Rapper Nas released his 10th solo LP “Life Is Good” Tuesday. The 38-year-old Queens rapper, whose famous for hits like “If I Ruled The World (Imagine That),” “Made You Look” and “Hip Hop is Dead,” dedicated his latest album to his daughter Destiny and ex-wife, R&B singer Kelis. In “Daughters” the rapper discusses the difficulties of raising a teenage daughter and even criticizes his parenting, while “Bye Baby” directly addresses his relationship with Kelis.
The rapper, whose 1994 debut album “Illmatic” is considered to be one of the best hip-hop albums of all time, illustrates a very different way of thinking in his latest LP. “I came from saying, ‘Life’s a [expletive]and then you die’ to ‘Life Is Good,’ so it’s a whole journey that you go through to understand why I’m feeling this way,” Nas said.
