this track slap sooooo fuckin hard in da trunk. hardest track on i am and damn near ere track is waaaay above average. Nasir DEF top 5(if not top 3) ever 2 touch a mic
Well, I guess the song "Heaven" from God's Son was sort of like this, with the fast rapping. But that song is infinitely better than this song and he obviously tightened up his delivery for that.
I love Nas, but this is a pretty terrible song... he struggles to even rap in rhythm with the beat. It just sounds awkward. There's probably a reason he never tried to rap like this ever again.
I think we all have these problems, those of us who grew up in the inner city. We are good people deep down inside but it's hard to shake old ways and habits and be completely righteous! I give Nas mad props for his music cause he does go outside the box and come up with good stories! So you can't knock somebody for evolving! Let's stop the fighting and support each other for a chance!
@SADDAMNYOUALL people have identity problems during their teen years, it becomes solidified as you grow and mature, at a certain point you develop your own moral code and things that you believe in and stand for...so if you're over 25 and you're having those types of issues you're the moron...its all psychological...but this is music, and his MUSICAL identity has yet to be defined, he contradicts himself more than Pac ever did...
he doesn't really need an identity, because this is music. if it's good lyrically and musically, thats that matters really. but this song is bad, and he is better than pac.
@Domtubedubstep stop replying with unneeded comments that show your low level of intellect and how bored you must be, that you reply to a comment I made over a year ago just because it has 60 thumbs up.
Honestly I dont know what anyone is talking about if they call this album flashy, NY state of mind 2, small world, favor for a favor, we will survive, ghetto prisoners, I want to talk to you, life is what you make it, Big things, Nas is Like, Money is my bitch, and arguably his best track made Undying love. Wheres the flash thats all but 4 tracks right there and even the ones left out were good. Most of lost tapes is suppose to be on I am too, would have been the best rap Cd Period
@Justo2203 but of course it was heavily bootlegged and Nas pulled last quarter of the Cd. Come now No Ideas original, Drunk by Myself, My way on this Cd and no one would have been able to top it.
i fell bad for you if your the same person as 10 years ago. Jealous much???????. Thats why nas is so great i have grown and matured along with his music. you my friend are a terd.
Friend? LOL Slow down guy. Jealous? No, just cynical. && this song has grown on me a little since I made my initial comment(s) but the fact of the matter still remains that you can listen to one of his CD's and get 30 different ideas of what he stands for...which is misleading. You preach one minute and smack ass the next? People criticize Pac but this is worse, even with his own religion...God Body, Christian, Pagan, Muslim, Mystic?? you have your own pre-conceived notions though
@RKG5A5 Human nature is contradictory. The difference is, your life isn't placed under a microscope for those on the internet, that perceive themselves as perfect, to judge
"Is it Oochie Wally or is it One Mic, is it Black Girls Lost of shorty ow you for ice"
I have never seen someone go from one extreme to the other in their changes and just so you know Oochie Wally and One Mic were released around the same time...
@Beep23 lol @ you thinking you're schooling me on hip hop by telling me Oochie Wally and One Mic were released around the same time. I know that, I bought Stillmatic in 01 and my homeboy had that QB's Finest cd. Nas's verse wasn't even on that.
And stop fooling yourself, Pac would do the same thing with records like Brenda, Dear Mama, Keep Your Head Up and then do How Do U Want It, & I get around.
And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that because no one is as one-sided as you're suggesting
Why're you all sensitive as if I'm trynna school you, I just added that because I don't know you, so how the fuck am I supposed to know what you know and just as a side note I don't care much for Pac, I think people nowadays tend to overrate him and make to be some sort of rap God
Also nowhere did I say people are one-sided, all I said was that I have never seen anybody go from one extreme to another like Nas does certainly not in such a short time span...
Nas is wanna the best eva, top 3 atleast. but this album was not him at all. This was when he was tryna get into the flashy, bling bling shit. Glad that after this he whent back to his own shit
@shecanfeel Nah Biggie did Notorious Thugs, then Nas did this to show he could keep up and get at Cormega. This song fed fuel to the QB inner beef between Nas, Mega, Prodigy etc. Hov atually did it last when he made Nigga What Nigga who. And in case it all neds to be tied together. Biggie made kick in the door at Nas, so Nas had to show his lyrical ability. Hov just copied cause everyone else did it.
@Justo2203 i see, but jay's nigga what nigga who dropped nearly 1 year before this song. besides if u hear jays older materials even before resonable doubt, he sports this flow,
@shecanfeel You right I had the release date messed up. Im ify on Jay old work as a hip hop fan only because ive always felt Jay-Z's flow goes to the highest bidder. First he started out fast, the streets wanted slow so he did slow, then rap got commercial and he went commercial. Granted I think he is a great business man in that case
@shecanfeel I guess im just saying I dont think anyone can truely copy Jay anyway cause his whole career has been based on copying lol. Even down to being named Sean Carter and pulling Jay-Z out of his ass after chilling with Jaz-O
When niggas don't see eye to eye to you, lie to you, wanna get high wit you, wanna eat food off off yo labor and take food off your table. cause they don't see yo vision, don't understand yo mission. it's to make history while you here, how long you plan on living? CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone that calls this song whack just doesnt know the origin, for one everyone messed with the fast thing around that time, Notorious Thugs, Nigga what Nigga who, and Big things for Nas. Also this is a song that heated up the Nas and cormega beef
anyone notice the diana ross interpolation on the beat? its the same melody but not sample i think, sounds like they replayed, but it came out great. dope beat and song.
this man called NAS is future for Hip-Hop Culture nobody like him cogrulation Nasir Jones my favourite album is I am.!!sure is best,I dont know for you but this is BomB
I Am... is a good album, and very underrated. That being said, this song is worse than any song on Nastradamus. Nas trying to rap like the Bone Thugs over a quiet Casio-based sample of the "Mahogany Theme" is just absurd. This is easily Nas's whackest song ever.
That song he made with Genuwine was terrible, but at least Nas stated that he regreted ever doing that collaboration, and if he could go back, he woudnt have done it
@JayChyllin09 In response to " I Am and Nastradamus are his only bad albums"-You are a NAS hating, Source Magazine reading, band wagon riding, moron who knows nothing about hip hop but what you see on MTV. I bet money you did not listen to either album in their entirety!
aahah I can see why tupac wrote that beef on nas into against all odds cause the collab went south but.... I can hear tupac in the first line nas sings in this song... I can see why tupac felt he was rippin his style off but.... prior to this , his first release was illmatic. THat is the single best rap album, of all time. illmatic, and it was written blow tupac's shitty ass cali rap in the sun BS out the fuckin ash hole. Snoop was the only good west coast rapper.
@GodlessMartyr666 an for the idiots who read this and freak balls Im not sayin pac is IN the song. Im sayin Nas sounds EXACTLY like pac when the song starts.
Another hot track from Nas..this is a must have album. This was one of the best tracks. Nas needs to come back and bring back the real shit, b/c today's Hip Hop is nothing but commercial.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lyrics are dope but the beat don't fit him at all.
i'm a nas fan but this song is not that good n not him. he is rapping too fast and that is not his style.
songs like this is why people said he fell off. how you go from nyc state of mind to this ? i know he was trying to be creative but he don't even sound like nas on this track.
yo you are crazy baltimoreblitz16. Nas is an ORIGINATOR. Hes one of the few lyricist that can actually do something different and make it hot. This song is what made rapping fast hot in NY, and like every NEW thing that Nas does, it works.
Who wrote a song backwards? Nas
Who wrote a song a gun? Nas
Who wrote a verse as a prison cell? Nas
"Shoot Em Up" creative 1st verse: Nas
"One Mic" slow and calm, to upbeat and loud: Nas
Nas is true hiphop, hes an ORIGINATOR, and it works great
@scarface1224md NAS ALSO SAID MONEY IS MY BITCH......... HANDS DOWN THE MOST CREATIVE MIND AROUND, HE WONT GET THE REAL CREDIT HE DESERVES UNTIL HES DEAD....... ITS SAD BUT TRUE
They may have started it, idk, I wasnt around during the kool g rap and big daddy kane era of hip hop. But Nas definitely helped make it mainstream and something that others followed. I just like the uniqueness of alot of Nas's work. And he does it while still having a meaning behind his music, whether it be the hood, God, or something else. Nas always has a message in his music, and he's not afraid to say whats on his mind.
dis is a good track unusal considering nas flow but still good (dis album 1 of my personal favorites bcuz it was a decent album hell almost a fukin classic)
NaS flows on i Am and Nastradamus were all half ass. This style of rhyming shouldnt pop out NaS' mouth, this is below the styles on song that made Illmatic, Stillmatic, It Was Written and Lost Tapes so amazing
shut the fuck up. The point of this album is that its NOT supposed to be illmatic. If that were the case, he woulda never released a single album after 1994. I am... was an amazing album, not a single half ass rhyme on the whole LP man.
I know that Nas is always wanting to move forward and not go back and Stillmatic was moving forward from illmatic, it Was Written was too.
and i aint talking bout the rhymes, they were written well as always, im talking bout the style and rhyming flow that isnt amazing. he has a few good points on the album but nothing special.
Illmatic, Stillmatic, etc are NaS spitting flow thats heavy and original. This here just seems half ass compared to naS at his best
i agree that illmatic, it was written, lost tapes, and stillmatic had better flow...but thats because those albums were not only classic but genius (esp illmatic)...thats almost impossible to duplicate. This album is still a whole lot better than most people's shit out there.
my FAVORITE SONG off of this ALBUM ..

Another hot track from Nas..this is a must have album. This was one of the best tracks. Nas needs to come back and bring back the real shit, b/c today's Hip Hop is nothing but commercial.

lyrics are dope but the beat don't fit him at all.
i'm a nas fan but this song is not that good n not him. he is rapping too fast and that is not his style.
songs like this is why people said he fell off. how you go from nyc state of mind to this ? i know he was trying to be creative but he don't even sound like nas on this track.

same, i agree with you, i dont feel this track. its just not Nas. and it contradicts his album 'i am..' and this track isnt him.
iamirshehu 2 years ago
yo you are crazy baltimoreblitz16. Nas is an ORIGINATOR. Hes one of the few lyricist that can actually do something different and make it hot. This song is what made rapping fast hot in NY, and like every NEW thing that Nas does, it works.
Who wrote a song backwards? Nas
Who wrote a song a gun? Nas
Who wrote a verse as a prison cell? Nas
"Shoot Em Up" creative 1st verse: Nas
"One Mic" slow and calm, to upbeat and loud: Nas
Nas is true hiphop, hes an ORIGINATOR, and it works great

I thought it was kool g rap or kane that started that in around 1990-91........ When was this album released?

@romainelettuce2
They may have started it, idk, I wasnt around during the kool g rap and big daddy kane era of hip hop. But Nas definitely helped make it mainstream and something that others followed. I just like the uniqueness of alot of Nas's work. And he does it while still having a meaning behind his music, whether it be the hood, God, or something else. Nas always has a message in his music, and he's not afraid to say whats on his mind.

NaS flows on i Am and Nastradamus were all half ass. This style of rhyming shouldnt pop out NaS' mouth, this is below the styles on song that made Illmatic, Stillmatic, It Was Written and Lost Tapes so amazing
kosg90 2 years ago
shut the fuck up. The point of this album is that its NOT supposed to be illmatic. If that were the case, he woulda never released a single album after 1994. I am... was an amazing album, not a single half ass rhyme on the whole LP man.
mariusbleek 2 years ago 20
I know that Nas is always wanting to move forward and not go back and Stillmatic was moving forward from illmatic, it Was Written was too.
and i aint talking bout the rhymes, they were written well as always, im talking bout the style and rhyming flow that isnt amazing. he has a few good points on the album but nothing special.
Illmatic, Stillmatic, etc are NaS spitting flow thats heavy and original. This here just seems half ass compared to naS at his best

@mariusbleek oh yeah, this one of my fav albums all time
jgk381 1 year ago
i agree that illmatic, it was written, lost tapes, and stillmatic had better flow...but thats because those albums were not only classic but genius (esp illmatic)...thats almost impossible to duplicate. This album is still a whole lot better than most people's shit out there.
