man, nas is the best rapper that ever did it man. look how poetic this dude is! Look how he tellin the story about him being alone by himself period, because of his success! His friends close to him are jealous
@timpa666 well, all humans came from Africa. and Egypt is a huge source of how most religions started, including Christianity, got all their stories and ideas from the Egyptian religion of worshiping the sun.
my precious baby gurl, came like forty nights of rain, to replenish, my adolescent(?)brain, blessed be here name, before here birth, i was insane.... Nas, thank you....your truth, my truth,street knowlidge.... im tattooing this, thats how connected i feel to these lines... again thank you for putting these words together the way you did, they hit me hard
i've met Nas after a concert he gave in Amsterdams heineken music hall. he might sound like a bastard on tape but he's a really kind man. and you can just see in his eyes how much he's been through in his life before he became famous.
I think even if Nas wasn't a MC. He would be super successful somehow just because he's a damn genius. The way he puts songs together is like inhuman.
drunk by myself is classic, the flow is dope, he sounds amped like when your drunk vperales, you should use your ears next time, nas is the best lyricist ever
Dude is u serious, maybe u not hearing the same song I'm hearing. Everthing he saying go with the beat. Nigga please this shit is classic, get the fuck off this page, you sound stupid right now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man this is freestyle not music and ns kinda suck's i mean what he saying don't go with the beat i know music and this aint music im sorry you need to be teach more how to rap and not freestyle and this time make it go with the beat.
its ma bday today:D my basement lady brought my a mick of some nice whisky..so ima end the night wit some shots to this song after a nice spliff of kush...nas is king
This is one of those songs you ride out at night to when somebody pissed you off.............I don't drink and drive, but if I did, this would definitely be the soundtrack.
being honest here...everyone i know that drinks more than once or twice a year drinks and drives. it's sad but true, if a certain plant were legalized i think alot less people would drink excessively...im just sayin.
@ACE330 Actually, he was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana and the charges were eventually dismissed. There is a HUGE difference between driving drunk and driving under the influence of marijuana...
Yo God, I totally disagree with you there. Listen and read between the lines, Nas really is a lyrical wordsmith. In fact, Nas is one of the few artists who writes songs instead of bullshit mixtapes that don't really mean shit today. Just my opinion God nothing against you but I see what you saying. Often times Nas goes off in the deep end and makes you think. I feel that's the problem with Hip-Hop today, everything is repeatitive as oppose to orginiality!
all blackmen are not gods so dont be sayin that stupid shit... u just sound dumb saying God.... The only reason you 5%ers say that with your racist bullshit is cause u think all you coons are gods when your not....
I truly hope I will one day meet face to face with nas just to let him know how much his artistry has inspired me, the man is a genius and I only pray that he never stops creating music.
this song is sick the lost tapes is def one of the best albums i hate when ppl say lil wayne is the best rapper alive how could he b the best rapper alive 1 his wack and 2 nas is alive
yup. he imagines alot of it too. thers a song where he talks about when he smokes weed he envisions being a bird and flying over new york seeing shit to like write about.
The Lost Tapes is such an inspirational album. its by far the most inspirational and motivational material i`ve ever came across..
i used to bump this whenever it gets heavy, i still do whenever times get rough.
thank you Nas, you probably dont have any ideas on how much your music move the masses, especially us Africans. your music keeps us going. God bless you and Africa.
you ppl saying this the realest shit coz you know how it is right? also it defently iis!
"the reason that i want to be alone tired of all the things that went wrong if i were to do them on my own, take another swig, the more i think bad thoughts, fake friends who want to bring you down, thats why the bottles my accomplice,!"
Nas iz da realest nigga out there...Juz like how Prodigy said 'Put my whole life between these papers lines' Nas puts himself out there 4 u 2 hate him or luv him
"i ate from this poisonous fucked up street/
tasted larceny, it was sweet i starved for more to eat"
Another hot one from Nasir Jones with a nice Scarface reference on the second bar......
