Damian Marley & Nas Talking About their New Album DISTANT RELATIVES

[rasragga]

I love hip hop and more so reggae music, reggae music has more of a natural and spiritual message along with it...why a Marley would want to be a part of what I would call a "dead beat" dad nas, really makes me wonder why he would collaborate wit a dead beat who wont pay for his child.

[nadz1232]

love both great artist

[MouseArgueta23]

do yall see how much they respect EACHother?

[jesswalker1354]

Yo im pretty sure nas smoked a fat blunt before this interveiew

[RasTom89]

Best moment at 07:02!

[SouljahofJah]

Give thanks to both Damian and Nas for putting this great album together. In my 22 years of living, I strongly believe this is the best album I've ever heard and history definitely has been made. The whole world needs to listen to this incredible album because repatriation is a MUST!!!

One Love

[Agnelum1]

08:40 Junior Gong: We want to raise awareness toward Africa... in all kinda ways too, not just about the struggles about Africa in general. there's a lot of good things about Africa too that we want to highlight...just really educate people about Africa..."

idiot interviewer misses the lesson and remains uneducated, follows up with: "And certainly Africa needs the attention... and there's a lot of...maybe more problems in Africa than anywhere else per square foot on this planet..."

tool.

[herpose]

i hate how they cut off all the important things nas adressed,,

[SwirleyMurdock]

Nas and Damian make a point @ 8:42....white man misses the point @ 9:00 LMAO...maybe when he hears the album he will get the point....

"Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known

Put the worst on display so the world can see

And that's all they will ever show"

..not trynna be racist....but this guy is in that frame of mind.

Patience....

[clarencelartey]

DISTANT RELATIVES,sick album.

[misskiberry]

[stillmatic117]

@misskiberry i was blown away, did not expect that, it's fuckin mint.

[duknsurvive]

LOL NAS musta been high all thru this interview haha. Good shit tho i`m coppin this no downloads.

[wifihighguy]

This Album is pure fire. Rap and Reggae DONE RIGHT. Best album heard in a long time.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@wifihighguy "Rap And Reggae Done Right? Sure, if you consider lil wayne "Hip Hop". And Reggae? Nah. This WHOLE "Album" is TAINTED. "Musick Industry" DICTATED. Too obvious. Peace!

[ekushhh]

two brilliant brothers; their chemistry is unstoppable. SUPPORT THE ALBUM!

[Alkamavo]

damm what amazing album....no words....

[SCGtv91]

good interview album iz great!

[the1mightygod]

word up son !

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

It depends on what LEVEL you are speaking on. If you want to talk about FACTS. Lil wayne is on this album. I CANNOT take this project seriously based on that "FACT" alone. Peace!

[codycdoo]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST i agree

[andrewxz]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST I've hated Wayne and the Young Money crew that's buried hip hop as much as the next guy, and I was mad once I saw he was on the My Generation track. But I saw Nas & Damian Marley live last week, this music is truly moving man. Just my two cents.

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@andrewxz I "Hate" nothing or, "Nobody". That is NOT my POINT. "I Am" also moved. By TRUTH. And this "Industry Project" is NOT the TRUTH. Peace!

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

LABELS OWN THIS "PROJECT". AND LABELS ARE CONTROLLED BY BIG BUISNESS. ALL OWNED BY ONE! Peace!

[zlatahn]

@TRUTHWILLMANIFEST

Man!! this MUSIC!!

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

@zlatahn Yup! "Mainstream Industry Musick". Peace!

[TRUTHWILLMANIFEST]

Man, TRUTHWILLMANIFEST no matter how much "They" TRY to censor by marking "Comments" by SPAMMING them. That is TERRIBLE. Peace!

[state17]

saw them in concert...Amazing!!!

[ivan14wreck]

@state17 What's up. I might go see them live here in Houston. I got a question...did each of them perform their solo songs along with the distant relatives stuff?

[miseriaykretek]

how about you both shut the fuck up and just dig the video.

[shylosworld78]

all i can say is that this album is fire. it speaks the truth. nas came hard at kelis, which was the truth. the way she tried playing him up in the media... anyway, the album's message is deep and this one of the best albums thus far of 2010...

[pepsidude08]

Damian is sick, all of his music is amazing, bob would be real proud of all of his boys

[kzique73]

@pepsidude08 fo sho!!! = )

[12shane78]

I'm going out and buying the CD right now! Thanks for uploading this!

[wakanu7]
