This song has been confirmed NOT to be on the album. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.145.233 ( talk) 02:02, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
This page for The Don (Nas song) was recently created. It has no sources and very little information for it to stand alone as an article, so I propose it be merged into this article since it is a song on this album. Comatmebro ( talk) 06:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm adding Accident Murderers to the merge proposal for the same reasons. Based on WP:notability (songs) these song articles do not meet the notability criteria and are unlikely to expand beyond stubs. Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 06:25, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
With the extensive expansion that has happened on The Don (Nas song), it looks like there's no need for a merge now. Comatmebro ~Come at me~ 23:40, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
Salaam Remi did not co-produce this song. No ID is the only producer. I put the reference of the official tracklist. Not some random site that says otherwise. User 108.228.145.233 keeps undoing this and putting Salaam Remi back to the article. By all the conversations that he's been involved, he clearly is a disruptive user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renangms ( talk • contribs) 00:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC) There is nothing disruptive about what Ive been doing, Ive been citing my MANY resources & ALL of them have listed Salaam Remi as a co-producer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.145.233 ( talk) 18:17, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
With my revision to the article, I restored the Observer review. Regarding the publication's notability, XXL is for hip hop albums, whereas The Observer reviews all albums, which I'd think would make it an NPOV choice over XXL; the latter rates albums, or only hip hop albums in its case, higher than other critics [2]. In any case, the template as it is now is a more neutral representation of critics' ratings, and w/Slant's near-perfect rating included, XXL's would be a bit too partial to the few critics that gave the album more than a four-star, or equivalent, rating. Dan56 ( talk) 17:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
-With all do respect, Dan, that's bull. XXL does NOT rate all hip hop albums with high marks. The bias with Wiki editors is astounding. It's as if you guys don't want to show that one reviewer actually appreciated the album to its fullest extent. I think it's more "biased" to remove a critic's point of view and be so selective about it based on your own POV. 74.109.42.182 ( talk)
-I fail to see your point (I understand it, but I don't get it). It can be argued that Rolling Stone is biased/less neutral towards older acts, but I'll leave that argument alone since XXL claims hip-hop coverage exclusively. Punk, metal, and hardcore bands get reviews from, well, sites that specialize in punk and metal (PunkNews, Lambgoat, AbsolutePunk and so on). So, I kind of find this action coming more from your personal preference (yes, I saw the WP:ALBUMS link). See a list of reviews in the past that have been approved for XXL on Wikipedia: 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Rich_or_Die_Tryin%27_%28album%29 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_%28Common_album%29 3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enter_the_Wu-Tang_%2836_Chambers%29 and the list goes on forever. Are you going to remove those? If XXL does indeed fall into this category you've put them in, then either Wiki is inconsistent with enforcing its rules, or there is currently editorial bias at play. Neither of which can be taken very seriously in such case. 74.109.42.182 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
DAn56 or whatever they call u. i added the xxl rating for life is good when there were only 4 ratings and you kept removing it adding the one you like.XXL rating are on other albums such as get rich or die trying i dont c why my edit keeps getting deleted and now uthe page is semi protected like it belonged to ur father or something.smh!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wayn12 ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Its stupid, petty stuff like this that turned me off editing wikipedia for the past few months... By your logic Dan56, all XXL magazine ratings should be removed from the templates on recent album articles. I think it is perfectly reasonable to allocate one space in the template to a widely respected hip hop magazine. And judging by the amount of times XXL's rating has been added and removed from the template, this is not simply "fancruft", as you suggest. Green-Halcyon (formerly Aunty-S) ( talk) 18:32, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Slant Magazine and the AV Club also gave the album a very high rating, should they be removed too? I also had a quick look at the reviews added up by Metacritic, and there are no reviews panning the album. Does this mean that Metacritic is biased with its accumulated score? Green-Halcyon (formerly Aunty-S) ( talk) 19:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Dan 56 please stop tampering with my edits. as from now i will be making edits(sourced) to this page and please dont go changing edits i made on other pages.as for the xxl ranking i added it on there a few minutes after it was reviewed even though i had no profile on here then it is nt fair that it keeps getting removed.i will be editing this page as well as other pages which i feel are not being handled well Wayn12 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:27, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
I dont think he listened, Noommos; just went against "consensus". Dan56 ( talk) 02:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm mostly a reader but I had to change this one thing. The article stated that Distant Relatives is his ninth album, while clearly Untitled is. Don't change it back again please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.45.217.43 ( talk) 13:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I just changed the official release date of Life Is Good back to July 17. The July 13 release date was only for Germany exclusively, July 17 is the official US release date which falls on a Tuesday as per albums entered on Billboard. This goes for the single "Daughters" which i find stating was release on July 17, I changed it back to May 1 as stated on its iTunes. Enots86 (talk)
I said before that wikipedia said that it was his ninth studio album, and now it's his eleventh? It's his tenth SOLO studio album, and if you count collaboration albums then why don't we count The Firm? This is either is 12th studio album or, like most people say, his 10th Solo album. I'd prefer last one, change it to either one of them instead of providing incorrect information please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.45.217.43 ( talk) 12:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
But You understand what I'm saying right? Mister Nas himself said before that his TENTH ALBUM, Life is Good, would be something special.. Let's make the difference between a Collaboration album and a Studio Album, as it is being named on the Wikipedia page of Nas. I think it should be his tenth studio album then, or the Nas wikipedia page is wrong. Either way, something should be changed right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.45.217.43 ( talk) 21:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Please change Nas “Life is Good” album to his tenth album instead of eleventh. He has a total of 15 studio albums. I never understood why Wikipedia never has his number of albums correct. Jmi841 ( talk) 04:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
