FIRST SNITCHES!!!

yup...NAS is BACK

damn, nas really did it on this one.

As time goes on Nas seems like he's losing his luster..... On the real sounds like he's got a stuffy nose while he's spittin his rhyme...???

I'm just wondering though...a WHOLE album about the word might just be a lil bit redundant though...I don't know, time will tell...

To those who don't realize. THAT IS WHAT A TOP FIVE MC DOES!

if you understand english you will see THIS IS THE SONG OF 2008

if you understand english you will see THIS IS THE SONG OF 2008

98% PERCENT OF SOUTH, N.I.G.G.E.R. I DONT MEAN IT LIKE A SLAVE MASTER. "JAM YOU AT THE CLUB" WHERE YOU PARK YOUR CAR WITH RIMS THAT COST MORE THEN THE CAR. AND SPEND YOUR MONEY IN A CLUB FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS OF DRINKING A HAVING YOUR MIND DISTORTED TO FORGET ABOUT LIFE. WHILE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LIVED IT. IT'S WHITE KIDS OUT HERE AND ASIAN KID WITH MILLION DOLLAR COMPANYS THAT THEY MADE THERE SELF.  NO I THINK YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE.

Nasty at it....keepin shit far from dead

if you hate on this then idk what drugs u on... nas best rapper over the last 15+ years...  jay up there but everybody else can go home

wasn't all the way feelin this one. production was dope but Nas's delivery and flow seemed very half-assed. i like "Be A Nigger Too" much better.

Nas still dropped lyrical gems as usual though.

Here we go....I'll let the goons deal with this one.

Man i never comment on songs that much, but this shit is the best song I've heard in a minute. His album is going to be one of his best. Every since his resurrection from the battle with Jay, it just seems like he knows his future. Like he's not confused on his craft.  Because before the battle, Nas was lost. He didn't know his place. The Nastradamus album is proof. But now he's better than ever. Nas needs to write Jay-Z a thank you note asap!!!

@BK PLATANO

I understand what you sayin but I just didnt think Nas was goin give up and lose the fight against the censorship machine. I miss the dayz when niggas wasnt scared to say whatever the fuck they wanted and hip hop wasnt so censored(when was the last time you seen a chick with a shoe string for a bathing suit shake that booty meat in a video getting played on BET and MTV lmao).I mean this is a sign to me that hip hop is just going to get so watered down to the point where all the underground cats is gonna drown and alot of great artist are gonna go all SAIGON and JEAN GRAE on niggaz and quit.But I guess thats what happens when shit gets into them corporate hands.....

Nice...some real talk not that fu*k everybody I'm bulletproof(Shook) shit..

Gotta respect Nas for his thoughts and way of thinkin'. Alot of us either from the hood, suburbs or whatever.. just fallow the flow of our surroundings(Monkey C, Monkey do) either it's good or bad, negative or positive but some of us slow up and analyze the situation. N-A-S NAs!, NAs!, NAs...

Makes me chill out for a moment, time stops... & that's real music..

By the way this sounds like DJ Toomp produced it.

@ PINKY:

I FEEL WHAT YOU SAYING BUT WE CAN'T DENY THAT THE MAINSTREAM WHITE POPULATION IS WHO GOES OUT AND COPS CDS...THEY TRYING TO GET PAID AND I'M SURE NAS IS TOO...IF HE WANTED TO DO THIS STRICTLY FOR THE ART OF IT, HE WOULD'VE JUST RELEASED THESE SONGS FOR FREE ONLINE, BUT HE GOTTA EAT AND SO DO HIS BOSSES....I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT START THOUGH...NAS IS FINDING A WAY TO WORK WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND PROTEST WITHOUT ISOLATING HIS TARGET AUDIENCE OR LOSING HIS CASH...I GOTTA HEAR THE REST OF HIS ALBUM, BUT I THINK IN COMPARISON TO OTHER MAINSTREAM RAPPERS, HIM AND KANYE AND LUPE WHO IS SEMI-MAINSTREAM REALLY CONSISTENTLY RAPPING ABOUT REAL SHIT AND TRYING TO SEND OUT A MESSAGE.  I THINK WE GOTTA GIVE NAS CREDIT...HE COULD JUST BE RAPPING ABOUT MONEY, CARS, DRUGS, AND HOES, AND PARTY MUSIC LIKE MOST OTHER RAPPERS SEEM TO DO THESE DAYS

Nas is back on top

Track wuz cool... I will be coppin' da album 4 sho...!!!

Getin repetative Nas

Nas kicking that X-clan type knowledge. Most of you on here probably don't even know who X-clan is (peep it ) but anyway the game needs some this right now, something to stimulate your mind a little, instead  of all this ignorant bullshit being put out by the masses in hip hop. Nas keep doing your thing my brotha.

NAS IS THE TRUTH, PERIOD. BUT THAT AIN'T HIS USUAL VOICE. THIS SHIT IS CHOPPED UP 4 SURE. JUST HOPE HE AIN'T SIPPIN CODEINE.

ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!

DAMN....I AIN'T HEARD COME LIKE THIS IN A WHILE.IF HIS ALBUM SOULD LIKE THIS I MIGHT HAVE TO COP IT TWICE.


http://www.myspace.com/allthingshiphop

Naz is not the same rapper he was back then, not feeling him, too be honest never really liked his songs. The topics were good but never concentrated on his or on that note Jay-Z's music, i know there are die hard fans on here so im not going to comment on this track and compare to his previous because most likely i never probably heard em in detail!!

But i will tell you this, rappers actors, comedians, street gangstas, hoodlums, women, men kids, have glorified the N word, i aint gonna use it because im not black, but id such a mass population use the word then one rapper as much as it is a step in the right direction is not gonna change that, make that 2 rappers because cham is also doing the same.

But i know where yall coming from because i find it cool to be called a Paki by my boyz, but when a non pakistani calls me that i trip. maybe we have glorified both words for our use only, if we feel we can call ourselves by these words then other people will have the ability to do so at will. If such a mass population is using these words then we have no control over this whatsoever, why limit ourselves and glorify words that are originally there to degrade us!!

Just a point.

REAL HIP HOP . SUPPORT YOUR NIGGA NAS .

NAS IS THE BEST IN THE GAME PERIOD!!!! KEEP IT COMMIN ESCO!!!! I SEE YOUR MISSION!!!

All I got to say is WOW! Great song!

Damn he came hard on this one Nasty Nas the truth I swear

THIS SONG IS FIRE. NAS SPIT AND THE TRACK IS HOT. I WOULD HOPE THIS ONE WOULD GET SOME RADIO SPINS BUT YOU KNOW IT WONT....TOO BAD.  NOW ALL THAT BEING SAID I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO OUT AND SUPPORT IT.

this album going to be fire

The reeeeaaaal is back.....  Big up to nas on this one.. Check out "the gang silence" on youtube... CRACK MUSIC. check it out. chaiiiiii

Nas still can rap his ass off but I think people just don't want to hear him anymore. He's great for and collabo but I don't want to hear a whole album of this dude.

um... won't get radio play. And therein lies the problem with Nas. He's a gifted MC but this is A BUSINESS FIRST! NOT A CHURCH OR  SOCIAL SERVICE. THE DEVIL INVESTS IN HIM TO GET A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND WHAT DOES HE DO? MAKE PREACHY, NON HITS THAT WON'T HIT THE TOP 20. NAS TAKE A PAGE OUT OF HOVA'S BOOK AND YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE.

We out!

THIS IS FIRE MY NIGGA

YO 2 EVERYBODY ON AHH-ANYBODY KNOW WHEN THE ALBUM DROPS?

ima cop it, watch somebody hate... listen to the nigga words man.. wont get radio play cuz it aint talking bout drugs etc.. but yanno what? marvin refused to do anymore music until whats goin on got played.. Berry Gordy said it was "uncommerical" now its considered one of the greatest songs of all time and was a huge hit. still relevent today.. so ima support nas on this one... he saying what pac woulda said if he was still alive. do yall research

WOW!!

classic track....i even think it sounds screwed just a touch which i pesonally like.....it distorted his voice a touch which niggas in the south gone jam anyways.....and for ol boy who said the south better wake up...im florida 100% and we been jamming NAS.....im 35 and maybe BET gotcha fooled about the south but its alot of support for NAS down here....its alot of support for real hip hop down here.....so dont believe everything you see on tv....we all dont wear grills, or we all dont say haaanh like the ying yang twins.....Most of ya black colleges is in the south.....im a alumni of bethune cookman....so just know the south got love......but as far as the track.....its classic....

A DJ Toomp track with Nas?  if so, i'm loving this shit!!!  cant wait til this shit drop, ima definitely cop 3 copies, no lie

First off let me say this sh*t is the truth which is why Nas was always been in a category of his own. He is top 3 hands down


@v4vendetta

what u just said is why the music game is all messed up since when is expression a business that is why we can't get good music cause artists treat it like a business first art second..
If Nas album sell 2,000 copies does that mean his content was no good and if 50 sell 2million does that mean his content was good no not at all.

I suppport Nas also 100% this is what needs to be talked about we in a recession and whp wants to hear about rides, bling, and hoes thats how the real problems are covered up now by entertaining our blind a**es wake up..

@Hemi..great engine by the way..

Yo check this out, homeboy. Your artistic expression is limited within a corporate realm driven by profit. I didn't create the rules just spittin the facts!! I mean Nas is 9 albums deep and his money is no where near Jay's or even newcomer 50cent's!! Now you will say it's not about money it's about keeping it real on the mic! But I will say when the electric gets cut off, or that car gets repo'd or that foreclosure goes down, it comes down to money. If you're in it to just "keeping it real" then you are damn fool!!  Old white guys are getting billions and you just want to keep HiP Hop real??? You need your heads examined! NEWSFLASH!! This is a commercial matrix my dude and Hip Hop been on that track hoeing for the corporate pimps ever since Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince received that Grammy!!! I love NAS too I just want him and you and me to have a few hundred million too. Why should all the others have all the fun?

We out!!

(N.Y. DO OR DIE 4LIFE)

@v4vendetta

thanks its fast too...

i do understand where you are comin from homie I am in the business game and i was working for a company and decided to start my own business because why make them rich..

He is not anywhere near Jay or 50 but all i am saying is that money makes the world go round , but it is also the root of all  evil just the same... We need people like Nas and music like this to keep stuff in balance...  The music game is a business and the fact that he has enough courage to come out with an album like this and bring this before the whites in suits shows his courage.... At the award show when he was wearing a Nigger shirt  people were saying how stupid he was and that was....

All I am saying is he is trying to make a change and bring things to light that need to be brought to light and talked about.... At the end of the day it is all about the dollar but rap music was saying something before money got involved check the history P.E., Slick Rick, X-Clan, Geto Boys, Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, NWA all these groups talked about real stuff it just so happen to be that they got paid for it a little but they would have still made the music anyway...

We need music that uplifts from time to time and like someone else said when we looked back at Marvin Gayes whats going on and NWA albums they are thought of as greatest of there era and Nas will be appreciated more when he is gone and we look back..

I am a business owner and I am paving the way but all I am saying is we needs Nas and Dead Pres and Talib and those artists as much as we need 50& Jay

holla

Definitely a must cop....track was smooth as hell 2....

dis beat crazy at the begining it sounds like the group "Blue Magic" or "The Stylistics" or sum shit but Nas lyrics are incredible we need this in hip hop rite now more than ever

10/10 Need I Say MORE!!!

Man what can I say? If niggas find a way to cpmplain about this then they are on the wrong site because this is hip hop at it's finest. I don't know if I like his voice screwed up like that but he probably did it for thoes that don't normally listen can hear what he is saying. MUSICAL GENIUS.

@v4vendetta

Everyone has their opinion and with that, discussion is interesting.

I am failing to understand your motivation though, for going on about Nas not having as much as Jay-Z or 50 Cent or the business matrix we are all in.

Nas decided to do something for his own purposes. Of course, part of that is financial reasons, but apparently, money may not be his top priority, as he's decided to couple this message so deeply in this current cd.

That's his personal decision to make. We don't know his financial situation. He may very well be far removed from days scared his bills will be late or his electricity will be cut off.

It reminds me of one of those movie scenes where a disaster happens, in this case, Hip Hop current route and people yell out, "Will no one fight for us"? You sound like that suit that would be in the back talking about, "I wouldn't be a hero, that guy is stupid", lol.

It kills me when I hear folks coming back to money like it's God on this planet. The fact of the matter is, that grown man decided his intent was to put out this type of music at this point in his career, not worry about the next way to financially overtake Jay-Z and 50.

That sounds like a damn little girl plotting in her room.

Also, that commercial matrix you talked about; it's based on the never ending pursuit of the dollar being dangled in front of you to make you keep going. Forgive Nas or moving for his own purpose as opposed to the carrot you treasure so much being dangled.

Last thing; to the crab mentality out there, how many of you are going to buy the cd and how many download?.... Yeah, "WE OUT"

@hiphopcritic

What you know about the south or hiphop, you cats need to kill yourself. What about GoodieMob, OuttKast, Fieldmob, or a lot of southern cats that don't get any respect lyrically. I'm a Nas fan but homeboy did not invent the struggle, and people from up north do not have a monopoly on lyrical ability. Now concerning rims, dude are you buying the rims for them cars, if not kill yourself hater, are you mad because you don't have any, let me guess you gotta a 20 year old benz living with your moms like you a baller, stop hating.

@NEOSHELL..

You seem to have missed my point totally.
It's not about money worship. It's about survival. yes it *is* the common denominator in this society. Sad but true. But the fact is some silver haired middle-aged white guy(who doesn't even listen to rap) will make 10 times the money NAS will see off of that cd. That's business my friend. inescapable. So while we are nodding our heads to the "deep" lyrics and funky beat, this man will send his children to college on the strength of this cd. So my point is at what level do we say, "hey, I know somebody's getting rich and eating on my account, now let me get rich by owning my masters, and my label"?? I am for empowerment and making a path to success is not an inherently evil idea. Why must we always forego getting the dough in the name of keeping it real? While others stack and even use their newly acquired wealth to further insulate themselves from your entry. It's an acute sickness we suffer from dating back to slavery. Yes Nas can make whatever song he wants but notive how he had to back-pedal on the title? See, he had to compromise, because it's not his house. Nowadays your rights are connected to how much cake you have. These elitist folk see most of us as "useless eaters" to be depopulated since you do not have share their bloodline.(like your homeboy Barack is related to Cheney and Bush) So it's time to get paid and prepare for what's coming. Knowledge and information are power. Couple those with money and you're unstoppable!!

We out. But not out of our minds like some.

damn right step in the right direction.. his voice sounds funny but the beat is on point and each bar was a gem.. some thought provoking issh..  i cant wait for the album and Nas is one dude i would buy an album for.. other rappers besides nas, jay, little brother, lupe & TI i hav to listen to the bootleg first b4 buying... dont blame me blame the garbage some of these rappers put out...

Lyrically,Props.



musiK BS==== I C u ma, lookin' legit. ;)    

@NeoShell & @v4vendetta
Yall both are on point with your views.  Me and my homie use to have that same discussion.  We live in a capitalist society, so of course, money is the root of all power and evil.  I commend the Jay's, 50's and Russells for taking it to the next business level and illustrating the options for those who don't know or understand.  I also commend the Nas's and Dave Chapelle's who put money and fame secondary to doing what they feel is right for our people as a whole.  IMO, we should try to mimic the best attributes from both groups and use those to rebuild our communities and educate our people to the American game...cause that's really all it is...real life Monopoly.

Nigs don't understand with the title change the name don't mean shit all he wanted was controversy that means most of his money doesn't have to go advertisement cuz nigs is talking about it. Imagine how much people are dropping out of Koch Records and nobody knows. Nas is goint to pocket that advance money like he did the same thing with Hip Hop is dead he had nigs upset even other rappers etc. If he was to not change the name Walmart, Target, and probably Bestbuy is not having it then nigs would be talking more shit about the album flopped. On the side note I think he need to grab Cormega up.

@v4vendetta said:

He still could not have used that title even if he was independent....

I think your are a smart man but the white man in the suit eating off of us is not just music its shoes, cars, clothes, etc and that comes from the fact that we do not support each other to the degree that we can be in that position. What you are talking about is deeper than music and that is a much larger conversations we do not own such things because blacks have just started to aquire wealth in the last 20yrs. I take it you only wear Sean John (not Rockawear Jay-Z sold those rights) and supports all black causes this cd is a black cause and this is about the content not the title which did not change.....

I only hope that you go out and buy the cd not to put dollars in the white mans pocket but to show the artist Nas that you appreciate his black history schooling that he is giving us... This cd says more black names in just the two songs I heard then I ever got in my whole education and I am a college grad...

The choice is yours but we should support each other

and how many times do I have to say I love Nas? But a little critical analysis can go a long way. If he doesn't want his own label and own his masters then I am not so sure he is convincing when taking on this liberating nationalist posture. It just seems phoney. Learn from the master P's and Jay Z's of the world. Even PDiddy can teah you something. They did do a vid together.. "Hate me Now".. Name his last chart-topping hit?? OOchie Wally?
From a biz standpoint, it's like I will just be happy to break even off of this..um..Nigger!

*saying it like an old white exec*

THE MESSAGE WAS A GOOD ONE BUT THE SCREWED UP EFFECT TUNED MEOFF FROM THE RECORD

@v4vendetta

Ok, I see what you're saying more clearer. It kills me when cats are worshipping money; yet, live in contradiction of that simple-ass state of motivation.

I mistook you though. I totally agree on the subject of basically assisting others in raping oneself from bearing much of the fruits of labor. Whether it's this cd, a label, television, so on. I totally agree.

Notwithstanding, I believe there are times where one may forgo the immediate, personal, financial return for the long-term investment in ones own people. And that was really the basis of my first argument.

I understand it's a business and all, but have you been listening to this music lately? Looked at the media as a whole lately? I'm asking because for the most part, I've been forced away from it by the offensive shit going on. From the songs on radio being a "Bust It Baby", "Lollipop" (which I like), "Pop Bottles" and so on, constantly rotating... It gets to a point where, when the moons align and there's a song like this from Nas, some songs from the Roots, Joell Ortiz (if ever), the potential money return is an understandable investment in not only having something worth listening to, but putting ones own culture (hip hop, for example) back in a respectable bracket.

Basically, if you were a millionaire already (assuming he is), could you entertain the notion of forgoing yet another commercial hit for the impact of a positive message to your culture and possibly making a difference? Because if not for these instances, we're left with two choices, 1. Little girls listening to shit like, "I juss gave her a nick name, it's wet-wet/
Cause when we finished she mess up all the bedsets"  and then we act like we don't know what the hell happened to us or 2. Just abandon the damn genre and go to the catalog from the oldheads where they were actually saying something.

Last thing, I was a little agitated to start the day off, so I apologize for the little Suit comment in the first post.

Nas got his masters from Colombia when he left

@Hemi .. I feel you bro.. I am older than Nas so he's not saying anything I haven't heard before. It's good food for the younguns I suppose. Yes, I will support Nas but my mind clicks crazily and I will say, "damn, how much did nas make off of my purchase? 35cents? *raises black power fist*

We out!

Ive only fucked wit 3 of Nas albums ( Illmatic, I AM and Stillmatic) but this shit might turn out to be his best album. Everything so far is crazy and he actually got good tracks this time around so far. This is some shit I would bump a year from now. This aint hott its timeless!

@Hemi..

That's the late great Larry Davis throwin it up...

Free um.. Damn no one to free..

Oh yeah, Free Remy..

We out!

MC Hammer style... 2 legit 2 quit

Free Shyne

Free Marion Jones

Free Mick Vick

always somebody to free LOL

Larry Davis was the man read up on him

Nas is the man!  I like how he puts out what needs to be heard.  Although I don't like the 'N' word, I'm cool with the song and the album.  I was tempted to join the ranks of the haters that didn't like the fact that he changed the name, but then I realized that he just want the people to have this album.  The message won't change, just the name.  And right now, we all know the point he's trying to get across with this album, so the name shouldn't make any difference at this point.  Definitely coppin' this one when it drops.  ONE!

This cat is what Mc's try to be in their dreams. He has all of the skills a Mc should have. Dj Premeir said it best " Nas is the best Mc Jayz is the best rapper.

I'm very critical of Nas and felt that he wasn't the dude to come out with an album called "Nigger"...but DAMN!! He surprised me with this one.

Good shit Nas.

It sounds like the song is slower than it should be...

Love the content. I wasn't feeling the beat or the flow. I will cop the album. Nas is showing why he should be in everyone's top 10.

SOUNDS BETTER THAN THAT LIL WAYNE SHIT.

@ v4vendetta

You might as well cut all the business corporation talk. The "business" ain't working no more. Neither is the old formula for putting artist out. That's why the major labels are scared. Because they are sinking ships, and their $5 fast food formula ain't working no more. Everything is digital now. They don't know how the adjust. Radio play? That means absolutely nothing now days. There's plenty of entertainers (because the folks on the radio that I hear are not MCs or even rappers) get spins 20 million times a day. Hit single and all, yet they do not sell 1 album. You got to ask yourself why is that? The answer is because the consumers are tired of that micowave music.

Back to Nas, the song sounds fine to me. I appreciate the substance. For everybody cimplaining about he doesn't sound the same, his voice, blah blah blah. The man is not 18 anymore, he's 35. Stop looking for a re-creation of Illmatic. Just appreciate what he's trying to do now.

damn nas is the man
or should i say damn nas dat nigga. lol
10/10

i'm not a Nas fan, but this song is great

@ hiphopcritic

Don't acknowledge southern rappers like Andre 3000, Big Boi, Scarface, Luda. Don't acknowledge them wack ass rappers from your way like Yayo and Cam's woobily doobily ass. It's only the south...98% of us..

sound like toomp on the track. this ish fie as hell. what kills me though how cats be mad at the bubble gum rap. But some real ish like this surface and cats still aint happy. Just like sports commentators who ain't never played but know everything from the Sidelines. Nas one of the greatest.

church!

no need to reply to hiphop critic cause 98% of the music poppin....is the south. Much respect to Nas and what he's doin tho. It's a shame we listen to everybody's music, but those same ones just stereotype when it comes to the south.

lyrically 10/10
but im still waiting for the beat to drop??? 5/10

Nas fell off, no joke, he naming his album NIGGER for the attention he hasen't been getting, he delusional, talking about releasing a KELIS GREATEST HITS ALBUM?

Naw doggy you had your time.  Not even hatin' Nas is over.

when is the date that we are gonna b graced with this album

I fuks wit Nas he's always kept it real. Im feelin dis track right here.

To Isis or Auset (kemetic pronunciation)
I sell products online so I know a tad little and everything from the publishing to how many points you get on your cd is business. The art is not the centrality no more. The early 80s are over. Yes, the corporate approach has been adjusted to what is known as the "ringtone rapper" and the acessibility of the internet with filesharing. But the principal of investing in an artist with a budget, marketing and promotion, advance and recoupability is still the same.A corporation has shareholders and its' responsibility is primarily to them. NOT OUR COMMUNITY. So when a Nas comes out and speaks truth to power, his influence is somewhat neutered by a corporate media fixated on Britney, Obama, Hillary and Reverend Wright. Unless we can own more of the media share then expect more of the same. Until then, I say go indie if you feel you are a prophet and have that much clout. But chances are, none of the folks who are cheerleading for Nas would even support his indie efforts and that may probably include Jiggaman, Steve Stoute, Kevin lyles, LA Reid, lyor or whoever is running "Deaf Jam" these days!!

We out.

it's ok.. I think if this was a title track, he should've come wayyyyy harder than that.. im begining to think AZ or ghotst writiers was helping him write back in the day.. He dosent have that same potientcy that he once had. Overall, as usual, fair lyrics- horrible hook- fair beat = nas. Im rootin for NAS, but he needs to go back to trackmasters for guidence on how to construct a song from begining to end. During his songs he has a couple of hot lines, but the whole song never commands your attention the whole time.

Yeah...This song is unbelievable! Nas really did his thing with this one. I'm listening again!

i want to say the song was tight and i read wht all yall post and the where great cause yall disagreed and keep it civil and i enjoy dat so keep doing wht u do

Nas!

and yall niggas had the audacity to put lloyd mothafucka banks in top 5.. fuck outta here yall niggas got an F on Homework... nas is in a whole notha category.. i hope he drop this whole album and not one song talkin bout killin a nigga.. or snatchin a bitch...so yall niggas can open up your eyes.. not that i dont fucks wt that shit but my definition of hip hop is versatility... and i incorporate that shit in my own style.. myspace.com/tdoubleon

this track is fire.............. real shit!!!!!!

This a Premo track, he says his name.

NEED BEATS???

http://www.myspace.com/xplizzit

they made his voice deeper for some reason.  Or the track is slowed down.  One of the two.  Nas always comes with the real though.

This is pretty raw. Don't really like the title, but fuck it.

if this is any sign of what the whole album is gonna be like then i will definitely be buying it. this is one of those albums that might be too important for download.


HIP-HOP LIVES!!!!!

this that shit 4real

Shit is like dude painted a picture or shot a movie or something. Nas is a GOD amongst men. More shit like this is needed. Fact that Nas ain't commercial should say alot to us as a people. This is definitely for the people. I definitely can relate to this track.

NAS IS THE BEST FUCC THE HATERS CUZZ THAT RIGHT.........

One of the Hottest M.C.'s He should've Been on that List!!!!!!!! Some of Them M.C.'s Was Suspect to me. Nas can cover wide range in topics too. Like Papoose,Busta,Styles,Kiss and A few More. Start Reading my Brothers and Sisters.

4.5

It's just like Nas said on that interview he did with Jay and Sway, "I'm the most criticized artist in the game." Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Let's just get back to the music and the message.

N.A.S. (Nigga. Against. Society)

FINALLY!!! A song form the now Untitled album i can actually sit through and listen, I will cop along with the Theater Of Mind album

this is exactly what the game needs nas is rappin w/ some substance this is food for thought right here cant wait for the album best song i heard in a while

There are only a few rappers who can still give me chills. Nas is that dude.  If hip hop is dead mainstream america killed it.  Hip hop needs to fall off so it can return back to the underground.  We should take notes from Ice Cube and cut out the middle men (major labels) and distribute the music ourselves.  The current men and women who control hip hop dont appreciate it the culture and dont listen to rap when they go home but are sucking the culture dry.  We dont need major labels they need us!

It's Patrice Lumumba God. You need to be knowing who this brother is too. He do look like Terrence though.

He slowed it up so niggas can get the message...I'm lovin' it...I hate he gave in on naming his album N.I.G.G.E.R but then again the society we live in won't let it go...

Am I the only one who feels like this but dosent this sound like the dude who did that voice over for that Dr. Dre track that got leaked, this don't sound nothin like Nas but the song go hard... Its good that he put this out to change the pace of the game right now...

All these niggas on here talking bout sales, HA... nigga nobody is selling, nobody will be selling, no matter what. So might as well do wat u wanna do. His voice sounds really slowed down on this, I don't like that, but its cool.

Lyrics + hot beat + nas = classic

Yo his voice on the chorus he's the slave master, and on the verse's he's the slave.. That's why his voice changes niggas.. This shit's over heads that's why he's the GREATEST EMCEE of all time.....

real music. this is too conceptual for the down south music fans on here.

this 19 year old has no clue about nas. nas does NOTHING for promotion. he just wants to rap that is all. he is not interested in any awards, videos or recognition. do you not think nas couldnt make "radio hits" if he wanted to?

wasn't surprised that this track wasn't wack if you think its wack i'll give you advice stay in school or get your G.E.D / Read a fucking book im tired of the ignorant comments.

NEW YORK BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT SHIT THIS IS HARD I LOVE NEW YORK IS BACK!!!!!!   NAS IS BACK... I LOVE THIS SONG CAN'T WAIT 4 THE ALBUM

Nas is Hip-hop
cant wait for that album

This shit sucks! I hope this isnt the real tempo of the song. I understand that Nas hopes to have a message, though I have always felt his messages were unclear and subject to interpretation.

This track is by far the most boring track I've ever heard...and all I get out of it is that 'we were scholars before colleges.' No emotion, nothing to make me believe that he believes in what he's trying to say

Yall are some dick riders...if Lloyd Banks released this trash, nobody would post the same comments. Fuck outta here - try again Nas  

im gettin tired of nas. i mean he needs to change something, his flow maybe????? same ol same ol. he is a great emcee though.

"Do I mean it like a slave master?

No
Im
Gangster
Gotta
Eat slave
Rappers"

...One of the dopest lines of the year!!!
Im glad to hear a song with real substance.

So I dont need to hate because I have to many that hate one me. Been more states & countrys then you seen on T.V. But get the point dude you dont have to be a "trap star" to get money. fu#kin rats.

we called him that because he put dudes in there all the time. But he never got out of the hood mentality.

@v4vendetta
please try to understand that hip-hop originally was never about topping the charts. It was about getting your views across to the people and having fun. NOT about record sales and who is the best rapper.  If Nas' previous 2 albums and blatantly stating it in interviews hasnt proven that he doesn't care about sales, then nothing will.  Why does he need to start his own label? So he can distribute an album with the title he originally chose? That's rediculous. People remember album titles simply to recall specific tracks on the album. It's about the content. Music for the thinking man. I see no need for him to conform his style into what many of these artists consider hip-hop today.

And to those who are still criticizing over the album title, please do your research before saying he's just backing down due to pressure.

It's always all business...

On the real, NAS wouldn't eat if he didn't sign to Def Jam.

Really tho.

Everything is under a corporate umbrella.

...and if you invest, you want your hand in everything [prosperous]-

Believe that.

That's why Wal-Mart gets $1 out of every $15 in your pocket (fact)... and the whole world wants/has a piece of Wal-Mart in their investment portfolio.

Word of the day: Umbrella

Peace to NAS. I'm sure he's praying that we all get the picture.

Andre3000 does cartoons because our generation is wacked out already. He's starting with the kids- the root.

Think about that.

if yall hatin this shit, then you arent listening to the lyrics and getting the message at hand. thanks for keeping hip hop alive nas.

I've been heavily anticipating The Game's release... but Nas always been my boy... and he sealed it here. LAX gonna be classic, but NI**ER gonna be that shit brought out by a classic artist. This shit is even ahead of Nas... God damn I fucks with this shit.

oh yeah, this is official but it sounds screwed

Im definitely BUYING this album. I only bought one album last year, and that was Lupe. But i like what Nas is doin wit this album, and i will support.

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS NAS ONE OF THE ONLY MC'S I RESPECT CAUSE NAS RAPS BECAUSE HE LOVES IT, FUCK THE MONEY I MEAN HE MAKES ENOUGH TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE BUT HE NEVER SOLD HIS SOUL, HIS ALWAYS RAPPED ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED NOT WHAT WAS HOT OR WHAT CORP. AMERICA WANTED HE DID WHAT NAS WANTED FUCK THE MONEY REAL HIPHOP LOVE JAY TO BUT JAY IS CORP. KNOW HE LOST HIS SOUL LONG AGO BUT BUT NOT HIS SKILLS AND TO BE HONEST I FEEL LIKE THAT STARTING TO HAPPEN  YEAH YEAH GET MAD AT ME I STILL LIKE JAY BUT NAS IS THAT CRACK      

yo this song is an instant classic

everybody should listen

this is gonna change the game

I knew DJ Toomp did this track... I hope he got more dope producers on this album be'cuz that's jus wut this nigga has been lackin' 4 a minute... I hope this album iz dope.... Meanin' way better than his last couple...!  This wuz cool...! Lyrics are alwayz on point...  Bout time he came on down South & hooked up wit a real producer...!  

Track is on point. Everybody should feel this one

@hiphopcritic

The 98% you speak of can only give you the lifestyle they lived.  If they felt selling drugs was their only option then thats on them. Some don't have it like others and its more opportunities where you are than it is down here. Where we come from young black men are stereotyped as thieves and are always up to no good. In some people eyes we are seen as no good niggers. I didn't want to believe til I was called one to my face. Its a shame those guys had to sell drugs to get where they are but thats reality. Know their struggle before you speak on what they did. They made it out alive to speak on it cause thats a dangerous game to be in. Its not that they are proud they sold drugs, they happy they made it out to say I made it out of my situation.

this is aight but y he sound like that? the song got a powerful message but the thing thats sad is that this album probably aint gona sell like talkin about it. and thats the reason behind him takin the title off cuz he knew it wasnt gona appeal to alot of the people who go out and buy albums these days, WHITE AMERICA! i aint racists or nothin dont get me wrong but on som real shit most of the ppl who go out and buy albums these days r into that whole "snappin" and "dancin" shit that b on the radio all the and what NAS is talkin about on this album i dont think alot of those ppl r gona want to hear it!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SAD BUT TRU

Dis shit is hot I'm ready for his album to drop. Nas always brings those powerful messages, this reminds me of early Illmatic Nas. If his whole album is on this level it will undoubtly become a classic. Jay-Z and Nas KINGS OF HIP HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop playin!!!

Nas always brings something that different from the game. Where the game is at now, to put something like this is out is great! He doesn't care how much it sells! "You ask me if I'm tryin to kick knowledge na I'm tryin kick the shit ya need to learn tho! That Ether the shit to make your soul burn slo!

Wow!!!!!!!! This is best song I've heard from Nas in a minute.. How can you not say Nas is not one of the best if not the best. Dude is a monster and is talking about real shit!

We are the Slave and the Master. That's some deep shit!

Nas did it again y'all, he really touched all bases on this song, he went out hard!

man this the realest shit niggas don't even know the real history of us "niggers", we are the fuckin kings and descendants of greatness thats written in the bible, thats why they try so hard to bring us down because they(caucasian) know the truth, they are the hybrid race they're weaker than us, we the original people.

REAL ASS SONG.......I BUY NAS SHIT NOT THE BOOTLEG EITHER.

@ v4vendetta
How you gone use jay-z as an example for living up to the things nas talks about in this song when that nigga jay-z is an illuminati/freemason puppet. that dude sold his soul a long time ago to these white devils he is the white mans pawn, do yall nigga even really know the truth about the rockerfellers the family who jay-z named his company after, do your research on the rockefellers they are about 20% responsible for the destruction of us Afrkans as a whole, every thing from fuckin aids to war to genocide,etc., they carry the satanic bloodline, man yall niggas is ignorant and CLUELESS.

I am touched by this one. This is the essence of the art, something similar to an audio book. One cannot dance to it, just learn from it. If you are struggling, think about what u can be, and if you blessed with it, why don’t help a brother out instead of being a cheap as nigger. You know who this if for.

Oh, and Illseed, you got skills. (slave and the master) ya feel me

See this is what you call a person with a brain dude I cosign all the way. Because if we don't speak on any issue that prohibits us we will be in chains forever. A word can't hurt us its the person behind the word that can do harm.

I could be wrong, but the sample sound like it came from "Roots"

the beats kool bu im not a big fan of this lazy flow... liked it better when he had some more hunger, n it showed when he spit on tha mic

Shit goes harder then a monster truck,even though you dumbfucks call the beat monotone,it was slowed down for your stupid ears to hear the truth,Nas always was/is on point,and as far as I'm concerned for me the word Nigga always meant : Now I Got Great Attitude!

I am loving the song...I just hope everyone that is listening to this record actually listens to what he is saying and tries to educate each other and those who are non-black about the the seriousness of this word and it does not mean "ignorant person"...ya dig

not much i can say bout this one...

WOW...This shit is hot...this is the truth...we are the slave and the master...Willie Lynch...think about it....history don't acknowledge us...

Actually thats how his voice sounded back in the day...at least I think so...

Aight, this shit is fire. Being white, I have to say I feel the song. Using the "N word" as the tittle means very little in truth. Honestly if anyone lets the word offend them, then they give the word power, and then the person power. Its a word. period. What does it mean? Only what you make it mean. It was created by people and it can be interpeted by the people, in the way the people want. Racism is only a cop out, the only reason someone hates is because they have been wronged or are jealous. Usually its the latter. Hip-Hop ain't dead as long is Nas is spittin.

NAS is the muthafucking best. Who can spit that shit and still keep his swag. NAS that's who. Most of you dumb niggaz going to say this song weak but who cares. If ya'll can't catch up fuck em. Get your bum ass up and read a book or something. Who the fuck gets this deep on record. NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STEP YOUR LIFE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boss up I feel you on that statement. But the game done changed so much. It's so watered down that this gem ain't hardly gonna get noticed.

@DA BOI SLICE

Oh I hear you southern haters hatin...lol! If you dont like this song you need to kill yo self! The substance, knowlegde, lyrics, beat, and flow is on point on this one haters oh I forgot if its not club music you dont like it fuckin club groupies! lol.. Not only is NAS educating you slow hatin ass people he is takin what you southern flashy ass rappers rap about( drugs, cars, rims...etc) and throwin that shit right back in your face...you slaves! lol Thats all you can rap about is material things..wow how smart! If thats all you can rap about is material things then mentally you r a slave!

Nas album will be the most talked about album of the year not Lil Wayne's sorry! First of all major labels dont want to promote it becasue of the name and I think he is still going to call it Nigger! This is a brilliant move on his part because as long as the album is talked about, produced, and hit the stores it will sell because of all the people who is hatin on him for naming a album Nigger! Watch how the other races will react to this album especially if he is spittin knowledge about the word on most of his songs on the album! To be honest if knowledge is power so of you southern people who hate on good music have no power!

Finally, Im from the South all day everyday but this is 100% pure crack not none of that shit you buy from a nigga on the corner Im talkin about that pureist shit you can only get from a non american!!!!!!!!

bringing it back to life...

My Nig... What up My Nig!!
