science and knowledge is better than bullshit any day
Nas is on a whole another level the lyrics were fire
This shit is what i’m talking about, this joint is like that dammn NAS, killed this joint. The lyric is crazy with substance, this is the real shit. If we really love hip hop we need to go out and buy his album. All the joints i’ve heard so far are dope. Mad respect to Nas..
#8 …….. goes to show how many people are blinded by the truths of the world. Only see whats on the outside but dont bother to research who controls shit!

^SPIN: You refer to MySpace and the New York Post in that song. It sounds like you did some fact-checking on Rupert Murdoch’s corporate holdings. Was that a matter of knowing thy enemy?
Nas: Yeah, if you’re gonna get into it with Fox News, then you gotta know about who owns it. Rupert Murdoch is a great business guy, and some of his shows are entertaining as hell.
To #8 “Think Before You Speak” while it can be true that fox news is more conservative, and other networks are not exactly like fox that DOES NOT MEAN that don’t bullshit too. Anybody and any network can distort the truth.
And To # 16, you don’t have to like Nas thats on you but you can’t say people don’t listen or like him. He has been revel ant in Hip Hip for as long as Tyga and Soulja Boy have been alive. He was nineteen when he started and called the best lyricist now he’s just 34. No disrepect to either of them they did there thing but Nas’s career cant be truly compared to there 1 year of music.
this is what i am talking about and to the person on here talking about Nas age? what for? once again Hip Hop is the only culture that stresses a nigga’s age what for? Nas been in the game since 91 dummies… Like it was stated earlier you don’t have to like his music but you have to respect the man’s work… but i guess when you let the media brainwash your simple minds thinking that those buffoonery artists are hot that means the media did their job in regards to you believing that the shit is hot.. When nigs learn to do their history of things in general then they would have a better understanding what live is about.
i understand what the kid is trying to do with this diss, i just don’t understand what he thinks he’s gonna get out of it?
yeah bill orielly(?) is a grouchy fuck and the post constantly disrespects the rappers but dissing them wont make them like rap anymore then they do now.
If you a true Hip Hop fan…please…tell every1 you kno to buy Nas’s new album… there wud be nuthin better in this world than to see Nas sell more records than Weezy F. Garbage….4real…Real Hip Hop iz In Effect…Who’s wit it?
#8….here…..funny…nas is dope i didnt challenge that but lets talk Nas vs Cormega? Nas, same beef with LIBERAL media,,,,thats the problem,,,,,,,u as fans listen to everything the artist speak,,,,,lets break it down like this,,,,,Nas talks about oil….lol…..NAS is all about FREEENTERPRISE but trys to get u dumbfucks to relate,,,,NAS,,, tax-bracket is so high, the blunt your smoking cant get as high!!!!!!!! Since, NAS deals with the facts,,,,,,,he spoke of OIL,,,,,,,,,Please understand,,,,,OPEC gets 80% of the profit! And thats being generous!!!!Tel NAS to deal with BALANCE SHEETS!!!He knows what that means! HERE are some facts as hiphoppers we are not taught becuz RAPPERS like NAS wanna be hood but live in a life we cant relate to!!!
Here is April 2008 data from the Energy Information Agency the Official Energy Statistics for the United States Government. The information is slightly dated and reflects the cost components at $3.46 per gallon of gasoline – 73% cost for Crude, 10% for Refining, 6% for Distribution and Marketing, and 11% for Taxes (Federal and State). You can find the link at http://tonto.eia.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesal.asp.
this is real! blame fox or bush~ but the middle east makes 80% of what u pay at the pump,,,,,,,,deal with facts not emotions,,,,,,,,,,,,
oh by the way,,,,HiHop fans are like the KKK!!!!One sided! Comparing FOXNEWS to CNN is funny! Im from america, and CNN is ANTI-United States where FOX is pro, America!!!!!!!!!Dumbfucks, read between the lines!!!!!! MYSPACE AND YOUTUBE COMPARED TO FOX,,,,,,,,,utube annd myspace is so liberal to do what the FUCK u want makes no sense,,,,,,,utube and myspace u its ur freedom to do what u want,,,,so, nas, wants that to be cenSORED,,,,,the same company that sensored his CD where he cant say NIGGER,,,,the left,,,,,CBS, said he cant use NIGGER,,,,,,,not FOX,,,FOX,,,,pointed the fax out!!!! HE CANT USE NIGGER CUZ DEF JAM SAID SO,,,,,DUMBFUCKS,,,,,,,,hollywood controls ur vision and the left controls FM radio,,,,,,AM is run by the right,,,,,,this shit is so simple!!!!!!make the music and if the fans dont purchase it,,,,ur a flop………LOL….
#16 you are VERY IGNORANT!!!!!!!! I think you’re really in search of attention and we’re stupid enough to give it to you, so I guess you win. However, I must ask you, exactly what is it you’re interested in hearing???????????? Gold ropes, why is that important, if he wants to wear them that’s of no consequence right now. Nas isn’t spitting anything new to the mases that’s aware, but it’s good to send the message out in this form. Nas is more SUBSTANCE less filler!
Ladies and gentleman here’s the greatest rapper alive period right here.. don’t let the media/radio brainwash your head that popularity and record sales = greatest rapper.
This one’s at #8:
You point out the liberal bias of some stations (which has actually been contested by a number of content studies by major research institutions) and falsely move from this point to the conclusion that there is no point of comparison between them and Fox. This is simply fallacious reasoning at its finest–a comparison is generally just pointing out a similarity amidst differences. Even if I grant you the great differences in political orientation that you say exist, I can compare the sensationalist tripe spewed by both networks (Obama swearing on the Quran and going to a Madrassa for example [both of which are COMPLETE lies]). In CNN’s defense, however, they AT LEAST sent a reporter to check on this supposed Madrassa (which turned out to be a public school which also taught about Christianity and Buddhism and never pushed a religious doctrine).
Ultimately, the point of the song is that Fox has changed the way media works-and not for the better-by trying to make it nothing more than entertainment. In the ratings game, truth takes a distant second to cash–and that’s the connection between Fox and the other media giants. Fox has changed the landscape into something that panders to the ignorance of its viewers so as to increase cash flow–regardless of truthful content.
Honestly, #8, your claims of who is pro-America and who is anti-America fall apart. Even if it were the case that CNN were against CURRENT US policy and direction, that wouldn’t make them anti-American. Unless of course you’re willing to admit that Fox was anti-American eight years ago (since you seem to see some obvious conservative/liberal dichotomy among ALL the news stations).
And really, it is this kind of non-issue (YOU’RE UNAMERICAN! THAT MEANS I DON’T HAVE TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY!) that covers up any sensible dialog in this country. Maybe if you had done a little bit more thinking and a little bit less talking your name and your posts would make some sense.
Watch Nas perform the song on The Colbert Report, preceded by Colbert’s usual humorous yet ironically truthful bit on Fox’s activities.
Hate “liberals” and the “liberal media” if you like, but Fox IS and HAS gone over the line, and hundreds of thousands agree, and they agree in writing.
