This track is fucking unreal, sick ass beat, with nas showing once again why his lyricism is unparalleled. Gotta love it support true hip hop cop "Nigger"
yo that beat is sick...i was gonna by the album just because of the concept but sice he changed the title i dont wanna hear all this political shit...if its just gonna be called 'Nas' i wanna hear the political nas and the gangsta side of nas, u know like the shoot em up shit too...that would fit the title better if he showed all his personalities since its called 'nas' instead of 'nigger'
Forget about Obama, Crunchy says vote for Dennis Kucinich cuz his wife has a tongue ring. "Now let me see ya tongue ring, let me see, let me see, let me see ya tongue ring"
Notice there is no dance to Pop, Lock, & Drop it or Walk It Out to, no repeating of the hook 30+ times before the track even begins, ... again, no goofy ass dance to hop around to..., no lame guest appearance, no adlibbing - talkin' bout, "Yeahhhhhh", nobody all in the background bein' goofy talkin' bout, "We the best", no shots at other rappers, and most importantly: NO VOCODER!
He's not talking about ice, cars, money, hoes, killin' niggas (I always seek to count how many niggas get killed on a track), huggin' the block, fuckin' bitches.... THERE'S A TOPIC... A CONCEPT.. AND HE STICKS TO IT THROUGHOUT.... He doesn't play around, ala Em (occasionally) or Lil' Tongue Taster....
This is what makes Nas stand out as the GREATEST OF ALL TIME: his charisma, his versatility, his current event "awareness", his ability to stay relevant, not sellout, and continue to drop the hottest lyrics of anyone who raps. PERIOD.
NAS' GREATEST ALBUM (I.M.H.O.) - It Was Written.... 10 mic CLASSIC!
Actually charismatic, there is vocoder in this song... but only Polow Da Don does it, and it's only for about 6 seconds... so your point remains relevant.
I agree.
"My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow"
Charismatic, I remember how disappointed I was when I got It Was Written. I was heated because to me it was a letdown after Illmatic. Funny how now It Was Written is really one of the better hip-hop albums of my time. My top 3 Nas albums: 1. Illmatic 2. Stillmatic 3. It Was Written PEACE Check me out Friday mornings 8-10 on The Livin' Large Morning Show at www.clubmegamix.com Listening to "Only 17" by Jim Jones
08 is nas year... wrd i can c lupe jumpin on this cuz hip hop needs a nas & lupe collaboration.... nas raises tha bar every time... polow killed this beat 2....
nas = tha illest human being 2 eva use a microphone device
Nas=Hip Hops Hero...This nigga makes RETARDED ass niggaz smart...He is on some Next shit..dead ass He ALWAYS comes correct there is NO SUCH THING as a bad drop from Nas....Its like an Oxymoron to use Bad, or wack with Nas in the same sentence
The first verse made me love it, I wonder what the rest will do. Hate to get off subject, but I read a comment somebody made about the Black President song and he said he respect Jay-z for his money but he respect Nas more as a person who stands up for black people and pushes them to do better or something like that. He basically made it seem like he want to just hear somebody talk about it than seeing somebody doing it, which is crazy. How can we advance if all we do is talk about what we gonna do, we have to make a move at some point or we won't get anywhere. I feel like if you respect Nas you have to respect Jay bcuz they are about the same thing. Nas talks about blacks advancing in this fucked up world and Jay advances in this fucked up world and he is trying to help other get there(giving annual schlorships, bringing new jobs to his city). So its like they go hand in hand. They are the best of both worlds and I don't see how you can she one more respect then the other. And people who think Jay is selfish won't understand what I mean.

Nas is by far a THE LYRICAL GOD. All people that come here and say that NAs sucks or his rap is wack, then you are NOT hip hop, NOT a fan of the music and certainly not a creditable voice to be heard.

Stillmatic, I AM, Streets Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead, Nastradamus,etc... He's a fucking legend. FUCK LL, NaS is the real G.O.A.T. Pollow with his unbelievable instrumentals. LIKE DAMN!!!!!!!
