in my oppinion nasir has too many valuable songs to just by this greatest hits compilation consisting of 14 tracks. you gotta cop all the cds in there entirety to get the full effect.

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

MISS INCREDIBLE — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:51:32 GMT

Yes i have the entire Nas catalog on CD... but in my itunes there are only a few of his albums that are complete... no need for me to get this greatest hists but its good to see our hip hop heavy weights with MORE than enough genius material to hold down a greatest hits addition... with Nas its like he can be like a Nina Simone or a Beatles or an "Old Blue Eyes" in the way that he will be able to produce MANY greatest hits volumes... he just has THAT much good shit to select from...

Nas i hope you never quit and never get stale...

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

HoodProphet — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:54:50 GMT

They def should have put ether on there.

Imma have to make up my own Nas greatest hits. He let them play the politics with selecting his joints for this.

Def Jam Execs: Aye Nas, dont put ether on the compilation. We dont want to remind the fans of that old beef with you and Jay. You know Jay might not be able to take that all over again. You said he had dicksucking lips. Jay still talks about that to this day.

Nas: One

It's just missing too many songs. Do like the first two said buy all his albums. Oh yeah ODB named his CD Nigga Please so why is there such a big contraversey over Nas' title he's pretty much the second one to do it.

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

Streetweyez Sayles — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:24:53 GMT

I have every NAS CD except that Nastradamus joint. I really thought he went away from his style on that CD. I bought the greatest hits CD just because it was from NAS and he will always be one of the best emcees alive or dead.

You mean this aint a double album umm like niggas said gotta make your own greatest hits for Nas he got too much in his catalog. He def one of the greatest to ever grab the mike though he had more than a few missteps here and there he's always able to collect himself a go in even better

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

anomali_ygb — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 15:01:38 GMT

i'm still shocked to see chris webber produced that joint, it's one of my favorite songs from Nas in a while and i didn't know webber had the talent. i like it so much because i never heard Nas tell the whole story like that about himself

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

HiddenTreasure — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 15:05:00 GMT

Nas a legend, I will cop that like all the other cds!

hey any one from the d.c. area, passing through the area I heard some island music that I was really vibing with, you guys style of music is that flavor, I think the station was 89.3, someone inform me where I can get a mix of island music, I love that genre of music....

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

D. Blaque — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 15:14:56 GMT

fuck a 14 cut greatest hits album, I've got every Nas track known to public existence except The General pt. 1. Nas is the greatest of all time because he gave Jay a resounding L on his record. Jay wouldn't have that title if he didn't claim it first. I still rocks w/ Jay but he aint fuckin with Nas

Squareone1 — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:00:09 GMT

Yeah there is too much shit for nas for one fucking commercial Greatest Hits album, and plus none of the Firm shit is on there I bet (haven't seen the tracklisting) and probably none of the shit he did on AZ's album is on there, guess those weren't hits eh? Either way, not picking this up, not bootlegging it, not anything. I have all his albums so this was a rather waste of time and effort to force this shit out on us.

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

@hoodpussy fuck u also nas always has suck and how am I dick riding I don't like jay-z either but he did son ur boy nas fuck outta here these niggaz don't do shit for my hood or put no money in my pockets u act like he's ur man or something fuck all these wack rappers.

"hoodpussy"

lol, good one. I really laughed when I read that.

Now I think about it, you right jay sonned Nas.

But full galaxy, im having a hard time remebering the track that Jay had in the battle that was actually better than ether.

Which track was it again that won the battle for Jay?

-Hoodpussy lol

my bad man u didn't deserve that I take that back.

I'm about promoting unity man much respect to your opinion. These are both good guys but all I want is for these guys to step up and help move black and brown people into the right direction. This is what they want us against each other and I don't want to be apart of the problem but apart of the solution. I was man enough to say so I will be man enough to aplogize.

MISS INCREDIBLE — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:01:40 GMT

Its always funny to me when people compare Takeover to Ether... i know they were the two songs representing the "beef" at the time but... keep this in mind... if youse remember correctly Takeover was performed at summer Jam and he was mostly going at Prodigy/Mobb Deep he didnt even mention Nas except that last little line... then Nas comes back with what that one freestyle type song THEN Jay released that Takeover version on the Blueprint with that Verse about Nas... only that small portion of the song was about Nas... the entire song Ether was about Hova/The Roc... and Takeover wasnt nearly as hard as the song on Blueprint 2, "BluePrint 2" as far as Jay going at Nas... no need to even count Super Ugly it was funny but not really a song just a lil freestyle reply Jay made in less than 24 hours to the broadcast of Ether(something like that summer jam reply Nas made that majortiy of people tend to forget about)... true Ether had a Stronger Impact and we will prolly forever say someone got "Ethered" but we will also forever take quotes from Takeover cause there were so many... But to me the song Blueprint 2 had way more punch to it than Takeover... only thing thats crazy is Jay seemed like he caught major FEEL-INGS on the song Blueprint 2 cause he came hard on that one... just as Nas did on Ether...

Can't y'all, see that he's fake, the rap version of TD jakes
Prophesizing on your CDs and tapes
Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith?

And I'm sorry Miss Rosie Perez
I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is
But you can't give cred to anything dude says
Same dude to give you ice and you owe him some head
(Shortyyyy!) It's time to wake up the dead
You sound a little naive in them articles that I read

They call me this misogynist, but they don't call me the dude
To take his dollars to give gifts at the projects
These dudes is all politics, depositing checks
they put in they pocket, all you get in return is a lot of lip
And y'all buy the shit, caught up in the hype
Cause the nigga wear a coofie, it don't mean that he bright
Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice
It just means you don't understand all the bullshit that he write
Is it "Oochie Wally Wally" or is it "One Mic"?
Is it "Black Girl Lost" or shorty owe you for ice?
I've been real all my life, they confuse it with conceit
Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens it up for me...

Anyway Back to Nas' hits... He has so many glad i have them all already... Cant wait for some new material from him

I was in Best Buy the other day coppin the Jay's new joint. Then i decide to cop Nas greatest hits until I read the track list. Every song on there i got so there was no need for me to cop it. (Sorry Nas) But i will definitley cop his new joint tho.

re: Nas: Greatest Hits

Darnell004 — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:13:13 GMT

Like everyone else, I have all his joints except for Nastrudamus, no need to cop the album.

Mohamed — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:19:17 GMT

nas is in my top 5 great rappers
but hes slightly overrated
almost if people say hes better than jay cause he positive
i mean i kno u a fan but be 100 with ya self
thats what i hate about nas fans
though he has great makin words rhymes skill he just not clever enough to me
sorry but he just not pound for pound better than jay-z
ie if they was to battle it wud sadly show jay has more talent all around
its sad but its the truth and alot of nas fans cant see that

i agree with someone who stated that Nas has more then just 14 tracks....it should have been a box set release....thats what they are going to have to do with artists that are at the top of the world these days....50 cent, nas, jay z, and whoever else is actually god in the music industry...

I'm glad yal squashed that shit...that's some grown man shit right there. Music ain't supposed to divide us, it supposed to unite us. That's what makes the whole Jay-Z/Nas thing so important in the rap game (regardless if you like either of them or not).

@MISS INCREDIBLE
I'm feeling what you said about the takeover/either battle...nice imput.

As far as the greatest hits cd...I don't think there have been too many accurate greatest hits cd's to EVER come out in the hip hop game...so I'm not gonna get this one either. I have all his cd's, including Nastradoomous, Carry the Cross 1 & 2, The Death of Escobar, and all his other shit...so I don't need it. I'mma just wait for the new album.

@ miss incredible

It's funny you brought up 'Blueprint 2' b/c, while it has a great diss to it, it seems that the lines...

"Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens it up for me... "

...are exactly what cost him his win.
It's all good though, I just saw the 'Roc Boys' video and it does put a smile on my face to see the two champs together.
