so you shittin on him for talkin that gun shit but if they made some pop drake type bullshit rap youd be bitching about that too sayin they sold out. Fuck off nigga
BETTER THAN AZ BITCH NIGGA. BECUZ AZ COULDNT ELEVATE IN THE WAY NAS DID AND SPECIALLY BEEN WITH THE LIKES OF BIGGIE N JAY-Z WHOM ALL CAME OUT ROUND THE SAME TIME WHICH MEANS AZ WASNT DOING SOMETHIN RIGHT…
what u mean nas is cool but not better then AZ? may i remind you has the greatest rap album ever not to mention that he is the greatest lyricist? hes been so consistent, everything he is dropping this year has been fire.
At the above comment, NaS is not the greatest lyricist ever. AZ is a better lyricist and he’s not the greatest lyricist either. However, NaS is a better overall artist. He is quite creative and has a way better catalog then AZ.
bar for bar its debatable and i put az in my top 5. Though he definitely doesnt have the commercial success nas has hes so severely slept on its nuts. But the fact that its even a debate makes az one of the greatest rappers to come along, album sales aside.
Ilmatic or Reasonable Doubt are the best hip hop albums ever.. ima have to go w/ illmatic because tracks 2-6 are all like top 25 greatest hip hop songs of all time. It Was Written is a classic but not quite there.
I was about to diss this song but Nas saved it, It was written was garbage to commercial after Illmatic then he came back with that. Mobb Deep, drugs and gunplay these cats been in the game since 93 so they have to be close to 40 and you still on that.
@ Jason; no how no way not a chance is IWW garbage man. That album is a fucking classic for real… see the dudes comment above to know the time… I don’t get why Nas got criticized so hard for being commercial with that one… Pac was killing the charts, BIG was, Nas had illmatic which is like the rap bible but he couldn’t sell a mill out the gate… what did people expect Nas to do? Dude was like 18-19 trying to get out the projects of course he wanted to appeal to a wider audience and sell big like the other rap kings… not a single fucking weak track on IWW
Don’t agree? feel however you want to feel… but IWW can challenge your favorite artist’s best CD anyday
No disrespect but i felt like you until i started listening to the lyrics on It Was Written…ITS DOPE….it’s not illmatc but shit..it’s classic…i think his second best record is THE LOST TAPES
The only people who complain about someone being 40 and rapping is a newbie who can’t get into the door. Somehow you feel self entitled and think it must be handed to you. ARE YOU OVER 40 TO TELL THE NEXT ONE HOW TO LIVE, or are you just repeating what someone told you how to live?
Now are you going to Dr Oz it and tell everyone what they should eat for breakfast? And you wonder why you haven’t been passed the torch, you ain’t worthy.
HONESTLY MOBB DEEP AND NAS THESE BOYZ SOME RAP PIONEERS CANT WAIT FOR THAT MOBB DEEP ALBUM.. ALWAYS BEEN FAN OF THESE CATZ KEEP SPITTIN AND NAS HE IS IN HIS OWN WORLD. DOPE TRACK !
It was written is my favourite too…People seem to get butt hurt when you say that you like it over illmatic though…illmatic was a lyrical masterpiece though.
yo mobb deep is in my top 5 and same for nas nyc hiphop i bleed and breathe that shit and with all do resepct this shit is just not as ill! prodigy flows so slow like he doped up and havoc! nas is rhyming slow and basic to shit he dont even rhyme nomore! ! i mean hey havoc should just be a producer and nas and p should just hang it up there overall body of work is classic! so its nothing for them to prove
okay i read thee comment before i heard the song. Im a nas fan and yall made it sound like he spit the 10 commandments or some shit. it was dope but im sick of you overzealous niggas who dickride everything this nigga says like its gospel. it was dope… but it doesnt warrant the kinds of reactions you niggas are giving it. fuck outta here with that shit. this coming from a die hard nas fan…. yall stay over-selling shit. just say its dope then sit the fuck down.
Word. TRUE fans who supported him since he came onto the scene, CRITICIZE him, because they want him to do better, but nobody needs dickriders that lie to you.
Is this site for real? this song sucked lol. P and Hav are washed up, havent been nice since…what…Murda Muzik? HINC? Come on, these guys still talkin gun talk?? Been exposed soooo many times….Nas was nice, buuut again…gun talk???
WoW, nice beat and Nas bodied the track..seriously one of the most consistent..im more glad that grown men can just squash shit and make good music. now..how about a 50 and nas track for 2012?
I can’t get this album with my mom. Come on “Black Cocaine” Mobb Deep come the freak on. What am I suppose to say
Me “Mom”
Mom “Yes son”
Me “Can we go to FYE”
Mom “Why?”
Me “I want to get a cd”
Mom “What cd”?
Me “Black Cocaine”.
Mom’s responce “definately not” beats my ass just for asking
this shit fire!…live shit for 2011 niggas!Real rap shit.im 38 man and im still the young GOD..Ya’ll nigggas got to understand that these niggas was ilL at 25 and they still ill at 35-40year old Fly niggas stay ill at 25,35.45 and so on.These niggas was in the era that started ill shit.Fall Back if u not feelin’ this shit. WORD!
word is bond yoo, nas on a serious tip has just about bodied and slaughtered every track this year he is definitely top 3 and once life is good drops he will take the crown as the greatest of all time if not already.
that’s true there’s definitely a double standard among these hip hop “purists”. the golden commandments they always preach about only seem to apply to the rappers they personally dislike. but when nas does it he’s the GOAT. hmmmmm
hes rappin about qb and what its like, not about how many people hes bodied how many bricks hes sold how hes got all of miami on lock with cocaine hes not pretending to be the real rick ross like rick ross does and nas is much more lyrical. hes a ghetto poet he like a reporter he doesnt pertend like he about it like the ex corrections officer rick ross so theres a huge diff. nas is a legend and rick ross is shit under his shoe
@JJ cosign fully borther nas always spit that lyrical intelligience, hes intellectual with the vivid pictures he creates, you feel as if your in queensbridge, unlike these other fake rappers.
@JJ that’s the weakest argument you could have made.
i was hoping someone would give a real response but the truth is there is definitely no difference in content between ross and these other rappers including nas. I could name you countless albums and songs where nas talks about catching bodies and dealing drugs and mob life and killing people and mad criminal activity that he never did. 2pac even went at dude for that. your argument’s weak.
@JJ when ross does it he’s being fake when nas does it you call it “ghetto poetry” and “news reporting”. come on man you cant be serious. its almost embarrassing now how you make lame excuses for rappers you like but then condemn rappers you dislike for the exact same shit. nas makes a song like shootemup and you call it ghetto news reporting. ross makes a song like bmf and you call him a fraud. get the fuck outta here man. I’m sick of how you niggas are shameless about your hypocrisy.
The fact is that nas is telling stories of the world…Did he really kill himself, his wife and the guy fucking her after he caught his wife in bed? No he didn’t. He just uses particular stories as concepts. With rick Ross he actually is bragging about what he supposedly does. Nas tells a story and includes it. Plus nas is lightyeara ahead of Ross lyrically…his analogies alone set him apart from Ross. He is a thug narrator…he says it himself.
we’re not talking about nas story tracks. we’re talking about half his catalogue where he’s catching mad bodies shootin up churches and being a super drug lord. he even called himself escobard for a few years come on fam. stop making excuses for this nigga. ross got some real ass tracks just like nas does. listen to “tears of joy”. but they both do “gangster rap”. but for some odd reason its never an issue when nas does it..
You mean you can’t tell the difference between a highly poetic rapper from the hood and a former correctional officer? Are you sure this Hip Hop stuff is for you?
lol that’s actually true there’s definitely a double standard among these hip hop “purists”. the golden commandments they always preach about only seem to apply to the niggas they dislike.
Mehh, I wasn’t really feelin’ the song. Mobb Deep ain’t been hot for a while. And NaS has dropped some classics, but this isn’t one of them.
I agree, there is a bit of a double-standard when it comes to NaS. IMO, he’s made 3 great albums (Illmatic, Stillmatic, and God’s Son) and the rest have been mediocre to downright awful.
Nas can tear it up at a live show (seen him twice) but I think most of his stuff lately has been garbage.
Lyrics in this song are pretty raw, but the delivery kinda sucks, and I don’t like the beat. I’m not a hater, just telling it like I feel it.
It was written was in my opinion his strongest album…shame on you for calling it mediocre. Four classics and yea nastradamus was bad and I am wasn’t much better but undying love was one of the most detailed stories and steers disciple, untitled and the lost tapes were good albums. What let’s him down is his beat selection.
but tupac has been dead. for about 15 years now. so let it go. and yeah…this is back to form for mobb deep; which is alittle above average. Nas did the best but not his best….but yeah this is a solid 6.75 outta 10 at best.
He does have some classic hits. In my opinion not everything (everything means all his tracks) he did is deemed classic, but you gotta respect MOST his work is dope.
Mobb Deep have fabricated their gangsta lifestyle. Before they became rappers they were not hustlers, killers etc. Although Prodigy has now a criminal record for smoking weed and carrying a gun But that doesnt make him a gangsta.
Nas used to call himself Nas Escobar named after famous druglord Pablo Escobar. Nas is a pussy who never was a hustler or whatever.
My POINT Nas and MOBB DEEP are as fake as Rick ROss
Yo, they call me Nas, I’m not your legal type of fella
Moet drinkin, marijuana smokin street dweller
who’s always on the corner, rollin up blessed
When I dress, it’s never nuttin less than Guess
Cold be walkin with a bop and my hat turned back
Love committin sins and my friends sell crack
This nigga raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
I’m like scarface sniffin cocain, clutchin the m 16.
how you settle beef with a rose, and his funeral send him a family a reef that expose.
You gonna start hating on nas now?
I could do this day nigga. you have no defense. just admit that nas is guilty of the same things ross is. everybody knows, but everybody ignores it. nas in my top 5 and ross has crazy potential. I just hate it when niggas put pointless standards on one rapper but not another just cause they hate it.
sick beat,sick rhymes…first time in a while that nas’s verse didnt come out on top, he’s had best verse in the last few guest appearances ive heard of late…
dog most people your ass listens to are fake ass gangstas…i love you people think you know whose real and whose fake like how the fuck do you know who is doin what and whose street and whose not haha too funny you people think you know so much about shit
Nope, Prodigy had fights with Saigon and Keith. Saigon punched him and ran, as for Keith he said he beat up P. True life and Pac have never fought with P
That dickriding for Nas is going to make him overrated in the future. It’s the worst thing you can do as a true fan. People read his name and vote 5 before they listen. You guys are lying to yourselves.
so nas is overrated? haha wow youre an idiot…this eli dude stfu go listen to loli pop or how to love you fuckin homo real hip hop over hear none of that radio fuckin garbage go listen to young money a bunch of bitches who done even write their own rhymes nas is one of the greatest period dont like him then why the fuck you listening to this shit
phil you totally missed the point. agree 100% with nate. this is from a die hard nas fan. wtf does this have to do with young money phil. obsessed much?
You niggas ever hear of gangsta rap? Why do you niggas only call ross fake for talking that mob shit when thousands of rappers including nas do the same shit.. Its called gangster rap, why do you think they call it that? do you think any of these rappers are real gangster. do you think nas caught mad bodies and done mad robberies and kidnappies and drug dealin? Yall sound ridiculous sometimes im sorry but its true.
didnt pac make an entire album dissing nas for his fake life? “You seen too many movies… you live in fantasies niggas”
Yo, yo Nas. Big and Pac didn’t like you man
So get off they dick please man
This is Ice and Cormega man
Comin’ for you, faggot!!
A nigga named Nas think he live like me
Now its on ’till he R.I.P, the odds might be
Against me, you real, convince me, I think you a bitch
Nasty Nas all ya life you praised me
Your daughter might be Jay Z’s
Illmatic was real cause you was tryin’ to portray me
Matter of fact, time for Sony to pay me
For “Life’s a bitch, God forbid the bitch divorce me”
“Street Dreems”, and every other rhyme you got off me
yo..this song was realesed after pac died…but 3 days before he was shut in vegas..pac and nas meat in central park, and they made peace, pac told suge and snoop, that the minute he gets back to la, he is going to erase the shit he recorded about nas, couse nas is a real nigga’ and they can change the world togheter..go see suge night and snoop interviews over this..
^ pac and nas made peace but all that other shit you said is not true. pac never planned on erasing the record. he told nas about it and that was the courtesy he gave him… but that record wasnt only about nas, he was never going to erase it. and they made peace because nas bowed down as pac would say. he made half a dozen disses to nas dissing him not just on makaveli. everything he said about nas was true whether they made peace or not.
you don’t know your history…go search suge knith interview about this ..he says word what pac said about eraseing bad shit about nas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=G_eTV744zqM) and about the other shit you’re sayin ..snoop said that nas was the real gangster in the central park meeting because he had 100 armed hommies with him there an he could have pac snoop and the dogg poud killed but he didn;t..and thats gangsta (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NCCBzQ-mM_w) …. glad to bring you knowlage
Stop Hating!
Nas used the name “Escobar” while Pablo Escobar was already dead… like Daz, Dillinger, Capone, Noreaga etc. Not like officer Ricky, while Freeway Rick is still alive…
funny thing is if anything ross is doing it the right way because he went to court and won for the use of that name. so them other niggas you’re false flagging for actually are more fraudulent.
Stop bitching…
That’s part of Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap…
Why all the hate because of a name? Didn’t you get enough love from your mama when you were a kid or is your penis too small???
Are you hating about others, too? About Scarface? Godfather Pt 3? Un Pacino? …because of the names?? Fuck the name, listen to the music you cunt
Nas is the best rapper ever. He got the best legacy. Look at Illmatic, its ranked as THE greatest album ever and thats not even my favorite album by Nas….. THATS Crazy!
Sorry to say that, but Illmatic is nowhere near close to being the greatest album of all time. 9 tracks, one of them being whack. He got some of the best producers of all time in their primes and had heat for 8 tracks. That’s not enough. Everyone would’ve dropped a classic if he had those producers behind him. There were other albums around that time that had TWICE the amount of Illmatic WHILE maintaining the same level of quality for the whole LP. It’s not even Nas’ best album.
^^^ Anonymous; you are a fucking moron. Illmatic is widely regarded as the best hip hop album of all time. Everybody knows that seriously. Now if you don’t think so thats fine, but to even suggest that it is not even close? FAIL. What track on Illmatic is wack? OR EVEN IN THE REALM OF BEING WACK? This might be the most blatantly retarded thing I have read on this site
LOL @ ‘if so and so got those producers the album would have been as good or better’. MISERABLE FUCKING FAIL. Yeah and if Nas had Kanye/Just Blaze/Timbaland doing all his production like Jay every album he dropped would be a classic. WOULD HAVE COULD HAVE SHOULD HAVE = absolute bullshit.
Other albums that had twice the amount of Illmatic? You realize you are using the standard that Illmatic set for lyricism to critize the album itself right? And what album at that time had the same level of ‘Illmatic’ that Illmatic had genius? COLOSSAL FUCKING FAIL
Illmatic not Nas’ best album? Well you might be onto something, matter of fact IWW is my favorite. But Lost Tapes is right there with the both of them. To have three albums of that classic calibre warrants top 3 placement all time for Nas without a doubt though. CALL THIS ONE A SUCCESS
Em is 10x better than nas
jay is 10x better than nas
Nas=horrible flow, no witty lines, no punchlines, no complex rhymes, poor wordsmith…Just simple lyrics and overrate him as hell.
And for those calling illmatic GOAT, u are very stupid. How does a 9 track album translate to GOAT ? when rappers like 2pac and biggie release double cd’s as 1 album. Em constantly release 17-20 tracks classic. which great song is on illmatic ? Stan is cultural milestone(even nas uses the word stan). 99 problems was a milestone as well. which memorable song is on illmatic?
you start off saying horrible flow, no wit or punch lines, and a poor wordsmith. then you end with saying you love nas.
dont fucking talk shit on one g.o.a.t. and then say oh no i love him. make up your mind you indecisive bitch
nas stands for something greater than jay and nas, you dumb little pussys dont know shit, and i aint even a big nas fan but eminem has gone weak and so has jay so for you to make them 10x better than nas is girl reaction, emotional.
You say Nas has no witty lines? Dude just said “No clip in your Glock,you ain’t prepared to fire/You call that ridin’ with no air in your tire?” Come again?
Em/Jay>>>>>>>>>>Nas. Period. Em and Jay at 20% speed are both better than Nas at his prime. Stay Wide awake off relapse(One of Ems Weakest album) is better than about every track/song Nas has/had/have ever written in his career !!!
If you can’t hear that Jay and Em are far superior to Nas in every aspect of rapping, you have to be fucking retarded. Both of them shit all over Nas when it comes to skills.
The flow and rhyming on Lose Yourself makes One Mic sound like a piece of garbage.
Keep trying faggot, u gon meet ur idol Nas eventually, when u do, dnt do dem gay shit arnd him though if u dnt want to get smacked the fuck by Jungle or Budha.
You don’t know much about this hip hop stuff do you. “Witty lines”- you a Lil Wayne fan right. You can’t possible understand the idea of painting the picture of a block within a couple of bars and taking you through it. No pyrotechnics, no gimmicks, just taking you through it.
If you want cheap one-liners go pick up the drake album, the real shit is not for you.
WHAT CLASSIC….Biggie must be your boy that album is not even good. We put blinders on when it come to our favorite artist, Chronic classic, Death Certificate classic, Amerikkka most wanted classic, Redman first 3 albums classic, The most beautifulist thing in the world classic, krs one krs one classic, Ass cash or gas (k-dee)classic,only built for a cuban linx classic, its many many more but life after death is not one.
who really gives a fuck about all your comments… Nas is dope. period.. pac was overated as well.. and biggy even more..
biggy dropped one album…….. and thats it.. you cant compare him to pac who released an album every year.. who know biggy might have fell of his seconf album…. he was already on that corny puffy shit.. anyway fuck all rappers i hate them but i love hiphop. the majority of rappers are what is wrong with hip hip.
some people have totally no knowledge about hiphop. Life after death is a fuckin classic. All the flows and styles biggie dropped. sharp lyrics etc. go listen to drake you faggot
It’s the same “anonymous” goof that goes bashing Nas on every single page he’s on. Such a fucking lame. Go e-stalk someone else if you ain’t digging his music.
long time mobb fan this new mobb shit is WACK. worst prodigy shit ever havoc fell all the way off with the beats and the beats they got evoke no feeling. picked some boring ALC beats. This shit is garbage. Sound tired. Big names who all lost it.
damn G first off nas is one of the most gifted nicest creative versatile, lyrical, conscience artist with great word play as far as havoc he did said a pretty good verse but he has & can do better ofcourse the same with prodigy i feel mob can do alittle better than what they doing now when coming to the verse cause there verses on there oldest classic track are hot & they need to return back to that especially prodigy
Whoever said they like jay and em>nasir like pop music not HIP HOP.
em and jay are POP MUSIC!
NAS IS HIP HOP!
You think 12 year old little girls have a nas or mobb deep cd. hell no!
but they damn sure got 3 each of em and jay.
don’t get it twisted homie.
outta here! i like rae and all, but i liked obfcl-I 50% because of rza and the other wu-produers, 25% cuz of all the wu appearances and 5-10% because of NAS, who had 1 on the dopest verses on the whole album!
go listen to all the other garbage rae albums not named obfcl I/II; and i’m from va.
matter fact havoc did his thing on that track the beat is real good i like it , havoc put in a nice verse havoc put a better verse than prodigy as far as prodigy he put in a good verse but not better than havoc on this one, but i believe prodigy already have & could do better on delivering the verse for this track & as far as NAS i’ll forever love him cause he prove to be naturally talented & hope he keep it like that !
Truthfully there is no G.O.A.T everybody like who they like. I would say you people have gotten real emotional over the years yall type in all caps like bitches screaming at each other. Since Nas copy Rakim style I can say Rakim is the G.O.A.T, but there is no G.O.A.T. For sure its not LL Cool J.
Not bad. P/Hav stay getting shown up by Nas every time they throw down, and Nas didn’t even rip it that hard… few things though
a) Dudes digging Nas for being ‘fake’
Just stop. If you guys base your opinion of a rapper based on the veracity of the shit he claims then you are FUCKING MORONS. People have claimed Nas didn’t bust guns, sell drugs whatever and maybe they’re right. And Nas has claimed and alluded to doing that sure. But most of the time he raps from the perspective of an OBSERVER, so that doesn’t diminish the truth of his storytelling [cept on songs like shoot em up etc.]. But every rapper is bullshitting and if you fucks haven’t learned that by now than I feel sorry for you. So if you are going to say Nas isn’t real, that criticism needs to be leveled at your favorite rapper. And besides, how the fuck do you know if something is true or not? Were you there? No. And as far as Rick Ross, dude may have been a CO but he gets THE MOST BANGING BEATS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW… act like his shit isn’t hot really you guys know you feel it… fraudulent or not. The MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. And with Nas, he changes his concepts, subject matter all the time… is he ‘fake’ when he raps about shit that has nothing to do with the street life too? GTFOH
b) Nas stans
Look I am one too truthfully, but don’t call shit like this classic because it’s just not and you dudes know this. Nas has, though, been on fire this year for real. I am not sure I have heard a verse this whole year better than his part on carter IV. But I digress. Don’t rate because of an artist’s name before you even hear the track… come on now
c) Em/Jay stans
I hear people claiming Nas stans are the worse, but don’t act like Em/Jay stans don’t overrate the mediocre shit they have put out lately. I am sorry but WTT/BP3 were wack as hell and you Jay stans still call that shit nice. Matter of fact, Jay hasn’t done shit since Black Album. And Em, he hasn’t fallen like Jay but Recovery and Relapse were nothing special.
We come from where murders occur often on late nights
Niggas is high and they eyes be red as 2 brakelights
Medical marijuana, Henny bottles, and Grey Goose
Semis and shottys on deck, everybodys face screwed
But you know this already, my hood the coldest and deadly
Soldiers is ready, I am boastful, forgive me
Bitches talking to cops cry when they nigga get washed
Beef coulda been squashed, go finish that shit that you start
No clip in your Glock, you aint prepared to fire
We call that riding with no air in your tire
Youre flattened, its a pattern after scrapping
What usually happen, death on arrival
Survival of the fittest, aint nothing like that Queensbridge shit
Yall niggas finished, your only chances are diminished
And we dont need no f-cking witness
Aint what you know, its what you live and we live it
wow, this is nasty as shit. mobb is back with the straight fire. this is the music i’ve been waiting for from mobb for a long time. this is quality music. beat is nuts nas killed it and he mobb always on point
Nas still got it..he always on point and gets better and better each feature he does.can’t wait til his next album..Untitled was great..as 4 mobb deep i feel sorry 4 them they haven’t dropped anything good since 1999.Prodigy had that hot HNIC solo album in 2000 after that there were done..but this track is banging tho.even if Prodigy & Havoc’s pen game has fallen off
1. The man proclaims to be a speaker for the black youth and a new age revolutionary with his lyrics, yet has made a number of trashy hip pop songs which are the same thing he claims to detest. Hova sums it up with this line –
Is it “Oochie Wally Wally” or is it “One Mic”?
Is it “Black Girl Lost” or “shorty owe you for ice”?
2. Once claimed that “queens nigg*z run you, ask russel simmons” in reference to Rocafella’s bosses. Is now under Jay-Z’s creative reign and wing at Def Jam.
3. Watched his wife Carmen have sex with his enemy and then go sell her affair to the media. Watched her write a book containing intimate details involving nas and revealing embarassing details about his sexual relevance. Nas’s daughter will one day read this material
4. His bodyguard came with a better flow on Oochie Wally.
5. Never succesfully put one of his artists into the game, ****ed up the bravehearts his “closest” homies careers and that of an actually talented individuals in Quan & AZ.
6. Has never succesfully breached the buisness side of rap music, with label failure after failure and the cancellation of a recent reality show with his wife Kelis due to a lack of interest by the public.
7. Jay has Beyonce, Nas has Kelis. Nas lost
8. Tony Yayo’s debut album sold more then Hip Hop Is Dead.
9. Didnt make The Firm a success despite 90% of production from Dr. Dre and a crew comprised of Cormega, Foxxy Brown, Nature and AZ.
10. Everybody deep down knows that Reasonable Doubt is a better album then Illmatic, but will not admit it.
11. Released the most dissapointing double album in hip hop history
12. Had unresolved beef with Tupac and Biggie, two of hip hops most important figures.
13. AI smashed
14. He smashed Mary J. Blige’s old ass.
15. Rakim was tot busy in a Juelz Santana video to go to his own unauthorized biography shoot for Nas.
@whack….what does any of that have to do with his flow? Jigga signed him because he felt threatened. Nas killed Jigga on Success and Black Republicans.
@coolstory
Thats a good one… Nas killed Jay on Black Republicans and Success. Get the fuck outta here son. They both bodied those tracks. And Jay never had to sign Nas. He only did it to end the beef. Besides, having Nas under HIS label makes him look better. You Nas stans never give a break do you.
That being said, Nas is definitely one of the best still.
@whack
Damn, does NaS owe you money? You sound like a disgruntled NaS hater for real. I mean, you’re still tripping off the Oochie Wally shit? That chapter was closed YEARS ago. Between you and Nas, I bet I know who sleeps well at night…smh
@Whack – Damn dude you’re a bitch ass nigga – most of your so called facts are not even relevant anymore. You hangin on to stuff thats like 10 years ago then on top of that their half truths. Stop it my dude, you’re embarrassing yourself.
Unless tony yayo went platnum he didnt sell more then hip hop is dead 764,000 is the totally of albums sold till 2008. & tony yayo debuted at 2. nas #1 with more sales. sorry your facts are fake
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! LUPE IS JUST A RELIGIOUS NUT JOB AND PEOPLE THINK HES THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME? SERIOUSLY?
NAS WOULD FLAME GRILL HIS ASS LIKE HE WORKED IN BURGER KING… LUPE STANS ARE THE FUNNIEST THEY ALL STUPID AS FUCK, HE HASNT EVEN GOT A CLASSIC ALBUM… WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE BEST RAP ALBUMS THEY DONT MENTION LUPE… ILLMATIC IS ONE OF THE FIRST ALBUMS EVERY RAP FAN SAYS AND LUPE IS BETTER HAHA FUCK OUT OF HERE
Lupe lyrically might get Nas but Album wise Nas made 3 classics and Lupe has no classics so Nas wins the debate but far as lyrically go Wu-Tang and Lupe are some of the best to do it!!!!!!!!!
is this guy dumb to even classify lupe in the same category as nas? Nas is lightyears ahead of lupe, nas fathered lupe, and LYRICALLY? YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKIN WITH ME, nas shits on everyone lyrically.
Nas dickriders and cocksuckers coming out of their holes again. SMH @ these pathetic fags having the need to defend him on every single occasion. LOL @ you worthless fucks living trough him via this site because you have no other place where you bastards can cheer your idol without getting laughed at. Nas has 10 albums, but the great majoirty of them are mediocre or even garbage. Lupe >>> Nas. There’s NO skill Nas is better at. LMAO @ them writing the same generalizations over and over again, just repeating what they heard everywhere else to fit in. Putting status and name over actual music quality is the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard. Lupe got him on rhymes, double-entendres, coherency, ,songwriting, intelligence, references, double-entendres, metaphors, versatility, subject matter, punchlines, delivery and overall lyrical prowess. Not to mention that he makes much better music. He is far superior to Nas from artistical, conceptual and sonical standpoints. Daydreamin’, Hurt Me Soul and Dumb It Down shit on anything Nas has done this decade. The concept off The Cool ALONE is better than Nas’ best work put together. And Lupe can’t be better because Nas came before him? That might be the stupidest I’ve had the misfortune of reading. SMFH.
The quality of your comments fits your name. Lupe got Nas on ‘intelligence, rhymes, songwriting, references, subject matter’
LOL. Yeah… the dude who just dropped LASERS has the guy who dropped Illmatic/Stillmatic/IWW/Lost Tapes/Godson on all of those categories… and how the fuck do you judge those anyways exactly? All the things you just named illustrate that your praise for Lupe is just as arbitrary and subjective as the Nas stans you ridicule. Far superior from conceptual and sonic standpoints? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT? Nas demonstrated his mastery of concepts through ‘I Gave you power’ while Lupe was dreaming about how he could duplicate the quality of IWW FROM HIS OWN ADMISSION.
The ‘generalizations’ you criticize are based on the fact that the artist you put above Nas WOULD CLEARLY NOT put himself above Nas. In fact, he would call Nas the GOAT in all likelihood. So therefore, the impossible-to-substantiate claim of a moron like yourself that Lupe is better DOESN’T MEAN SHIT. Is that helpful?
LOL; I like Lupe sure, but I hesitate to say he has 1 classic whereas Nas surely has anywhere from 3-4. LOL @ Lupe’s overall music being better; according to your completely shapeless standards maybe, but I will take # of classic CDs anyday over that bullshit
^ Don’t try to rewrite history all the time. Nas will N-E-V-E-R be the GOAT.
Nas’ short coming as a musician puts him out of every serious discussion. He DID dumb down, and he failed, thats why he’s NOT the GOAT and thats mostly why the stans think he is the GOAT. Nas DECIDED to go into the same lane as Biggie & Pac did of ”dumbing down” because his debut bricked. Illmatic came out and he was given the hiphop crown, he didn’t want that he WANTED mainstream & to be an artist he’s NOT & thats the DEFINITION of selling out to me. And once he went into that crossover lane with the coke fairy tales & jumping on the fugee’s wave he played himself & his legacy FOREVER. Because UNLIKE those guys Nas DOESN’T have the ability to master the pop auidience while keeping the hiphop heads satisfied (Yes, this is HUGE quality that a GOAT of any music genre must posses) This is why Ready To Die was critically acclaimed and IWW was panned. We could have never learned of Nas inferiority as an ARTIST. As time passed & Nas continued to fail & Jay-Z told him he had a spark when he started he realized he should stay out that lane. Now that he’s damn near irrelevant you stans want to change history and ignore his short comings compared to other artists, IT’S NOT DOWN TO HIM BEING ”REAL HIPHOP” (!!!) THEY ARE DOWN TO HIM SIMPLY BEING A WEAKER ARTIST and THIS is what I mean by less talented musically and sonically than someone like Lupe.
Re-writing history? What has history revealed about IWW? That it might be Nas’ best album ever in fact genius… perhaps even surpassing Illmatic
LOL at him ‘dumbing down;’ name me one song on IWW that he did that on. NAME JUST ONE. Funny that arguably his biggest single and one of the most outstanding crossover tracks of all time from a lyrical perspective [If I ruled the world] is off that album. NOTHING is diluted about the concepts and lyricism of IWW.
LOL @ not being able to reach the masses while satisfying the heads. Street Dreams, Nas is like, hate me now, ether, one mic, got yourself a gun, made you look, I can etc. etc; what do you call these then? Nothing about these tracks are dumbed down and yet Nas still achieves viability as a commercial artist… how can you argue irrelevance when the dude has 10+ album in 20+ years & more than 20 mil sold as well
Funniest thing though… you criticize Nas’ status as an artist based on a failed attempt to dumb down out while at the same time claiming Lupe as a stronger artist overall… Yeah; THE GUY WHO JUST RELEASED LASERS… THAT GUY… you want to talk about a bullshit dumbed down product… and this dude dedicated a song to this same topic on The Cool too… way to crossover Lupe
‘Ignore his shortcomings compared to other artists’; please like other artists don’t have flaws as well… shit works both ways moron
But I see that you still were unable to challenge my assertion that Nas has multiple classics and Lupe has NO undeniable classics [though F&L is debatable]… Regardless
Illmatic > F&L
IWW > The Cool
I am LIGHT YEARS greater than LASERS

She would make me cool, and we would both rule, forever
And I would never feel pain
And never be without pleasure, ever, again
And if the rain stops, and everything’s dry
She would cry, just so I could drink the tears from her eyes
She’d teach my how to fly, even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall, and I plummet from the sky
But she would keep me high, and if I ever die
She would commission my image on her bosom, to him
Or maybe she’d retire as well
A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell, and I’ll be”
“But you gotta understand our differences is the same
What starts in clouded minds finishes in the rain
Now the fools that are used as instruments in the game
Where oppression is the queen and ignorance is the king
Where revolution is dead–no candles in its memory
No remembrance of it’s fame, just a mystery
No mentioned in the history of the chained, the enemy
No Hennessy sentiments in its name
Just an unmarked grave that menaces have defamed
With the propaganda, and images of the gangs
A lost art, no apprentices in the trained
And they brainwashed, no interest in this thing
Then the minds weary, only adrenaline and a dream
While the wrecking balls is disassembling things
Her highness is the cause, his eminence is to blame
The pride is still here, the privileges still remain”
A few Lupe verses and these niggas say Nas is better. Unbelievable.

I love NAS he still keeping hiphop where you have to listen to the lyrics instead of the beat or the hook. You have to respect that of a true MC. Him, Lupe, Common, Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye ect… The potentials like Drake, Wayne, J Cole, TI, they have the potential to be a true MC but some just chose to do what will get them paid and played instead of the hiphop need to tear the music industry up. Not saying it’s doing bad but it’s misleading, but it’s coming back around to the lyrics like Lupe said. Enough of the Soulja boy and Wacka flocka f*cker. Need Jeezy, Mobb Deep to stay gutta so they can keep that NWA taste in our mouths. New upcoming artist to stay original don’t fall for the okie doke sounds. Peace out
Lupe HAS the most skills. That’s a fact. Listen to his verses on Joaquin Phoenix and tell me this nigga ain’t the best ever when it comes to rapping ability.
funny these little niggas say lupe is better than nas, nas inspired lupe fiasco ( nas escobar) nas is lupes biggest inspiration, so get outta here with that bullshit, there both great artist, you pussys sound like our politicians.
remember ur idol jay had that whack ass song , SUNSHINE, where he had the Hawaiian shirt on , lol beyond whack dat track. p.s nas done take ur bitch b4 or whaa..????
i read all your comments and laugh nas,mobb deep been around longer than any of these other cats,matter of fact they all listened to mobb and nas growing up that includes em,jay and whoever…….i was raised in jamaica,queens,”if i died couldnt choose a better location,getting closer to god in a tight situation”now think these words thru,or the next rhyme i write might be about you………shook ones
Kings of Hip Hop back on their shit… i.. i remember when mobb depp.. heltah skeltah … was doing that gritty hip hop.. ahhh miss the 90’s before puff diddy whteva came out with the shiny suits..
Line for line, NAS IS STILL BEYOND 99% OF HIS PEERS! Killed Eminem on the up and coming Dr Dre Detox, whenever it drops. Also, killed the T.I on the same track and others, KILLED WAYNE ON HIS CURRENLY OUT ALBUM!
Fact over fiction, NAS and TUPAC are still the only rappers that is discussed as a poetry class at HARVARD UNIVERSITY, TOP IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL! What does that say kids, that substance and knowledge cements you as king, not doodoo party rhymes all the time! NAS HAS DROPPED MORE KNOWLEDGE THEN ANY OTHER RAPPER(S). HE IS THE MOST RESPECTED. JUST BECAUSE, YOU CAN’T COMPREHEND AND UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE HIPHOP IS DOESN’T MAKE HIM A BAD RAPPER. HE WOULD SELL MORE IF HE WENT COMMERCIAL LIKE JAY-Z. EVEN KANYE SAYS NAS IS #1 OVER HOV – STUPID!
Kanye mentioned him on his last solo album, first track, “I just a chi-town nig with this nas flow!” Notice he didn’t say “Hov”, it would have fit the same line just as nice! LOOK AT EVERY TOP ILL RAPPER, THEY ALL SAY NICE IS STILL TOP 5-DEAD OR ALIVE! SO GROW THE FREAK UP AND GET ON TO SOME REAL HIP HOP!
Fu>k Harvard. No rapper needs an Ivy league stamp. The streets stamped them along time ago. I was there when NAS and Pac were killing the game. Theses wack Professors need a real job. How can you go to school for over 20 years just to only regurgitate a rappers line. Go get a real PHD in chemistry or economics. Black Prof setting the race back a thousand years
damm hav, tighten up, flow was too lose in the start, but other than that, this is nice, and nas boy, dis nigga is killing shit 4.25 (because of havoc lose flow)
I don’t understand why people make all these comparisons? It’s irrelevant, every rapper has strengths and weaknesses, some release music for different audiences, etc etc. To call one rapper bad is like saying you like oranges and fuck everyone that likes apples can suck a fat one. Rap and Hip-Hop are two completely genres in my book, keep them separate and don’t compare the two as they are separate entities.
Wow. You can tell you listen to garbage rap like Mayback music, b/c you dont hear good. This song is FIIIYYYYAAAAA !!! you crazy dude?? This shyte is gangsta unlike those pop ass rappers.
Now you fu_ck up down on your luck run ya mouth man, so why dont you be a real man and say you need a little help and I might your little as_ off the shelf NAS from the diss song : Dont Body Yourself: to Gunit (mobb deep and 50)> This is so funny that these bummy deep rappers go to NAs for help. Too funny. Nas cant save you guys. First week sales of Black Cocaine are going to be super lowwwww. Nas aint promoting that verse. GO bury yourself. Too funny. The only reason you got a over 4 rating is because of NAs.
Man it feels & sound good to hear Prodigy rapping in his original form again. I’m referring to when he was signed to G-Unit the cat was tryin’ to rap/sound like 50. Nas is the truth.com everytime when he rocks with Mobb Deep! 4 stars plus!
THIS ISN’T AS GAY FRIENDLY AS DRAKE
🙁
lmao
Queensbridge 4 LIFE!!!
NAS My favorite rapper of all time!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
CLASSICCCCCCCCCCC
this shit dope as fuck
still licking shots uh.. grow up, this was cool 10 years ago
so you shittin on him for talkin that gun shit but if they made some pop drake type bullshit rap youd be bitching about that too sayin they sold out. Fuck off nigga
go bump drake, but that shit aint never been hot
Certified BANGER 5 stars no doubt
Ok is they going to do a album together??????????
are they*
CLASSIC QB Flow
fiyah
Black cocaine going to be nice.
HOLY FUCK NASSS GOD DAMN YOU THE GREATEST
NaS is cool but he’s no AZ.
BETTER THAN AZ BITCH NIGGA. BECUZ AZ COULDNT ELEVATE IN THE WAY NAS DID AND SPECIALLY BEEN WITH THE LIKES OF BIGGIE N JAY-Z WHOM ALL CAME OUT ROUND THE SAME TIME WHICH MEANS AZ WASNT DOING SOMETHIN RIGHT…
what u mean nas is cool but not better then AZ? may i remind you has the greatest rap album ever not to mention that he is the greatest lyricist? hes been so consistent, everything he is dropping this year has been fire.
At the above comment, NaS is not the greatest lyricist ever. AZ is a better lyricist and he’s not the greatest lyricist either. However, NaS is a better overall artist. He is quite creative and has a way better catalog then AZ.
bar for bar its debatable and i put az in my top 5. Though he definitely doesnt have the commercial success nas has hes so severely slept on its nuts. But the fact that its even a debate makes az one of the greatest rappers to come along, album sales aside.
Life Is Good Soon in stores I guess
IT Was Written The Greatest Hip hop album ever!
Great album, but come on man, illmatic is insane. I can’t even name the best album ever, theres so many I can make an argument for.
Ilmatic or Reasonable Doubt are the best hip hop albums ever.. ima have to go w/ illmatic because tracks 2-6 are all like top 25 greatest hip hop songs of all time. It Was Written is a classic but not quite there.
this is why i hate hip hop fans. they get emotional and say stupid ass shit that embarrasses the rest of us
It Was Written >>>>>>>>>> Illmatic from a lyrical, conceptual and musical standpoint.
QUEENSBRIDGE forever they always gon have that sound new york
I was about to diss this song but Nas saved it, It was written was garbage to commercial after Illmatic then he came back with that. Mobb Deep, drugs and gunplay these cats been in the game since 93 so they have to be close to 40 and you still on that.
YOU GARBAGE. I WAS WRITTEN WAS ONE OF HIS BEST ALBUMS FOOL ALONG WIT STILLMATIC N ILLMATIC
It Was Written is his second best album….. its not too mainstream. Untitled is his most mainstream album, but the subject matter is real as always.
live that life or just witness it in a housing project & see how it scar you nigga. real shit. People relate
@ Jason; no how no way not a chance is IWW garbage man. That album is a fucking classic for real… see the dudes comment above to know the time… I don’t get why Nas got criticized so hard for being commercial with that one… Pac was killing the charts, BIG was, Nas had illmatic which is like the rap bible but he couldn’t sell a mill out the gate… what did people expect Nas to do? Dude was like 18-19 trying to get out the projects of course he wanted to appeal to a wider audience and sell big like the other rap kings… not a single fucking weak track on IWW
Don’t agree? feel however you want to feel… but IWW can challenge your favorite artist’s best CD anyday
No disrespect but i felt like you until i started listening to the lyrics on It Was Written…ITS DOPE….it’s not illmatc but shit..it’s classic…i think his second best record is THE LOST TAPES
1
The only people who complain about someone being 40 and rapping is a newbie who can’t get into the door. Somehow you feel self entitled and think it must be handed to you. ARE YOU OVER 40 TO TELL THE NEXT ONE HOW TO LIVE, or are you just repeating what someone told you how to live?
Now are you going to Dr Oz it and tell everyone what they should eat for breakfast? And you wonder why you haven’t been passed the torch, you ain’t worthy.
It Was Written >>> Illmatic.
WHATTTTTT……….THIS SHIT CRAZYYYYYY
Why yall always bring up Drake name, thats stalker tendencies. If you wear your pants below your ass that GAY.
HONESTLY MOBB DEEP AND NAS THESE BOYZ SOME RAP PIONEERS CANT WAIT FOR THAT MOBB DEEP ALBUM.. ALWAYS BEEN FAN OF THESE CATZ KEEP SPITTIN AND NAS HE IS IN HIS OWN WORLD. DOPE TRACK !
nice
damn this shit fire, nas slaughtered this track. legend
It Was Written was my favorite album. Alltime favorite album!
It was Written is my fav too.
It Was Written is EASILY the best when it comes to skills.
It was written is my favourite too…People seem to get butt hurt when you say that you like it over illmatic though…illmatic was a lyrical masterpiece though.
fu*k …nas ripped every song this year … qb is back
yo mobb deep is in my top 5 and same for nas nyc hiphop i bleed and breathe that shit and with all do resepct this shit is just not as ill! prodigy flows so slow like he doped up and havoc! nas is rhyming slow and basic to shit he dont even rhyme nomore! ! i mean hey havoc should just be a producer and nas and p should just hang it up there overall body of work is classic! so its nothing for them to prove
It Was Written, Stillmatic, Illmatic, Gods Son, Untitled = His best albums!
Lost Tapes > God’s Son and Untitled
It Was Written >>> all of them.
NEW YORK STAND UP! QUEENS ALL DAY % STARS NO DOUBT! To the youngins give this a listen.. this is that grimey NYC real rap ish.
Yo hell yeah my dude. Youngins learn somethin.
decent
Nas is unstoppable right now, check out that Regeneration video with Premo on worldstarhiphop.com. Nas is the GOAT…Period.
feelin’ this much more than Dogg Shit. Nas took his foot off the pedal on this but still easily outshines the other two. P is slowly coming around.
If they keep it gritty like this then they might have the potential to get the mid 90s sound back.
yes!
this is whats up
Im a huge Mobb fan.. so I am biased.. this is fiyah..
dammmmmn….tough
That beat is sick as shit. Hav’ made that? That’s the type of Mobb shit I been waitin’ for. Fuck usin’ all them other producers.
mobb, keep that circle small and keep making this 90’s , grimey qb #HIPHOP.
QB is the Motown of Hip Hop…love this shit…
okay i read thee comment before i heard the song. Im a nas fan and yall made it sound like he spit the 10 commandments or some shit. it was dope but im sick of you overzealous niggas who dickride everything this nigga says like its gospel. it was dope… but it doesnt warrant the kinds of reactions you niggas are giving it. fuck outta here with that shit. this coming from a die hard nas fan…. yall stay over-selling shit. just say its dope then sit the fuck down.
Word. TRUE fans who supported him since he came onto the scene, CRITICIZE him, because they want him to do better, but nobody needs dickriders that lie to you.
nice
GOD DAMN b. This is hip hop. no jeggings rap over here b.
Is this site for real? this song sucked lol. P and Hav are washed up, havent been nice since…what…Murda Muzik? HINC? Come on, these guys still talkin gun talk?? Been exposed soooo many times….Nas was nice, buuut again…gun talk???
WoW, nice beat and Nas bodied the track..seriously one of the most consistent..im more glad that grown men can just squash shit and make good music. now..how about a 50 and nas track for 2012?
Dog u a cornball for those comments….this shit fire Nigga
this is mobb deep here! man i’m glad they’re patching it up with their qb brethren

Yo im feeling the track. Black Cocaine has already leaked

This aint even that hot. I’ll be more eager to listen when I hear better Mobb verses, maybe it’s just this track.
I’m lookin forward for the new Nas.
its aight
This is nasty… beat dope, lyrics dope
Only pussy’s can’t feel this….5/5
love this shit, real rap, real niggas, new york standup yeahhh
Nas is nice on this. The beat’s aight. Mobb’s verses are pretty boring and so is the track overall. I was hoping for fire.
Yeah, sounds about right. Cosign

^ nigga just accept he doesnt agree with you and move on. he doesnt have to defend his life principles to you

` Mobb Sleep is back…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Same ol Same old from Hav.. Lyricaly it wasnt whack just predictable MOBB dun talk.
However It was refreshing to hear Nas on his gully shit cause he aint been on that tip in a minute.
Nas bodied that verse.
I wanna hear that 90’s Prodigy rhyming along Nas on Beast mode again.
Yeah the beat is just aight. Not to down Hav cause he been outrhyming P these last few times around.
Still look forward to that projectt
This shit PyroTechnic son! Fire shit….u not feeling this? thats straight……U call this wack? u hating, period.
5 Star Generals
Nasir… the best to eva do it! fukc you if you disagree!!
wow, tight beat and some crazy lyricists on this, welcome back (5/5)
word is bond yoo, nas on a serious tip has just about bodied and slaughtered every track this year he is definitely top 3 and once life is good drops he will take the crown as the greatest of all time if not already.
if rick ross spit that exact nas verse yall would call him fake. but when nas does it you say “good to see nas on his gully shit”. smh hiphopcrisy.
that’s true there’s definitely a double standard among these hip hop “purists”. the golden commandments they always preach about only seem to apply to the rappers they personally dislike. but when nas does it he’s the GOAT. hmmmmm
hes rappin about qb and what its like, not about how many people hes bodied how many bricks hes sold how hes got all of miami on lock with cocaine hes not pretending to be the real rick ross like rick ross does and nas is much more lyrical. hes a ghetto poet he like a reporter he doesnt pertend like he about it like the ex corrections officer rick ross so theres a huge diff. nas is a legend and rick ross is shit under his shoe
@JJ cosign fully borther nas always spit that lyrical intelligience, hes intellectual with the vivid pictures he creates, you feel as if your in queensbridge, unlike these other fake rappers.
@JJ that’s the weakest argument you could have made.
i was hoping someone would give a real response but the truth is there is definitely no difference in content between ross and these other rappers including nas. I could name you countless albums and songs where nas talks about catching bodies and dealing drugs and mob life and killing people and mad criminal activity that he never did. 2pac even went at dude for that. your argument’s weak.
@JJ when ross does it he’s being fake when nas does it you call it “ghetto poetry” and “news reporting”. come on man you cant be serious. its almost embarrassing now how you make lame excuses for rappers you like but then condemn rappers you dislike for the exact same shit. nas makes a song like shootemup and you call it ghetto news reporting. ross makes a song like bmf and you call him a fraud. get the fuck outta here man. I’m sick of how you niggas are shameless about your hypocrisy.
CO-SIGN!!! People ALWAYS have double standards when it comes to Nas, no matter what he does, he gets a pass for everything.
The fact is that nas is telling stories of the world…Did he really kill himself, his wife and the guy fucking her after he caught his wife in bed? No he didn’t. He just uses particular stories as concepts. With rick Ross he actually is bragging about what he supposedly does. Nas tells a story and includes it. Plus nas is lightyeara ahead of Ross lyrically…his analogies alone set him apart from Ross. He is a thug narrator…he says it himself.
we’re not talking about nas story tracks. we’re talking about half his catalogue where he’s catching mad bodies shootin up churches and being a super drug lord. he even called himself escobard for a few years come on fam. stop making excuses for this nigga. ross got some real ass tracks just like nas does. listen to “tears of joy”. but they both do “gangster rap”. but for some odd reason its never an issue when nas does it..
You mean you can’t tell the difference between a highly poetic rapper from the hood and a former correctional officer? Are you sure this Hip Hop stuff is for you?
lol that’s actually true there’s definitely a double standard among these hip hop “purists”. the golden commandments they always preach about only seem to apply to the niggas they dislike.
5 stars easy.
Haven’t heard Mobb Deep in the longest this hook is horrible tho but that was a great Nas verse……………….
CHECK OUT THE MUSIC
http://soundcloud.com/inevitable-success/sets/taste-of-success
Mehh, I wasn’t really feelin’ the song. Mobb Deep ain’t been hot for a while. And NaS has dropped some classics, but this isn’t one of them.
I agree, there is a bit of a double-standard when it comes to NaS. IMO, he’s made 3 great albums (Illmatic, Stillmatic, and God’s Son) and the rest have been mediocre to downright awful.
Nas can tear it up at a live show (seen him twice) but I think most of his stuff lately has been garbage.
Lyrics in this song are pretty raw, but the delivery kinda sucks, and I don’t like the beat. I’m not a hater, just telling it like I feel it.
It was written was in my opinion his strongest album…shame on you for calling it mediocre. Four classics and yea nastradamus was bad and I am wasn’t much better but undying love was one of the most detailed stories and steers disciple, untitled and the lost tapes were good albums. What let’s him down is his beat selection.
prodigy has fallin the fuck off…
This is ok, nothing spectacular…Rick Ross is wack, he has nothing to do with this conversation and he, unlike Nas is a COMPLETE liar!!!
here we go
all these backpackin Naz bandwangers jumpin on this track automatically
Drake > Naz (right now)
Drake is a comet, Nas is a star, ain’t no comparison
no
MEH!!!!!!!!
this is some average crap
Yay Prodigy sounding half-dead again. Thank god Havoc and Nas can pull his weight.
sad, but true
honestly if 2pac was still alive, these Mobb deep clowns would be working at KFC
but tupac has been dead. for about 15 years now. so let it go. and yeah…this is back to form for mobb deep; which is alittle above average. Nas did the best but not his best….but yeah this is a solid 6.75 outta 10 at best.
So sick of people dick riding Nas.
Every single song he’s ever rapped on doesn’t deserve 5 stars. This one is one of those songs.
Just want to make this clear, I don’t hate Nas but fuck, not everything he’s on is a classic by default.
repect tha gawd
He does have some classic hits. In my opinion not everything (everything means all his tracks) he did is deemed classic, but you gotta respect MOST his work is dope.
Exactly. This ain’t Nas’ homepage or some shit like that. Any true fan is aware of the fact that this verse was nothing more than average.
Nas has nothing but fake fans on this site.
Mobb Deep have fabricated their gangsta lifestyle. Before they became rappers they were not hustlers, killers etc. Although Prodigy has now a criminal record for smoking weed and carrying a gun But that doesnt make him a gangsta.
Nas used to call himself Nas Escobar named after famous druglord Pablo Escobar. Nas is a pussy who never was a hustler or whatever.
My POINT Nas and MOBB DEEP are as fake as Rick ROss
no thats his name dumbass
@ anonymous
you are dumbass. keep listening to fake ass thugs claiming to be gangstas.
Never heard Nas spit about pushing keys of coke lol. this studio thug
”A lame with a drug dealer’s name” – Cormega.
Yo, they call me Nas, I’m not your legal type of fella
Moet drinkin, marijuana smokin street dweller
who’s always on the corner, rollin up blessed
When I dress, it’s never nuttin less than Guess
Cold be walkin with a bop and my hat turned back
Love committin sins and my friends sell crack
This nigga raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
I’m like scarface sniffin cocain, clutchin the m 16.
how you settle beef with a rose, and his funeral send him a family a reef that expose.
You gonna start hating on nas now?
I could do this day nigga. you have no defense. just admit that nas is guilty of the same things ross is. everybody knows, but everybody ignores it. nas in my top 5 and ross has crazy potential. I just hate it when niggas put pointless standards on one rapper but not another just cause they hate it.
*wreath that explodes
muito bom rap neste blok nas boy
its a gud tune nd nas isnt bad in it
sick beat,sick rhymes…first time in a while that nas’s verse didnt come out on top, he’s had best verse in the last few guest appearances ive heard of late…
SICK
Again some fake ass gangsta wannabe’s with no streetcredibility. lol the cocaine ep
dog most people your ass listens to are fake ass gangstas…i love you people think you know whose real and whose fake like how the fuck do you know who is doin what and whose street and whose not haha too funny you people think you know so much about shit
Again some hardcore rhymes by Prodigy. But im not impressed. Isnt Prodigy not the rapper who was beat the fuck up by:
– 2pac
– true life
-keith murray
– saigon
Always acting tough but in real life a bitch!
Nope, Prodigy had fights with Saigon and Keith. Saigon punched him and ran, as for Keith he said he beat up P. True life and Pac have never fought with P
That dickriding for Nas is going to make him overrated in the future. It’s the worst thing you can do as a true fan. People read his name and vote 5 before they listen. You guys are lying to yourselves.
exactly, and if lil wayne or drake drop a song, most ppl jump on there and vote 1 star even if they havnt heard it yet
so nas is overrated? haha wow youre an idiot…this eli dude stfu go listen to loli pop or how to love you fuckin homo real hip hop over hear none of that radio fuckin garbage go listen to young money a bunch of bitches who done even write their own rhymes nas is one of the greatest period dont like him then why the fuck you listening to this shit
Other rappers talk about money and violence, it’s fake and not Hip Hop. Nas does it, it’s cool and makes him the greatest.
phil you totally missed the point. agree 100% with nate. this is from a die hard nas fan. wtf does this have to do with young money phil. obsessed much?
lol @phil, im not a lil wyane fan i just think he is overhated on this site, and nas is a great rapper but his fans are elitists
nas is goat
Went in.
nas + mobb deep = best eastcoast collab / 5stars
qboroooooooooooo
You niggas ever hear of gangsta rap? Why do you niggas only call ross fake for talking that mob shit when thousands of rappers including nas do the same shit.. Its called gangster rap, why do you think they call it that? do you think any of these rappers are real gangster. do you think nas caught mad bodies and done mad robberies and kidnappies and drug dealin? Yall sound ridiculous sometimes im sorry but its true.
didnt pac make an entire album dissing nas for his fake life? “You seen too many movies… you live in fantasies niggas”
Not only Pac, but also Cormega and others who were around at that time called him out on that fake shit.
Yo, yo Nas. Big and Pac didn’t like you man
So get off they dick please man
This is Ice and Cormega man
Comin’ for you, faggot!!
A nigga named Nas think he live like me
Now its on ’till he R.I.P, the odds might be
Against me, you real, convince me, I think you a bitch
Nasty Nas all ya life you praised me
Your daughter might be Jay Z’s
Illmatic was real cause you was tryin’ to portray me
Matter of fact, time for Sony to pay me
For “Life’s a bitch, God forbid the bitch divorce me”
“Street Dreems”, and every other rhyme you got off me
yo..this song was realesed after pac died…but 3 days before he was shut in vegas..pac and nas meat in central park, and they made peace, pac told suge and snoop, that the minute he gets back to la, he is going to erase the shit he recorded about nas, couse nas is a real nigga’ and they can change the world togheter..go see suge night and snoop interviews over this..
^ pac and nas made peace but all that other shit you said is not true. pac never planned on erasing the record. he told nas about it and that was the courtesy he gave him… but that record wasnt only about nas, he was never going to erase it. and they made peace because nas bowed down as pac would say. he made half a dozen disses to nas dissing him not just on makaveli. everything he said about nas was true whether they made peace or not.
you don’t know your history…go search suge knith interview about this ..he says word what pac said about eraseing bad shit about nas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=G_eTV744zqM) and about the other shit you’re sayin ..snoop said that nas was the real gangster in the central park meeting because he had 100 armed hommies with him there an he could have pac snoop and the dogg poud killed but he didn;t..and thats gangsta (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NCCBzQ-mM_w) …. glad to bring you knowlage
raw…………! just rating this a five , so the haters can go jump off a cliff or something.., actually a 4star .
Haters? I see none. Ever thought that they might be true fans that know he’s capable of much more and want him to do best?
Nobody needs fake fans.
Stop Hating!
Nas used the name “Escobar” while Pablo Escobar was already dead… like Daz, Dillinger, Capone, Noreaga etc. Not like officer Ricky, while Freeway Rick is still alive…
Stop it. The excuses are getting more and more ridiculous with any following post.
Fuck you, you Clown
so you can only steal from a drug king pin after they die then its ok? lol…… that was by far the worst reasoning i;ve read so far. my god.
“you can only fabricate your life and steal their persona after they die. that’s completely different” LOL!
yea this nigga just grasping at straws.
funny thing is if anything ross is doing it the right way because he went to court and won for the use of that name. so them other niggas you’re false flagging for actually are more fraudulent.
Stop bitching…
That’s part of Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap…
Why all the hate because of a name? Didn’t you get enough love from your mama when you were a kid or is your penis too small???
Are you hating about others, too? About Scarface? Godfather Pt 3? Un Pacino? …because of the names?? Fuck the name, listen to the music you cunt
It Was Written >>> Illmatic.
Nas was in his absolute prime on IWW.
Nowhere on his later albums did he come close to this lyrical and conceptual masterpiece.
^^
agreed. Best lyrical album ever.
Whooooop Nas 5 *’s
Nas is the best rapper ever. He got the best legacy. Look at Illmatic, its ranked as THE greatest album ever and thats not even my favorite album by Nas….. THATS Crazy!
Sorry to say that, but Illmatic is nowhere near close to being the greatest album of all time. 9 tracks, one of them being whack. He got some of the best producers of all time in their primes and had heat for 8 tracks. That’s not enough. Everyone would’ve dropped a classic if he had those producers behind him. There were other albums around that time that had TWICE the amount of Illmatic WHILE maintaining the same level of quality for the whole LP. It’s not even Nas’ best album.
^^^ Anonymous; you are a fucking moron. Illmatic is widely regarded as the best hip hop album of all time. Everybody knows that seriously. Now if you don’t think so thats fine, but to even suggest that it is not even close? FAIL. What track on Illmatic is wack? OR EVEN IN THE REALM OF BEING WACK? This might be the most blatantly retarded thing I have read on this site
LOL @ ‘if so and so got those producers the album would have been as good or better’. MISERABLE FUCKING FAIL. Yeah and if Nas had Kanye/Just Blaze/Timbaland doing all his production like Jay every album he dropped would be a classic. WOULD HAVE COULD HAVE SHOULD HAVE = absolute bullshit.
Other albums that had twice the amount of Illmatic? You realize you are using the standard that Illmatic set for lyricism to critize the album itself right? And what album at that time had the same level of ‘Illmatic’ that Illmatic had genius? COLOSSAL FUCKING FAIL
Illmatic not Nas’ best album? Well you might be onto something, matter of fact IWW is my favorite. But Lost Tapes is right there with the both of them. To have three albums of that classic calibre warrants top 3 placement all time for Nas without a doubt though. CALL THIS ONE A SUCCESS
ONE
Solid, one of the better tracks they’ve put out latley and Nas did his thing.
song is tight, 4 stars.
this shit niiiiice. beat is sick.
Beat is banging, lyrics are on pointt.
Mobb Deep keep it 100. Nas is always so clear on the mic
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQbHvPjcBw
Damn! Justin Bieber has more rapping skills than Nas.
Haha, he sounds like a younger version of Crooked I.
Em is 10x better than nas
jay is 10x better than nas
Nas=horrible flow, no witty lines, no punchlines, no complex rhymes, poor wordsmith…Just simple lyrics and overrate him as hell.
And for those calling illmatic GOAT, u are very stupid. How does a 9 track album translate to GOAT ? when rappers like 2pac and biggie release double cd’s as 1 album. Em constantly release 17-20 tracks classic. which great song is on illmatic ? Stan is cultural milestone(even nas uses the word stan). 99 problems was a milestone as well. which memorable song is on illmatic?
i love nas, but damn, the nigga is overrated !
O_o???
That’s All I Will Say
you start off saying horrible flow, no wit or punch lines, and a poor wordsmith. then you end with saying you love nas.
dont fucking talk shit on one g.o.a.t. and then say oh no i love him. make up your mind you indecisive bitch
i think nas is way overrated as well. Most of his lines are mediocre, but his stans make big deal out of it.
nas stands for something greater than jay and nas, you dumb little pussys dont know shit, and i aint even a big nas fan but eminem has gone weak and so has jay so for you to make them 10x better than nas is girl reaction, emotional.
@ anonymous
You say Nas has no witty lines? Dude just said “No clip in your Glock,you ain’t prepared to fire/You call that ridin’ with no air in your tire?” Come again?
If you call that witty, how do you rate a guy like Crooked I who drops about 20 lines like this and far better and more complex ones on a freestyle?
Em/Jay>>>>>>>>>>Nas. Period. Em and Jay at 20% speed are both better than Nas at his prime. Stay Wide awake off relapse(One of Ems Weakest album) is better than about every track/song Nas has/had/have ever written in his career !!!
If you can’t hear that Jay and Em are far superior to Nas in every aspect of rapping, you have to be fucking retarded. Both of them shit all over Nas when it comes to skills.
The flow and rhyming on Lose Yourself makes One Mic sound like a piece of garbage.
Hovi Baby is better than Nas’ best work.
KOOL G RAP >>> NAS.
LIVE OR LET DIE >>> ILLMATIC.
nas is the last true ghetto story teller in the truest sense. it is his ability to make you visualize life in tha hood that makes him great
Keep trying faggot, u gon meet ur idol Nas eventually, when u do, dnt do dem gay shit arnd him though if u dnt want to get smacked the fuck by Jungle or Budha.
You don’t know much about this hip hop stuff do you. “Witty lines”- you a Lil Wayne fan right. You can’t possible understand the idea of painting the picture of a block within a couple of bars and taking you through it. No pyrotechnics, no gimmicks, just taking you through it.
If you want cheap one-liners go pick up the drake album, the real shit is not for you.
QB
Nicely produced. It just doesn’t go up to the hype of The Infamous. NaS did well though. He still got his classic tone
WHAT CLASSIC….Biggie must be your boy that album is not even good. We put blinders on when it come to our favorite artist, Chronic classic, Death Certificate classic, Amerikkka most wanted classic, Redman first 3 albums classic, The most beautifulist thing in the world classic, krs one krs one classic, Ass cash or gas (k-dee)classic,only built for a cuban linx classic, its many many more but life after death is not one.
^^^hahhaha jason got glaucoma
who really gives a fuck about all your comments… Nas is dope. period.. pac was overated as well.. and biggy even more..
biggy dropped one album…….. and thats it.. you cant compare him to pac who released an album every year.. who know biggy might have fell of his seconf album…. he was already on that corny puffy shit.. anyway fuck all rappers i hate them but i love hiphop. the majority of rappers are what is wrong with hip hip.
I stopped reading after “Biggie dropped one album.” You are an idiot…
would you call life afterdeath an album????. half of that shit was old and remixed.. you dumb fuck.. you probally think born again was an album also..
Pac realeased an album every year? What u talkin bout? Oh you mean the ones with the same lyrics with different beats and remixes…ok.
some people have totally no knowledge about hiphop. Life after death is a fuckin classic. All the flows and styles biggie dropped. sharp lyrics etc. go listen to drake you faggot
lol u stupid faggot gtfo
classic Nas and Mobb deep,Nas killed it thou ,dope beat
They on that NECK SHIT!ICE PICK ONE 99
SIX SHIT!
It’s the same “anonymous” goof that goes bashing Nas on every single page he’s on. Such a fucking lame. Go e-stalk someone else if you ain’t digging his music.
Nas and Mobb deep have fabricated their gangsta lifestyles and have never lived it.
Nas was acting in 96/97 like a mafiadon and did steal the name Escobar from famous druglord Pablo Escobar
Its time to expose the fakeones like nas, mobb deep and rick ross
long time mobb fan this new mobb shit is WACK. worst prodigy shit ever havoc fell all the way off with the beats and the beats they got evoke no feeling. picked some boring ALC beats. This shit is garbage. Sound tired. Big names who all lost it.
damn G first off nas is one of the most gifted nicest creative versatile, lyrical, conscience artist with great word play as far as havoc he did said a pretty good verse but he has & can do better ofcourse the same with prodigy i feel mob can do alittle better than what they doing now when coming to the verse cause there verses on there oldest classic track are hot & they need to return back to that especially prodigy
Gyot Danm Nas!!!
Nas G.O.A.T Haters do your history…real hiphop here…Haters will hate.
Nas….GOAT
Stop hate on Nas. He is the greatest ever
Nas is your favorite, favorite rapper!
I think you were going for your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper…
Whoever said they like jay and em>nasir like pop music not HIP HOP.
em and jay are POP MUSIC!
NAS IS HIP HOP!
You think 12 year old little girls have a nas or mobb deep cd. hell no!
but they damn sure got 3 each of em and jay.
don’t get it twisted homie.
NAS IS NOT THE GOAT. I THINK REAKWON IS BETTER HIM.
outta here! i like rae and all, but i liked obfcl-I 50% because of rza and the other wu-produers, 25% cuz of all the wu appearances and 5-10% because of NAS, who had 1 on the dopest verses on the whole album!
go listen to all the other garbage rae albums not named obfcl I/II; and i’m from va.
you niggas think youre god not everybody gotta agree with your opinions deal with it.
FUCK Y’ALL I’M THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE BITCHES!! GOING AT IT FOR 28 YEARS MAD UNDERRATED CHECK MY SHIT OUT NIGGA
fire
matter fact havoc did his thing on that track the beat is real good i like it , havoc put in a nice verse havoc put a better verse than prodigy as far as prodigy he put in a good verse but not better than havoc on this one, but i believe prodigy already have & could do better on delivering the verse for this track & as far as NAS i’ll forever love him cause he prove to be naturally talented & hope he keep it like that !
Nice track….
Bars: Havoc XL,Prodigy M, NAS XL
Beat: XL
Music: L
Truthfully there is no G.O.A.T everybody like who they like. I would say you people have gotten real emotional over the years yall type in all caps like bitches screaming at each other. Since Nas copy Rakim style I can say Rakim is the G.O.A.T, but there is no G.O.A.T. For sure its not LL Cool J.
Not bad. P/Hav stay getting shown up by Nas every time they throw down, and Nas didn’t even rip it that hard… few things though
a) Dudes digging Nas for being ‘fake’
Just stop. If you guys base your opinion of a rapper based on the veracity of the shit he claims then you are FUCKING MORONS. People have claimed Nas didn’t bust guns, sell drugs whatever and maybe they’re right. And Nas has claimed and alluded to doing that sure. But most of the time he raps from the perspective of an OBSERVER, so that doesn’t diminish the truth of his storytelling [cept on songs like shoot em up etc.]. But every rapper is bullshitting and if you fucks haven’t learned that by now than I feel sorry for you. So if you are going to say Nas isn’t real, that criticism needs to be leveled at your favorite rapper. And besides, how the fuck do you know if something is true or not? Were you there? No. And as far as Rick Ross, dude may have been a CO but he gets THE MOST BANGING BEATS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW… act like his shit isn’t hot really you guys know you feel it… fraudulent or not. The MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. And with Nas, he changes his concepts, subject matter all the time… is he ‘fake’ when he raps about shit that has nothing to do with the street life too? GTFOH
b) Nas stans
Look I am one too truthfully, but don’t call shit like this classic because it’s just not and you dudes know this. Nas has, though, been on fire this year for real. I am not sure I have heard a verse this whole year better than his part on carter IV. But I digress. Don’t rate because of an artist’s name before you even hear the track… come on now
c) Em/Jay stans
I hear people claiming Nas stans are the worse, but don’t act like Em/Jay stans don’t overrate the mediocre shit they have put out lately. I am sorry but WTT/BP3 were wack as hell and you Jay stans still call that shit nice. Matter of fact, Jay hasn’t done shit since Black Album. And Em, he hasn’t fallen like Jay but Recovery and Relapse were nothing special.
Just my 2 cents though… don’t like it? EAT A DICK
co-sign everything
Cosignee @ u fucking hit d nail on d head
That was a well thought-out comment. I agree but ‘Nasty’ was as sick as that Carter verse too. Nas is beasting this year…
Now that’s the MOBB DEEP I’m used to hearing!!!
niggas is high thier eyes be red as two brake lights.
u call that riding with no air in ur tire.
how is nas overrated
We come from where murders occur often on late nights
Niggas is high and they eyes be red as 2 brakelights
Medical marijuana, Henny bottles, and Grey Goose
Semis and shottys on deck, everybodys face screwed
But you know this already, my hood the coldest and deadly
Soldiers is ready, I am boastful, forgive me
Bitches talking to cops cry when they nigga get washed
Beef coulda been squashed, go finish that shit that you start
No clip in your Glock, you aint prepared to fire
We call that riding with no air in your tire
Youre flattened, its a pattern after scrapping
What usually happen, death on arrival
Survival of the fittest, aint nothing like that Queensbridge shit
Yall niggas finished, your only chances are diminished
And we dont need no f-cking witness
Aint what you know, its what you live and we live it
Damn, he’s so far ahead of P and Havoc now, it’s unfair.
fuckin ill track, nas bodied it deserves atleast a 4.8
High as 2 brake lights? That was Cannibus line in Buckingham Palace.
That’s not the only line Nas took from other rapppers, he also used a Drake line on Nasty.
It Was Bitten would be more accurate.
he did nt bite canibus. i also heard bus say illmatic on the same verse
I understand why they say music is influential, try listening to Murder music Piffed up, it makes you want to go body somebody.
Good track.
Take It In Blood might be the best Nas track of all time.
it is
never tht i’d be listening to what i used to call hiphop again. real talk NAS!!!!
Esco in beast mode this year…..!
nas keep getting features and more dough…so u can keep that child support coming..hahahahahahaha.
lolZZZ
this aint a classic but it’s exacally what I need in my life
literally cant stop listening to this…

this is fuckingg dopeee nas killed it
“niggaz is high, they eyes be reddish like two break lights”?
that’s a Canibus line on Buckingham Palace, “marijuana makes my eyes bright red like brake lights”
eyes red as brake lights is a common analogy. canibus start that comparison so stfu!!!
^^^u mean canibus did nt start it.
Nas still got it..he always on point and gets better and better each feature he does.can’t wait til his next album..Untitled was great..as 4 mobb deep i feel sorry 4 them they haven’t dropped anything good since 1999.Prodigy had that hot HNIC solo album in 2000 after that there were done..but this track is banging tho.even if Prodigy & Havoc’s pen game has fallen off
Nas & em are the best rappers right now hov is a dad soon to be he needs to fall back kanye is wack “”…..

Shut up!
Pathetic Black Cocaine pure gimmick hiphop. Mobb deep aint hot since murda muzik.
http://www.reverbnation.com/bigfoot1989 < - for anyone looking for beats and music for artists
NOW THIS IS FIRE
nas is the g.o.a.t no doubt
1. The man proclaims to be a speaker for the black youth and a new age revolutionary with his lyrics, yet has made a number of trashy hip pop songs which are the same thing he claims to detest. Hova sums it up with this line –
Is it “Oochie Wally Wally” or is it “One Mic”?
Is it “Black Girl Lost” or “shorty owe you for ice”?
2. Once claimed that “queens nigg*z run you, ask russel simmons” in reference to Rocafella’s bosses. Is now under Jay-Z’s creative reign and wing at Def Jam.
3. Watched his wife Carmen have sex with his enemy and then go sell her affair to the media. Watched her write a book containing intimate details involving nas and revealing embarassing details about his sexual relevance. Nas’s daughter will one day read this material
4. His bodyguard came with a better flow on Oochie Wally.
5. Never succesfully put one of his artists into the game, ****ed up the bravehearts his “closest” homies careers and that of an actually talented individuals in Quan & AZ.
6. Has never succesfully breached the buisness side of rap music, with label failure after failure and the cancellation of a recent reality show with his wife Kelis due to a lack of interest by the public.
7. Jay has Beyonce, Nas has Kelis. Nas lost
8. Tony Yayo’s debut album sold more then Hip Hop Is Dead.
9. Didnt make The Firm a success despite 90% of production from Dr. Dre and a crew comprised of Cormega, Foxxy Brown, Nature and AZ.
10. Everybody deep down knows that Reasonable Doubt is a better album then Illmatic, but will not admit it.
11. Released the most dissapointing double album in hip hop history
12. Had unresolved beef with Tupac and Biggie, two of hip hops most important figures.
13. AI smashed
14. He smashed Mary J. Blige’s old ass.
15. Rakim was tot busy in a Juelz Santana video to go to his own unauthorized biography shoot for Nas.
@whack….what does any of that have to do with his flow? Jigga signed him because he felt threatened. Nas killed Jigga on Success and Black Republicans.
@coolstory
Thats a good one… Nas killed Jay on Black Republicans and Success. Get the fuck outta here son. They both bodied those tracks. And Jay never had to sign Nas. He only did it to end the beef. Besides, having Nas under HIS label makes him look better. You Nas stans never give a break do you.
That being said, Nas is definitely one of the best still.
@whack
Damn, does NaS owe you money? You sound like a disgruntled NaS hater for real. I mean, you’re still tripping off the Oochie Wally shit? That chapter was closed YEARS ago. Between you and Nas, I bet I know who sleeps well at night…smh
#10 is bullshit
I think Whack is really Kelis….
@Whack – Damn dude you’re a bitch ass nigga – most of your so called facts are not even relevant anymore. You hangin on to stuff thats like 10 years ago then on top of that their half truths. Stop it my dude, you’re embarrassing yourself.
#10 is the truth
Unless tony yayo went platnum he didnt sell more then hip hop is dead 764,000 is the totally of albums sold till 2008. & tony yayo debuted at 2. nas #1 with more sales. sorry your facts are fake
REAL RAP RIGHT HERE… SH*T MAD OFFICIAL!!!
niiiiiiiiiiice….. takin e back to the good days..
nas= king of hip hop, hes been killin everything he jumps on/ puts out.
nas is definately past his prime… he cant even touch lupe now
Lupe has always been better. Food & Liquor and The Cool destroy everything Nas ever did besides Illmatic.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! LUPE IS JUST A RELIGIOUS NUT JOB AND PEOPLE THINK HES THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME? SERIOUSLY?
NAS WOULD FLAME GRILL HIS ASS LIKE HE WORKED IN BURGER KING… LUPE STANS ARE THE FUNNIEST THEY ALL STUPID AS FUCK, HE HASNT EVEN GOT A CLASSIC ALBUM… WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE BEST RAP ALBUMS THEY DONT MENTION LUPE… ILLMATIC IS ONE OF THE FIRST ALBUMS EVERY RAP FAN SAYS AND LUPE IS BETTER HAHA FUCK OUT OF HERE
HOW CAN LUPE BE BETTER WHEN HE SAID HE STUDIED NAS’S IT WAS WRITTEN TO MAKE HIS FOOD AND LIQUOR ALBUM …come on doag dont be ignorant
Lupe’s hot but dude made 3 albums(1 wasnt even good), nas made bout 10 plus albums…
Lupe lyrically might get Nas but Album wise Nas made 3 classics and Lupe has no classics so Nas wins the debate but far as lyrically go Wu-Tang and Lupe are some of the best to do it!!!!!!!!!
is this guy dumb to even classify lupe in the same category as nas? Nas is lightyears ahead of lupe, nas fathered lupe, and LYRICALLY? YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKIN WITH ME, nas shits on everyone lyrically.
Nas dickriders and cocksuckers coming out of their holes again. SMH @ these pathetic fags having the need to defend him on every single occasion. LOL @ you worthless fucks living trough him via this site because you have no other place where you bastards can cheer your idol without getting laughed at. Nas has 10 albums, but the great majoirty of them are mediocre or even garbage. Lupe >>> Nas. There’s NO skill Nas is better at. LMAO @ them writing the same generalizations over and over again, just repeating what they heard everywhere else to fit in. Putting status and name over actual music quality is the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard. Lupe got him on rhymes, double-entendres, coherency, ,songwriting, intelligence, references, double-entendres, metaphors, versatility, subject matter, punchlines, delivery and overall lyrical prowess. Not to mention that he makes much better music. He is far superior to Nas from artistical, conceptual and sonical standpoints. Daydreamin’, Hurt Me Soul and Dumb It Down shit on anything Nas has done this decade. The concept off The Cool ALONE is better than Nas’ best work put together. And Lupe can’t be better because Nas came before him? That might be the stupidest I’ve had the misfortune of reading. SMFH.
@ Whack
The quality of your comments fits your name. Lupe got Nas on ‘intelligence, rhymes, songwriting, references, subject matter’
LOL. Yeah… the dude who just dropped LASERS has the guy who dropped Illmatic/Stillmatic/IWW/Lost Tapes/Godson on all of those categories… and how the fuck do you judge those anyways exactly? All the things you just named illustrate that your praise for Lupe is just as arbitrary and subjective as the Nas stans you ridicule. Far superior from conceptual and sonic standpoints? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT? Nas demonstrated his mastery of concepts through ‘I Gave you power’ while Lupe was dreaming about how he could duplicate the quality of IWW FROM HIS OWN ADMISSION.
The ‘generalizations’ you criticize are based on the fact that the artist you put above Nas WOULD CLEARLY NOT put himself above Nas. In fact, he would call Nas the GOAT in all likelihood. So therefore, the impossible-to-substantiate claim of a moron like yourself that Lupe is better DOESN’T MEAN SHIT. Is that helpful?
LOL; I like Lupe sure, but I hesitate to say he has 1 classic whereas Nas surely has anywhere from 3-4. LOL @ Lupe’s overall music being better; according to your completely shapeless standards maybe, but I will take # of classic CDs anyday over that bullshit
^ Don’t try to rewrite history all the time. Nas will N-E-V-E-R be the GOAT.
Nas’ short coming as a musician puts him out of every serious discussion. He DID dumb down, and he failed, thats why he’s NOT the GOAT and thats mostly why the stans think he is the GOAT. Nas DECIDED to go into the same lane as Biggie & Pac did of ”dumbing down” because his debut bricked. Illmatic came out and he was given the hiphop crown, he didn’t want that he WANTED mainstream & to be an artist he’s NOT & thats the DEFINITION of selling out to me. And once he went into that crossover lane with the coke fairy tales & jumping on the fugee’s wave he played himself & his legacy FOREVER. Because UNLIKE those guys Nas DOESN’T have the ability to master the pop auidience while keeping the hiphop heads satisfied (Yes, this is HUGE quality that a GOAT of any music genre must posses) This is why Ready To Die was critically acclaimed and IWW was panned. We could have never learned of Nas inferiority as an ARTIST. As time passed & Nas continued to fail & Jay-Z told him he had a spark when he started he realized he should stay out that lane. Now that he’s damn near irrelevant you stans want to change history and ignore his short comings compared to other artists, IT’S NOT DOWN TO HIM BEING ”REAL HIPHOP” (!!!) THEY ARE DOWN TO HIM SIMPLY BEING A WEAKER ARTIST and THIS is what I mean by less talented musically and sonically than someone like Lupe.
^^^^^
Re-writing history? What has history revealed about IWW? That it might be Nas’ best album ever in fact genius… perhaps even surpassing Illmatic
LOL at him ‘dumbing down;’ name me one song on IWW that he did that on. NAME JUST ONE. Funny that arguably his biggest single and one of the most outstanding crossover tracks of all time from a lyrical perspective [If I ruled the world] is off that album. NOTHING is diluted about the concepts and lyricism of IWW.
LOL @ not being able to reach the masses while satisfying the heads. Street Dreams, Nas is like, hate me now, ether, one mic, got yourself a gun, made you look, I can etc. etc; what do you call these then? Nothing about these tracks are dumbed down and yet Nas still achieves viability as a commercial artist… how can you argue irrelevance when the dude has 10+ album in 20+ years & more than 20 mil sold as well
Funniest thing though… you criticize Nas’ status as an artist based on a failed attempt to dumb down out while at the same time claiming Lupe as a stronger artist overall… Yeah; THE GUY WHO JUST RELEASED LASERS… THAT GUY… you want to talk about a bullshit dumbed down product… and this dude dedicated a song to this same topic on The Cool too… way to crossover Lupe
‘Ignore his shortcomings compared to other artists’; please like other artists don’t have flaws as well… shit works both ways moron
But I see that you still were unable to challenge my assertion that Nas has multiple classics and Lupe has NO undeniable classics [though F&L is debatable]… Regardless
Illmatic > F&L
IWW > The Cool
I am LIGHT YEARS greater than LASERS

And if the rain stops, and everything’s dry
She would cry, just so I could drink the tears from her eyes
She’d teach my how to fly, even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall, and I plummet from the sky
But she would keep me high, and if I ever die
She would commission my image on her bosom, to him
Or maybe she’d retire as well
A match made in Heaven set the fires in Hell, and I’ll be”
“But you gotta understand our differences is the same
What starts in clouded minds finishes in the rain
Now the fools that are used as instruments in the game
Where oppression is the queen and ignorance is the king
Where revolution is dead–no candles in its memory
No remembrance of it’s fame, just a mystery
No mentioned in the history of the chained, the enemy
No Hennessy sentiments in its name
Just an unmarked grave that menaces have defamed
With the propaganda, and images of the gangs
A lost art, no apprentices in the trained
And they brainwashed, no interest in this thing
Then the minds weary, only adrenaline and a dream
While the wrecking balls is disassembling things
Her highness is the cause, his eminence is to blame
The pride is still here, the privileges still remain”
A few Lupe verses and these niggas say Nas is better. Unbelievable.
^^^^^ LOL Lupe; this B-side Nas remix trumps any of those verses listed, not to mention just about every verse Lupe ever wrote
‘Low profile
Rap style slick as Nu Nile
Give the crew pounds
Every time we cover new ground
Still surviving but theres a few now
back in the essence
I’m asking questions on the phone with jail adolescents
Quiet confessions
The systems applying the pressure
My mind is guessing
Is living and dying a lesson
But not to be obliged with the mirage
of cars taking me off track
From the gods focus so hard
Laid up smoking cigars motioning maids
To bring me toast and eggs kosher
Ice chokas and wolves to smoke ya
My wisdom culture lives in ultra madness
Devoted coach-bag bitch
Broke the average niggas hope to get mad rich
But whats the purpose
Only the gods could watch the earth twist
I’m physically trapped here on the surface
With all the crack merchants, snakes, and serpents
Foul jakes that search us
Clowns with four pounds this aint a circus
ONE
BEAT NICE.. PRODIGY AND NAS ARE STILL NICE FOR THEY AGE
i Could see the Chef on this track
chef would and ghostface wuld tear this shyt up
fire!!
Nas = goat

If you ninjas got basic cpu skills and not retarded and want to make money TODAY. Shoot me an email at MarcusZNZ1@gmail.com, ill walk you through it all.
GRIMEY RAP IS THE BEST… FUCK ALL YOU WET PUSSY ASS FAGGOTS
OFFICIAL. Nobody does grime better than Hav & P. Nas is just a plus.
I love NAS he still keeping hiphop where you have to listen to the lyrics instead of the beat or the hook. You have to respect that of a true MC. Him, Lupe, Common, Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye ect… The potentials like Drake, Wayne, J Cole, TI, they have the potential to be a true MC but some just chose to do what will get them paid and played instead of the hiphop need to tear the music industry up. Not saying it’s doing bad but it’s misleading, but it’s coming back around to the lyrics like Lupe said. Enough of the Soulja boy and Wacka flocka f*cker. Need Jeezy, Mobb Deep to stay gutta so they can keep that NWA taste in our mouths. New upcoming artist to stay original don’t fall for the okie doke sounds. Peace out
Shit is hard.
Wu-Tang vs Common and Lupe!!Who wins the battle??????????
Id say common & lupe
Any Wu MC >> Lupe
Any Wu MC expect for U-God & Masta Killa >> Common
common is crap idc wat nobody say. all that soft afrodisicac bullshyt is wack. be was a good album thats it. nobody can fuk wit wu n my opinon.
Lupe HAS the most skills. That’s a fact. Listen to his verses on Joaquin Phoenix and tell me this nigga ain’t the best ever when it comes to rapping ability.
nasty nas is top of the game, been droppin nothin but firee!!
this ep is actually pretty good. mobb deep keep making music man, ill support it.
funny these little niggas say lupe is better than nas, nas inspired lupe fiasco ( nas escobar) nas is lupes biggest inspiration, so get outta here with that bullshit, there both great artist, you pussys sound like our politicians.
can someone inject prodigy with some child testoterone to get his voice back to the infamous…doesn’t even sound the same anymore
@whack
remember ur idol jay had that whack ass song , SUNSHINE, where he had the Hawaiian shirt on , lol beyond whack dat track. p.s nas done take ur bitch b4 or whaa..????
I can’t stop banging this – had this in the whip this weekend…. bangs hard in the trunk speakers.
HAVOC’s verse is underrated on this!
Nas …nasty as always!!
This made my pipi hard.
FUCK THIS SHIT! EARLY CHRISTMAS!!!! LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!..HAHAHA, BOUT TO HAVE A SEIZURE!!!
why cant i keep liking this song??? lol
i read all your comments and laugh nas,mobb deep been around longer than any of these other cats,matter of fact they all listened to mobb and nas growing up that includes em,jay and whoever…….i was raised in jamaica,queens,”if i died couldnt choose a better location,getting closer to god in a tight situation”now think these words thru,or the next rhyme i write might be about you………shook ones
Mobb DEEEP
Kings of Hip Hop back on their shit… i.. i remember when mobb depp.. heltah skeltah … was doing that gritty hip hop.. ahhh miss the 90’s before puff diddy whteva came out with the shiny suits..
yup this chick knows her music
Line for line, NAS IS STILL BEYOND 99% OF HIS PEERS! Killed Eminem on the up and coming Dr Dre Detox, whenever it drops. Also, killed the T.I on the same track and others, KILLED WAYNE ON HIS CURRENLY OUT ALBUM!
Fact over fiction, NAS and TUPAC are still the only rappers that is discussed as a poetry class at HARVARD UNIVERSITY, TOP IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL! What does that say kids, that substance and knowledge cements you as king, not doodoo party rhymes all the time! NAS HAS DROPPED MORE KNOWLEDGE THEN ANY OTHER RAPPER(S). HE IS THE MOST RESPECTED. JUST BECAUSE, YOU CAN’T COMPREHEND AND UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE HIPHOP IS DOESN’T MAKE HIM A BAD RAPPER. HE WOULD SELL MORE IF HE WENT COMMERCIAL LIKE JAY-Z. EVEN KANYE SAYS NAS IS #1 OVER HOV – STUPID!
Kanye mentioned him on his last solo album, first track, “I just a chi-town nig with this nas flow!” Notice he didn’t say “Hov”, it would have fit the same line just as nice! LOOK AT EVERY TOP ILL RAPPER, THEY ALL SAY NICE IS STILL TOP 5-DEAD OR ALIVE! SO GROW THE FREAK UP AND GET ON TO SOME REAL HIP HOP!
Your biased asshole does’t know shit about HipHop. Don’t try to cover it up.
Fu>k Harvard. No rapper needs an Ivy league stamp. The streets stamped them along time ago. I was there when NAS and Pac were killing the game. Theses wack Professors need a real job. How can you go to school for over 20 years just to only regurgitate a rappers line. Go get a real PHD in chemistry or economics. Black Prof setting the race back a thousand years
Nas murders this
damm hav, tighten up, flow was too lose in the start, but other than that, this is nice, and nas boy, dis nigga is killing shit 4.25 (because of havoc lose flow)
disagree…
Hav was hardered than P on this –
That’s why he got the first verse!!
hav had the best verse on here hater
Nas and Havoc is crasy. Kings of QB
Prodigy Queen of BK
what u mean by queen of bk
Prodigy is from Brooklyn lol
Jay-Z is the King over there
”I got more shooters in Queensbrdige than you”
Lol
Great Track.
Dope
this shit HARD fuk young money i hope they go bankrupt!! p is my nigga!!!
Damn dis shyt iz hard!!! check us out on youtube type in BLACKLAWREBELMUSIC
you are a faggot, die
I don’t understand why people make all these comparisons? It’s irrelevant, every rapper has strengths and weaknesses, some release music for different audiences, etc etc. To call one rapper bad is like saying you like oranges and fuck everyone that likes apples can suck a fat one. Rap and Hip-Hop are two completely genres in my book, keep them separate and don’t compare the two as they are separate entities.
Rap is a sub-genre of hip-hop. Get shit straight before you come out your mouth.
You bount to get a banga when this kind of collabo is in the works..
I don’t think Prodigy listens to the music at all. He used to be so on point too. This song needs more work and more energy.
Wow. You can tell you listen to garbage rap like Mayback music, b/c you dont hear good. This song is FIIIYYYYAAAAA !!! you crazy dude?? This shyte is gangsta unlike those pop ass rappers.
shits dope as fuck Wowwwwww.. put drake j cole and some other new style soft ass shit on here. amen
this is dope nas slaughtered it
Mobb Deep been dope but i thought the beat would have been a little bit better its kinda bland but the verses hold it up.
Finally…..a beat that doesn’t save the artist…
The beat was made to have an artist shine more so than the record…
dope as fuck.
beat is crazy
Now you fu_ck up down on your luck run ya mouth man, so why dont you be a real man and say you need a little help and I might your little as_ off the shelf NAS from the diss song : Dont Body Yourself: to Gunit (mobb deep and 50)> This is so funny that these bummy deep rappers go to NAs for help. Too funny. Nas cant save you guys. First week sales of Black Cocaine are going to be super lowwwww. Nas aint promoting that verse. GO bury yourself. Too funny. The only reason you got a over 4 rating is because of NAs.
Nas is just amazing, complex or direct flow such as this he always murders it….for real!
YES
damn nas killed dat…yo check us out on youtube just search in BLACKLAWREBELMUSIC show us luv give us sum feedback!!!
THEY’RE BACK!!!! YES
yup
DAMN NAS IS SUCH A GREAT ARTIST ON ANOTHER LEVEL FOR SURE!!!
I’ve been waiting for the Realness to return. I can listen to this all day.
that “eyes red as 2 brake lights” line is inspired by Canibus on ‘Buckingham Palace”…”marijuana makes my eyes red like break lights”
you dont know that
How do you know? Everyone didn’t listen to Bis back then…
mgruppe.com
this is the shit.
Man it feels & sound good to hear Prodigy rapping in his original form again. I’m referring to when he was signed to G-Unit the cat was tryin’ to rap/sound like 50. Nas is the truth.com everytime when he rocks with Mobb Deep! 4 stars plus!
At last! I’m running out to get the album tomorrow
It kinda sounds like they’ve sampled Jean Michel Jarre on this track
damn…
nice
what a beat
this shit is the hott shit the mobb is on there grinde as havoc said beat so ugly had to put a mask on it
mobb deep cant wait to hear there full album this is some real shit hardcore mobb deep forever
Straight fire
