[xixad]

@diegotchissola thanks man. you know what it says?

[feargardz]

illmatic is a masterpiece, cannot make a better album, but this album is phenominal! thank you god for Nas & Damian Marley <3

[1paisavadaumuie1]

9 people are racists.



[MozZzareLLo]

Libya , America , France , England ... Doesn't know how to be friends 

[kaospider5]

This entire album is awesome! I nearly stopped sifting through the dregs of hip hop when I stumbled across this. I am so glad that I did. It has everything that defines great hip hop: a point, sharp lyrics, great production, and even the hook is on point. All of this without one reference to champagne, cars, or hos. Who knew that was even possible?

[1ceb0xcfbl]

@kaospider5 Me. Almost 90% of Romanian underground Hip-Hop is not about champagne, cars nor hos.

[WOOGIE258]

@kaospider5 large reference to money though/ and hoes is spelled Hoes not hos///

[jcknthbx]

@kaospider5 indeed. glad you found these words.

[MrBingo507]

@kaospider5 Its called weed broo that stuff makes you more than curious! haha :P

[inputbroos113]

[christ0925]

[CSSHirschQ]

[screanzato1]

[bboyflex911]

big respect from south africa

[Terminal2k1]

I shot the sheriff

[rumbapsych]

the sampled tune is "Undenge Uami" by David Zé, from Angola. there's a video here at youtube

[rumbapsych]

The tune that is sampled sounds like a tune from Angola that I heard on a comp.

[Trumblebee]

does anyone know the name of the song they sampled on this track?

[aaoppe]

Even without the high, this track is just purely hypnotic. Seriously, close your eyes.

[bonkermcsteelo]

so i really want to start my own radio station cuz i would play some real shit. so damian marley isnt the best singer in the world. fuk it. i would rather have a real raw voice than the annoying autotuned shit of a pop singer whom the only instrument that they can play is a computer

[MrMegaGigaTeraPeta]

OH JAH, I'M SO HIGH RIGHT NOW!

[isamsumsi]

@MrMegaGigaTeraPeta im so high right now when i just read your coment :D XaxaxxaxaxAxAXAxaxaxa RESPECT FROM Bulgaria '"Музика от душата за душата'' -

[thastorlol]

Just dont

[ScofieldZxZ]

In about a month they're in holland, giving their concert. Legal to smoke weed during it. Im so happy im going to the concert:D

Peace from Holland

[cakazada]

@ScofieldZxZ they also are coming in April 2 Portugal, wich also will have legalized ganja smoke on the concert, alltough not legalized at all......

[ScofieldZxZ]

@cakazada Awesome:)

[MrHakaiDo]

Nowadays everyone can call themselves artists and musician, they both deserve it though.

[dariusz3000]

1 good reason for not liking it, nas is a joker now. who has no where near the level of meaningfull material anymore to be on a colab album with damian..... maybe he coulda graced a few trackes n got away with it but he dnt warrent a duet album

[NoFukinNamesLeft]

@dariusz3000 I agree about Nas he has help to let main stream hiphop die. But whats wrong with colabs this is by far my favourite album on 2010

[vap3oneM3S]

@NoFukinNamesLeft .. mainstream hip hop sucks....they got all these wack emcees now, not even emcees, they are fucking retards...nas didnt let main stream die, he said fuck it. id rather make real music ... so thats what he does, and his collabo with Damian is the shit...this is real music. .. .

[RootsLife100]

@dariusz3000 How dare you! Nas is one of the illest Mc's in the game. There ain't no mc that could fuck with him.. Nowadays hip hop is full of hype and bullshit and made up of mostly marketing and the perception that if a rapper is not being gangster then he has no street cred. That my friend is bullshit!!!!!! it's not about street cred F--- that It's always is and always has been about music!!!! and all these current rappers forget that!

[shonha1]

@dariusz3000 Wtf homie, did u not comprehend HipHop Is Dead, I mean he had the whole game in an uproar b/c of that album, did u not understand the Nigger album or u just didn't bother to listen, Nas been a rebel his whole career even during his Mafioso era he would still interject jewels, listen to Silent Murder, matter of fact go listen to What Goes Around, Ghetto Prisoners, I Want To Talk To U, that's the reason Zilla worked wit him on Road To Zion nd DR, real recognize real

[s1vas]

so true words!

real friends dont change

[doysote]

africano

[str8OuttaNaptown30]

What language is that at the beginning and in the hook? Thanks

[R2C25]

@str8OuttaNaptown30 It's a dialect from Angola I don't know the name of it though.

[fitty737]

paece in africa jah bless

[nigadje]

ANGOLA SAMPLE

[RootsLife100]

This Just Might be the wickedest track on the album in my opinion!!!!!

JAH BLESS!

[Jack11017]

@RootsLife100 it is sick man, but ya gotta listen to tribal wars if you havent. thats the best for me.... peace I&I jah

[Jaxmanable]

Kmaister skipping nas parts you dumb nas mad it hot!

[pnagbe]

Wow Nas has done it again.  i think this is his best work and Damian help him to execute this beautiful masterpiece. Zion Liberia one love

[1502stoopid]

@pnagbe have you heard illmatic goon?

[joking081]

@1502stoopid nas could never recreate illmatic

[YGoody88]

@pnagbe 'Nas done it again??' Damian produced most of this record. They did it TOGETHER.

[dadjidoo]

Wayne is on the album by the way ...

[kmaister]

jr.gong is the coolest motherfucker alive...and nas is good and everything but i just skip his parts of the song... love this album...

[jimyveture]

This is the only album 1 of a kind i know off.....best i know off..too poetic..too deep..n illuminating...blessed!

Wtf..can't believe..someone just disliked it.......

[ethiochamp]

i think youtube or whoever put up dislikes just so people argue and dont focus on the great music about love and friendship

[KhanSlayer]

Played it 3 times in a row

[aabosi]

i have no idea what damian marley is saying but hes still sick!!

[kizasosay007]

@wuebken did u just say nas has the best parts of the whole album? Wow u are the only man in the world to think that

[iheartmysmiter]

Heard this when I smoked my first GOOD jonny....♥

[TheEminemShow90]

Real friends don´t change! So true!

Thumbs up :)

[nittenthamayn]

So true homie

[kizasosay007]

@Californialove360 is what I'm saying disturbing u from hearing song?? Rookie

[kizasosay007]

@skyzofren973 I listen to music , if u want a message go to church, take nas off this album and he wouldn't be missed, see what happens when u take jr.gong off album? Thats what I saying and u can't deny it, let nas thank the marleys for giving him one last chance for fame.......here we are....

[iambossman21]

@kizasosay007 If nas was not on this album, it would not be what it is. Mr marley offers the flava of roots that has a presence within the music that is undeniably brilliant. whereas Nas offers a legacy, much more than words. He represents entire Hip Hop culture, the real culture - further more he represents world culture. Each artist brings something different into the mix, i understand you comment fully though. peace brother

[razordaave]

@iambossman21 Couldn't have said it better myself

[RelaxednCaIm]

@kizasosay007

i agree to some point, this album is more like jr.gong project that heavily features nas. but nas didn't do this album for fame. if he wanted to a colab album for fame he would have done it with jay or eminem.

[wuebken]

@kizasosay007 nas has the best parts of the whole album... i think u r just deaf!!!

[SasoOfTheMuffinz]

@wuebken No, Damien Marley makes the album, hell he IS the album, nas is just there for the ride.

[obrad79]

@kizasosay007 if u not search mesage in music then why listening to this song that is all about mesage,if u want to listen meaningless music u can achieve that by listening to lady gayga,but since u are here am guesing that u want to hear real music that have some sence and brings powerful mesage,couse this whole album is one powerful mesage,and this album wouldnt be same without Nas or without Damian

[raspberry10000]

Nice one!!

[raspberry10000]

Nice one

[lakersownsuns]

thank u damian marley and thank u nas... for coming together and producing some of the greatest music ever made.

nas + damian marley = pure golden sounds

[pierrelevtchenko]

the whole album is siiiick,thats real music

[omegatrini22]

because of hatred, opportunity wasted.... nah mean

[DanielGrantOfficial]

only reason to not like this is a racist reason

[MissingTime1]

@DanielGrantOfficial What happens if a black guy doesn't like this? I guess they're the self-hatin kind? The only reason I can see people who dislike this, is because they have different tastes in music. Liking music is purely about what you enjoy, an opinion on what is 'good'

[TheSeriousWhite]

@DanielGrantOfficial that is not true at all. I dont listen to most new music these days cause it is horrible. not because of the artists skin color. I love heart felt music like this, it would be the same for me if a white, spanish, or chinese artist was performing. Some people just have no music sense.

[Jack11017]

@DanielGrantOfficial thats actually being prejudicious man...ppl - however strange it might be - might just dont like the vibe, they dont have to be babi nazis - Awesome song

peace!!

[Bullzzeyee]

@DanielGrantOfficial I love this song, but everything isnt about race. People who like hard metal or dance music or anything else and doesnt like this does not make them racist. Pretty racist from you to only target racism.

[jrlilpunk]

the beat of this song is amazing

[airstone2]

your real freinds are like your family

[iriegt]

this is a powerfull crossover album,nas gettin a pure message 2hiphop people,an j.tuff gong doin his concsious ting..nuttin like dis been made 4long time....bless up

[hilaryosei29]

THE SAFARI.IWAS AT THE SUMMERJAM LAST YEAR,AND I WILL 4EVER REMEMBER THE DAY.CHEERS TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrGrimey10]

Nas and Damian are fans of each other muzik so together they made a classic album!!!!

[ObiJoe808]

This is song has the exact same sentiment, subject matter and title as 'Friends' by Whodini, the difference is that this is a beautiful masterpiece where as Whodini's song is silly cheesy cheese!

What a pointless point to make!

[goldmn480]

6 people have no real friends

[PeterNurse]

anyone illegally downloading this album should be shot...twice...lol with a dose of intelligence

[teammalaya]

dude. damian marley and nas. coachella 2011... i'll sell my fucking body on the streets just to see them.

[skyzofren973]

@kizasosay007 First look at the title of the song!

Two look at the title of the album!

Three get yourself informed!

there is no competion when people are working for the same great goal.

listen and be inspired!

bless.

[dazebhen1]

i bet 990% of you dont know what the drawing is infront of you!!

[tomas007]

@dazebhen1 does it have to do with africa?

[dazebhen1]

@tomas007 10 points...good job

[kizasosay007]

Jr.gong made this album, nas was just a lucky passenger

[iAmAIive]

This is pure art.

[paldam101]

I saw them play last summer! One of the best concerts ever!!! Massive respect to the guy waving the Flag of Jamaica throughout the whole concert.

[fruitcakeasylum]

@paldam101 Both of them are coming down to perth for a music festival and im absolutely psyched to see them!

[paldam101]

@fruitcakeasylum Perth, Australia? You got something to look forward to! I saw them in Copenhagen. They lifted the roof and had a concert hall full of white folks (including me) marching on the way to Zion lol!

[paldam101]

@paldam101 Correction to myself: It was the flag of Zion the man was waving

[YounginTV]

too bad music on the radio can't be more like this
