and by the way songs like these don't really call for a thousand comments like "this is hot" "hell yea nas still bringin' that fire" "top 5 greatest of all time", this is a social commentary not a lyrical assault- so how about some intellectual input from my kin- one of the main parts was 'we were scholars before colleges' but he doesn't imply that we aren't scholars anymore, and judging from all of these comments it's obvious that we aren't scholars anymore- just internet groupies arguing over who's the best rapper. How about we start creating our own businesses & help out our kinsmen instead of this ignorant drug/theft culture that's dominating our demographic. Is this too much for you all? If it is then trash me & you'll never hear from me again- I'll delete my account the next time I'm on, but if you're up for future black prominence then prop me, or if you disagree just reply with an intelligent argument, I'm out- and just to let you know, I'm just like one yall man, im trapped n my culture, struggling to get out- http://www.myspace.com/2008mixtapeoftheyear

I feel this, but us blacks get stereotyped with no respect nowadays because of how stupid our culture is, even nas says in this song "am i talkin' about a slave master? no IM GANGSTA!" wtf is that suppose to be good- this shit ain't revolutionary, it's an excuse, yea we was scholars in africa but in the united states we ain't shit- the effects of slavery, this is the truth people- the truth hurts, so trash me if you can't handle it. All my homies hit licks, sell drugs and shit to keep head above water... once again effects of slavery- if only nas didn't try to be so general in his verses... maybe it's a commercial non-commercial song, smart ones feel what i'm saying

Other than Tupac, Nas might be the only rapper to drop knowledge in his rhymes and still be hot/relevant. A lot of rappers can't do what Nas does, they're "scared" to be smart, so you gotta applaud Nas every time he drops some shit like this.

EVERYONE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO COP THIS ALBUM. SUPPORT REAL MUSIC. AND REMEMBER, HE HAS TRACKS WITH PRODUCTIONS WITH POLOW, DJ Khaled, Salaam Remi, n The HITMEN, just to name a few. His album is going to be classic. NO QUESTION BOUT THAT! He always comes correct. And as for the title, who really cares, it matter what's music and material is going to be laid on that. He keeps shit real and drops knowledge at the same time. How can you hate him? He really is keeping hip hop alive. If nas was to ever retire, i think Lupe would be the only rapper to live his legacy, becacuse Lupe is hella lyrical and he spit knowledge just like NAS! I'm forsure getting 3 copies. Just like Hip Hop is Dead.

“People [are] afraid of criticism/ But I always put myself in this sacrificial position/ …Anytime we mention our condition, our history or existence, they calling it reverse racism.”

"In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king,” Nas raps as he leads into the chorus, “They say we N-I-double G-E-R / We are, much more / but still we choose to ignore the obvious/ Man, this history don’t acknowledge us /we were scholars way before colleges.”
