OUT NOW Nas & DJ Premier - Light-Years

[Bed$tuy🇺🇲🇭🇹]

Here's the first batch I ran across...

That beat for the New York State of Mind 3 remix is originally produced by Necro


Only posters like me & @Water Ur Seeds and @genocide_cutter will catch on

Black Helicopters >>> this NYSOM 3 Remix

this shit is funny watching the reactions to Premo's production in this thread.

I must admit the beats are very minimalist or sparse to put it nicely. LMAO.

Necro (nutjob) has been one of my favorite producers since “I Need Drugs”.
This guy appears to have only sampled the same song as him, not the instrumental of Black Helicopters
—similar to the two tracks I posted where 9th Wonder and Preemo sampled the same song.

4\5

Both

But only 4-5 tracks broke through
SMH

This could be a turning point in Preemo’s career but instinct tells me he’ll only double down with this cheap sounding bare minimum style. Especially with the yes-men,Stans and dick riders emboldening him

Preemo has another fully produced album
dropping sometime next year, he did with Big Shug.
I like Shug, but he is damn near Group Home skill level and greatly benefits from his excellent ears for picking dope beats to compensate for this.

If Preemo doesn’t come correct on this…..

So the Billie Joel sample was Nas’s idea???

Yeah Nas stick to the bars BUT with that said the sample isn't the problem it's the beat that sample is connected to is

 

[rip.dilla]

I don't know about y'all but I LOVE NYSOM 3... It's my favourite jam on the album... Wish it was longer


I didn't even know Billy Joel had a song by that title... Even with the original NYSOM released over 30 years ago

 

[nex gin]

Not gonna lie., the album has grown on me.

 

[AP4.0]

20 pages for... According to some of y'all
..a mid album is crazy

For me it’s the Billie Joel sample juxtaposed to the beat. It’s jarring as fuck!

Lmaoooo the album has grown on me but the album still doesn’t kick into 3rd gear til Madman. Which was how I felt on first listen

I don't know what y'all complaining about this album is fire.

8/10 for me

 

[Bed$tuy🇺🇲🇭🇹]

I expected something else since he named is album "Light Years"
Im not easily impressed

I thought i was gonna hear light year bars and beats.
My guy KiLLah Light Years ahead of nas lyrically and been choosing better beats that fits his miracle spiritual emceeing.
Makes every other rapper seem regular

Album is better than Nasir tho.
