    Used to be on KTT back in the day, then I looked for the board again and found KTT2 sign ups were locked so now I'm over here. This place seems better for more intimate discussion anyways, so I'm not complaining.

    Glad to be your friend!

    I think that structurally 4:44 may be a better album - it's more concise, tighter and cleaner; but content wise, Life is Good is the better album no doubt. 4:44 is a great record but was geared in a direction to basically serve as propaganda for Tidal. It divides its attention in to just two avenues - the fallout from cheating on Beyonce - and his quest to define blackness via Tidal. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, but Life is Good touches on so much more than that. Jay's the better rapper, and has the better discog - but Nas has aged far more gracefully than Jay has (especially with the NFL sell out stuff).

    Do you think 4:44 is better than Life is Good? I like 4:44 but appreciated Life is Good more than that. Jays discography is way better than Nas's, but Jay is fake af

    Not bad first listen. Better than Nasir. The Firm track should've had Dre production...nothing really wrong with it, just kind of boring.

    The Cure beat with that switch is fire tho. Def my favorite track

    People will probably make fun of this but 444 is the definition of a grown men rap album.

    idk if i agree. i like this way way more than the kanye tracks. its pretty tight and polished. feels like nas but w a crisper production. good space for him 27 years into his career

    Life is Good is much better than 4:44. It was a reshuffle away from classic in my opinion.

    King's Disease is good on first listen, possibly great. Needs many more spins.
