Life Is Good (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

With his tenth studio album 'Life is Good' finished Nasir 'Nas' Jones a section in his career, which was not necessarily influenced in recent years by high points. It is his last album with Def Jam, which we should all go out. After CEO Jay-Z left the ship, was the 'veteran' is no longer the most sought after artist by the New York label, LL Cool J had already experienced painful this a few years ago, he also eliminated from contention. Year Even before a tight Nas was forbidden to publish his 'Lost Tapes Vol.2', out there from his environment even an online petition, but this did not bring to roll the thing. Why life is good, he said recently on his Germany tour. After his divorce from his ex-wife Kelis and rumors of tax debts he declared now that he can not complain because after all he is after 18 years still in business, and is the Hustle and the poverty of the road in 1994 escaped when he with 'Illmatic' not only brought out his debut, it is still the album, to the look back many New School MC's and praise it to the skies. Nas is one of the last true poet of the Games, one of the, one of today will be heard the torch out of the Big Apple and beyond was all standing up! With his album 'Hip Hop is Dead', he has contributed to the fact that a lot has changed and the ground has returned back to the roots.

To Album:
No, DJ Premier has not a single track produced! Either comes there's a whole project of the two in the future, or Nas has simply changed and a different style preferred. The Deluxe version provides 18 tracks, all 14 were produced by No ID and Salaam Remi. Also at the controls sat homie Swizz Beatz, Buck Wild, Al Shux and Justice League.
Nas has an interesting mix of this album with Large Professor, Rick Ross, Amy Winehouse, Anthony Hamilton and Mary J.Blige of features at launch. On the one hand legends, on the other the new school and close friends.

The impressive on the album is that many beats were selected apparently deliberately so that you can all live well and with band (he plays in recent years much with tape), good play to the gallery. The instruments and effects are seen as a whole has a completely different level and level, than what we currently hear from others. The mix of old and new school sound is stuck with it received but also the stories. So is' 'Loco-Motive "' (= Crazy Loco), a very successful beat with experienced underground sound. As Feature convinced Large Professor. 'A "Queens Story"' lit again its history and its past, goose bumps! Must we lose words about '"Daughters"'? A very emotional song about his daughter, who now is apparently 17 years old. It's kind of declaration of love and at the same time also an inspiration for all fathers of daughters in the world. For micht the track of the album! '' Reach Out '' with Mary J.Blige no single is surprisingly far and also from Beat her unspectacular, but with a fine sample, namely by Issac Hayes' "Ike's Mood I ''. The beat is' nineties style ', simple drums and a spitting Nas as we know it -' Hammer! Actually I tend already to the seventh track to say that it is his best album, and I almost think he wants to make his label clearly what they are going to lose him. Marvin Gaye is a great example of him, and he got to hear from his dad a lot of old, partially African music, the song with Anthony Hamilton "World's Addiction to" 'is the pure Soul, sound and language of the street .... I am absolutely thrilled!

'"Summer on Smash"' is a track by Swizz Beatz is not necessarily the old Ruff Ryders reflects style, still a nice banger feat. Miguel & Swizz Beatz. '' You would not understand '' is crafted by Buck Wild and sounds a bit trendy, but still has not only a great groove, but with Victoria Monet still a terrific singer in his luggage, which sings a chilled Hook 'also a terrific track ! '"Back When"' is again a tribute to the good old days in New York, Nas flies back in the early 90s, no ID has here really conjured a great beat out of the hat, again lined with a lot of soul! Celebrated by many, I find the track very tiring, but still above average. '' The Don '' is hard! Besides Remi also also Heavy D. (RIP) here had a hand in the game. The drums kill, Raggamuffin influences come probably from him! There are also really quiet tracks on the album "'Stay' 'is then probably really something for us older people who still know Marvin Gaye and his music celebrating' Super!

Also '"Cherry Wine"' is another track with an exceptional artist who is no longer with us. Amy Winehouse makes this track a highlight, also again very soulful and with simple drums! '"Bye Baby"' is securely from Kelis, his ex-wife. It still employs him, he processed it in this very slow track, which again includes a nice sample. '' Nasty '' is almost a freestyle, was here I think no big thinking about the beat, but Nas spits rough going on it! 'The "Black Bound' 'has its own drama, which concerns the beat, sounds very European, perhaps even for a James Bond number, you have time to give you very loud, Mies!

"'Roses'' is also rather slow and with female guest while singing. Stands not know who it is, I do not know the lady. Here I like the piano very well. This is about relationships and the endless search for true love. "'Where''s the Love" 'is the last track, not particularly exciting, but again with strings, drums and simple with no gimmicks! Incidentally, I have '"Accident Murderers'' with Rick Ross forget a track of something reminds me of the structure of beats to the sound of Kanye West and has not flashed at the beginning. The two duo kill all definitely and "bring us hence accidentally to" '

Friends, this album does not compare with Illmatic or his albums from the nineties, it's the year 2012. This album is a hammer, even though many of you probably have problems with the slow tracks. Nas is a poet, perhaps the last true in Game. This album is a classic for me, because the overall image consisting of beats, features, text, drama and feeling absolutely right! Nas was the competition has always been one step ahead, with this album he proves that he has become more mature!

Thank you for reading's that I have rarely given so easy 5 stars!
