nas is a legend and the orginal king of NY i don’t think any track he’s made was truly as wack as the shii on the radios these days.

This song is nice but I still think the track listing ain’t that great for a Nas greatest hits album and there are better songs than this one that should be put on his greatest hits.

This song is fire….straight up…..

But who the hell picked his track listing for his Greatest Album? Whoever picked those songs should get shot!!!!

He had some bangers over his career……this album isnt representing that…..the verse on Raekwons Cuban Link Album is hotter than any guest verses from any MC in our times today…..straight up

I’m tripping cause I just watched the WIZ on TV1. Chris came through wit the Nipsey Russell joint. If ya’ll don’t realize, the best mc alive took you on a ride through his life. He’s the 2nd best storyteller in hip-hop history(given respect to Slick Rick). I’ve got to put him above BIG cause of the limited work that we’ve heard from BIG. I’m still trippin that Chris Webber did the track. He did the one song on HHID that I didn’t care for. A definite banger!
LEA Says:
October 5th, 2007 at 5:40 pm

# 32 aka boogz your a dumb fuck

Dumbass It was written is a great album, the general public said so, its regarded as almost classic or classic by most people, go check the ratings out lil nigga. I am is also a good album that went double platinum kid. Step your hip hop game up and go listen to all of nas’s cd’s before you talk about shit. You dont listen to music, u just skim through it.

Go listen to it was written. dont talk about things u know nothing about.

nas is da all time king of ny this nigga continually keeps niggaz tuned in lyrically just not off of business ventures like jay and 50 respect nas im coppin dat greatest hits album nov 6th support nasir jones mayne…
white boy Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 6:09 am
number 35, and 39, ya must be some coke head mothafucka sniffing that shit. nas is very good with his lyric and i give him prop for that.but he not the king of NYC for the simple fact that it seem that he doesn’t take hiphop serious anymore. i mean any time he come out with a album it very good. but to be honet with ya he not a consistent rapper. and he not consistent with his album. now if you had said ‘hov’ ok then ill believe you. because ‘hov’ is a consistent rapper who been bring out album after album. and when it come to the money the richest rapper i got to give it to hov and say that he the king of NYC. even when it to album jay is more consistent then nas. not even that to me it doesn’t matter how good of an hiphop artist you are even with lyric. but if your not consistent in hiphop then that mean that your not hungry for hiphop. and it show you don’t care for hiphop period….and i feel that nas is not hurgry for hiphop nor consistent.

Emissary Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 10:11 am
“he doesn’t take hiphop serious anymore”

he titled an album “Hip-hop Is dead” if he wasn’t serious then he would have put out some commercial bullshit for YOUR listening pleasure.

“bring out album after album”

This doesn’t mean your better then someone just because you keep putting out an album every two months you never heard of QUALITY OVER quantity.

“the richest rapper”

who gives a fuck about the money espcially since they ain’t giving YOU none plus 50 got money too but he is one of the worst fucks to every come near a mic,do us all a favor and re-think this.

“to me it doesn’t matter how good of an hiphop artist you are even with lyric”

you just proved your not smarter then a 3rd grader how can Lyrics mean nothing to you let me help you SWAG & IMAGE should mean nothing since it’s bullshit NAS has storytelling,Wordplay, lyrical prowess, and much much more these are whats important, (stop cranking it kid
your losing)

“consistent in hiphop then that mean that your not hungry for hiphop”

you wanna shout about being consistnet but you don’t know the essence of it NAS HAS BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE 1992 (Halftime) now thats consistent white hiphop fans always wanna act like they know somethin but don’t(still not a racist though)
The coldest producers ever!!!! Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 10:24 am
So Chris Webber did his thing. Yeah the track is hot but its only his second joint. Don’t give no one a reason to bust out of rehab too soon & start celebrating. We don’t wanna hear it. Nas is cool but Jay-Z is still the king of New York. Could u please post the pics of Nas & Chris Webber & the ladies at Nas birthday party.
That Nigga Gutta Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 10:38 am
Since when did Real Talk New York become a Nas fan site? Its a cool song & Nas came thru on this one but Nas hasn’t really delivered like he did on Illmatic thats why he’s always gonna be 10th to Hov. Hov comes through everytime. As for Chris Webber & his Track Ratz they actually produced a hot one this time around but there’s no need to get all crazy like chicks that be in a japanese restaurent eatin sushi. Chris Webber is not the only producer in the game. Be easy.
santana Says:

this is hot bee word nas alway come back hard
white boy Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
number 45, and 47, are some wack asses that don’t no shit about music… nas is a very good hiphop artist with great lyric but he not consistent in hiphop… that whats fuckin him up period.
Emissary Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
“Nas hasn’t really delivered like he did on Illmatic”

WOW go listen to It Was Written, AND THE 5 mIC album STILLMATIC

“Hov comes through everytime”

yeah he really did on Kingdom Come (fuck out of here)

“Chris Webber is not the only producer in the game”

yeah but it’s refreshing to see how shocking look good this beat that an NBA player made….besides I’m tired of rappers saying “I got a track from Scott Storch, Tone & Dre, Timberland” and a whole buch of other fucks that everyone else is using.

banks Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
White boy is right though. Im a nas fan, and # 49 is a herb ass nigga, this has always been a 50 cent fan site, not a nas fan site, there are hardly nas posts, look at all the 50 stans on this site. And 49 it was written and Stillmatic were classics so nas was as good as illmatic on those albums. Its just like jay z wiill never makes another album better than Reasonable doubt and 50 cent weill never make another album as good as Get Rich or Die trying. Everyones first album is almost always their best, and highest point. For 50 I should say, his first album with dre and em cause he had albums before Get rich.

But white boy is kinda right though, he aint dissing nas, nas has skills, he is canidate for goat, he can match jay z skill wise any day. White boy was just saying nas was not consistant on some of his albums, thats all, and its true.

white boy Says:

This site is called real talk New York. Hov is the King of New York & even 50 cent will co-sign for that. Nas fell off since he married Kelis like 50 cent said. Nas is not relevent anymore like 50 cent said again. Chris Webber can produce we get that but don’t get all ab’ed out on us like he the only nigga bringin the heat. Word up i can’t believe you posted this on here too. Hov held it down six summers, where’s the love??
Them Taylor Made Niggas!!!! Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Damn you niggas act like its Chris Webber’s fault that he can play ball & produce. Y’all need to get off that shit. Atleast you niggas finally admitted he was a hot producer. Now everybody know Nas one of the best lyricist alive. Nas sick with the pen. Y’all can keep playing hypeman for the nigga Hov but Nas do be puttin out classic albums. Hip Hop is Dead seemed like it aint get no support from the label to us. Thats what messed up his sales. Chris Webber do need to retire & get serious with this music. He need to get his own label cause he got money & get us outta this fucked up deal. Nelly aint gon put us out. Niggas stop hatin on the nigga C-Webb he aint choose y’all’s chicks yo chics chose him. TMF til the death. Know that! & don’t be hidin behind no yankees symbols so niggas won’t who u is.
white boy Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
what fuck up nas sales was him not being consistent…hov is one of the best period.
Gube Thug of Taylor Made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Didn’t nobody say How wasn’t one of the best. Tupac is the greatest period & I was reading Chris Webber blog on his myspace & it looks like he producin on the next Tupac tribute album. Now I know other niggas aint so they probably salty & shit. All I’m sayin is Chris Webber be killin it on the tracks. He came thru like everybody said so why everybody gotta bring up they hoop dreams for? Chris Webber got some hit tracks period. Give the man his respect thats all. He a hot producer like Demi, Blaze & everybody else. So lets keep it strictly music. Nas & Hov are legends too but y’all aint gotta keep dissin Nas cause u pumpin up Hov. They both some tight MC’s.

October 6th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
nas is just boring .. he’s a great rapper no doubt.. but his not an entertainer.. so he’s jus not exciting and that’s y he probably doesn’t sell as much as a rapper with his lyricism and talent should.. jay-z and 50 on the other hand have more charisma and swag..so their fans want morethan music and that’s why they sell more.. jus my opinion. anyways it’s an alright song
Pounce Says:

Malik Sata Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
I’m with everybody else the sample & that track is crazy hot son. I think Chris Webber should retire so he can bring that new fresh & hot shit to the hip hop game. I got mad love for Jay-Z but lyrically Nas killin everybody. His songs are like movies.
Zuri Says:
October 6th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
I think Chris Webber’s america’s next top producer, cause that beat sounds so goooooddd in my ears right about now!
