Old as hell, but he killed this beat twice!! This track and Hardest Thing to Do is Stay Alive. This is from the I AM era. This could be a throwback Thursday joint. Classic unreleased gem.
I love when people try to correct others when THEY’RE the ones that don’t have their facts straight.
Trust me fam… I’ve heard every single Nas song that has ever been put out in any way, shape or form. This is DUMB old. Nas has always had a habit if recording alternate verses and songs over the same beat. He did this and Hardest Thing around the same time.
I agree…i mean, i used to be from queens, but been runnin’ ever since tip slapped the fuck outta me like a lil BITCH. but fuck rap, i’m going for my degree in religious studies at uc-irvine in the fall. fuck.
I’m 17 years old, up until I was about 13, Lil Wayne was my favorite rapper, Then I discovered 2pac, BIG, Wu-Tang, NWA, and my new favorite rapper, NAS! Nas is going on 40 and would still tear Wayne apart, and if you look at both in their prime, yes Wayne is past his, Nas would hit him alive! keep it comin Nas, “Half man half amazin!”
Jason Fuck You… Lil Wayne Over Nas???? Don’t Tell Me You Call Birdman Daddy To??… I Can Tell You Kiss Other Men By Reading Your Comments…. Faggot Get Your Mind Straight
I hate to admit it and cats need to come to the realization that Nas as we knew him is gone for good. He was so Nice back in the day everyone is hoping he can reclaim his glory of the Illmatic era and we continue to buy albums hoping for flashes of brilliance he once displayed everyones blames beat selection etc just like Rakim the fact of the matter dude is finished he’s no longer major label material I can name ten rappers who would torch present nas right now 1# Joell Ortiz #2 Elzhi #3 Jay Electronica #4 sean Price #5 joe Budden #6 Jadakiss #7Uncle Murda #8 Eminem #9 andre3000 10# phonte
Everyone you named has one thing in common the are wack as fuck just like nas.
You must be one of those corny gay underground people who worship anyone who just says alot of words that mean nothing
What Nas have you been listening to lately? I agree that this isnt his best work, but Distant Relatives was hot, and N.I.**E.R. was a hot album too, Nas still has it, there will never be another Illmatic, but he’s still gonna bring it, and at the very least, he is a breath of fresh air from all the Soulja Boys and Gucci Manes out there
Get the hell out of here with bullshit ass list Nas ain’t never fell off. Nas would mark all them niggaz on that list. Joe Budden really? that’s funny. Jay Electronica…even funnier. Sean Price…who the hell is that guy? Jadakiss…okay he’ll give him a run for his money….Eminem…Bullshit em is whack now don’t even belong in the category that is nas. andre 3000….yeah he’ll give him a run. Phonte…sure he can too.
1# The Joell Ortiz hype has already died down. #2 Elzhi is just a shadow that continues to go unheard. #3 Jay Electronica is a snail that always loses the race because he fails to stay relevant. #4 Sean Price will stay an underground alumni for life. #5 Joe Budden is a has been who will continue to feel like he belongs but is finished major label wise. #6 Jadakiss is already becoming old news and washed up. #7Uncle Murda is in the wrong time frame because that gangsta-ish been died a few years ago once 50 Cent went 8 times Platinum with it and no one else that was gangsta could follow behind him in achieving record sales. #8 Eminem is still making history. #9 andre3000 will stay in the land of the lost and will pop up when he wants to just to show you he’s still got it. and 10# Phonte is just an underground monarch that will never reach the ultimate credit he feels he deserves.
Same nas.flow is all over the place and talks about bitches,smokin,killin.this dude been a fraud for the longest.Then when he signed his life away to jayz’def jam,i knew he was a sucka.Pac was right, he is a punk.
NAS a punk? Lmao!!! If anyone is a punk it’s that Tupac Shakur guy. I mean you’re talking about a guy who wanted to die because he blabbed so damn much about it and then he set his own self up to be killed by having Suge put that idiot in a situation he had no business being in and then you had a bunch of dumb founded-stupid-idiot fans that were saying it was the government who killed him or Suge Knight. LMAO!!! Just plain stupid and it’s sad that you called this Tupac guy smart. If he was smart he would’ve still been alive and not have died for a dumb simple reason he could have easily avoided.
Lie and say tupac aint in your cd collection.Nas lied and said tupac and him were cool but in fact pac said nas was scared shitless when he ran into him at club 662.Hes a punk.Tupac also said he didnt want to be here anymore,so why not go whoop on a niggas ass,and die in a blaze if thats the way you want to leave. Suge was hit with a piece of glass,not grazed as he told everyone.If Tupac wouldnt have been killed,the elite would have Suge killed for not doing their dirty work.Either way he was going to be killed because he was against white america and the new world order.So are you calling Malcolm X stupid?What about Dr.King?People who change the world or who go against white america all die in violence.And he was the future of black america.Nas is one of their puppets,so dont follow the phonies,do the research.Start over.
Do us a favor and quit while you’re behind:You just made yourself look very unintelligent with that nonsense post:New world order?White America?You black activist type always got some silly ol’ conspiracy theories to expose:SHUT THE HELL UP:
2pac died because he stomped out a notorious gangster just a few moments before his shooting:The gangster knew 2pac was deep so why would he come by himself?He didn’t:He had his Crips stationed outside in position to kill 2pac:SIMPLE AS THAT:
How is T.I. not on the list?He beats out Scarface and Andre3000 as the greatest Southern rapper of all time:He has 2 classic HipHop albums [Paper Trail & K.I.N.G] and 2 Southern classic albums [Urban Legend & Trap Muzik]:Respect T.I.’s work:He’s been one of the top 5 since 2004:
He, Jay-Z, and Nas are the only rappers who had big success in the early 2000s as solo artist who are STILL hot and relevant today:That’s a pretty impressive list:
T.I. is nice but better than Three Stacks? nah son. You hurt your head or something? Shoots, if it wasn’t for Beenie man, you yourself wouldn’t know who T.I. is.
This list became invalid when I saw no Eminem on it. How the fuck is Eminem not in the top 10? You mean to tell me all of these guys are better than Eminem? Fuck outta here.
First off, BDK is way too high. Kane is a legend but never top 5. I can live with the top 4 but at 5, thats when you start to get ridiculous. KRSOne is not top 10 Jimmy. Top 5 lyricist but not top 10 rapper. T.I. is cool but definitely not top 10. Replace him with Scareface.
by you putting t.i. on your list i can tell you dont know quality music.also by putting big l 10th on your list,can tell you’re from new york or that area.t.i. aint got shit on bun b,andre 3000,scarface,mjg or eight ball,trick daddy,lil keke,or wayne.Are you basing the list off of sales or subject matter?Start over.
Why does everyone discredit Big Boi? Anyone who could hold their own weight against 3 Stacks deserves more credit then given. My south list. Biased opinions here.
1. Andre
2. Scarface
3. Big Boi
4. Bun B
5. Cee-Lo
Plus ATLiens, Aquemini & Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik harder than anything T.I. put out.
Lmao:Funniest list of all time:Eminem 2nd?That has to be some type of typo:Eminem is no where near the top 5:Redman?HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH:You kids go too far with the comedy these days:
Pun ahead of Facemob?Never:
Nas falls all the way to 6th?
Nas kills Jay-Z and Jay-Z is 3 spots ahead of him?
Are you kidding?Everything about this list is blasphemy:
@PRINCEJIMMY11
So since he’s list isn’t like you’re list you call it blasphemy & dismiss it. GTFOH with all that ‘my opinion is holy & only matters bullshit.’ You got to grow up & realize everyone has a different opinions & their’s is just as important as yours. Who’s the little kid now huh? You.
Man what is this shit? This shit wack! I mean who be bumpin this shit in the club? Yall never gon get a bitch to twerk to this lame shit. Fuck outta here with this overhype shit And listen to drake n weezy “She Will” now that’s some sweet soundin shit
Top what ever lists are dumb and are subjective to the listeners taste. Just enjoy the music. Dont feel a need to rate A rapper versus B rapper. Every rapper is hot then not at some point.
You can tell youre from new york.all yall niggas stick together as far as who the best.Prodigy is wack and a snitch,raekwon is washed up,and methodman aint made a hit album since 2000.Start over
I can’t believe you bitch ass niggas not properly reviewing this classic, and it’s unreleased, most of his unreleased shit is better than whats on his albums, the concept is simple: if you think you’re well informed about what I’m doing you’re mistaken…
You all list is whack!!! some of you got it close but not right. Here is the most accurate:
1.Tupac
2.Biggie
3.Nas
4.Big Pun
5.Big L
6.Jada
7.Eminem
8,9,10. Who cares????
This shit is wack. I don’t know what to think of Nas. He came in nice with that Ghetto Dreams track with Common, now he’s back with weak production, and a weak hook. Sure he’s talking sense, and it’s all good. But man he’s fucking boring to listen to.
i don’t care what people think is MY top 5 all time best rappers.
Nas
Styles P
Ghostface
Kool G Rap
P (of mobb deep)
Then……
B.I.G
Big L
Big Pun
Jay-Z
Eminem
This is based on pure lyrics and hots beats. You can hate on my order but not the people on there. If anybody says these people are whack then they need to take listen to their tracks.
ODB
you’re from new york right?all yall niggas….listen man,styles is a beast on some tracks,prodigy is wack,kool g rap is decent now but he was a problem when he came out,and i dont know why you put ghost on there.after supreme clientele it was over.start over
Right now, the best rapper is Nas. Not Jay. Not Em. Not Kanye. Em has the sales and videos, Jay still has the flows, and Ye has made some of the best albums ever. But as far as true MCing goes, Nas is the best. The only thing holding him back… a lack of amazing beats.
straight up kanye is my favorite rapper/artist ever. i wouldnt even put him in my top ten mc’s based on pure hip/hop criticism/evaluation, but he is without a doubt ma fav. its so nice to see people throwing his name around on lists. the man might have the best first 3 albums to ever drop. and the production is on another level. yeezy love #dickrideallday
he used the beat from “the hardest thing to do is stay alive” which was suppose to be on the original “i am”(aka i am…nastradamous. it was a biography) the verses are different and he put a lady to sing a different hook instead of singing it himself. nas is the only cat i know who can bite his own beat and flip it around and still make it hot. that’s nas for ya
you couldn’t just say the last sentence? were you asked about the history of the track? did you think anyone cared? don’t you think every Nas fan would know that already? too much time on your hands son…
yeah …thats some nas nerd shit…and most fans didnt know the history of the beat…Anonymous Probably likes men. not that any things wrong with that..but hes tryin to suppress it and its comin out on Dx. ha
Yall people act as if this song was written by nas yesterday.. this song is pretty old actually.. this is the REMASTERED version of the original which came out in 2001. Didnt mean to bust yall Nas NOOBs bubble.
a notorious gangsta?nobody knew this nigga til he got into it with pac!and aint no black activist got shit to do with my statements.Read the book our black america and holla at me simple minded youth.like I said nas WAS a problem when he came out and up until he signed to def jam.after that he made paperweights.Hes a “every now and then nigga”.pac’s music is timeless.start over
you must have kissed nas in the mouth or on the ass or something.all your comments revolve around how great he is.he can rap,he had a couple good albums,but after jay got him on def jam,he became average.name a GOOD album he made since signing to def jam.
why u hatin cause he likes NAS hop off his nuts maybe he really likes his music the fuck do people feel like they gotta comment on other peoples opinions because they disagree…go hang yourself
Im listening to nas now guy,i mean gay.i know good music and this aint good or average.Youre the one defending nas on everyones commentswhos really gay?Pac’s better than nas,jay ‘s better than nas,big’s better than nas.hang it up.start over
I some intelligent ppl here making some intelligent comments….but for the most part
asee alot of DUMB comments. Looks like DX’s dan base is becoming younger and younger, which obviously is a daamn shame.
First off who caress if this track is OLD, still timeless still rap, and daaamn sure still HipHop, and you wanna know why? ONe word = Nas!
Yáll some young fishes to think Nas AINT in that top 5. I saw some lil nigga down there saying top 5: Soulja Boy, Gucci Mayne…etc etc whichever other clowns. I KNOW that person just fucking around and ppl to get mad….but that’s the problem. If your gonna comment on this site, let alone this page, put some constructive shit in! Otherwise move tha fuck out! You clicked on the damn link, and the link is NAS’s face, which means you would have only clicked on it, had you been interested, which means deep down inside, YOU LOVE NAS. YOU CANT HELP LOVING NAS. AND IF YOU DONT LOVE HIM, chances are, YOU RESPECT HIM. Shiiit half you niggas would kiss Nas’s feet IF he knocked on your stankin ass door. (btw this for the ppl who come from that time of actually growing up with Nas,who should know what he about – i aint even addressing you dicks who still let your moma wash your clothes.
OOh and too “Sean”, some dumbass muthafucka making the comments….your the type who comes on sites like DX, coz you have no belonging. You probably try to be into HipHop, you probably try to read up on shit and pretend to have a meaning, maybe your a social outcast who knows – one thing is for sure is that you know NOTHING about HipHop. Nas wouldnt need to make another record again in his life and he’ll still be in the TOP 5!!You know why alot of ppl are saying he GOOD??? Coz nigga is BETTER THAN GOOD!!! Illmatic? Nastrodamus?….oooh and you dumbFUCk…you want some albums after Jay came to Def Jam and basically pissed his 4 years there? how about Untitled? How about Distant Relatives with Damian Marley??? The fact that you have the audacity to come on this site, CLICK ON NAS”S FACE, and then diss somebody coz he speaking NOT just truth, but History (YES history, Nas is SOLIDIFIED in HipHop History!!!), it says enough about what you listen to….you probably got Flo Ridah posters or some ugly muthfucka like plies on your wall like some lil teen girl…..
NOBODY can Ever say anything about Nas…I can’t believe DX is even allowing these fools on here talking that shit. YO DX put some quality control on your site, so these retards cant ruin it for ppl who really understand Rap music and have some insightful shit to say!
untitled???that shit sucked worst than you on a friday night after you left a gay strip club.unlike you not only do i know hip hop,but i also know good music.in order for you music to be title a classic or timeless,it must reflect the life you live now.nas is way past the years of him fuckin bitches,yet he was still married when untitled was released.I never said he doesnt have flow or had flow,but stick to making music that touches peoples consciousness.He went mainstream and made hero?what a joke.nas is a great rapper,but he needs great production like the guys who helped him make classic music again(premier,pete rock,large professor).Stop trying to fit in with new producers(polow da don)and all that other bullshit and get back to that real street shit.start over
Anyways…Untitled was a good album. Sure hero was commercial, but it made the charts, and it was viable, and it was still NAS. You say you know something about music and HipHop, name one rapper that brings out an album that doesn’t have commercially viable records on it, not coz they don’t have any other substance, but coz they HAVE to. Do you remember Nas standing outside of Fox building? They wasn’t even gonna let nigga release his album coz he gave it a name that he felt suited what he wanted to do. Not only that….plesae do your research homie, Nas had to shuffle that entire album around coz DefJam wouldn’t release it with the material that was on it, THEY were the ones who told him, you gotta put this out…take this off, put this on! Don’t you remember?? And what about Lost TApes? Nigga you read that letter???If You “KNOW” so much bout HipHOP, just bow down man and admit it! Ain’t nothing wrong admitting you agree with somebody else’s opinion other than your own! It actualy shows your humbleness…so don’t fret..Nas has been getting it from DefJam ever since L.A came to town. And you talking about he needs great production?DUUUH wat rapper doesnt!! shiiit even producers are getting paid more nowadays that rappers are…but Nas has done pretty alright on his own…and Don’t forget “Sean” – even IF thats yo real name, Rappers get a certain budget for an album….and when you get shitty budgets you get lower class producers. Plus nigga was up to his neck in alimony and shit that he wasn’t really gonna dig into his own pockets for something HE knows DefJAm wasnt supporting him on! Nas would LOVE to do that street shit…the problem is…he REALLY brings SO MUCH of that street shit when he is on it, that the labels dont want that shit…i.e the rift with DefJam. They get frightend of that shit!
And on classics…tell me 1 rapper tht has brought out – consistently – a classic (Pac & Big don’t count)….start over nigga!
Again…if you read my comments I stated that nas is a great rapper.and I remember him shuffling the untitled album. I also agree that the lost tapes is a classic.i never discredited nas,all I said was hes not gonna be who he used to be.another thing,if this guy such a great talent,which he is,why cant he take his time,get DECENT producers within the budget of the album, a create something epic?while everyone is coming at me like I hate nas,i dont.i have illmatic,i am, nastradamus,gods son,and lost tapes.you and your internet buddies on this site should send letters to def jam to motivate them to push him to make the music you and I know he can make. I never said “niggas make classics every album”,i said yall niggas make this nigga nas like whatever he makes is cold when its not like that.i respect a mans opinion,but respect mine too. also why cant we say pac & big?didnt they rap? ok ill say lupe fiasco,jayz, scarface,ice cube,young jeezy,and NAS.
Pac n Big Don’t count coz they are on some NEXT higher level than any rapper alive….Nobody will be able to take their momentum and match it…R.I.P
But I will give it to you you – Lupe Is Dope, Scarface – LEGEND, I saw ICE CUBE about a month ago in London O2 with naughty by nature…LEGEND….Jay…ofcourse LEGEND…Young Jeezy…hmmm AIGHT – By the Looks of It, you got Beef elsewhere nigga…HAHAHAHA. PEACE
I never was on nas nuts my man.name calling on line…kinda childish .these are just my opinions.relax,smoke a square,drink a drink,and lets continue this rebuttal a diffent way without the disrespect.hol’up
first off,you wouldnt know if I was on this site if you werent on here.stay in the A.second,i didnt start the gay comments.everyone else did.all im doing is givin my opinion on the nas record.everyones so defensive like you cant talk about nas or you a bitch ass ni99a,gay or whateva.either make a relevant reply or watch tv somewhere.ESISMOTTOB
Nobody past present or future my son
Another track slayed by emcee # one
Since 94 when illmatic first dropped
The nigga they call nasty has been climbin to the top
Y’all should know better, i shouldn’t have to say the name
None of these clowns have any business in this rap game
After all these years hip hop ain’t dead
Spittin flames and razor blades, still a long road ahead
Damn, maybe I’m better? Maybe not. Nasty Nas = GOAT
I WISH IT WAS 97′ 98′ again, I want him and 50 on song together again, and him runnin with Trackmasters, maaaaan those were the days, few know them two QB boys ran together my two favorite rappers. NAS THE KING and 50 THE RULER….miss the boom bap but this shit bring it back, NASIR FOR LIFE REAL HIP HOP!
^to the dumbfuck anonymous above me nas actually destroyed and wrecked eminem on the topless track produced by dre i thnik you should go listnin to that , and nas is on a whole other lyrical level eminem is way too fucking overated
Yeah that track eminem did get destroyed but wasn’t it written for dr dre or something? Nas wouldn’t do anything like that with nobody though unless there were a 90’s rapper and still had the same style. Eminem would get completely destroyed though.
LOL, you braindead dumb fuck, Em has written that verse for Dre. Nas destroying Eminem are you serious? Eminem and Nas are two COMPLETELY different rappers, Eminem is highly technical and uses multi-syllabic rhymes over multisyllabic rhymes while dropping complex wordplay and metaphors with countless flow variations, Eminem made his way to the top by battling rappers, have you heard his freestyles? That’s something Nas could never do, Eminem has more rhymes on one track than Nas on a whole album, did you forget Hell: The Sequel? Nas rapping like Em on Fast Lane or Welcome 2 Hell? Get the FUCK outta here, Nas would never jump on the same track as a hungry Royce. LMAO. He was scared to give Eminem a part on The Cross, kicked out Cormega, because he outshined him and didn’t appear on the released Firm track with Canibus. Eminem
can hold down his own with EVERY rapper, Nas can’t do this, his flow is waaaay too one dimensional. Lose Yourself >>> Illmatic.
Yeah, Em’s would be, you don’t know a single fucking thing about Hip Hop, if you call Nas a technical rapper or a spitter. Eminem would rip this dumb dropout to shreds before he could even respond. Eminem is another universe when it comes to straight rapping ability, Nas sucks at straight rapping, I would LOVE a freestyle video of him, to hear him getting EMBERASSED, Nas holding his own on a track with a motivated Royce?! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, you would forget his voice forever, if he’d appear on such a track, but thankfully, he’s too scared to do shit with Eminem. His mic presence is one of the weakest ever, while Eminem and Royce ripped the mic for an hour with their lyrical firestorms and ever changing, highly technical flows. Nas’ nursery rhyming is down there with Gucci’s, his freestyles would be even worse. The analogies he did on that Wayne track were HORRIBLE AS FUCK, GET THIS NON-SKILLED, TREND FOLLOWING SUCKER FOR LOVE OUT OF THE RAP GAME!!!
Going through Changes was aight. Recovery wasnt even that good. Same with Hell: The Sequel. You dumbass, how the fuck is Lose Yourself better than Illmatic. Nas and Em have way different flows. Eminem is on those Fast Lane type flows and Nas is NY State of Mind. Both have great flows but Fast Lane isnt Nas. Nas is in the fucking top 5 rappers in history. Eminem isnt even in the top 10. Stop boosting you Eminem groupie.
I hate Eminem’s music personally, because I can’t get over his annyoing voice, but skills is skills and are undeniable. No, Eminem has way more different flows and is able to adapt to every beat and change it one song, while staying on beat, that’s something Royce explained around the time Success Is Certain came out on MTV, that’s something Nas could never do, just out of this world rapping abilities, where you could tell shit and it would still sound awesome. Nas never was a flower, don’t make him out to be one. Eminem is, from a rapping standpoint, the greatest ever. Point blank, period. Nobody touches him all around, he’s has the skills of the GOATS in there respective department everywhere, he can fuck with the best in every discipline. Nas rapping with some of these crazy underground rappers? GTFOH, be true, NEVER. There is NO rapper who’s more technically gifted than Eminem. If he’s serious and motivated, NO ONE can fuck with him, rappers are SCARED of him, check what Scarface had to say, he didn’t want to get ”renegaded”, said Eminem is a monster and he respects Jay for letting him have a verse. From pure rhyming skills no one comes even close to him, freestyling and battling, nobody. He has the technical skill of underground rappers and the the topics of someone like Nas. He’s the most well rounded rapper ever, he would give EVERYONE from Pharaoahe Monch to G. Rap to Black Thought a run for their money. Jay outshined Nas everytime and Eminem outshined Jay with ease, so what’s the talk about? Nas couldn’t outshine someone like Cormega or Game, they rivaled him and made his shit seem pointless, Em would’ve left these fools leagues behind him, especially Cormega, who’s way too standard for him, Nas and Cormega? They sound about even, off delivery, rhymes and lyrics, way more simplified than Em’s shit, imagine Eminem on a track with Cormega? LMAO. It would seem like Waka and Black Thought, Eminem is just way too talentend on every level.
all of you are crazy if you say Em destroys nas with one line, deadass your just dick riders both eminem and nas are insane lyricsists only thing differnet are the topics. I honestly think nas is more deeper and raps about real shit but Eminem is def top 5 best rapper of all time. You dumbass eminem dick riders don’t even know nas strongly inspired eminem to rap go listen to infinte he uses nas flow on alot of the tracks, eminem gives respect to nas in alot of songs theres is no reason to ever try to divide them there both 2 of the illest rappers the game has ever seen why would you hate on either one smh its just dick riders these days that listen to 1 artist and think theres no one better and everyone else is wack compared
Lose yourself better than Illmatic? Going through changes better than Nas career? U guys cant be serious. Nas is a lyrical beast. I dont know wtf ur listening to.
All of u anonymous bitchs up untill the last 1, YA’LL MUST STILL BE LISTEN 2 NURSERY RAPPERS. Nas is 10x better and more lyrical them Em is. Em is a punch line specialist. Don’t get me wrong, Em is sick but better then Nas?????? Did ur mother ass fuck u wit Ems dick when u was lil? Dick suckin fruit cake ass n***as.
look at these hoes on this site suckin and garggling eminems nuts again. stop it. em is nice but u fags rate everything he puts out as a 5. rate music according to the quality of music, not based on which rapper makes u bitch niggas pussy tingle. homos. that being said eminem is no where close to Nas.

eminem is dope and nad is even better!! EVEN MTV THAT DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT RAP PUT NAD OVER EMINEM IN THE TOP10 ALL-TIME MCS LIST!!
but those shit are pointless, why dont u regognize both of them are great and enjoy their music!!
Such a pointless immature debate when it’s pretty much an agreed on fact by non hating hip hop heads that nas & em @ their best are BOTH 2 of the ILLEST super dope emcees of all time
Dope intro lyric…although, he biting. He oulined Supa Luva/Cassanova dem “funky dope manuva/james brown” joint from back in the 80’s. Cool track all the same.
Distant relatives(which is a great album), now this? My thing is 1 minute Nas is dropping knowledge about black people lovin each other and shiit, than he gets black ceaser talkin about killin blacks and fuckin hoes!
Why would this song make the album? This shit leaked onto YouTube like almost 5 years ago.. not only that but Kelis is singing the hook.. aint no way in hell Nas is puttin this on his album

This is an oldie but goodie… ” stay out my path homie, you fkin w/a true g!”
Old as hell, but he killed this beat twice!! This track and Hardest Thing to Do is Stay Alive. This is from the I AM era. This could be a throwback Thursday joint. Classic unreleased gem.
YAWN … THIS SHIT IS BORING, THE 90’S CALLED THEY WANT THEIR HOOK BACK. BITCHES AINT TWERKIN TO THIS. NO NEED TO REMASTER AN OLD SONG.
BETTER OFF DROPPING ANOTHER SHOOKED ONES TYPE OF TRACK. ALSO WTF HAPPENED TO BRAVEHEARTS ? THAT SHIT DIDN’T POP OFF ??? LAME, HOV WON.
1 STAR.
What are you even talking about.
did you actually say “bitches aint twerking to this”? son, just leave, get outta here. you obviously don’t belong here
“I drink her blood like i’m dracula mack in a 6 coupe”
this shit gotta be 15-17 years old at least … if not then we have a problem.
A while back? This song it like 10 years old!
Fire Nas is back!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys need to get your information correct. This is an old Nas beat (Hardest Thing To Do Is Stay Alive) yes. But these lyrics aren’t old.
I love when people try to correct others when THEY’RE the ones that don’t have their facts straight.
Trust me fam… I’ve heard every single Nas song that has ever been put out in any way, shape or form. This is DUMB old. Nas has always had a habit if recording alternate verses and songs over the same beat. He did this and Hardest Thing around the same time.
wow
Yeah it is old but still fire though
Nas is bringing it back
Nas the Truth!!
Look at this washed up faggot. Nas stans are the biggest faggots hip-hop has ever seen. THIS DUDE IS WHACK!!
Weezy>>>>>Nas.
FAGGOT
you’re credibilty means nothing anymore. So when you state opinion is not to be taken seriously.
you need to get hit by a car…nas would eat lil wayne alive and anyone with common sense knows it
I agree…i mean, i used to be from queens, but been runnin’ ever since tip slapped the fuck outta me like a lil BITCH. but fuck rap, i’m going for my degree in religious studies at uc-irvine in the fall. fuck.
I’m 17 years old, up until I was about 13, Lil Wayne was my favorite rapper, Then I discovered 2pac, BIG, Wu-Tang, NWA, and my new favorite rapper, NAS! Nas is going on 40 and would still tear Wayne apart, and if you look at both in their prime, yes Wayne is past his, Nas would hit him alive! keep it comin Nas, “Half man half amazin!”
Jason Fuck You… Lil Wayne Over Nas???? Don’t Tell Me You Call Birdman Daddy To??… I Can Tell You Kiss Other Men By Reading Your Comments…. Faggot Get Your Mind Straight

You right nas and em are the two homosexual overrated dicksuckers.
None betta!
bitch ass nigga
There are a few hatin pussies who commented on this song. Point blank…. eat a diseased dick!! G.O.A.T.!
Man that mafucka j is stupid out his mind. Nas is easily top 3, if not best. Malik just needs to shut what they call they FUCK UP!!!
I hate to admit it and cats need to come to the realization that Nas as we knew him is gone for good. He was so Nice back in the day everyone is hoping he can reclaim his glory of the Illmatic era and we continue to buy albums hoping for flashes of brilliance he once displayed everyones blames beat selection etc just like Rakim the fact of the matter dude is finished he’s no longer major label material I can name ten rappers who would torch present nas right now 1# Joell Ortiz #2 Elzhi #3 Jay Electronica #4 sean Price #5 joe Budden #6 Jadakiss #7Uncle Murda #8 Eminem #9 andre3000 10# phonte
Everyone you named has one thing in common the are wack as fuck just like nas.
You must be one of those corny gay underground people who worship anyone who just says alot of words that mean nothing
What Nas have you been listening to lately? I agree that this isnt his best work, but Distant Relatives was hot, and N.I.**E.R. was a hot album too, Nas still has it, there will never be another Illmatic, but he’s still gonna bring it, and at the very least, he is a breath of fresh air from all the Soulja Boys and Gucci Manes out there
Get the hell out of here with bullshit ass list Nas ain’t never fell off. Nas would mark all them niggaz on that list. Joe Budden really? that’s funny. Jay Electronica…even funnier. Sean Price…who the hell is that guy? Jadakiss…okay he’ll give him a run for his money….Eminem…Bullshit em is whack now don’t even belong in the category that is nas. andre 3000….yeah he’ll give him a run. Phonte…sure he can too.
elzhi legit. the rest are wack. sean price and jada?? comon…
^You all sound like morons, arguing over a song that was left on the cutting room floor some 12-13 years ago. smh
1# The Joell Ortiz hype has already died down. #2 Elzhi is just a shadow that continues to go unheard. #3 Jay Electronica is a snail that always loses the race because he fails to stay relevant. #4 Sean Price will stay an underground alumni for life. #5 Joe Budden is a has been who will continue to feel like he belongs but is finished major label wise. #6 Jadakiss is already becoming old news and washed up. #7Uncle Murda is in the wrong time frame because that gangsta-ish been died a few years ago once 50 Cent went 8 times Platinum with it and no one else that was gangsta could follow behind him in achieving record sales. #8 Eminem is still making history. #9 andre3000 will stay in the land of the lost and will pop up when he wants to just to show you he’s still got it. and 10# Phonte is just an underground monarch that will never reach the ultimate credit he feels he deserves.
Same nas.flow is all over the place and talks about bitches,smokin,killin.this dude been a fraud for the longest.Then when he signed his life away to jayz’def jam,i knew he was a sucka.Pac was right, he is a punk.
“Pac was right” get over it
Get over what? Nas is done and you know im telling the truth.You must be his baby daddy.lol
NAS a punk? Lmao!!! If anyone is a punk it’s that Tupac Shakur guy. I mean you’re talking about a guy who wanted to die because he blabbed so damn much about it and then he set his own self up to be killed by having Suge put that idiot in a situation he had no business being in and then you had a bunch of dumb founded-stupid-idiot fans that were saying it was the government who killed him or Suge Knight. LMAO!!! Just plain stupid and it’s sad that you called this Tupac guy smart. If he was smart he would’ve still been alive and not have died for a dumb simple reason he could have easily avoided.
Head to Head, Nas would murder 2pac:
Lie and say tupac aint in your cd collection.Nas lied and said tupac and him were cool but in fact pac said nas was scared shitless when he ran into him at club 662.Hes a punk.Tupac also said he didnt want to be here anymore,so why not go whoop on a niggas ass,and die in a blaze if thats the way you want to leave. Suge was hit with a piece of glass,not grazed as he told everyone.If Tupac wouldnt have been killed,the elite would have Suge killed for not doing their dirty work.Either way he was going to be killed because he was against white america and the new world order.So are you calling Malcolm X stupid?What about Dr.King?People who change the world or who go against white america all die in violence.And he was the future of black america.Nas is one of their puppets,so dont follow the phonies,do the research.Start over.
@Sean
Do us a favor and quit while you’re behind:You just made yourself look very unintelligent with that nonsense post:New world order?White America?You black activist type always got some silly ol’ conspiracy theories to expose:SHUT THE HELL UP:
2pac died because he stomped out a notorious gangster just a few moments before his shooting:The gangster knew 2pac was deep so why would he come by himself?He didn’t:He had his Crips stationed outside in position to kill 2pac:SIMPLE AS THAT:
This song is from the “I AM..”
IT’S ALRIGHT 3 STARS
Real HipHop:Best song ever made:By far the greatest of all time:2pac in 2nd place and Biggie to round out the top 3:Classic:
5/5
really? this shit is average for him.i gave you power is his best work…ever.Best of all time?Eh,try pac 1st big second nas somewhere around 6 or 7
6th or 7th?Please let us in on what you’re smoking:Stop with the Waka Flocka style of HipHop and get serious or never post on here again:
All-Time:
1)Nas
2)2pac
3)Biggie
4)Rakim
5)Big Daddy Kane
6)KRS-One
7)Jay-Z
8)Common
9)T.I.
10)Big L
LOL
This nigga PrinceJimmy has T.I in his GOAT List
Fuck outta here
How is T.I. not on the list?He beats out Scarface and Andre3000 as the greatest Southern rapper of all time:He has 2 classic HipHop albums [Paper Trail & K.I.N.G] and 2 Southern classic albums [Urban Legend & Trap Muzik]:Respect T.I.’s work:He’s been one of the top 5 since 2004:
He, Jay-Z, and Nas are the only rappers who had big success in the early 2000s as solo artist who are STILL hot and relevant today:That’s a pretty impressive list:
T.I. is top 10:
T.I. is nice but better than Three Stacks? nah son. You hurt your head or something? Shoots, if it wasn’t for Beenie man, you yourself wouldn’t know who T.I. is.
This nigga said T.I is better than Andre 3000 and Scarface. T.I. isn’t even better than Bun B. Fuck outta here.
All time greatest Southern rappers:
1)T.I.
2)Scarface
3)Bun-B
4)Andre
5)8Ball
Andre is 4th:Lyrical but he isn’t a better overall HipHop artist than Bun, Facemob, & T.I:
This list became invalid when I saw no Eminem on it. How the fuck is Eminem not in the top 10? You mean to tell me all of these guys are better than Eminem? Fuck outta here.
First off, BDK is way too high. Kane is a legend but never top 5. I can live with the top 4 but at 5, thats when you start to get ridiculous. KRSOne is not top 10 Jimmy. Top 5 lyricist but not top 10 rapper. T.I. is cool but definitely not top 10. Replace him with Scareface.
by you putting t.i. on your list i can tell you dont know quality music.also by putting big l 10th on your list,can tell you’re from new york or that area.t.i. aint got shit on bun b,andre 3000,scarface,mjg or eight ball,trick daddy,lil keke,or wayne.Are you basing the list off of sales or subject matter?Start over.
Not sure what you’re trying to imply but Big L is definitely top 10:
Stop with the Eminem talk:He’s not top 10:
Why does everyone discredit Big Boi? Anyone who could hold their own weight against 3 Stacks deserves more credit then given. My south list. Biased opinions here.
1. Andre
2. Scarface
3. Big Boi
4. Bun B
5. Cee-Lo
Plus ATLiens, Aquemini & Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik harder than anything T.I. put out.
fuck yall haters, this shit bangs
this bangs
Great beat and great song…
Wasnt feeling the hook.
Nas still got it tho. I wish he’d focused on making a classic album.
Id lace up a track with Nas
Top 3 Mc’s not NY
1.Andree 3000
2.Scarface
3.C-lo Green (goodie Mob Days)
I want better for life is good.
best way to describe this = average
Tupac – 1
Eminem – 2
Jay-Z – 3
Rakim – 4
Biggie – 5
Nas – 6
Big L – 7
Redman – 8
Pun – 9
Scarface – 10
Lmao:Funniest list of all time:Eminem 2nd?That has to be some type of typo:Eminem is no where near the top 5:Redman?HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH:You kids go too far with the comedy these days:
Pun ahead of Facemob?Never:
Nas falls all the way to 6th?
Nas kills Jay-Z and Jay-Z is 3 spots ahead of him?
Are you kidding?Everything about this list is blasphemy:
DISMISSED!!!!!!
@PRINCEJIMMY11
So since he’s list isn’t like you’re list you call it blasphemy & dismiss it. GTFOH with all that ‘my opinion is holy & only matters bullshit.’ You got to grow up & realize everyone has a different opinions & their’s is just as important as yours. Who’s the little kid now huh? You.
Well I mean, there is this thing called an opinion you’re allowed to have, and you being intolerant of his doesn’t make you any better.
And you telling me that doesn’t make you any better either.
Man what is this shit? This shit wack! I mean who be bumpin this shit in the club? Yall never gon get a bitch to twerk to this lame shit. Fuck outta here with this overhype shit And listen to drake n weezy “She Will” now that’s some sweet soundin shit
either you’re sweet or a broad.She will? Two homos rapping about women.lies all lies.start over.
Haha you got your tight jeans in a twist nigga, Weezy and Drake? Nas does’nt need dumb niggas as fans…
2x what Obi Patrick real words no gimmicks posted
Top what ever lists are dumb and are subjective to the listeners taste. Just enjoy the music. Dont feel a need to rate A rapper versus B rapper. Every rapper is hot then not at some point.
Damn, haven’t heard this in awhile. Song came out three years ago or so. But yeah still waiting for the “Nasty” music video.
ok
1. nas
2. eminem
3. jayz
4. biggie
5. methodman
6. rakim
7. big l
8. prodigy
9. raekwon
10. jadakiss
You can tell youre from new york.all yall niggas stick together as far as who the best.Prodigy is wack and a snitch,raekwon is washed up,and methodman aint made a hit album since 2000.Start over
Sean- So true. The only 5 that live on that list are 1,2,3,4 & 7. The rest are a JOKE!!!
Respectable list:
Don’t even fucking go there tryna shit on Rakim without him we wouldn’t have the emcee’s we got today & that’s coming straight from the UK!
Replace Prodigy with DMX and that list is dope.
I can’t believe you bitch ass niggas not properly reviewing this classic, and it’s unreleased, most of his unreleased shit is better than whats on his albums, the concept is simple: if you think you’re well informed about what I’m doing you’re mistaken…
nas…nothin to fuck with
fuck your lists , just enjoy music
ther’s no shit like best rapper like kweli said
GRREATEST
Jay-Z’s “You Don’t Know” on the Blueprint album is so much better than this shit. Fuck Nas
fuck u too ugly bitch
why arent neggaz putting kanye in their lists of the best ever? Nas is a G.O.A.T
overall hip hop top ten, producers and/or rappers
nas
kanye
rakim
jay z
dj premier
tupac
RZA
dr dre
notorious
andre 3k
Kanye doesnt belong there, KRS ONE > Kanye
Kanye should not be that high:
Kanye as a rapper>>>average!
wat??? kanye shouldnt b that high??? please please somebody tell these niggas who kanye west is!!!!
it’s average but after listen to these new cats. , this shit sounds classic.
зачитал так, как будто одолжение Ñделал
This cool, this sound like something that should of been on I am…
You all list is whack!!! some of you got it close but not right. Here is the most accurate:
1.Tupac
2.Biggie
3.Nas
4.Big Pun
5.Big L
6.Jada
7.Eminem
8,9,10. Who cares????
Fu%k it!!!! Here is the rest!!
8. J.cole (n hasn’t even dropped an album but his shit is blazin!!!
9. Drake
10. Weezy
ewww weezy and drake hell nahh
This came out in the late nineties, then was re-mixed in like 2003, and now DX is droppin’ it like its some new shit. I don’t get it.
This shit is wack. I don’t know what to think of Nas. He came in nice with that Ghetto Dreams track with Common, now he’s back with weak production, and a weak hook. Sure he’s talking sense, and it’s all good. But man he’s fucking boring to listen to.
This song was made in 1999 dummy. Around the “I AM” album. You’d have to be an idiot to think that he recorded this after Ghetto Dreams…SMFH
this is hip hop pasty fakkit go back to arcade fire.
Why does everyone post their list & act like their opinion is greater than the others??
No one can hate on this list.
1.Biggie
2.2pac
3.Nas
4.Big Pun
5.Big L
6.Jay Z
7.Eminem
8.Andre 3k
9.Jada
10.Mos Def, Talib and Common
thanks for ur opinion,ur list sucks
again where is Rakim
you have a perfect top 10….
i don’t care what people think is MY top 5 all time best rappers.
Nas
Styles P
Ghostface
Kool G Rap
P (of mobb deep)
Then……
B.I.G
Big L
Big Pun
Jay-Z
Eminem
This is based on pure lyrics and hots beats. You can hate on my order but not the people on there. If anybody says these people are whack then they need to take listen to their tracks.
ODB
Dude that’s not a top 5
where is Rakim
you’re from new york right?all yall niggas….listen man,styles is a beast on some tracks,prodigy is wack,kool g rap is decent now but he was a problem when he came out,and i dont know why you put ghost on there.after supreme clientele it was over.start over
ODB was there too
so underrated it’s sad! AND HIPHOPDX WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU GET A BETTER NAS PIC!
good track!
Chorus is fucking Wack, Lyrics are dope, But that Beat is Boring as fuck, Nas just likes putting out Mediocre Shit.
wtf is wrong with the beat? the chorus is pretty good. and this is by far not mediocre.
naw…. be foreal the beat is wack..but its still good enough for my ipod
nas is the g.o.a.t, noone can fuck wit this dude. lyrically he is on a whole other level then any other rapper.
Right now, the best rapper is Nas. Not Jay. Not Em. Not Kanye. Em has the sales and videos, Jay still has the flows, and Ye has made some of the best albums ever. But as far as true MCing goes, Nas is the best. The only thing holding him back… a lack of amazing beats.
nas is the goat
dope
Nas once again droppin’ gems.
I don’t give a fuck this is my 10 rappers of all time
1.Nicki Minaj
2.Rihanna
3.Angeline Joline
4.2pac
5.Spice girls.
6.Beyonce
7.Jay z
8.LIl wayne
9.eminem
10.mac miller
11.shakespeare
u forgot will smith & shaq
or that horrible kobe song lol
Don;t forget TONY YAYO…
Thumps UP IF u agree.
Nas is the realest ever, it sounds like some ’96 shit.. money & murder, BRAVEHEARTS
straight up kanye is my favorite rapper/artist ever. i wouldnt even put him in my top ten mc’s based on pure hip/hop criticism/evaluation, but he is without a doubt ma fav. its so nice to see people throwing his name around on lists. the man might have the best first 3 albums to ever drop. and the production is on another level. yeezy love #dickrideallday
he used the beat from “the hardest thing to do is stay alive” which was suppose to be on the original “i am”(aka i am…nastradamous. it was a biography) the verses are different and he put a lady to sing a different hook instead of singing it himself. nas is the only cat i know who can bite his own beat and flip it around and still make it hot. that’s nas for ya
you couldn’t just say the last sentence? were you asked about the history of the track? did you think anyone cared? don’t you think every Nas fan would know that already? too much time on your hands son…
i like nas and didnt know. chill the fuck out
yeah why your are so crabby dude, I didn’t know that either. too much time on his hands? didn’t you just read it and comment?
yeah fuc u faggot..
where is the fucking love
yeah …thats some nas nerd shit…and most fans didnt know the history of the beat…Anonymous Probably likes men. not that any things wrong with that..but hes tryin to suppress it and its comin out on Dx. ha
Nas is the illest……..he is on another level…..Rakim type shit…….
I get mad Nastradamus vibes from this song.
That’s not a bad thing, I always thought that album was hella underrated.
Life’s Good
nas is goat god damit
yeah
goat
fuggin love nas
goat..
waiting on my life to get good
Either Nas is the GOAT. Or he is tied with ever other GOAT. No doubt about it.
Cool Song but my Favorite Rappers are Kanye West, Jay Z and Eminem. I’ll be adding Nas to my favorites list now.
saw NASIR at RTB amazing shit from the GOAT
Yall people act as if this song was written by nas yesterday.. this song is pretty old actually.. this is the REMASTERED version of the original which came out in 2001. Didnt mean to bust yall Nas NOOBs bubble.

You mean you’re career? No one gives a fuck about it…Nas? He got one of the realest career yo. You should swallow that.
@KRTM yeah like the time when he rapped about getting shot like pac and leaving the hospital.real as it gets.start over
THIS SONG HAS BEEN MADE AGES AGO!!! NAS IS STILL GOAT!!!
a notorious gangsta?nobody knew this nigga til he got into it with pac!and aint no black activist got shit to do with my statements.Read the book our black america and holla at me simple minded youth.like I said nas WAS a problem when he came out and up until he signed to def jam.after that he made paperweights.Hes a “every now and then nigga”.pac’s music is timeless.start over
Nas is so ill is studio floor scraps is better than all these niggas studio albums… lol
with this, nasty and that song with common, I like what nas has been doing recently!
now i agree with you on that.
This is old as hell…No rating.
yea its old beat wise, but the lyrics are extremely different..which is weird to do..lol..but whatever..i’ll rock with it for now
Song is deff old, I remember that “i fukk wit hoes with the ceilings have mirrors to watch me” line …song was aite, 2nd verse was nice
yea, it is a starwars beat but the lyrics are much different, but nice none the less. NaS, Keep it Coming!
you must have kissed nas in the mouth or on the ass or something.all your comments revolve around how great he is.he can rap,he had a couple good albums,but after jay got him on def jam,he became average.name a GOOD album he made since signing to def jam.
why u hatin cause he likes NAS hop off his nuts maybe he really likes his music the fuck do people feel like they gotta comment on other peoples opinions because they disagree…go hang yourself
This nigga Sean is a fag. . He probably don’t know good music. .Go listen to souljah boy dumbass
Im listening to nas now guy,i mean gay.i know good music and this aint good or average.Youre the one defending nas on everyones commentswhos really gay?Pac’s better than nas,jay ‘s better than nas,big’s better than nas.hang it up.start over
There is nothing like an MC whose music paints a picture. Classic, simple beat and ill flow. Lyrics>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
1. Nas
2. Rakim
3. Biggie
4. Pac
5. I’m not 100% sure who should go there.
what makes nas first?just how he raps?review your list,rearrange some names,and START OVER.
Talib? Big L? Hell, Throw Eminem on there
how do you not have a top five?
hov
who gives a FUCK about your top 5 list? really?
Alright, I think I’ll put KRS at 5.
sean
since nas signed to def jam, jay has made two of his worst albums Kingdome Come & BP3. so what’s your point? but who gives a fuck though.
we were talking about nas,not jayz dude.start over
I some intelligent ppl here making some intelligent comments….but for the most part
asee alot of DUMB comments. Looks like DX’s dan base is becoming younger and younger, which obviously is a daamn shame.
First off who caress if this track is OLD, still timeless still rap, and daaamn sure still HipHop, and you wanna know why? ONe word = Nas!
Yáll some young fishes to think Nas AINT in that top 5. I saw some lil nigga down there saying top 5: Soulja Boy, Gucci Mayne…etc etc whichever other clowns. I KNOW that person just fucking around and ppl to get mad….but that’s the problem. If your gonna comment on this site, let alone this page, put some constructive shit in! Otherwise move tha fuck out! You clicked on the damn link, and the link is NAS’s face, which means you would have only clicked on it, had you been interested, which means deep down inside, YOU LOVE NAS. YOU CANT HELP LOVING NAS. AND IF YOU DONT LOVE HIM, chances are, YOU RESPECT HIM. Shiiit half you niggas would kiss Nas’s feet IF he knocked on your stankin ass door. (btw this for the ppl who come from that time of actually growing up with Nas,who should know what he about – i aint even addressing you dicks who still let your moma wash your clothes.
OOh and too “Sean”, some dumbass muthafucka making the comments….your the type who comes on sites like DX, coz you have no belonging. You probably try to be into HipHop, you probably try to read up on shit and pretend to have a meaning, maybe your a social outcast who knows – one thing is for sure is that you know NOTHING about HipHop. Nas wouldnt need to make another record again in his life and he’ll still be in the TOP 5!!You know why alot of ppl are saying he GOOD??? Coz nigga is BETTER THAN GOOD!!! Illmatic? Nastrodamus?….oooh and you dumbFUCk…you want some albums after Jay came to Def Jam and basically pissed his 4 years there? how about Untitled? How about Distant Relatives with Damian Marley??? The fact that you have the audacity to come on this site, CLICK ON NAS”S FACE, and then diss somebody coz he speaking NOT just truth, but History (YES history, Nas is SOLIDIFIED in HipHop History!!!), it says enough about what you listen to….you probably got Flo Ridah posters or some ugly muthfucka like plies on your wall like some lil teen girl…..
NOBODY can Ever say anything about Nas…I can’t believe DX is even allowing these fools on here talking that shit. YO DX put some quality control on your site, so these retards cant ruin it for ppl who really understand Rap music and have some insightful shit to say!
untitled???that shit sucked worst than you on a friday night after you left a gay strip club.unlike you not only do i know hip hop,but i also know good music.in order for you music to be title a classic or timeless,it must reflect the life you live now.nas is way past the years of him fuckin bitches,yet he was still married when untitled was released.I never said he doesnt have flow or had flow,but stick to making music that touches peoples consciousness.He went mainstream and made hero?what a joke.nas is a great rapper,but he needs great production like the guys who helped him make classic music again(premier,pete rock,large professor).Stop trying to fit in with new producers(polow da don)and all that other bullshit and get back to that real street shit.start over
try to get a fuckin job
@Sean
OOOOHHHH the GAY joke….How do you do it??
Anyways…Untitled was a good album. Sure hero was commercial, but it made the charts, and it was viable, and it was still NAS. You say you know something about music and HipHop, name one rapper that brings out an album that doesn’t have commercially viable records on it, not coz they don’t have any other substance, but coz they HAVE to. Do you remember Nas standing outside of Fox building? They wasn’t even gonna let nigga release his album coz he gave it a name that he felt suited what he wanted to do. Not only that….plesae do your research homie, Nas had to shuffle that entire album around coz DefJam wouldn’t release it with the material that was on it, THEY were the ones who told him, you gotta put this out…take this off, put this on! Don’t you remember?? And what about Lost TApes? Nigga you read that letter???If You “KNOW” so much bout HipHOP, just bow down man and admit it! Ain’t nothing wrong admitting you agree with somebody else’s opinion other than your own! It actualy shows your humbleness…so don’t fret..Nas has been getting it from DefJam ever since L.A came to town. And you talking about he needs great production?DUUUH wat rapper doesnt!! shiiit even producers are getting paid more nowadays that rappers are…but Nas has done pretty alright on his own…and Don’t forget “Sean” – even IF thats yo real name, Rappers get a certain budget for an album….and when you get shitty budgets you get lower class producers. Plus nigga was up to his neck in alimony and shit that he wasn’t really gonna dig into his own pockets for something HE knows DefJAm wasnt supporting him on! Nas would LOVE to do that street shit…the problem is…he REALLY brings SO MUCH of that street shit when he is on it, that the labels dont want that shit…i.e the rift with DefJam. They get frightend of that shit!
And on classics…tell me 1 rapper tht has brought out – consistently – a classic (Pac & Big don’t count)….start over nigga!
Again…if you read my comments I stated that nas is a great rapper.and I remember him shuffling the untitled album. I also agree that the lost tapes is a classic.i never discredited nas,all I said was hes not gonna be who he used to be.another thing,if this guy such a great talent,which he is,why cant he take his time,get DECENT producers within the budget of the album, a create something epic?while everyone is coming at me like I hate nas,i dont.i have illmatic,i am, nastradamus,gods son,and lost tapes.you and your internet buddies on this site should send letters to def jam to motivate them to push him to make the music you and I know he can make. I never said “niggas make classics every album”,i said yall niggas make this nigga nas like whatever he makes is cold when its not like that.i respect a mans opinion,but respect mine too. also why cant we say pac & big?didnt they rap? ok ill say lupe fiasco,jayz, scarface,ice cube,young jeezy,and NAS.
Pac n Big Don’t count coz they are on some NEXT higher level than any rapper alive….Nobody will be able to take their momentum and match it…R.I.P
But I will give it to you you – Lupe Is Dope, Scarface – LEGEND, I saw ICE CUBE about a month ago in London O2 with naughty by nature…LEGEND….Jay…ofcourse LEGEND…Young Jeezy…hmmm AIGHT – By the Looks of It, you got Beef elsewhere nigga…HAHAHAHA. PEACE
ive had the cdq for 6 years
featuring KELIS
Get off of nas nuts, Sean. You a bitch made nikka
I never was on nas nuts my man.name calling on line…kinda childish .these are just my opinions.relax,smoke a square,drink a drink,and lets continue this rebuttal a diffent way without the disrespect.hol’up
Sean Damn nigga you live on here. Get a life.
@Sean Aren’t you the first one to come with the gay jokes? Gtfo
first off,you wouldnt know if I was on this site if you werent on here.stay in the A.second,i didnt start the gay comments.everyone else did.all im doing is givin my opinion on the nas record.everyones so defensive like you cant talk about nas or you a bitch ass ni99a,gay or whateva.either make a relevant reply or watch tv somewhere.ESISMOTTOB
who spitt better?
Nobody past present or future my son
Another track slayed by emcee # one
Since 94 when illmatic first dropped
The nigga they call nasty has been climbin to the top
Y’all should know better, i shouldn’t have to say the name
None of these clowns have any business in this rap game
After all these years hip hop ain’t dead
Spittin flames and razor blades, still a long road ahead
Damn, maybe I’m better? Maybe not. Nasty Nas = GOAT
NASTY!
sounds like some immortal technique shit

even though the beat was picked for the original I AM album 12 years ago.
this track is hot…but its a mad old track..this song has nothing to dowith the life is good album
Nas sounds good on Trackmasters wish they’d make a new cd like It Was Written
h
Is that Kelis on the hook…?
This must be old as shit lol
wow this is how you rap
old and yet dope.
nas is the king , GOAT
I concur.
THE GREATEST!
Just said a few days ago I need some new Nas music…and here it is. NAAAAAAAAAAAASIR
I WISH IT WAS 97′ 98′ again, I want him and 50 on song together again, and him runnin with Trackmasters, maaaaan those were the days, few know them two QB boys ran together my two favorite rappers. NAS THE KING and 50 THE RULER….miss the boom bap but this shit bring it back, NASIR FOR LIFE REAL HIP HOP!
5/5! He’s Bring Hip Hop Back! 90’s For LIFE!
nas will always be legend
Nasy Kid.
nas is brining real hip hop back… fuck the rest
I have heard this before but this is dope
what if Nas n Eminem do a mixtape or somesht. Would b fire
Yeah, would be nice to see Nas getting destroyed with any single Eminem line.
^to the dumbfuck anonymous above me nas actually destroyed and wrecked eminem on the topless track produced by dre i thnik you should go listnin to that , and nas is on a whole other lyrical level eminem is way too fucking overated
Yeah that track eminem did get destroyed but wasn’t it written for dr dre or something? Nas wouldn’t do anything like that with nobody though unless there were a 90’s rapper and still had the same style. Eminem would get completely destroyed though.
LOL, you braindead dumb fuck, Em has written that verse for Dre. Nas destroying Eminem are you serious? Eminem and Nas are two COMPLETELY different rappers, Eminem is highly technical and uses multi-syllabic rhymes over multisyllabic rhymes while dropping complex wordplay and metaphors with countless flow variations, Eminem made his way to the top by battling rappers, have you heard his freestyles? That’s something Nas could never do, Eminem has more rhymes on one track than Nas on a whole album, did you forget Hell: The Sequel? Nas rapping like Em on Fast Lane or Welcome 2 Hell? Get the FUCK outta here, Nas would never jump on the same track as a hungry Royce. LMAO. He was scared to give Eminem a part on The Cross, kicked out Cormega, because he outshined him and didn’t appear on the released Firm track with Canibus. Eminem
can hold down his own with EVERY rapper, Nas can’t do this, his flow is waaaay too one dimensional. Lose Yourself >>> Illmatic.
Yeah, Em’s would be, you don’t know a single fucking thing about Hip Hop, if you call Nas a technical rapper or a spitter. Eminem would rip this dumb dropout to shreds before he could even respond. Eminem is another universe when it comes to straight rapping ability, Nas sucks at straight rapping, I would LOVE a freestyle video of him, to hear him getting EMBERASSED, Nas holding his own on a track with a motivated Royce?! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, you would forget his voice forever, if he’d appear on such a track, but thankfully, he’s too scared to do shit with Eminem. His mic presence is one of the weakest ever, while Eminem and Royce ripped the mic for an hour with their lyrical firestorms and ever changing, highly technical flows. Nas’ nursery rhyming is down there with Gucci’s, his freestyles would be even worse. The analogies he did on that Wayne track were HORRIBLE AS FUCK, GET THIS NON-SKILLED, TREND FOLLOWING SUCKER FOR LOVE OUT OF THE RAP GAME!!!
Going Through Changes >>> Nas’ career.
Going through Changes was aight. Recovery wasnt even that good. Same with Hell: The Sequel. You dumbass, how the fuck is Lose Yourself better than Illmatic. Nas and Em have way different flows. Eminem is on those Fast Lane type flows and Nas is NY State of Mind. Both have great flows but Fast Lane isnt Nas. Nas is in the fucking top 5 rappers in history. Eminem isnt even in the top 10. Stop boosting you Eminem groupie.
I hate Eminem’s music personally, because I can’t get over his annyoing voice, but skills is skills and are undeniable. No, Eminem has way more different flows and is able to adapt to every beat and change it one song, while staying on beat, that’s something Royce explained around the time Success Is Certain came out on MTV, that’s something Nas could never do, just out of this world rapping abilities, where you could tell shit and it would still sound awesome. Nas never was a flower, don’t make him out to be one. Eminem is, from a rapping standpoint, the greatest ever. Point blank, period. Nobody touches him all around, he’s has the skills of the GOATS in there respective department everywhere, he can fuck with the best in every discipline. Nas rapping with some of these crazy underground rappers? GTFOH, be true, NEVER. There is NO rapper who’s more technically gifted than Eminem. If he’s serious and motivated, NO ONE can fuck with him, rappers are SCARED of him, check what Scarface had to say, he didn’t want to get ”renegaded”, said Eminem is a monster and he respects Jay for letting him have a verse. From pure rhyming skills no one comes even close to him, freestyling and battling, nobody. He has the technical skill of underground rappers and the the topics of someone like Nas. He’s the most well rounded rapper ever, he would give EVERYONE from Pharaoahe Monch to G. Rap to Black Thought a run for their money. Jay outshined Nas everytime and Eminem outshined Jay with ease, so what’s the talk about? Nas couldn’t outshine someone like Cormega or Game, they rivaled him and made his shit seem pointless, Em would’ve left these fools leagues behind him, especially Cormega, who’s way too standard for him, Nas and Cormega? They sound about even, off delivery, rhymes and lyrics, way more simplified than Em’s shit, imagine Eminem on a track with Cormega? LMAO. It would seem like Waka and Black Thought, Eminem is just way too talentend on every level.
all of you are crazy if you say Em destroys nas with one line, deadass your just dick riders both eminem and nas are insane lyricsists only thing differnet are the topics. I honestly think nas is more deeper and raps about real shit but Eminem is def top 5 best rapper of all time. You dumbass eminem dick riders don’t even know nas strongly inspired eminem to rap go listen to infinte he uses nas flow on alot of the tracks, eminem gives respect to nas in alot of songs theres is no reason to ever try to divide them there both 2 of the illest rappers the game has ever seen why would you hate on either one smh its just dick riders these days that listen to 1 artist and think theres no one better and everyone else is wack compared
Lose yourself better than Illmatic? Going through changes better than Nas career? U guys cant be serious. Nas is a lyrical beast. I dont know wtf ur listening to.
All of u anonymous bitchs up untill the last 1, YA’LL MUST STILL BE LISTEN 2 NURSERY RAPPERS. Nas is 10x better and more lyrical them Em is. Em is a punch line specialist. Don’t get me wrong, Em is sick but better then Nas?????? Did ur mother ass fuck u wit Ems dick when u was lil? Dick suckin fruit cake ass n***as.
look at these hoes on this site suckin and garggling eminems nuts again. stop it. em is nice but u fags rate everything he puts out as a 5. rate music according to the quality of music, not based on which rapper makes u bitch niggas pussy tingle. homos. that being said eminem is no where close to Nas.

Such a pointless immature debate when it’s pretty much an agreed on fact by non hating hip hop heads that nas & em @ their best are BOTH 2 of the ILLEST super dope emcees of all time
eminem done fell off majorly. yeah he got lyrics for days but he dont be talkin about nothin at all.
5/5
Too Real
Searching for a decent line.
Dope beat.
Great track from one of the greatest to ever do it. 5 Stars.
Dope intro lyric…although, he biting. He oulined Supa Luva/Cassanova dem “funky dope manuva/james brown” joint from back in the 80’s. Cool track all the same.
