this song, even some of the young cats. Can’t possibly hate on this unless you pump hater blood because your dad left you before you came out your mom’s body…

    69. my top Life Is Good tracks (so far):

      1. The Don
      2. Cherry Wine
      3. Locomotive
      4. Nasty
      5. Bye Baby
      6. Daughters
      7. Accident Murderers

    70. 1.Locomotive
      2.Nasty
      3.Daughters
      4.Reach Out
      5.Cherry wine
      6.Accident murderer
      7.Tha Don
      8.Bye babe

      oh wait thats 8 tracks already…

    71. stop sucking nas off he aint no deeper than the next rapper no wonder he is so cocky when you got other human beings calling you a god and the greatest of all time nas not even close

    72. oh, yeah. what a dumb reasoning. everybody who criticizes nas is a hater. cause there simply can’t be real fans who don’t suck off everything only to come across as a real head on the net.

    73. most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, drake is gay. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.

      BAWSE!!!!!

      1. nigga please..that’s the biggest insult to Biggie. Ross is no where lyrically close to Big. If Big were alive, he would CHEW Ross out and them shit him out. You’re buggin. Fake Hip Hop fan

      2. ok if you’re gonna talk about how everyones not what they say they are, then you can’t leave out your boy Ross claiming to be a drug dealer and actualy being a cop. and EVERYBODY>Ross………..you prolly met that mofo in fat camp

      Hit em up – THEY WILL HELP U!!,.

    75. Good job guys for ignoring dat anonymous bitch and to new posters, d deal is to ignore that 30 years old anonymous bitch or rex or any other person that spews ignorance on a Nas post. She dnt deserve response, she doesnt really exist as such. That bitch needs to go take care of her yeast infected pussy.

      1. I think Nas like gettin beats cheap so he can keep most of the money.. I say that cause aside from Illmatic which was insane, some of his beats have been really weak. F*ck it he still the GOAT.

    76. life is good is a r and b album and shity one at that.

      this is nas worst album and i just heard it.

      he says life is good but its some of the most depressing shit i have ever heard.

      this is the best song on the album. no intro use a classical instrumental but lacks a truly bob your head drum pattern.

      none of the songs really outside of loco motive had a pattern that you can really get into.

      this is lesson to kids women will drag you down.

      i wanted three years for this shit and this is all i get and this i’m not kid saying this i’am old head i have heard it all from 88 to now.

      tiger wood nas all went down the tubes. you lust women you dont love em they are nothing but a nuisance.

      because i said that this comment will be taking down.

      this niggas on the rocks.

      1. MANN KEEP YOUR WACK ASS COMMENTS 2 YOURSELF NAS IS THE SHIT IF YOU NOT FEELIN NAS
        GO LISTEN TO WANYE YOU COCK SUCKER BITCH ASS NIGGA

      2. he says life is good but its some of the most depressing shit i have ever heard.

        I think that’s what makes the artistry, the album so interesting. I think it’s a message that needed to be reiterated when we have a lot of artist speaking about money cars and how much joy it brings. the album brings balance to the game right now.
        Hip hop has to truly represent the human experience the total human experience and Life is more than or is not limited to other messages artists spread but in all
        I have to agree that Life is Good

      3. NOW HERE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A NIGGA WHO HATES WOMEN… OR AT LEAST DONT HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO KNO THAT THE MAN HAD A WIFE… LUST WOMEN? DOG UR A BITCH!!! TALKIN BOUT FROM “88 TO NOW” FUCK BWAY HAAAAA… ANY MAN THAT CAN BLAME ANOTHER MAN’S DOWNFALL ON WOMENN IS EITHER FRANK… OOPS I MEAN GAY AS FUCK OR JUS PLAIN IGNORANT AS SHIT. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY U FUCKS ARE THE PRBLEM WIT HIPHOP.. FROM THE LIL UNDER 21 FUCKS THAT think THEY KNO WTF THE CRAFT IS… TO BUM ASS WASHED UP WISHED HE WAS A RAPPER BACK IN DA DAY ASS NIGGAS THINKIN THEY A&R’s AND “EXPERTS” ON WHAT THE FUCK IT TAKE TO MAKE A SONG MUCH LESS AN ALBUM THAT IS TIMELESS OR EVEN ONE THAT MORE THAN THE SEVEN NIGGAS IN UR BUM ASS HOOD CAN FEEL. SHUTTTT THAAA FUUCCKKKKK UPPP.. ALLL O YOU DEAF DUMB AND BLIND.. HIPHOP’S NOT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

        OH AND UH UR MOMS OS A CLASSICAL HOE THAT LACKS THE PROPPER BOB HER HEAD ON MY DICK GUL[P PATTERN. U DUMB SHIT. LEAVE HIPHOP ALONE.

    77. Maaaan. Roses really puts Kelis on blast. This song is good though. However you really want some dirt one what caused them to call it quits, listen to roses. That shit if fowl. Instead of working with your partner, you’re jealous their career is better than yours. Like what the fuck, that is not what love and marriage is supposed to be about. Once this album drops, only dude that is going to fuck with her is a dumbass. How can you build with someone who acts like this? Shameful.

    78. Looking forward to all albums droppin this summer, but Nas’s is going to be overlooked by everyone under the age of 21 and that’s unfortunate. I’m sure there’s some kids out there that can and do understand real hip hop. But for the most part it will be overlooked and hated on. SMH

      The flows of this album wont be from lyricism or production but different tastes of individuals.

      Other than SOS i found the Deluxe plus Trust from itunes a great collection of 20tracks.

      This is withought doubt a Classic

    82. Nasir Jones @Nas
