Nas one of the GOAT.

lol….he topped wayne in his what..lil waynes 6th week or sumtin…lmao

i would consider Hero to be a smash hit cause that shit slapped…

but that’s just my opinion

keep it coming nas!

Finally someone beat wayne and i knew it was going to be nas to do it

Hell Yeah and G-unit only did like 107,000 on their first week.. It just goes to show that people buy Good music without all the media hype.. If you dont have this album go cop it, If you do.. Track 13 it.. Ya’ll My Niggas..

took lil wayne from number one 50 couldn’t do that. what goes around comes around 50 said he will never be number one again and 50 didn’t even make number one. sucess is the number one get back.

nas deserves it

whateva look how long it took…. wayne out sold dude in one day what he did in a week… i have made respect for the boy nas but come on, if you a real fan you cant respect that as a win over weezy. that still a lost really in my book. but congrats to dude its hard to even get those numbers these dayz.

fuck that im buyin more nas albums next week

Congrats to Nas, damn only if he sold more but oh well. I think this album might not go platinum though.

G.O.A.T.

cop that shit twice

That’s why almost everyone still mentions him as one of the top five m.c.‘s – he’s nice, period.

Finally someone who deserves it, props Nas, Hip-Hop aint dead no more fellas, Nas gave dat bitch mouth to mouth and shes back!

Album wuz hot, Nas is dat nigga

i hope Nas get’s a plaque though because he deserve to atleast go gold i was hoping he’d do more than 187,000 but i’m happy for him though yea i mean shit Plies did 243,000 or something like that so Nas deserves more sales than fucking Plies

the albums a classic. go cop that shit and listen to some GOOD music, hollaaaaaaaa

im by no means a lil wayne stan or a nas fanatic but they’re both in my personal top 5… nas definitely has the better finished product..not to say that I’m not still bumpin tracks off the C3… but Untitled is a bonafide classic. DUDE KILLED the performance on Colbert Report!!! that shit was hilarious and awesome at the same time. UNTITLED!!!

tight work by Nas….Cd is fire

Well Hip Hop isnt Dead but Album Sales for hip hop are. If Lil Wayne sells over a million copies the first week with a medicore cd overshadowed by great beats and Nas sells less than 1/5 of that with another Classic album something is wrong.

untitled is defenitley a classic he spits fire on every song i suggest everyone cop it 1, 2, 3, and 13 are my favorite tracks off it REAL RECOGNIZE REAL SO GO OUT AND BUY THE REAL AKA NAS

Why are so many people dick riding on wayne even 50 said he could of sold that many with t.o.s. if he pushed it back for 10 months and that cd is fucking garbage your dumb to say weezy is better then the “N” untitled is a better cd then the carter 3 and why like someone who says he is a blood bought himself into the gang and throws shots at the crips on a record and some crips stole that d00d tyga’s shit for that so dwayne carter is garbage he would still be saying drop drop drop like its hot without gillie da kid so get off that mans nut sack already

im glad the people came out and supported the nas joint. he does it 4 the people. we got 2 support real hiphop. we cant even compare the wayne album 2 the nas album. weezy is offically a pop artist, just like kanye. u cant sell over a milli in your first week unless white kids luv u. white kids cant understand nas’ message or mission.

No talent your funny son that nigga nice nas is nasty he’s the greatest to me honestly but that’s my opinion just like niggas think jay the best or biggie but just cause I feel nas the best don’t make me hate on there top rapper its just there opinion everybody is not suppose to like the same people but hip-hop not dead cause wayne sold more than nas it just means no one wonts to hear what he has to say that’s all but yall niggas delirious if u denying that little niggas talent but I’ve never been a hater.

For real, thats good, nice numbers! Props to Nas, but I dont get one thing…G-Unit sells 100k first week (a group album always sell less) and they need to quit, because G-Unit is dead…And Nas, as a solo artist, with SO much atention in media because of that album name, nigger, sells 180k, and he dont need to quit? Im just sain it is strange

i’m white… and i hate wayne, jada nas and jr writer are my fav rappers so shut that shit up driverboy stop stereotypin.

Yeah, if you a racist, black or white, you arent anything, and then opinion does not even count…Then you just nobody…

I really think they be titling these articles just trying to get a bunch of hits or some attention…“Nas tops Wayne” I mean seriously, I hope he would, Wayne been out over 5-6 weeks already and this is NAS we talking bout right, supposedly light years better than Wayne to half tha people on this site, and for as many people to keep saying Carter 3 was trash it’s funny he keeps selling as much as most people do when they FIRST drop even with all tha downloading…

then tha dude who wrote tha article gon make a half-a** statement like without a smash single or club banger Nas hits tha top, all I’m saying is if you are going to post an article shouldn’t you have to be impartial and leave tha comment section to being biased or opinionated…Oh and I guess NAS was silent tha whole time till his drop date while he was making videos and getting in government and polticians a**es…anyways SMH. Nas did his thing and that’s all this post should’ve been about, it seem like everybody wanna be MTV these days with adding drama to ish

2 fingers

exactly it ain’t race. i could be white, and come from something that i can completely relate to nas and his material, and ironically i do and this rap shit is not just a passion to me it’s an analogy for personal experiences within myself. so fuck all the wayne stans, if it wasn’t for cheap downloads, and leaks, and all this money money money, and everyone copped albums again NAS WOULD BE DRAGGIN THAT ASS AROUND on the charts, so get ya’lls shit straight.

damn ya’ll be downloading?? dis album should of sold more

Where in this interview does it say anything about Wayne? Just like I say with anything else..With all y’all haters these niggaz don’t need any street teams or none of that shit..You bitch niggaz are free advertisement for all the niggaz you hate on..Some niggaz wouldn’t care to know who some of these rappers are if you bitch ass niggaz didn’t talk so fucking much..Just like Jay said “Niggaz acting like bitches with big mouths”…Fuck is wrong with you metrosexual azz feminine acting and dressing fuckbwoys..Why in the fuck do y’all niggaz think Soulja Boy sold damn near a million cd’s? Fuck niggaz like y’all concentrating on who you don’t like more than who you like..Stupid azz niggaz need to realize just bc you living in negativity don’t mean you have to let it control how you carry yourself…That’s what’s wrong with niggaz and that’s why we have never have shit good to say about each other..

Just judge the music and move on..Fuck all that comparison shit because truth be told 3 Stacks, which is who Wayne is really trying to rap like will run circles around Nas..Yep, I said it..Both of them have a way with words, but Dre is a better storyteller and he actually makes sense..He don’t name drop his choice of fashion or cars it’s all about making a point and giving some real insight..Nas will give a song a title much the same as he does with his cd’s and the lyrics don’t have shit to do with the title..I will say this is one of his best bodies of work..Let’s see if he sticks around to fight the battle or will get his money and run and hide like he normally does until it’s time for the next cd to drop..

By the way, he and any other black person that is so quick to support Obama is a damn fool..Stop being idiots and letting these people sell you on color when this mufucka is the complete opposite of black..Look at his new commercials and show me where he’s shaking a black person hand or sitting at our tables in our homes discussing anything with us..He ain’t..He told y’all Tom’ing ass niggaz that him and his cracka friends ain’t going to be the blame for your issues even though there’s irrefutable evidence showing that they have contributed tremendously to the problems that affect our communities..We’ll stand beside a no-good Tom like that who spent the majority of his life as a white man and is letting these crackaz use him as a tool to distance us from our real leaders..Don’t forget who he cousins with..Don’t forget who brought him in and Don’t forget who that person hangs with now..Once Obama gets in that’s 28 years straight that the Bush family has had a piece of the presidency..Y’all niggaz better realize this ain’t connect 4 it’s chess and what they want y’all to see and what it actually is..Oh yea, this punk ass nigga is talking about picking up a white male Republican on top of all that..If y’all niggaz don’t see what’s happening something is definitely wrong..After they knew the father wouldn’t win his last term they sent their lil pimp Democrat homebwoy Clinton in who was cool enough to sway the black folks while he pulled the wool over our eyes..The son came in next and gangster’ed his way in both times..Now the pimp Democrat that Clinton had giving his going out speech is next in line and he happens to be Bush and Cheney cousin..GTFOH

Black folks are just like a lost ho waiting on the next pimp to come along and spit some game that they can believe in…Fuck all the bullshit and learn the game for yourself so that if you chose to ho it’ll be for yourself..Stop being Tom’s and believing in these crackaz and what nigga they pimping over your real niggaz..That’s where we fucked up with MLK Jr. and all them cats..Integration was just a way for the upper middle class citizens to keep their identity..Where would the sellouts be in a world where the white people didn’t deal with them and the black folks who they turned their backs on didn’t either..So, again fall back and peep game..It’s easy to see who letting the puppetmaster control their moves..I’m riding with Jesse Jackson, Tavis Smiley and Rev. Jeremiah Wright..After he get in i’m going to post my own " I told y’all dumb niggaz blog" on a weekly basis …

But for real, if Eminem comes with a album, he outsell lil wayne ass allday!

its only a big deal becuz its wayne if it was any other rapper it wouldnt be this much hype
and wayne shit was leaked which still hurted is sells
nas’s wasnt

BUT IM HAPPY FOR BOTH GUYS
MOST OF ALL HIP HOP

I FUCKS WITH NAS HE IS THE GOAT

I believe Nas’ biggest accomplishment with this album was the fact he went off on just about the entire album about the topic that many believed to be just a publicity stunt.

Hip-Hop

And let this be known, album sales say and mean alot, but at the same time dont mean shit. (Not explaining that. I have to talk that out and it would still take to long to explain that) Check the comments on the post and pick up on context clues. Just wanted to throw that out there.

all that n-word controversy paid. nas is my nigga. im glad he on top of the charts. it proves that you dont have to be idiot (most of todays rappers) to top the charts.

I TOLD YALL THEM NASIR-KNIGHTS WOULD GET PISSED AT ME & ATTACK.. BUT DONT WORRY I GOT EM’ JUST LIKE WAYNE HAS WAYNE HAS HIP-HOP..LMAO

SINCE ITS TO MANY OF YOU TO RESPOND TO, IMA JUST GET THE TOP 3 NAS DICKRIDERS
THE LINE UP OF WELL KNOWN NASIR-KNIGHTS:

#3- DJ D-MOB: JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IM NOT MAD ABOUT NAS TAKING LIL’ WAYNES #1 SPOT BECAUSE WAYNE HAS HAD IT FOR 6 WEEKS LETS SEE HOW LONG NAS HAS IT!!

#2 RealTalkNewYork: LET ME START BY SAYING WTF ARE YOU TALKING BOUT? HOW COULD I START BEEF OVER THE INTERNET SHOWS HOW hood(FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD) YOU ARE YOU MUST NOT HAVE ANY CLUE OF WHUT BEEF IS.. AND ANOTHER THING IM NOT WHITE’ IM A BLACK MALE THAT LIVES IN HOUSTON TEXAS LOOK IT UP WE FAR FROM THE SUBURBS BUT IM WORKING ON GETTIN TO THOSE SUBURBS YOU TALKING ABOUT.. AND LAST THING WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME ABOUT ALL OF THESE CLASSIC JOINTS WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING I SAID AND I WILL ADMIT NAS IS A LEGEND PERIOD..BUT IM NOT A HARDCORE LISTNER OF HIM ONLY BECAUSE I CANT RELATE.. I RELATE MORE TO WAYNE MAYBE BECAUSE HE COME FROM THE SOUTH OR MAYBE CUZ WE BOTH LIKE TO SIP SYRUP IDK EITHER WAY I CAN RELATE TO MORE SHIT HE SAYS THEN NAS… SO STFU CUZ YOU DONT KNOW ME AND I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING TO OR ABOUT YOU.. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMENTED ABOUT THOSE COMMENTS SHOWS THAT YOUR NOT A REAL DUDE THAT CAN RESPECT ANOTHER MANS OPINION

AND FINNALLY #1- raiseup: I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR COMING FROM AND LET ME DROP A FEW FACTS MYSELF AND SHUT YOU THE HELL UP.. THE MAIN BASIS OF YOUR COMMENT WAS TO TALK ABOUT EMINEMS ALBUM SALES FIRST OFF EM’ IS NOT NAS AND I DIDNT SAY EM’ COULDNT OUTSELL WAYNE BUT SINCE YOU TOOK IT THERE LET ME TAKE IT FARTHER. FIRST OFF EMINEM IS WHITE AND THERE WAS NOBODY IN HIP-HOP LIKE HIM SO WHITE KIDS IMMEDEATLY BOUGHT HIS ALBUMS PLUS DRE. WAS BACKING HIM SO HE HAD A FEW BLACK PEOPLE.. NOW TELL ME THIS WHEN EM’ SOLD THAT MUCH 1999- 2001 WAS THERE AN INTERNET CRISIS WITH BOOTLEGGING AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AND WAS HIS ALBUM LEAKED FOR FREE DOWNLOADING 2 TIMES AND THEN LEAKED AGAIN THE WEEK BEFORE HIS ALBUM DROPPED?? I’LL ANSWER NOOO INSTEAD EM’ HAD THE BIGGEST PUBLICITY IN AMERICA BECAUSE WAS THE FIRST WHITE GUY TO TALK ABOUT “NIGGA SHIT”.. NOW I AINT TRYING TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM EM’ BUT HOW COULD YOU EVEN COMPARE THOSE SELLS TO WAYNE SELLS THATS LIKE COMPARING USHERS NEW CD TO THRILLER.. BUT MY POINT IS THAT IT IS A WAY DIFFERENT TIME YOU WILL PROBLY NEVER SEE WHAT WAYNE AND KAYNE DID FROM ANY ONE ELSE IN AWHILE LET ALONE EMINEM.. SO THINK BEFORE YOU TALK..
SOOO WITH THAT SAID IM OUT

VOTE OBAMA OR DIE

Ok, this is real talk right here (Read the whole post, dont trash me immediately) : If 50 dont sell more or close to Nas, hip-hop is dead. And why is that : 50 is one of the most selling artist, and if he sells 180k, then he go from first week last year, 700k or something, to 180k. Imagine in 2 years, DAMN! everyone be downloading, and artist going to stop, that shit would be awful, all buy album, stop downloadin!

straight up, 190 K first week is a dissapointment…

some of u niggas on nas nuts on DS and didnt buy the CD….thats a shame!

LOL. People miss the point. This is why Nas goes over so many people’s heads.

First off Nas congrats on 5th #1 album. And thanks for another TRUE Hip-Hop classic.

Second…to say Nas album sales is a disappointment is totally idiotic. T.O.S. albums sales…NOW THAT’S a disappointment. Plies Albums sales are a disappointment.

Consider: Outside of the strength of a ONE mixtape (Not 100 for you Wayne stans), His name, and the albums name: he DID NOT have any significant marketing that most rappers have. No incredible number of guess appearences, no mainstream video, a barely played single, a barely aired commercial, and few plublicity.

Yet…he claims the #1 spot. INCREDIBLE.

Keep in mind according to MTV he’s not even one of the hottest MC’s in the game.

Best Rapper alive he is though…

This is what a classic sounds like. This is what an ALBUM sounds like. Not a mixtape that you decide to sale at retail stores (which is what most albums sound like now. INCLUDING the Carter 3).

180k A pathetic?

Naaaah…This is what happens when you don’t “Dumb down your audience and double your dollar”

But please…Bash Nas. He doesn’t care. He loves it.

Hip Hop is Dead!
Be A Nigger Too!

Peace!

Fuck tha carter 3 its all hype but its cold garbage… Nas is were its at… KEEP REAL HIP HOP ALIVE

LIL WHO?

lol @ Defsounds. why no picture of the total sales like when Wayne first dropped? or like when you were makin a point of how many TOS DIDN’T
sell?
fact: cause it’s embarassing. you can’t push Nas down our throats. it’s not gonna happen. he’s overrated. he’s Michelle Obama with a bigger forum. TRASHED shrug he tries makes us feel like we’re part of something special. yeah, pointing out the fact of bein called a nigger for decades makes us feel soooo special. the only ppl diggin Nas’ shit anymore are the old ass Black Panters that are still around and these young fools who think it’s ok to be racist. FACT.

and all you softies that are usin this angle to make yourselves feel better about Nas not even comin close to Wayne’s sales… it’s ok, i understand… your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper sold a Milli the first week.

“Nas’ new album, which was stripped of its epithetastic title in the months leading up to its release, took the No. 1 spot on this week’s album charts, selling 187,000 copies in its first week out.”
FLOP

ayo young apex you gota be the number one lil wayne dick rider since scoop. nas single dropped what….a week before the album…maybe a lil more than a week….then besides the name of the album which was almost nigger did you hear anything from it? nah! and to mention almost half his shit DID get leaked…..fried chicken…be a nigger to….slave and the master….like me…..hero….sly fox….! then when did lil stain drop his single….like 2 months before the album…..with commercials and all dat shit….get dat hip pop shit outa here nas didnt even try and he took number 1 lil wayne tried his ass off and he finally got a nice selling album BUT it was wack as fuck! so you can hate all you want but the turth hurts huh young apex..Nas gotachu! Thank God for real hiphop!

yeah fuck sales the album is hot end of story

Thats exactly where it should be on the charts #1!!!! and it should stay there too.

@ raiseup..this article mentions wayne

This album is def. a classic though..i got it second day and i didn’t waste my money at all

yea nigga REAL HIP HOP triumphs once again
fuck dat LOLLIPOP bullshit n learn how to BE A NIGGER TOO

Why does Wayne name have to be in this article?
Why didn’t it say Nas outsold TOS? This is just another “slick” Hate article.

I’ve never seen so much disrespect in Hip Hop before. Obviously most of these Hip Hop websites come from the same place and uses the same formula.

Emienm N Dr. Dre is gone tops nasty nas album

Nas flopped just like T.O.S Nas only sold 80,000 more than G-Unit, and T.O.S is better than Nas shit str8 up and how is Nas #1 if he only sold 80,000 more than G-Unit i don’t get it but T.O.S is da best CD this year so far

Sales doesn’t mean the material is bad. There’s always this give & take between making great music & making it commercial to sell records.

Honestly people now want that dumb down bullshit that rappers are spittin’. I’m not a big fan of either but I’m a fan of hip hop. As far as sales Wayne shits on Nas. As far as quality Nas shits on Wayne. People are just blind to what hip hop is. Nas album is what hip hop is. Creative and Lyrically a masterpiece. Waynes album good but mostly the beats were good he just was saying anything over them. “Untitled” a classic!

big up nas!! a tru vet in da game… imma fan of lil wayne but lets be honest,
the carter 3 iz weak when compared 2 the carter 2!!! an as far as tha best rapper.. if makaveli was still breathin most of deez fake g’z wouldn’t be shit!!!

1. Stillmatic
2. Untitled
3. Illmatic

Fucking amazing album from QB’s finest.

1. Stillmatic
2. Untitled
3. Illmatic

Fucking amazing album from QB’s finest.

I think something that will always amaze me with tha people on this site is if NAS’s album blew out tha water like 1million yall would be saying see NAS tha greatest, period, see he sold a mil without tha hype Wayne has and blah blah blah, but since his album doesn’t rock tha charts it’s, “Man FU** album sales, they don’t mean nothing” I think it’s hilarious…I mean make your minds up do they matter or don’t they…

Now on tha other hand, I’ve been saying that this is tha downloading age for about a year now, and trying to get people to stop bring up album sales because this ain’t 1995, they don’t mean anything…it’s all preference Wayne has a huge buzz so people bought tha album, hell I know for a fact a few of my old psych and econ professors at my old college, as I go back and say hi, that tell me they bought tha album just to hear and see what was so exciting about this artist their students are always talking about. Some of tha psych profs are amazed and plus I think for tha simple fact he a psych major some of them weren’t hating it too much, and you gotta remember this a private college so we talking majority older white Profs over 40, with a few younger ones, but majority you feel me and whether or not they thought tha album was garbage they still bought it…So understand people are going to buy things to hear tha buzz…people did tha same thing with NAS’s album with all tha drama around it but his buzz and appeal isn’t as large as Wayne’s, whether it’s right or wrong it just isn’t, so we just simply have to take album sales out of tha equation because their are too many variables nowadays and tha largest one is that computer…you better believe those millions of red, blue, orange, and puple outlined “No Limit” cd’s wouldn’t have done no numbers like that in 2008 believe that…with tha exception of “Ghetto Dope” because that album was fire, I won’t lie, when I was in middle school I used to bump it, but I ain’t no much about real music at that time and was on that “Make’em say uhh, nuh na na na naa” like many other kids…haha, I mean it was a basketball video with Shaq; I know I just took a lot of yall back with that one…

2 fingers

yall shud slo ya roll 4 real.. wHEN NAS FIRST CAME OUT HE CHANGED THA GAME THERE WOULD BE NO LIL WAYNE IF IT WASN’T NAS

i think nas said it best: “Do I mean it like a slave master? NI**ER! No! I’m gangsta Gotta eat rappers!” love the album got it first day, and its good to See a powerful word(hip hop) driven album number one..props to NaS!

He did it wit out da single, throughout all the controversy, and no title?…my dude still went number 1!!! Truely a great…jus great. Learn it.


ReDef.

the dissapointing thing about all this is some of you dumb fucks are still stuck listening to your lolipop song, and ain’t trying to listen what the homie nas is kicking in your ears…lil wayne is aiight..fuck album sales…that’s not why i listen to music… if your shit is good it will be bought,,ready to die bought it like ten times, kept losing it makaveli bought it 5 times kept losing it i will never buy the carter twice or once for that matter shit is garbage.!!!!

^lol.

cop dat album, classic. NIGGER or Untitled. Whateva u wanna call it, i dont give a fuck jus but it. fuck weezy. da real niggaz are back

and whoeva act stupid, check da billboard charts

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Albums&f=Top+R%26B%2FHip-Hop+Albums

i gotta give it to nas that nigger shit is tight. i’m not really a fan of his that much these days but he’s definitely on some other shit. it’s some conscious shit, but not corny and preachy like some of that shit be. and it’s fucked up he ain’t gonna sell like wayne did, cause this is some shit “niggers” need to hear!

Why is there negative comments about Nas and saying racist shit if you say that the Nas album is great and you diss another race you destroy the whole purpose that Nas has created for the Album you just showed how ignorant you are and racist those fake ass hip hop kids that like to dress with there dunks and where all the hip hop clothes thats who bought all those wayne cd’s and the ladies also so dont compare The Nas fan core compared to the wayne cause wayne appeals to pop kids so just let it be and you can go to youtube and type in 40 glocc and see how much of a bitch wayne is you’ll know its him cause the bodyguard from the a milli video is right there so go do that go cop the nas album and next month is the release of the AZ Album N4L do out the 12th I think or the 5th and just support real hip hop and go buy all of cormegas albums also

LOOOOOL@NAS FLOPPIN HIS ALBUM TITLE COULDNT SAVE HIM

Glad to see Nas grab that number 1 spot. I copped the album and I thought he deserved 2 sell more. However, what this article fails to mention is that Wayne pushed 105k in his sixth week. The boy is about to skate past double platinum, and depending on what the lable chooses as singles, he could possibly do triple.

Watch this… watch how many haters I get ..

Lil Wayne is my favorite rapper

nigger is a classic

since when did album sales mean anything about skills? i guess nelly might need to be put up in some of your top 5 then. is wayne even hip hop or hip pop?

Finally, Nas trying to bring back real hip hop.

yeah that is true
that nigga 50 kld sold wayy more if he wld of pushed the release date back 10 months like wayne lmao

everyone in hear talking bout nas is the shit make sure you go buy his album im sick of niggas downloading the niggas wit real talents album n then talkin like they bought it im def gona grab one this week n everyone that buys this album is a step in the right direction for hip hop/rap….n new dblock album next month support real music or soon it will b gone n alls ull have is soulja boy n lil mama!

n to all u lil wayne stans use r probly to young to no about nas alls i gota say is listen to illmatic possibly the best cd ever u cant even compare wayne to nas

In the P.J.‘s, my blend tape plays, bullets are strays
Young bitches is grazed each block is like a maze
full of black rats trapped, plus the Island is packed
From what I hear in all the stories when my peoples come back, black
I’m livin where the nights is jet black
The fiends fight to get crack I just max, I dream I can sit back
and lamp like Capone, with drug scripts sewn
Or the legal luxury life, rings flooded with stones, homes
I got so many rhymes I don’t think I’m too sane
Life is parallel to Hell but I must maintain
and be prosperous, though we live dangerous
cops could just arrest me, blamin us, we’re held like hostages
It’s only right that I was born to use mics
and the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes
I’m takin rappers to a new plateau, through rap slow
My rhymin is a vitamin, held without a capsule
The smooth criminal on beat breaks
Never put me in your box if your shit eats tapes
The city never sleeps, full of villians and creeps
That’s where I learned to do my hustle had to scuffle with freaks
I’ma addict for sneakers, twenties of buddah and bitches with beepers
In the streets I can greet ya, about blunts I teach ya
Inhale deep like the words of my breath
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times
Nothing’s equivalent, to the new york state of mind

man these lil wayne fans make me fuckin sick. i can’t understand why people think he’s the fuckin GOAT, the kid is far from it.

nas is the truth, and will always be on top. whether he’s sellin the most albums or not.

In this state of hip hop, mainstream music runs it. Wayne had that lil lollipop shit n that one song carried his whole album…Nas didnt have a snap song or club banger n dude still number one…..album sales dnt make an artist hot….its just a movement n wayne is leading it. Once the real came out u see what happened…NAS numba one n he only sold like 10% of the amount of waynes.

OK, I’m sensing tha trash monster before I even get to tha next line in my comment so allow me to take a moment……….Okay I just need to get this out, and people won’t answer to this but it’s more about people just thinking about it…How many people on this site actually finished from a mentionable college?, ie; not Junior College or random local school, not hating, but this ain’t a sport website so going to a nationally ranked Junco ain’t applicable, lol, BUT why does this even matter?

Well, I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sometimes it gets so annoying hearing people talk about lyricism and they prolly got below a C or lower in their English class; and this is real talk here. Everybody be screaming lyrics and this person really spits real, and they drop knowledge, but your favorite rappers either went to school or are going back to school, or at least trying; at least tha ones you claim to be so LYRICALLY BLESSED, so tell me how it is you really know what is so lyrical or word schematic and you don’t even have your knowledge up; Is it tha connection of tha lifestyle or what, I really just wanna know what makes people so damn warranted to tell others what is lyrical and what isn’t. That’s like telling an artist his painting is crap because he painted with his fingers oppose to a fine brush, it might not move you, BUT WHAT IF IT MOVES SOMEONE ELSE. I’m bored so I was just wondering, and if you don’t reply at least it’s something to think about….

2 finger

HIP HOP LIVES

Word up to the thacahhter putting brain cell orphans up for adoption in that last post…

I heard the album, and I must say that it is worth buying. And btw, please think before you talk regarding album sales. I’m really tired of hearing about how Eminem destroys everybody and their dog in album sales. Just look at who buys his albums…

Anywho, I’m still waiting for Cage to drop his next album, Depart From Me.

@thacahhter

I’ll add my two right quick on your post..I hate to tell you but a school is not a place to gain knowledge..We lose knowledge at schools as black people but I get what you were trying to say..Schools only teach us how to become trained monkeys..It is quite capable for a black man to be a high school drop-out (even though i’m not) and still possess more intellect than someone who have their Doctorate..So don’t combine school and knowledge because it’s somewhat of an oxymoron and if you don’t believe me think about all the things you’ve learned weren’t true after you got out of high school..Crackers put lies into books and beat them into our head continuously until it becomes second nature for us to go around spreading their lies to each other..

Bottom line is play their game by all means but still have a true understanding of what’s taking place..Don’t become another corporate Tom and lose touch with who you are as a person en route to their fictitious American Dream..Stop being fooled by their definition of education and educate yourself..

I’m glad someone responded to me for bringing Plies and G-Unit’s name in the convo of disappointment album sales.

Yes Plies sold more than Nas. But consider the amount of work Plies did and that check he’ll recieve. PATHETIC. I wouldn’t be surprised if he still owes money.

ALSO you need to get your facts right…Nas’s first week sales 180K..

Plies 1st week sales…about 100K. Yes is album is currently Gold. But those are pathetic sales considering all the work and singles (CLUB BANGERS are SUPPOSED to give you BIG NUMBERS). All the star studded guest appearences, All the producers, and people writing hooks and what not. He can’t be to happy about these album sales.

…Did I mention he’s signed to a label thats signed to a label?

Pray for Plies times are hard!


as for G-Unit..don’t give me that bullshit about group albums sale less. COMPLETE cop out. This is G-UNIT we’re talking about, Beg For Mercy did INCREDIBLE numbers.

And is been 5 years since that album. You can’t tell me the die hard G-Unit fans weren’t itching for this album. Shit…I was!

Consider all the fueding and internet plublicity they collected. Shit they even said things about Wayne which got them instant attention. Yet…to sell what they sold is pathetic.

And the funny thing is…the money they’ll get from this album they’ll have to split between 50 Cent, Yayo, Banks..,Buck

Then the producers who aren’t just ordinary producers:

Swizz Beatz, Ron Browz, Tha Bizness, Rick Rock, Ty Fyffe, Polow da Don, Don Cannon, Jake One

Pray for G-Unit…Times are Hard!

And I can have you Pray for Wayne too if you like. So don’t temp me you dumbed down idiots…

Enough about everybody else. I copped “Untitled” best album so far album. Classic. Even his mixtape is better than any album I’ve heard so far.


Support Hip Hop…

Peace!

First of all, I’ll say this much Nas is not comparable to Plies when it comes to talent..Secondly, for Plies to outsell Nas when he’s a supposed living legend is big..No matter who he had behind him or how many labels he’s signed to..You don’t want to compare money made from shows, album and ringtone sales and so forth or Plies will blow Mr. Nasir out of the water..Don’t forget this is Plies second album and this is Nas what?

If you are going to talk talent that’s one thing but Nas ain’t seeing the kind of money Plies getting and both are signed to the same company..The talent might be better up here but our hustle is that much better on the flip side..Compare some of our elite rappers that have only been in the game half the time as some of the East Coast legends and you’ll find that they are the ones not getting paid..Any rapper will tell you the game is 90% grind and 10% talent..That’s why Nas and Shawty Lo will be in the same income bracket this year..Nas is one of the worst hustlers in hip hop and a true definition of a crab in a bucket..Who else is helping from QB? Why hasn’t he put out any acts on his record label? Why isn’t he ever one of the top earners in hip hop when any year he drops a cd his is one of the top sellers? Plies probably makes more money off of ringtones a year than Nas will make off of his cd..Another thing is half these dope boy rappers do more for their community than Nas..

Community support

Plies > Nas

Talent

Nas > Plies

Hustle

Plies > Nas

yea dope boy rappers rap about sellin dope and influence these weak minded kids that the only way to make money is to sell drugs nas doesnt do that he actually trys to make music to inspire and encourae and eventhough he knows niggas will knock him for it he still does it b/c he believes it thats a real nigga for you

and i would expect plies to sell more he caters to woman and woman buy albums

stop worrying about other niggas money that a bitch trait homie i bet he wont give you a dime

I ain’t worried about his money you dumb ass nigga..I’m not the one who wanted to compare the two..That’s for you niggaz..I don’t paper count but I will make a nigga look stupid for saying stupid shit as you will clearly see….I countered what homebwoy said and there’s no bias in anything i’ve said..I’ve bought Nas albums and i’ve never bought a Plies album so what were you saying?

I don’t give a fuck about neither one of their albums because truth be told one is a college educated brother rapping about negative shit..The other is a so called street poet and activist that don’t do shit for his community..If Nasir was about encouragement and inspiring he wouldn’t make it a point to degrade black women every chance he gets..He would rap about things that will better us as a people and not bring us down, which he does just as much as the next man..Get your own opinion and stop repeating some shit you heard another nigga say pertaining to Nas..What the fuck is he doing for you? What dime has he gave you? I bet you’ll chose to think before speaking to me next time..

Bottom line is I don’t co-sign neither of these fraud ass niggaz because i’m not just listening to their words like the rest of you lost mufuckaz..I’m following their actions too and neither words are matching their action..Now what did you have to say? I don’t dick ride another man because I got my own partner..Now give Kelis back Nas dick please..

Nigga you’re ignorant and you proved it back the lack of an intelligent point..Real shit always turns to jibber-jabber when a bitch azz nigga like you refuse to look at the facts..If i’m lying prove it if not you’ve proved my point..

Glad he got the number one spot, still disappointing he only sold that much for such a solid album

Damn, i thought the controversy over this album would atleast push 200,000-250,000 copies in the first week..Nas didnt even outsell Plies…now thats some bullshit

Yea i hear that “My opinion” i wanted him to do mored than weezy but still it No1
N.I.G.G.E.R. = Nas, Is, Gods, Greatest, Ever, Rapper…..

Yea i hear that “My opinion” i wanted him to do mored than weezy but still it No1
N.I.G.G.E.R. = Nas, Is, Gods, Greatest, Ever, Rapper…..

“Hero” IS a catchy smash hit single and a club banger…..in fact, it might be the catchiest song I’ve heard all year…I mean, who the heck isnt driving around singing “Chain gleaming switichin lanes two seatin….” C’mon author….

BIG RECORD NAS! I WENT OUT AND GOT IT FIRST DAY SON. VERY INTELLIGENT BROTHER. MY HATS OFF TO YOU. CONGRATS ON 5TH ALBUM GOING #1. NORTH CAROLINA STAND UP!(THE ROCK)

i coped the album and it’s a classic album of the year!!!!!
No
Im
Gangster
Gotta
Eat
Raper’s

Okay, you have to be the most ignorant nigga on the internet..How can I be an internet gangsta for making valid points with no talk of physical harm? If you think i’m an internet gangsta it’s only because you internet pussy..You might want to learn the definition of an internet gangsta before you use the term dumbass..I can tell you didn’t graduate because your comprehension skills suck just like you homo..

I know Nas was going to get number 1, But I do think he could have sold more if Hero was released like 3 weeks before the album, not the week of the album. Def jam started promoting it the week of the album….If they would have did it earlier he probably would have done 300,000 or 400,000 in the 1st week. just look at “hip hop is dead” it did those numbers it’s 1st week, cause the promotion was out there early. And I think we all agree that untitled is way better than hip hop is dead.

yo im just gonna say this i dont know if its just me but i dont remember nas dissin woman every chance he gets..next callin me a dumb ass nigga just proves your ignorance homie sounds like you have some anger issues you bash nas every chance you get..all i was saying is why niggas care about niggas money so much who knows who makes what for a show? and lastly name every mainstream rapper and name one who has even come close to rappin about shit niggas need to hear compared to nas thats not rappin 85% punchlines,haters,rims,money,hoes atleast the dude trys

Nas got a hundred and one songs talking about his attire and some pretty chick sucking him off and some more shit…If you had read my previous post you would’ve seen i’m not paper checking..I don’t have anger issues I have a problem with niggaz commenting on shit without knowing all the angles..Do your research next time if you don’t like being called dumb..I don’t know what who makes for a show but I guaruntee you Plies doing triple or quadruple the amount of shows Nas is doing..Go pull up their tour dates for this year and last year..

It’s a lot of mainstream rappers that scatter thought provoking lyrics in their rhymes..Nas ain’t the only one and don’t act like he’s been making these kind of cd’s either..I remember when Illmatic first came out and the follow up..He said some real shit but not on every song and there ain’t too many songs in his cataloge where he stays on track with the theme of the song..I like Nas but he’s nowhere close to hip hop’s savior..How many songs does he talk about killing other brothers just like the rest? How many times has he name dropped on his fashion? I tell you what listen to " If I ruled the World"…Did he not talking about selling drugs, using drugs, name dropped white companies? Don’t get me wrong he said some real shit but he’s contradicting himself all at the same time..You never heard Pac mixing songs like “I get around” and " Keep ya head up" in the same song..He stuck to the topic..Just like Nas don’t stick with his battles he rarely sticks to the topic..In the words of Jay “Just because he wear a koufi don’t mean that he bright”..

It just mean you don’t understand all the bullshit that he writes..That was some of the realest shit that Jay said about him..It just flew over a lot of niggaz heads because they ain’t bright enough to see the real from fake..How in the hell Nas going to bring all black people together when he couldn’t even bring the niggaz from his neighborhood together? Try and answer my questions this time since you want to debate on it..Let me show you how intelligent I am..Real niggaz lead not follow..

its not that i dont see that shit believe me i got all wu albums all jays and nas and pacs i understand all rappers contradict themselves at some point i dont even think i would have listend to pac or nas back in the day if they were all positive ex:common,talib,mos def)i need some g shit too but the fact that they gave you that street shit and atleast tried to give you some light on other subjects weather it was name droppin people we never learned about in school (which made me do more research on my own in middle an high school)or using story tellin in a lyrical way to send a message every mc shows growth nas even said “he aint got it in him to march” so i dont expect that from him but like pac said he will spark the brain that changes the world that what i look for

Nas can’t spark shit because he’s a follower..Let me explain something to you pimpin..A follower can’t make a leader..Leaders are born not raised..Nas don’t think for himself..He’s the type of nigga that hear some shit and then go around preaching to everyone else like it’s the word..When you have an ignorant nigga that don’t care to understand the system they are dealing with but chose to speak on they end up spreading more bullshit thoughts to the rest of us..He got some strong points with some of the things he say but since i’m a man of action his words don’t mean that much to me..It’s too many loud mouth niggaz with no action and that’s why we aren’t seeing a change in the way we are being treated..I would really love for the brother to expand his mind and learn this shit forreal so he can speak on it with some intelligence…Every time someone asked him a question about the title of this album he always looked like a deer stuck in some headlights..That lets me know he hadn’t thought on what he was saying too much and that a good portion of this is for publicity..

I wish people would do more research on these rappers instead of just riding with them..If I told you I was about my people and I never came back to my old neighborhood..Never did anything for the people and kids in that neighborhood then how could I convince you that I am about the struggle forreal? I wouldn’t be able to but black people need someone to believe in so bad they’ll follow any nigga in a position to say something…i.e. Nas and Obama…

I’ve played many ho’s off things i’ve said to them but if anyone of them broads would’ve watched my actions they would’ve knew I didn’t have their best interest in mind…It’s no different with this shit here..Stop watching the left hand so much when you don’t know what the right hand is doing until it’s too late and you get the shit smacked out of you..Game is game and it don’t matter what format it’s given a real player knows when it’s being spit…Last time we fell for this bullshit we let a country ass cracka by the name of Clinton trick us just because he smoke weed, like head and listening to black music..Damn near every cracka I know do the same things..It’s just we needed someone to believe in so bad..All at the same time this mufucka was using his plane strips in Arkansas to bring in coke and support wars in the other countries while destroying our communities..Read up homie..

Anybody knows whats Def Jam’s record sales are looking like for this year?

its all about preference and the target audience! nas spits fire no doubt, but at the same time, no young ppl really wanna hear the issues he speaks about. they wanna hear a hard bass line with the lyrics talkin bout drugs, and bitches, and money and shit. nas is political, so how can u expect somebody that aint even old enuf to vote to really wanna listen to him? they gonna listen to the artists that sold helllla in their first week (Wayne, Soulja Bitch etc.) not cuz they better rappers, but just cuz they get good marketing and appeal to the youngins who dont kno how to use limewire or dont own a computer. it aint a loss in nas’ book cuz hip hop is all bout competition, and at least for one week, he was on top of all the competition. give respect where its due

LAX = Next Hot Album

TRUE SHIT ^{^}^

get ready to trash me but nas has 3 fuckin classic albums illmatic stillmatic nd untitled
this niggas is the greatest rapper alive not jay-z not wayne or nebody else its NAS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE

i aint bout to say wayne is better than nas b/c there two different type of rappers from two very differnt areas but i do know that hip hop is definitley alive this year and i gotta go back to last year with kanye wayne sellin over a million copies in a week nas go 1 again t.i. coming out wit hiz thing the gamez sum shit but itz a great time for hip hop oh and just to let u kno the carter 4 shud be out nex year

yo i’m from tha south and Nas is fo sho one of the G.O.A.T but i’m sick of east coast fans hatin’ on Wayne because he’s addressed as the best right now (to so many people)if you don’t like it kill yourself .Just because you can give a list of your favs don’t make it official just like i think Scarface is one of the best Ice cube also T.I. Bun-B and Luda but how much of the east coast agrees (0 percent)it don’t matter cause my personal opinion ain’t shit Jay of course they all good rappers but all these dudes are just men getting money from entertaining us. alot of us take it to far and think they are some kind of Mob Figures they just men trying to feed their families to just like us the south aint no better than the east or the west and that’s where i’m from

Okay.

Rawtoon..and that other guy. To settle are dispute. Nas IS a Hip Hop Legend. It doesn’t matter how many records he sales. So pair him with any rapper you want. Nas isn’t the best because he sales millions of records or because he targets an specific audience.

He doesn’t. He’s the best simply becuase he has the courage and the lyrics to CREATE music HE wants to hear nusic he feels is what needed to be heard.

Just cause your favorite artist (Plies, Weezy, etc) make music YOU want to hear…doens’t make them better. It makes them worse. Because there music’ll change to tailor whatever trend is popluar at the time.

Nas is forever.

So yeah..you called me an internet ntellectual…If that’s because I feel Nas is better than 97% of the rappers you can name. Then So be it I’ll take that title.

That’s better than being an computer gangster I’ll tell you that much.


Be a nigger too.

Stop hating on Nas it’ll get you nowhere. He doesn’t care.

Hip Hop is dead!


And all you other cats throwing shots at me…

You only get have a sentence:

FUCK YA’LL NIGGAS.

Peace!

Im not even gonna read down this page to see what people are disrespecting my nigga Nas! Yo bottom line rap has come a long way and regardless if Nas is going platinum now he has been platinum before! How about he went platinum on his first album with no guest appearances! Now what man can do that? Not even Jay-Z! Stop hating Nas is the reason why people have swag! When he came in the game he came with an attitude of IM NOT KISSING NOBODY ASS, IM YOUNG, IM BLACK, & IM FROM QUEENSBRIDGE PROJECTS, IM HOOD, & I GOT ALOTTA SWAG! Opinions are cool but facts are facts! And Nas taught alot of yall niggas thats hating how to be a Gangsta and a Gentleman! I said all of this 2 say STOP HATING!

Lmao, Nas taught niggaz how to be a gangsta and a gentleman..How can a nigga that ain’t gangsta teach a nigga that is how to be gangsta? This is the main problem with you fans and stans..You believe in these rappers and what they say so much you think you know what they been through..Any nigga i’ve talked to or heard talk about Nas from QB said he was never out there like that..It’s a difference in narrating and living..A dopeboy can rap about his lifestyle and not be the best rapper but will sound a lot better than someone who is more lyrical that haven’t lived it..Only fake niggaz will relate to the niggaz that haven’t lived it because they don’t know the difference..If Nas was really from QB like that he’d always have a hood pass and could come and go as he pleases…I don’t feel as though that’s true..Real niggaz relate to real niggaz and their situations..There’s only a handful of rappers that could really pull off not living it and narrating it like they did..

By the way, I guess you’re not as big a fan of Nas as you stated because if i’m not mistaken AZ was on his first cd..Jay might not’ve outsold Nas on his first cd but since then it’s not even close..You said opinions are cool but a fact is a fact..The things you saying Nas did may have affected you that way but not everyone that listened to him..So, there’s another opinion…Everything you said was opinion with the exception of Nas going platinum before..You might want to pull up Webster’s and find out the definition of fact and opinion..

I’m old enough to remember some things..Nas was before his time with Illmatic but Pac was before his time with what he was talking about and his actions..All the things you say Nas taught us is what Pac actually did along with Public Enemy, NWA and so on..Nas was and has always been just a rapper..Are you really ignorant enough to believe swag didn’t exist before Nas? Old heads know Nas was only a younger version of Rakim with less lyricism..To be completely honest all these rappers stole their swag from the niggaz that was out there running the streets at the time..If you ain’t at least a 70’s baby you wouldn’t understand..Nowadayz the so called street cats mimic rappers but back in the 80’s and 90’s it was the other way around..The rappers were getting raped up until the mid 90’s…Dope boyz been eating the whole time and they had the money to live the life most of these rappers rapped about..You need to get your facts straights and learn the history of the black community and the history of hip hop before commenting again…

Hating: means to dislike someone for no reason other than jealousy or envy..

I’m neither so i’m not a hater..I give my opinion and you don’t have to agree..I wish you young niggaz stop falling in love with these rappers and co-signing them like you know them..I don’t know them either but I do see their actions..We as fans have only two things to draw our conclusions from, which are actions and words..

Nas is only partially correct with what he say because he usually contradicts himself often..As far as his actions go they don’t exist..If Nas acted as much as he talked he’d be another version of Pac..Since he’s not he’s just another nigga with something to say and he ain’t doing shit about it..

Hey guys, guess who’s #1 this week? Come on, guess. I bet you can’t guess!

based on sells, nas album flopped. but this classic is a classic and is better den c3. c3 is gud but it is not betta den c1 r c2 at all. nas is a vet been round longer. didnt go pop, dont rap lollipop. raps real life shyt. no drug shyt. no fake ass rick ross shyt. no bust it baby. jus heart 2 heart shyt. nas cd went numba 1 to dats gud 4 me. bust it baby n lollipop r gud songs but nas dont have 2 b like dem. sing 2 females and shyt 2 get hits. nas is goat.
