@cosacosi1 Sample from ''The Temptations-Message from a Black Man'' or ''The Spinner-Message from a Black Man". Other versions also exist. In Hip-Hop, many artist sampled this track : ''Ill Bill-Unstoppable'', ''RZA-You Can't Stop Me Now'', ''King Geedorah-Anti Matter'', ''Mos Def-Undeniable'' and others...This one is not the best one according to me...check out those other one. Peace!
I see yall like that real hip hop! lol check out my music on my page you'll definitley find some good music, bless you all and i hope to make fans from each one of you.
YO KILL THAT REAL HIP-HOP SHIT esp my blacks ppl... IT"S ALL REAL HIP-HOP.. Even KRS-1 told ya'll that shit 10 years ago in magazines and interviews.. I can see whites and other nationalities sayin that BULLSHIT but "US" HELL NAW.... ITS ALL HIP-HOP from E-40 to Freddie Foxx from mic geronimo to jayo-felony. From Nas to Ice cube.. Outkast to Kanye .just because you don't like doesnt meant it AINT "REAL" HIP-HOP stop trynna separate MY FUCKIN CULTURE, MY RACE
I think no-one should eat meat...I get it,..But how could you stick up for Micheal Vick? It was not a race issue it was a animal "rights issue"....Your saying it's ok to fight pit bulls because China eats them....If it was a white used that sample first man who did it, i would feel the same,,it just sucks because i liked the song so much now i can't listen to it...madlib used that sample first anyways...
Ironically I strongly believe thet brothas like Nas are "the Last Poets" in that they speak of the tragedy and triumphs of society and not that commercialized bullshit that some of these other dudes put out. Fuck up that Kelis is a materialistic wanna bereal sista who ran him for broke. Nas is Hip-Hop, believe that!!
as hard as it is to take. Not all whites are like this. It's such a large picture that I can't to put it into a comment. Don't sell out the human race for that which is put out in media. We/all colors need to check the devils who run our lives...mark my words. hate in your heart will cost you in the long run...erick...within love
I'm from d south and i dont really like music from d NY.But i've always like Nas every since i heard "If I Ruled D World" song & its been like 14 years already.Lyrics+Voice+Struggle=NAS.
Nice beat, great flow, but some of the lyrics? Pssss...
VERSE 1: The 'Willie Lynch' document has some intense paragraphs but it's not an actual historical document written at the time it's alleged. Even Professors at Black colleges like Spelman point that out. FYI Black folks don't make Gucci, it's Italians, and it's Europeans who made it hot, with or without black folks, Gucci would still make and design let alone sell well-made apparel.
Talks about Pyramids but Black folks weren't abducted from Egypt to be brought to Americas so the journey of 'The Pyramids to the Projects' (to use the words of Askia Toure) is misleading in this context. Makes me wonder why folks don't refer to Mali which is actually in West Africa...Timboctou was a centre of learning and it's possible some folks were abducted from that region but hell to the naw with Egypt.
VERSE 2: "Cannibal ways of the Ancient Caucasians...as usual, demonizing a group of people who's religions, cultures, languages and agendas differ dramatically. Like to be told HOW and WHEN this occured...
Grade? C+. When Nas spits heat it's explosive but I think this verse was a little messy...he can do better lyrically. But the flow? IMPECCABLE. He's got flow, voice and passion for aeons...
@aljaggr "when im on the flow from the law, like freemasons got lodges all across the nation" nas the pharaoh...that and "rock solid shit like stones and monuments, the third eye, the obelisk its obvious they watchin us" hes one of THEM! hahah either way Jay Z aint got shit on Nas, and if Nas is in "the club" atleast he's still making that real rap...
@DoctorSess pple have taken those lyrics out of context as proof of Nas being down as u say, the lyrics r "Clik still movin "LIKE" freemasons, "SO" if I'm on the flow from the law, there's lodges all across the nation", in otherwords, him nd his comrades r down for each other, like the freemasons nd if he's on the run, he has hideouts all across the nation, now anything is possible, but if Nas is down he should get his soul back, b/c he dosen't seem to be gettin the benifits of being down
@shonha1 it seems (i could be wrong) that Nas is a controlled hero. It's the old ordo ab chao hegelian dialectic. Jay Z is the Villain and Nas is the puppet hero that probably would be down for the cause if he wasn't controlled. Another example is Bush (villain) and Obama (puppet hero). I hope i am wrong about Nas, but i dont think i am. peace.
@DoctorSess I see what you're saying and like I said anything is possible, but when I listen his content it sounds correct, and so far nobody has produced any concrete evidence to convict him on those charges, it's basically conjecture and innuendo, i only hope it doesn't take him getting killed to prove he's real, guess it's like Bob Marley said time will tell
@shonha1 you know giving it more thought i'd like to add that sometimes it isnt so black and white...it might not be so easy to say he is "good or bad". Nas is a human bean just like us you know what im saying, and positive can come from negative things. I was more just using Nas and Jay Z as an example to get the point across that even some of our Heroes are controlled by "them". Either way Nas is still a dope emcee.
@larney1234 I know it's your opinion but i can't give your list credit, "Eazy-e" over Nas, that dude didn't even write, Cube nd Ren wrote all his shit
this song made me a big Nasty nas fan, i get goose bumps right around 1:57 EVERY time, i defintely under-rated nas aswell, truth of the matter is he is a top 5 rapper of all time hes got arguably the best rap album ever in illmatic
I always underrated NAS but now my eyes are open. When it comes to real hip-hop he leads the way. Life is more than just money, cars, and hoes. It's time we wake up!
@AsiaticNaga Nice vid! To any one doubting the ability of my favorite solo rapper, I say to you, look at some of these responses in the thread... then ask yourself "what other rapper would even have you thinking about historical topics such as this?" Content in rap songs in good for its listeners.
He got started after Illmatic. Stillmatic was the shit and it still is. It just we have been condition to her bullshit rap music that we cant hear the ones that talk about our community and what matters.
i know some of yall aint racist but can you please answer why so many white people come on pages that concern african americans and start so much shit???
@mnlkthms i am white, a big fan of nas and the last poets for that matter! i don't know why people start shit, but i have to say that i don't think this song only concerns african americans! i think we all can relate to each others stories and sufferings! i know nas ain't talking to me when he says "you can't stop us now" cause i ain't trying to stop anyone! peace!
@mnlkthms How does this page just concern African Americans? Hip-Hop don't have no color restriction man. Just because he's talking about something I know nothing of because I'm white and don't come from a racist family or anything doesnt mean I can't put myself in his shoes. Thats what real hip hop is all about.
@charlespace09 i guess you read and don't comprehend well,so you expect me to explain myself.well, sorry not in the mood if your sensitive about something that does not concern you why start shit about it??if you don't post racist comments on pages that concern african americans why cry to me about it??
i never labled you anything so what's with the bullshit reply?
maybe you refuse to believe,but this song in reality is about the african american community.if you relate to it,i could care less
@aelproductions You're a MORON this has NOTHING to do with whites but is more subtle; Go hop on back over the fence towards the "GAY IS THE NEW BLACK" building. Away from the cotton fields where people actually get the message of the music that isn't actually even remotely about racism but word play to help make u think!
Or purchase that new Eminem album, as you suburbanites say, G.O.A.T. ...meh! well whatever.
Nas is Hip Hop Yo on Dateline, the other night they showed hate crimes Gave a Blood time, cause he fought with his canine Bestiality, Humane Society Go to China, see how they dine, see what they eat Better yet ask PETA whoever, which animal makes suede If not for suede would you have survived the Dark Ages? Cannibal ways of the Ancient Caucasians Still ya like ya steak tartar, pinot noir Welcome Back Michael Vick... No matter how hard they try, they can't stop us now
J.Z...never would!!....Nasir is very intelligent and he stands in the correct position, on the so-called hip-hop, CHESSBOARD....keep yo enemies closer than yo friends.....messsssage!
