has anyone's favorite song/albums list changed outside of Channel Orange?
The only recent album I'd list among my favourites this year is Life is Good.
From: CherryCokes | #098
also, reading the Life is Good review, this paragraph is the truest thing Pitchfork has ever published
Life Is Good is so consistent, in fact, that it's disorienting, and those of us with a long history navigating Nas albums will have a lot of pressing questions: What are all these top-shelf beats doing here? Where are the queasy sex jams, the songs rapped from the perspective of heroin spoons or discarded E&J bottles, the choruses about being a Warrior and a Hero? Where is the blindingly ill-fitting Nas Radio Bid? (The lone example, the Swizz Beatz-produced "Summer on Smash", is just inoffensively generic.) But above all: What happened this time?
"Summer on Smash" is anything but inoffensive. And I'm not a fan of the review; it wasn't written by Ian Cohen, but Jayson Greene is just as bad.
But here's some good news!
