@GDPakaCHUKKA yea nas is my favorite rapper also..but try big krit, u would enjoy his music.. try this song called children of the world, and a song called small as a giant
"It's becoming unbearable making hits is easy put a famous bitch on the hook there you go with a platinum CD" its so true especially with music these days
@ballin4life23 If the famous b___h is so unbearable, forget your dreams of platinum CDs 'til you don't need one. There's your answer - or bear it for what - the MONEY right! Sometimes it not what you say its what you don't say!
Nas is just different. Lyrically, emotionally, spiritually.
Even the time signature of this isn't 4/4 like in 99% of rap; rather, it's 6/8, and the fact that Nas can still make it work whilst still communicating his message sets him a world apart from his contemporaries.
luv u nas why you go wit that crazy girl kelis u woulda been bette rof with a white girl from the hood who obsessed bout u since i wasd 13... had ur pic in a red velvet frame.... 4 real while i was a teen still luv u and luv ur lost tape album.... bless u nas u r the BEST!!!!!
People believe in that chain txt love of they life pass it or or die more than the message of this song. Any ways I liked when Jesus said heaven is at hand or within reach and then people would straight up get healed from there diseases. Great job Kelly black and nas great song

PUT THIS ON ATLEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTESWHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
@perezmj nope... 6/8. bass on 1 snare on 4 so it gives a duple meter feel. in order for it to be 3/4 it would have to have primary beats on 1, 3, and 5.... in which case youd just call them 1, 2, and 3
what if heaven was a mile away and rap had true meaning like the old days and people wasent dying for no reason and lil boys and girls wasent going to sleep hungry what if the people with power helped the working man what if freedom was something we didnt have to pay for and crys of pain was turned in to happieness and every kid had a father to look up to if heaven was a mile away a mother wouldnt sell herself to watch her kids grow up with hope and greatness for the future if only heaven was
among my top 5 Nas songs! can't believe a few weeks ago I was mad at myself cuz I broke my "God's Son" CD and cudn't play this song... then a few weeks later I actually met Jully Black @ Starbucks on the way home from school. Crazy.
@Noma1212 Not true and they are 2 totally dif type of Artist- you should compare nas to the likes of Pac and Rza,.....You compare Jayz to Big and Rae/GFK
i dont know why im even responding to this... but NONE of JAY-Z songs and stand up to ANY of NAS SONGS?
Is the most ridiculous statement ive seen in a very long time! omg! Go listen to any song Reasonable Doubt and compare that to the bullshit on NASTRADAMAS! lmao... I hope you've grown in your musical maturity since you posted this nonsense a year ago. Nas is a dope artist tho and So is Jay.
I don't hate oj juiceman nor gucci mane because of their money and fame becuase i know that won't affect my life. The truth be told, they are the reason why hip hop is dead. Nas Pac and many old rapper are needed back in music industry.
All you fools arguing need to do it somewhere else, not while this song is playing in the background. You all need to shut the fuck up and enjoy the beautiful music playing! If you listen closely you might learn something. To all the other people enjoying the lyrics of nas and this meaningful song, One Love!
Heaven is closer than you think . Because we are caught up in the material objects we cant see the spiritual ...... You only have to look inside to see heaven .... God is within and not to be found outside ....
nah homie, I know who Im looking at, I'm talking about whose singing the song. The title of the vid says Nas & Jully Black. I'm certain that Ashanti is not the person singing the hook (I really hope that you don't think thats her singing) and Im pretty sure that its Mary J. Blidge and not Jully Black. This is not an official vid
yeah bro..its jully black. its an ashanti video though...anyhu, i was just clownin bro...=). yeah she dus sound like MJB but i think MJ's voice is a tad bit stronger...anyhu..its all good
Dear brother: Life has not been the same since you and my moms left. At time i get mad lonley kid. Althoguh i love my lady . Kid: I miss the child hood love man.. Is been hard G. Ill keep fighting though. And with you blessings i hope to get accepted to law school in Feb.....I miss ya man. Ask God to let you come see me sometime kid...1
