A new-ish track from Nas i picked up from the "2dopeboyz" site. It's an alright song, i still prefer the old "illmatic" album the most. None the lest, Nas is one of the G.O.A.T, and always will be. Even if his new stuff isn't as good as the old.
Nas - Who Are You (Prod. Eric Hudson)(2010)

@Soulfide yeah 2pacs very first album didn't have that stuff on it but the next album he released-- thug life volume 1 when he was with the group Thug Life. and your gonna tell me he wasn't about thug life early in his career?
mclovin435190 2 months ago
no he adapted because he was smart and those songs released after he died were songs Suge Knight had not released because he owned the rights to DeathRow records.... oh... and on a side note... Tupac's first album was about social issues.

@Soulfide i wouldn't say he changed i would say he experimented because if you look at the albums released after he died they weren't like all eyez on me. and im the one saying tupac never only rapped about thug life but he did throughout his career, just not exclusively. when you look at the songs from his early stuff a lot of them were about thug life he just never used the phrase "thug life".

@mclovin435190 and yes tupac did have a mix of songs about woman, cars, money, etc... but... how he presented those things and how he told it DID change and thats a huge reason why he was so successful because he was able to adapt!! you can't tell me the songs from deathrow sound like the songs from when he was dropping albums from interscope!!! he adapted!! if you want to bring insults at least back up some of it

@mclovin435190 don't act like like a child man.... everyone knows tupac adapted to the changing times and survived as an artist like I said... Shock G and digital underground helped tupac.. Tupac used to rap about being without money, small stories, things like that... and then all of a sudden "Thug Life".. Tupac wasn't always a thug or speaking about violent things man... your the one who doesn't know anything about anything...

@Soulfide and 2pac didn't change. did you ever meet him? did you have conversations with him? okay probably not so you wouldn't even fucking know him. he always had a good mix of songs about women, cars, money, etc. and songs about life and lessons and morals. its not like all eyez on me was the first time ever rapping about that shit so why don't you learn some and then comeback and comment

@Soulfide im not ignorant 2pac didn't change and nas didn't change. they might have used different flows and lyricism but each of them rapped about what they wanted to, they didn't change because of what people wanted to hear. if anything Nas changed to what people didn't want to hear, Nastradamus and Gods Son were both his 2 realest albums, as in not talking about running the streets and gunfights because Nas didn't do that shit.

@mclovin435190 when I say adapt and change I'm talking about just evolving as an artist look at Nas! illmatic, It was written, those are two different rap styles! they are not the same album, then all the way to streets disciple and such and such.Tupac is the same way, 2pacalypse Now, Strictly for my Niggaz... Me Against the World. "All eyes on Me" Tupac DID change and adapt thats how people grow.,if you think tupac was a straight Killah his whole career, you need to get your head out your ass.
