Nas & Damian Marley - Only The Strong (Live At Rock The Bells NY)

[itsshanice]

The crowd is silent because they are listening to the lyrics that actually have meaning.

[jensyao5]

the crowd was silent cuz they had their tape recorders out tryna bootleg the song...jk...I think it was their first time hearing it cuz it was in 09 and the album has yet to come out...quiet so they can hear all the words

[terroneonline]

lol why is the crowd silent?

[MrGeneraaltje]

damian is best son of bob

[AlbaanmorSKR]

d marley is quite honestly amazing almost as awesome as his dad was but bob marley cant be topped in reggae by anyone but hes very close :)

[sylverainukshuk]

Nas is the greatest rapper ever but he's a HORRIBLE hypeman lol

NEW SHHHIT!!!!!! NEW SHHHIT!!!!!!!

[sacristan679]

@Luchini731 it was perfect u just need to feel superior thats all

[Luchini731]

@sacristan679 i'm tryin to feel superior even though i noted he's the GOAT? fuck outta here dude.

[sacristan679]

@Luchini731 yeah thats the perfect bitch camuflage to bring him down =) First you make a compliment and then you do whats really in your heart .I cant deny you are smart a bitch but smart =)

[Luchini731]

@sacristan679 lol first off, stop poppin that "bitch" shit online like a pussy. second off, what are you, 12? would you mind being called a bad hypeman but still the greatest rapper ever? i'm trying to bring about my favorite rapper's downfall by saying he's bad at talking shit on stage? LOL @ you defending him like he lets you suck him off every weekend... what's hilarious is that YOU'RE the one trying to feel superior to ME now.

[sacristan679]

@Luchini731 I gave you an answer and you didnt respond to my answer you are acoward = a bitch like a said but i was wrong i thought you was smart bitch you are just a dummy funny bitch And its not that i feel superior than you you just feelin less than me thats all lol!!!!!!!! And last thang i defend everybody who i think is being attacked with that kind of bitchy moves i' m like Batman or some shit like that lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luchini731]

@sacristan679 ohhhhh you're like batman huh? i'm sure nas appreciates your efforts, mr. savior. new solution for you to quit being such a fucking cornball: get your lips off Nas' cock and get laid.

[sacristan679]

@Luchini731 i will !!! but for now i will fight crime !!!! =)

[sacristan679]

@Luchini731 and yeah i would kinda feel not all right if i knew i did a good job as a hype man like he did =)

[buggy89plm]

rly cool song

[ghostlex1]

Damian "Jr gong" Marley!!!!!!!! fyah!!!

[hustla00009]

Nas is the greatest rapper ever hands down..consider this album is even better than illmatic..it shows how much deeper and talented he is at the age of a vet. No one else alive in music compares to him hip hop fan or not!

[offbeatsimon]

your retarded...not because you think Nas is the greatest. but because you made a comparison to Illmatic, its not allowed man

[hustla00009]

@offbeatsimon lick a dick offbeats

[StuttgartSakalis]

dammm RIGHT BOYYY nas is the best hes on to a bigger fight

[jahfireal]

So when is this album going to come out ?? by the time it does it will be like a year or more since !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont understanfd such good material just release it it will make it.................

[0194D]

THe album is coming out i think march 16th.

[bk2205]

@jahfireal its dropping march 16

[ryty0591]

i think that the official release date is march 16th 2010

[brandis3]

Nas is so prolific...the lyrics in that first verse are ridiculous...GOAT rapper, easily

[koon3r]

sick song cant wait for the album nas is the best rapper alive

[Real2410]

I agree

[Undergrounddancehall]

Marley @ DEM!!

[Paule424]

Great song! Damian Marley is the best yo!

[thugspoet]

Distant Relatives March 16 2010

[ballerkaBB]

how do ya know??? is that a final release date? :)

[ballerkaBB]

yeah okey i read the news u r right ! :)

[chyna221]

nas is the top rapper of all time still around the definition of real music not that whack shyt like drake and wayne tru hip hop is the way to be distant relatives is gonna be the shyt

[apexdna]

@chyna221

Drake is lame, whachu comparing to?

[boozaaa]

yeah people saying that nas fell off and stuff i disagree i think people compare him to his first album illmatic more than they should. nas's untitled was an underrated album. nas and underrated should never be in the same sentence though. peace.

[DonLeoMarin]

Yea the only time Nas "fell off" was Nastradamus but even he admits to it. And even than he came with some poetry on that. BUT I think what has been missin from the last few Nas albums is good PRODUCTION and BEATS... Nas has a weak ear for selecting beats and with Damian as producer for the album I think it will go down as a fkin classic and Nas all ready the GOAT rapper will go down as a MUSIC LEGEND!!!!!!! That first verse is just DEADLY

[boozaaa]

Completely agree. Can you believe that Rolling Stones put Illmatic at #400 on a list of the #500 Greatest Albums of All Time? I haven't listened to Nastradamus. I've stayed away from it, because of how bad everyone said it was and I just keep puting it off. Maybe this album will turn me into a reggae fan. Peace.

[MrKobe81]

Great song, i cant wait for the album. It makes me so pissed off when crappers like soulja boy are selling more albums than Nas... I love absolutely everything about his songs. Probably the last rapper who makes not only money, but music as well...

[Browneeentertainment]

imho, best factor of nas is that he got so many songs and every is good while you know all songs of other great rappers or they got albums on which u don't like the half of songs, nas is surprising me again and afain with album-songs which I found and they are so great

[canibus1000]

Cant wait for this album to drop been waitin for a while, u guys kno about nas droppin 2 albums one by premier n one by dre is it goin to happen bcuz all ppl talk about is nas has weak beats but his lyrics r fire well this will solve that

[krazikris93]

THIS IS SO GOOD!!

 and nas used a line that I wrote some time ago (I'm not saying I gave him lol)

"Or you get left behind, and in life you cannot press rewind" that's his line

"Or you get left behind, but if you step then you'll be wishing you could press rewind" that's my line

That's a kool coincidence, or he saw my iPod lol... Great song, can't wait for the album it's probly gonna be my favorite

[Blieve]

@krazikris93 thats why nas is nas u made ur line as a punchline but nas just turned it into something deep...mfuker's state of mind is at another level

[Lorenzo312]

tru, tru... nas has what I call the mankind state of mind... his music transcends time

[ryty0591]

ive been waiting for this album for so long. it was originally supposed to come out in july right? UGHHH

[jrlbruins]

When is it coming out

[MrBadboyKilla]

This is the one album that I most definitely been lookin forward to!!! Nas has always been a deep artist but now he just further proves he versatility and creativity....Im coppin this joint as soon as it drops!!!!!!

[flowlord13]

this is going to be the most anticipated album eva... enriched in creativity and lyrically nourished... GOD'S son and bob's son..

[92SCOUSE]

so wenz it out den?

[IProphetI]

Early 2010 is what its looking like now..

[poetryselite]

Man, I just know this album right here is gonna be so ill that I can hardly wait for its release. This is too ill and if one doesn't like this then they're just psychologically weak and mentally deficient in the knowledge of what really matters... "Only The Strong" can be successful through the "Road To Zion". Nas said it, "So save me ya sorrys/ I'm raisin an army/ revolutionary warfare with Damien Marley". These 2 are legends... nothin more needs to be stated.

[Ji99aMann]

Heheh Ihatederick, easy, and watch the new video of Jay an Alicia Keys, Empire State of mind, a grammy winner song

[animeMMA]

To your response, Empire State of Mind is bitin Nas so hard b/c he had NY State of Mind. That's why ppl don't like Jay Z, he bites everyone. And winning a Grammy now days means next to nothing.

[GMenLT]

Alicia Keys' voice makes that song a grammy winner. Jay-Z's lyrics and delivery are so friggin weak.

[yotequilla]

jay z is not a lyricist hes more interested in the money . Nas is the true talent.

[dere2he]

Yeah, for sure, but Nas is not just talented, he really worked hard for it. He read the whole dictionary.

[blingwhoa]

DITTO!!!!

[BEL79NUN]

enjoy the beautiful lyrics of this song and quit bickering between nas and jayz.....jah bless

[anyagok]

ez kurva jó!!!biztos jó zenék lesznek az új albumon!!!

[Ji99aMann]

I listen to nas, and im big fan but people forget that jay took himself the hip hop genre to a higher level , headlinin Glastonbury rock festival, second on the billboard charts who has most number 1 albums.

make other rappers look stupid about auto-tune, by dropin DOA.. come on the list goes on

[hops2]

yea but ya gotta stop lookin at dese bullshit billboards they dont mean nothin if ur gonna tell me to rate a rapper by how much he sells then 50 cent and solja boi are one great rappers and they arent. and how did jayz take hip hop to another level? he and nas arent doing anything new jayz is basically following biggie and nas is following tupac jayz hasnt done anything that hasnt been done before him.and i do give him alot of respect for DOA he's a very influental rapper but not beyond hiphop

[udee24]

o yes this is nothing new right i think this is the first reggae and hip hop album if it drops but still he isnt doing any thing new right lol and ill admit it jay's new albums lyrics were good but beats where trash i mean kanye got outshined by NO ID

[Ihatederick123]

jay-z sucks and always did in my opinion. once u start calling urself the best, people do too. thats what happened with jay and now is happening with lil wayne. and we all know wayne sucks so much. jay - z i gotta admit with atleast good compared to wayne

[KozmikKidz]

this song gave me chills. when nas opened his mouth i was shivering(pause) great song.

and for yal who think otherwise, nas IS the best of all time. com on, no rapper can compete witth ilmatic, it was writen, i am..,stillmatic, and the lost tapes.....thats crazzy!!!!! and gods son is my favorite albume-hip hop is dead was great- nigger albume was needed- nas=g.o.a.t(greatest of all time- for slow ppl)

[Ihatederick123]

oh nvm i thot i was at a different vid :P

[Ji99aMann]

Nas had Ilmaatic classic. Stillmatic great album, but wha happened after that, I don see Nas doin wha he did in those two albums.

Nas needs to come back with tracks like ' You're The Man' .....I still fuck with Stillmatic, mad album

Hip Hop is competion that you need to stay on top. Jay felt retirin but then again but he cudnt leave the industry no one was there.

[KozmikKidz]

u must realy not listen to nas- go listen to "queens get that money" of the untitled album and tell me that aint the best verse in 2008. hip hop is dead was crazy too.

[Ihatederick123]

jay z isnt near the best

[GeeMoney789]

k jay z is definately not surpassed only by the beatles... kiss, bob marley, micheal jackson, metallica are all way more succesful than jay z

[Ihatederick123]

jay z isnt even close to the best. imo nas is number one and will always be

[gatuschi4132]

love this song so much, cant wait for distant relatives

[Ji99aMann]

Jay-z has 11 number 1 albums, past elvis only the beatles are better than him in Music, he is beyond Rap, have some respect, Nas is great rapper, but he had some flop albums never being consistent like Jay

[hops2]

of course u think that ur obviosly a big fan nas sells more than nas because jayz is more commercial than nas and commercial sells but jayz is a great rapper but not beyond hiphop

[KozmikKidz]

lmao....the best albumes in hip hop history barley went gold the first week. what r u trying to say??? nas beat jay z with ether over takeover. nas is multidimensional with consepts. jay brags and talks about his life. and he jakks rhymes from biggie. nas had so many classics from it was written to ilmatic to stillmatic to i am to lost tapes. jay has a greater mainstreem legacy and so on but that dose not make him a better rapper

[glocparty]

instant classic

[marretjun]

This is gonna be my favorite song of Distant Relatives :P

[THE1TRUELOVER88]

i seen them in ac and when they did this song i got chills i was so moved the whole show was great hope they have another one i will be there

[windekindsurfer]

I just can't wait till there cd is in the shop

all the songs will become hip hop classics

[elmojarju]

Nice !!!! Thx for the post

[walktheline316]

its hard to tell how good a song is going to be when you hear it live first, but you just knew that this song is amazing

[Chickenbuster23]

i think there are a cupple of rappers better than jay z, Nas bieng 1 of em

[xxNtGxx]

Jay-z isnt as good as ppl make him to be. hes been getting worse and worse since reasonable doubt, AZ and NaS are WAY better

[420swed420]

theirs 100s of rappers better then jay z.

[CrzyColombian3]

THIS concertt was fukinnn sickkkkkk best show everrr

[MrBadboyKilla]

Blueprint 3 is ok, its not a classic and Jay-z is overrated!!! Cant wait for Distant Relatives!!

[spyda55556]

Blueprint 3 is a...GREAT album it was drenched in his swagg it was classic Jay-z, his flow his arrogance, wordplay, wittiness it was all there. Jay-z is the king of this rap game he's a symbol of greatness. He went in on the song with CuDi!!!!

[DevilSilver33]

jay-z is great, yeah. But his lyrics, they're just about him living his "gangsta" life. He has no message. These people keep it real.

[NastyNasisback]

Jay is just a dancing monkey. He'll do whatever it takes to sell records to 12 year olds. I use to like him but then I grew up and realized how stagnant he's been his whole career.

[killa4nia760]

Word to the up!

[juanabang]

This is what I got thus far from Damians verse...

"no man live forever but never say never.

everybody want better, just be a go getta.

always be clever, in every endeavour.

justice end up in drastic measure.

never try to pleasure, have your giver string sever.

land and the treasure work for whatever

just don't be a begger, we earn from omega.

one day soldiers don't know which way to give up

we keep going on step up"

[OldSkoolisForever]

the blueprint is all hype, theres one song that i like and it's empire state of mind, bone thugs n harmony is the shit. Krs-one and buckshot has an album comming out too. But if there's anyone who is comming back who might be able to compete with this collab, it's rakim and the seventh seal album.

[jetdatboy]

No its not...Blueprint 3 was good...it wasnt a Blueprint 1 but it was okay....And if you only like Empire of a State Mind then i know you havent heard it....

[OldSkoolisForever]

jay-z is over rated, he doesnt compare to anyone i listed. Everyone acting like his album is gonna b the album of the decade when nas and damian marley are collabing on one.

[jetdatboy]

who said it was the album of decade?....Jayz isnt over rated...he's overated to people who ride only one rappers dick...

[OldSkoolisForever]

he is by far over rated, there are underground artist that can spit better then him

[jetdatboy]

haha you really dont understand Jayz rhyme patterns do you? he's not that lyrical but he's a master of wit when it comes to wordplay....I feel bad talk about Jayz on a Nas video but you dickriders need to be set straight....you can have more than one favorite rapper.

[OldSkoolisForever]

i have more then 1 favorite rapper, but it doesnt include jay-z

[jetdatboy]

i dont care.

[OldSkoolisForever]

and u talkin bout dick riden, when u are literally hopping on jay-z's dick. stop bein a hypocriote

[jetdatboy]

what is a hypcriote?

[norrisderwindavid]

This shit is so far beyond anything anybody is making right now....excludin nobody

[comonSense0728]

I was goin crazy waiting for the album and i think this song will keep me sane untill the release(hopefully)

[NoPulpFiction]

When does this shit drop???

[jcella500]

All I can say is wow,this is the real best of both worlds complete.

[udee24]

the blueprint 3 sucks ass there like 3-4 tracks that good huge let down he braged how it was gonabe a clasic lol bullshit hopefully this albums gona be better

[zvamada]

i think blueprint 3 needs getting used to, it is a hyped up thing-you need to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy it but the hot tracks are mad...this could be something though

[1stnaruto]

fukin badass. i thought nas was fukin up teamin up with damian. but now im really lookin forward to this album.

[dwelch4]

if anything damian is fuckin up by teaming with nas. damian will kill nas on almost every track. watch

[jamaica1234]

pause their like equals lyrically...

[belalmuman]

Fuck Jay, Fuck Rae, i'm sorry K'Naan..but you too..this is the album of the year...and that was true months before it will be released

[roman5]

HEY! OB4CL2 is still going to b the shit...but yea distant relatives is deffinently going to b album of the year and thats bcuz distant relatives is going to cross boundries and pioneer shit..its going to b Epic! OB4CL2 is just a sequel...a really good sequel to

[JayChyllin09]
