These are a great deal of the characteristics that a master MC make.
Even DJ Khaled's annoying chattering couldn't fuck this song up. If Khaled did make this beat, much respect for that, but I just hate to hear him speak
Iont fukn hate on khalid...but da point is dat nigga khalid should stay behind da scenes and do dirt...niggaz is tired of seein dis nigga...n heont gotta yell on evry track....the runners dont do dat, kanye dont do dat,neptunes dont do dat,dre dont do dat....i think he talk on evry track cuz heont got a signature in his beats like they do and no 1 would kno its a khalid beeat if heont sa we da best
Brooklyn stand up...Bedsty, Nostrand is da ave come holla
As far as i'm concerned this is a nas track, fuck khaled....i can do his job....have hot producers give you beats, yell on them, and get ridiculous rappers on them.....man's got it pretty hard...
'jump on his dick' MAN FUCK DJ KHALED! i still hate that lil annoying bitch...anyway the songs good...i like nas part of the hook but im not feelin the singer...its not bad its just not my style(the singing) other than that i like the song
To master the fucking genre
Like, niggaz can't be serious
Still the grittiest, point blank period
Flow tight as a midget's closet
As tight as a prison block is
No sight of po-lice, when we riot
Fightin the system, fired
Be quiet, when I'm approaching
Get tired, jump out the roses
Sip Meyer's Rum out in open
I'm smokin that hydro, choking
I'm scopin, my eyes are on you
Don't reach cause I tried to warn you
No street corner Nas won't come to
To bomb you, 4 5's will harm you
Eccentric, I'm live but calm too
Cordial, but crazy cautious
Roll through with some crazy gorgeous
Hoes, bodies like lady horses
Like, my whole stampede serious
Ya'll niggaz is funny like Eddie Murphy's "Delirious"
Sped up or real slow, never neo-soul
Hip-Hop only rockin with homey, we Co-D's
Nas not no Hives, or Coldplay
If there was an old days, we pioneered it
Anthony Cruz, Nasir Jones shit, very serious
damn was that DJ fuckheads voice at the start of the song
well this is crazy....NAS is dope....he went in, the new album is gonna be in his top5 ever, feelin this joint rite here
the hook wasnt that bad
crazy joint cant wait for this album to come nas spittin fire on everything lately.still cant stand khalid though.beat and hook are kinda different for nas but still hot.
HAHAHAH Khaled gets anyone he wants on songs and by the way Khaled made this beat but its really funny how you people think Khaled aint great when hes the best DJ out there and about to be one of the best producers
haha yea I can dig tht, as for this track its hittin ova this way, gd to see him doing sum different up tempo music, dont get that to much from Nas, but I like this,
NAS IS HIGH QUAILITY MC IM TELLING U HE SHOULD HAVE A STATUE TO SYBOLIZE HIS GREATEST BUT LOL KHALED I RESPECT KHALED 4 THE UNITY IN HIP HOP BUT LIKE I SAID B4 HE NEED 2 SWICH UP THE 7 PEOPLE HE GOT IN THE GROUP SUMTIMES CAUSE if u look at it he have the same seven people on the song every damn time and another thing the people he work with is not the best except 4 my dudes game jada and nas but they not the best the people he work with r hot but there not the best so i think he setting the wrong example by the way this is a good nas song
It's funny how all of you love nas but don't even try to live life the way he suggests. If nas is so great why don't practice what he preaches. NEway fire... Top 10 fav artist.
IM down with khaled cuz TI is down with khaled, NAS means nothing to me and if he is down with khaled then so be it, I just feel Nas is more wack than Khaled.......PAPERTRAIL COP IT
Notice how Khaled tryin 2 get real hip hop fans wit a song wit Nas on it
4 sum reason I don't like this song like dat
Nas don't sound right on these kind of beats n dat chorus isn't dat good
I ain't Nas my fav but this is jus good not great like all da other songs he's dropped so far
that what I'm sayin..Nas don't even sound right..but damn niggas on his dick so hard anything he put out is #1..fuck outta here..this is an example of an artist with dick riders..and niggas who know they don't like the song afraid to say so because they don't want to get trashed..this song not going anywhere fast
beat is kinda annoying but either way nas ripped it apart cant wait for his album and the fact that khaled did a song without ross t pain wayne birman fat joe plies or jeezy is pretty exciting so im waitin for that album too
my main man nas coming back harddd reminds of when stillmatic was about to drop like he got something to prove but he dont he already king of this rap shit
Scoop208 and Charlieboy SHUT THE FUCK UP. As your lord and savoir would say,"stop hating on a nigga, that is a weak emotion, the lady of a nigga . Niggas don't like Dj Cheerleader. you niggas is stupid. Dj Cheerleader is still wack as fuck. Ok Nas song. I'm a southern ass nigga and i don't ever want to hear Nas on a beat remotely close to that again. I mean Nas is Nas but the overall Track.... I don't Know. He coulda had a way better cool and dre joint. Nas=Hip-Hop.
nas killed it and hate him or not that nigga khaled make some sick as beats nas top 5 mc of all time this is his year aint no one gona fuck wit nas this year ya diggggggggggggggg
On the real though, I aint really feeling the beat and that "NASIIIIIR" shit with that nigga named Khaled.
NaS lyricism is always gonna be vintage on any beat, but this annoying ass "ring tone" type joint produced by this dude doesnt compliment NaS's steelo.
nas flo wuz incrediable on dis shit. da beat iz ok. kinda sounds like nails on ah board lol. hook iz cooh 2 but Nas aint playin dis yr. NIGGER will b here soon. cant wait.
GREAT SONG BUT I STILL HATE KHALED HE DIDNT EVEN MAKE THIS BEAT COOL & DRE DID NAS 2NDGOAT BEHIND PAC MAYBE WITH A HUGE MAYBE THIS ABLBUM CAN PUT HIM OVER PAC BUT PAC WAS GOING TO START A REVOLUTION WITH HIS MUSIC NEWAY OFF TOPIC BUT GREAT SONG
yeah ppl give khaled too much credit, but whatever, he's doing something to put all this niggas on the map, you didnt hear Rick Ross until khaled blew it up, so he's smart to put NAS on his shit for NY credit. The track is crack though, trust, when you hear it in the club, a few times in the radio, then you will feel the track more, but khaled, sometimes you really need to just shut up and let the track breathe, damn, always talking through the track, shut the fuck up sometimes. you global, ok we get it, move on damnit.
Khaled has brought a new whole level to this one and nas and Khaled go back many years and this song is the best I've listen to this year, believe me, We Global will be even better than his DJ Khaled's first album.

Brooklyn stand up...Bedsty, Nostrand is da ave come holla
damn, we all love nas here (no homo) but hop off his dick a lil lol musta tooken u a half hour to think off that list
Even with the annoying prick DJ Khaled on this track this shit is hot. Nas is killing everything lately.

This is funny...I wonder how many people bout to jump back on Khaled now...silly as hell. Nas top 5 as usual.
It's funny how all of you love nas but don't even try to live life the way he suggests. If nas is so great why don't practice what he preaches. NEway fire... Top 10 fav artist.
If you woulda told me Nas and Khaled would be on the same track, I woulda slapped you.....aka didn't see that comin. '08 is crazy. Fuckin crazy.
Tip_Goat how old are you? You act so retarded.

Who knows maybe this song will make both Khaled & Nas' albums
Escobar season has returned
7.15.08 - History in the making
it's pretty good nas killed it but i think it still could have been better but yea it's still a nice ass track dat id definately listen to a good bit

Nas don't sound right on these kind of beats n dat chorus isn't dat good
I ain't Nas my fav but this is jus good not great like all da other songs he's dropped so far

NAS is a real G.O.A.T. tru shit nas is a beast wait till his album comes out then ull see he is on another level
I AGREE
Nas is my nigga all day,How much sombody wanna bet thar weezy and rick ross or fat joe go be on the remix
once again the whole south beach all-stars goin to be on da remix n fuck up the whole song
Best Rapper Alive.
He doesn't have to say it himself. Because wether everyone admits it or not. They know.
People like LL, Jay, Weezy. Try to throw there name in there. But like I said. We know.
Don't really like the song. Nas ripped it. Beat is annoying. Hook needed work.
But easily one of the better songs I've heard recently.
Peace!
beat is kinda annoying but either way nas ripped it apart cant wait for his album and the fact that khaled did a song without ross t pain wayne birman fat joe plies or jeezy is pretty exciting so im waitin for that album too
nas = king of this rap shit.
no disrespect to jay-z.
and i still dont like khaled.

Am digging dis shit but Wutang/Redman would have killed dis beat much better!
Nas is da fuckin truth...1 of da greatest, Khaled is ass
On the real though, I aint really feeling the beat and that "NASIIIIIR" shit with that nigga named Khaled.
NaS lyricism is always gonna be vintage on any beat, but this annoying ass "ring tone" type joint produced by this dude doesnt compliment NaS's steelo.
nas flo wuz incrediable on dis shit. da beat iz ok. kinda sounds like nails on ah board lol. hook iz cooh 2 but Nas aint playin dis yr. NIGGER will b here soon. cant wait.

yeah ppl give khaled too much credit, but whatever, he's doing something to put all this niggas on the map, you didnt hear Rick Ross until khaled blew it up, so he's smart to put NAS on his shit for NY credit. The track is crack though, trust, when you hear it in the club, a few times in the radio, then you will feel the track more, but khaled, sometimes you really need to just shut up and let the track breathe, damn, always talking through the track, shut the fuck up sometimes. you global, ok we get it, move on damnit.
Khaled has brought a new whole level to this one and nas and Khaled go back many years and this song is the best I've listen to this year, believe me, We Global will be even better than his DJ Khaled's first album.
