I was disappointed…he didnt talk bout lollipops,rims,hoes,how much money he has,and no voice coder hook. All that song talked about was about being true to urself & rapping about things that meaningful no matter what the label say……….LOL,Rappers/Trappers better hurry up and come out before July 15th.

This shit gives me the chills
KEEP EM COMIN ESCO!
June 7th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Yo, Nas is really lettin yall know whats up. He didnt make MTV’s top 10, but him and Black Thought of the Roots has been my #1 and #2 favorite rappers for the past 10-12 years, every year, hands down. I’m glad Nas is back to claim his title as the most prolific lyricist that we have today. That hiatus had us worried. Hip Hop is Dead was a dope album (minus that wack Chris Webber beat). I know “Untitles/Nas/Nigger” is gonna be raw cause he’s still saying what nobody else dares to put in their verses. Who the fuck mentions Billy Dee Williams these days? Nas, thats who! Who the fuck is giving us a history lesson with every track they release? Nas, thats who! All the hiphop fans who know how to read, can count blessings and struggles instead of money, understand society, and respect the Black man’s worth in America need Nas in the industry. When he retires, this culture is gonna retire along with him cause we haven’t faced another artist to this day that can deliver the message that only God’s Son can.
June 7th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Nas is the truth fu#k mtv bet and their top 10 lists
guess we all know who the prophet of hip hop isss
June 7th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U PUT NAS ON A GOOD BEAT!! HOPEFULLY HE HAS MORE GOOD PRODUCTION ON THE ALBUM!!
June 7th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Don’t take this track for granted, Greatness is defined in it. Its not a beat, its a composition and Nas lyrics and style match it flawlessly. This is what real music heads been waiting for without any doubt. East met south and blended well. Its not just any New York nigga on a southern track. Its more. This is the anti laffy taffy but all should like it and I might just turn the tide back to good music. It too great to be passed up, Its radio friendly so request it. Ima Club DJ in the south thats from the south and this track will cross regions. Nas said hip hop was dead, now he took it apon hisself to bring it back. One of the greatess hip hop songs of all time hands down.
June 7th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Nas killed this shit..QB is in the house
June 8th, 2008 at 3:06 am
fire.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Where is all the nas haters now??????????
nas is back this track is the best hip hop track of the year so far and I think he can follow it up with the best album of the year aswell like all his other albums this will go platinum.
This track is amazing he back in his Esco mode with this track all the tracks that have leaked have been dope so far the new Busta collabo is sounding dope aswell.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:35 am
THIS IS WHAT NAS NEEDED TO DROP! STRAIGHT FIRE..CERTIFIED CLASSSIIIIIC!! THANK YOU NAS.
Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason
Can’t leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in
So in God’s Son we trust
‘Cause they know I’m gonna give ‘em what they want
They looking for . . . a hero
I guess that makes me . . . a hero
Another chapter of the cleanest rapper
Distinguished gentlemen
Crooks and castle on his back
Maybach-er, exotic lady eye-catcher
Holla at’cha, call me the chiropractor
Work ya like Muay Thai class
Get perspire out ya
And of course I’ve been the boss since back when
Rocking D Boy, Fila, velour in 190 black Benz
Now they shut down the stores when I’m shopping
Used to be train robbing, face covered in stocking
I’m him
Rubber grip-holder, reloader
Come at me I’ma rip your soliders in half
Silverback ape, nickle-plated mag
Young, rich, and flashy
Young, b!tch, I’m nasty
All black clothes til ice lay on me so classy
And every time I close my lids
I can still see the borough, I can still see the Bridge
I can still see the dreams that my niqqas ain’t never lived to see
Tell them angels open the door for me
From nine berettas and moving raw
To chilling in wine cellars
Sticks and humidors
That’s what I call mature
That’s what I call a g
That’s what I call a pimp
That’s what I call a gangsta
To the fullest, sh!t
I try to make more cream
By every September 14th, that’s my dream
So I can be more clean, as I grow yearly
I can see things more clearly
That’s why they fear me
This universal apartheid
I’m hog-tied, the corporate side
Blocking y’all from going to stores and buying it
First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
But Newsweek article startled big wigs
They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can’t sing what’s in their soul
So untitled it is
I never change nothin’
But people remember this
If Nas can’t say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can’t spit
I can’t sit and watch it
So, sh!t, I’ma drop it
Like it or not
You ain’t gotta cop it
I’m a hustler in the studio
Cups of Don Julio
No matter what the CD called
I’m unbeatable, y’all

Yo, What this shit is great, real rapper/artis. Raper learn something from this nigga,
June 10th, 2008 at 7:30 am
god damn!
June 10th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
This is a perfect song. Some of y’all are taking this for granted. Hip Hop needs this, rap that makes a statement, rap that has the audacity of hope. Different forms of hip hop met in the middle and it workes. We know its Not Premo, 9th, RZA or even Dre, its Polow, face it, the man can produce. At least he tryin to help turn the tide with this epic composition. Beats uplifting, Keri sounds like a Angel and Nas Lyrics are truly uncontested. Its like a old feel with new energy. Nas saying “hip hop is dead” is a bigger controversy than “Nigger”. Because he might have been right. Well at least his hip hop was dead. Now he is a “Hero” ressurecting the art he helped popularize. Pure Genius. I hope it get a billion spins! Stop Hating, because it might just help the cause.
