    Yes, because it happened before...

    Nas' 2008 album 'Untitled' was originally meant to be titled '? '; but he wasn't able to use that title, hence the inspiration of 'The ? Tape' (a mixtape that was released around the time the album was released)...

    Nas has really always been my favorite rapper. I was 14 when illmatic dropped and I used to listen to it when I went to sleep at night...it got me through a lot of ? ...just the beat from the world is yours alone used to put me in a thinking mood and then came the lyrics. I have bought every Nas album besides the ? album. I mean...it shouldn't be a surprise to you that Nas is anyone's favorite m.c. he was most people's favorite m.c. cuz he was the coldest. But dude lost somethin after ? 's Son honestly. On Streets Disciple he put a lot of ? filler on their just to sell a double album when he could have made the album a classic by pulling all the garbage off the album (the ? is a suicide bounce?). Maybe i'm being too critical, but shouldn't you hold the "greatest" to a higher standard? Then he dropped hip hop is dead...besides hold down the block...mastermind...dreamin and can't forget about you (hip hop is dead was theifs theme sped up ... come on Nas...) I don't remember ? from that album. That's FOUR TRACKS. ? ...man I don't even wanna talk about that...maybe four or five...I don't give a ? about fox news...that's some white people ? ...? don't watch fox news and I don't give a ? what they think about us or what they put out there. They only put out what their racist audience wants to see...so miss me with that ? , then the protest... CORN BALL! So now Nas is coming out with an album called Life is good and I'm not excited. I'll listen to it...but he came with two duds (by Nas STANDARDS) and I'm going to wait and see if he's motivated this time around. You should too.

    I agree, but Sly Fox as well as that whole album is my ? ...and you're right Black Folks doesn't usually watch (and shouldn't watch) Fox news, but what's wrong with shedding light on how the biggest news station shovels dirt on your people and your culture with filthy propaganda?...being that we might not know, because we don't usually watch it

    I can hear that argument. Nas might have just wanted to shine light on it...I just feel like ? a fox news. Yo.... Nas has definately taken a step down though.

    Being that his last two album titles were controversial and were pretty complex, it's natural that this one is safe and simple. I'm looking forward to it.

    It's safe and simple but yall know Nas can do so much with it. Like listen to the first 2 tracks off Untitled.. his music creativity is unmatched. He said it's gonna be something new and fresh.

    I'm thinking that the content and lyrics won't reflect the title. I could be wrong but I think that the title will be a play off how everyone thinks "Life Is Good" on the surface, but underneath it all is the turmoil and pain that come with the "good life". I think Nas's lyrics will reflect the dark side of the "good life".

    Ding ding you hit the nail on the head. I'm thinking the same thing. Except I think it will have both sides.. positive and negative.

    Whatever Nas puts out is a bonus now Imo. He cemented that GOAT Status after he recorded Distant Relatives. Im not lookin for Nas to try and relive the 90s glory, he should feature Amy winehouse,Jay Elec,Damian,dead prez maybe common. Definately gon cope it

    Its because that name was illegal. Who said that Life Is Good is illegal?
