[BlackSumHope]

My brother nigga nas

[YungMalThaKid]

Disillusionment in song form

[blaknose1000]

you see that? nas still keeps it real.. you sell out mcs should do the same

[molesticles]

I'm Irish...

But I like to think of the line, "We are the slave and the master, what you looking for you're the question and the answer" as a play on the meaning of life.

[jgonzalezsolorio]

@molesticles I really recommend this excerpt from the film 'My Dinner with Andre'. Watch the clip, it says it all, and so well.

watch?v=g_mivWFkSKU

[Xewilliamsx]

That beat is sick......Nothing out now that even holds weight compared to this

[miami2930]

[PhillyRoja]

[MrCalculus999]

[EminemLatestNews]

One of Nas,s best New Songs

[seamac206]

Nas- 1st album one of the best, today still hard, political, and real

Gay-Z - 1st album and the black album were all right (can't hate) , today sold himself out to the white man to be a pop culture icon

[2pacforlfe]

@seamac206 woo jay z is raw

[kinstube]

THANK YOU !!!! I LOVE !!!!

[tsmith11]

This is Hip-Hop at its best. Tis song has talent, energy and a message.

[GridironVideos]

Firstly, Nas is a hip-hop legend. Enough said!

Secondly, slavery is not about racism, it's about business. Slavery back in the days can be compared to cattle (cow) owners today. The freedom of the slave/cattle is denied in exchange of some kind of product (milk, meat) or production (labor). There has been white slaves, black slaves, yellow slaves, etc.

If you look at it one way, most farm owners are slave masters. However, I doubt we'll see any change in that unless the animals learn to speak.

[punisher00109]

@GridironVideos except we didnt mass produce human slaves as common household foods

[angelicsinz137]

@GridironVideos umm ur right. Its about business but america chose Africa because they thought Africans were a inferior race to whites...therefore they chose them

[jgonzalezsolorio]

@angelicsinz137 The masters will exploit any who they can exploit, the only color they care about is the green, the cold hard cash. Anyone truly out to bring good and advancement to the under-privileged does not focus their entire campaign around color, they let their actions speak, rather than only running their mouths.

[angelicsinz137]

@GridironVideos to be slaves... i left that out my bad

[13MittaMitta13]

You say Justin Bieber-I say Tupac

You say Lil Wayne-I say Biggie Smalls

You say Drake-I say Ice Cube

You say Soulja Boy-I say Big Pun

You say Gucci Mane-I say Rakim

You say New school-i say shut the fuck up

You say Pop-I scream Hip Hop!

You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face

92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music post this on all the old skool songs

[carter71185]

NAS = THE G.O.A.T

[cobratanker23]

powerful

[sinccitybabyface]

favorite song right here nas speaks the truth

[shawneybird]

This song is deep....

[Terrra91]

Don't get me wrong I mean I fuckin hate racists they're just insecure about themselves and that guy is probably racist but why is the phrase 'white power' gettin thumbs down when if someone wrote 'black power' people would see that shit as alright. Thats hypocrisy.

[fmcneillii]

because the type of power theyre in regards to is different ,black power claims self impowerment, white power claims superiority ova "inferior" RACES! its not the words thats the problem its the intended message. we just want to unite and improve our condition thats positive!

[Terrra91]

But doesnt black power have suggested links with the nation of islam and stuff like that?

[Michael2987]

@fmcneillii << brainwashed nigger

[RumorsOfWarz]

If black and whites traded historys, then "black power" would be racist as well.

[breadeaterfrompl]

tribal leaders made money selling slaves to the white man

[jesusfucksignmeupalr]

WHITE POWER!

[mweezy]

This is the Nas we know 4 real!!!

[babsjnr]

i'm a mixed race half african and english but still i'm very proud 2 be a nigga 2! but most of our black kids need more education and stay away from the street and we should stop killing our self , black african, black american, black caribean we are all 1 together we shall live for ever.

[falseistrue]

DAM... gotta be fresh for school with fly sneakers...Schools with outdated books... NAS is the best to ever to this hip hop shit..

[greglee42]

theres no way we could go back. with what resources? If you look at black people today where nothing like africans. Im an African American and I dont care for African people at all. Were a blend of races, look at how we act, Christianity hence American term African American

[thesassiest]

blacks are their own race u not considered mix when you are 90% black and 20% black YOU ARE BLACK quit tryna be ashamed of you being black. you are not cuter being mix. your cuter being black dont let tv and racists people influence you that mix is better. get some REAL knowledge.

[acdc4200]

damn dude, calm it down. We are all of this world, with our lies we cast the word, and its the truth i spit, when i say calm down and keep it legit. As we go on to see, we are all to take the blame, and no matter what we do, saints and sinners always look the same. So keep it on the level, and believe the basis, with the killers and rebels, theres no need for racists.

[fmcneillii]

dude the only difference is color ur damn nose aint european retard let ur ass been just three shades darker. 4 ur info were only mixed wit white and dats was cuz we were raped . every "nigga" u just lucky u didnt come out darkskinned. if both ur parents r predominantly blk(regardless wat color) U about 85% BLK even hiyella tomjoyner found he was 80percent african

[FobianEwarystD]

Your homies are slaves

[AZshooterman]

Man, spelling is right on!!

[KINGDAVID230]

FIRE!!!!! IS THIS ON HIS ALBUM?

[khanteechit]

yea itz on his new album

[Sunsrdabest]

Keepin it real... still racism in this world...wheres MLK when we need him??

[warpuppyTN70]

@Sunsrdabest africans are racist towards american blacks; riddle me this. they were the ones that sold us the blacks.

[wonderman227]

@warpuppyTN70 Because white on black slavery existed before the americas. it first began long ago, when rome took over egypt . Also that was only ONE Tribe that sold blacks as slaves because it wasn't the thing to do. Also they had indentured slaves, unlike white americans who treated the slaves like pure shit. Also slavery is more than chains, so i doubt it that black slave owners would destroy their slaves own language, heritage and culture seeing that they too were Black.

[warpuppyTN70]

@wonderman227 i think you're ignorant of the truth. why would blacks sell their own people in the first place?

[sicajuan]

@Sunsrdabest

who needs MLK to fight racism? stand up and be him! we don't need more damsels in distress

[Cosimo7777777]

@Sunsrdabest Like Nas said: You're the question And the answer.

[champukeilyn]

@Sunsrdabest fuck mlk where's malcolm?

[superpizzaguy123]

@Sunsrdabest we need another malcom x bro

[PeaceSells100]

@superpizzaguy123 All Malcolm X did was help further create a rift between whites and blacks. It's simple, just stop hating is all haha

[Milesutd]

so true...

stand up, speak up

my lovely ppl

holla

[steadfasted]

Nas is the best but this song sucks, good words but he sounds sleepy.
