Nas Names Best Rap Album Of 2012, Says He's Started New LP

"Life is Good", Nas 11th studio album, only dropped last summer but already the Queensbridge hero is at it again with a new LP on the stove.

During a recent interview with the Associated Press, Nasir revealed that work on album #12 has begun.

"Yes. It has started. I must tell you. I can't stop now. I'm in a great zone," he said.

When asked to name his top hip hop album of 2012, Nas didn't hesitate before picking Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" and Meek Mill's "Dreams & Nightmares".

"No disrespect to nobody else in rap music, but Kendrick Lamar. I'm really happy about his record. I needed that. His record reaches you. It gives you hope. ... Also, Meek Mill. His energy is amazing."

Kendrick and Meek must be beaming to get a bump from such a living legend of the game.

Do you agree with his album picks for best of 2012?

Nas is right though. Meek Mill's energy in his track's have been unparalleled. Meek knows how to get listeners hyped.
