Nas was great as always, but I’m sick of this beat. I’ve heard multiple rappers rapping over this for almost a decade now. I know Nas is fascinated with the whole underground scene, but I don’t want to hear a whole album of old J Dilla or MF Doom beats. Hopefully this is just something he was having fun with and this isn’t going to be an ongoing thing.
good song but i’m so sick of hearing dudes trying to pass off old dilla beats as a new song! song is only half new. and yeah good loop but not much else to it. not close to dillas best.
Yeah! Everything You Say Is In Error!
Nas Never fell off. Nas is willing to push his music and experiment in ways that your favorite mc isn’t. Keep listening to Young Berg and Silk the Shocker and leave good music to those of us who can appreciate it.
Y’all need to vote on these songs, man. Otherwise the dope, new Nas track gets a 4, and then some piece of shit by Rick Ross gets a 5. But there’s only one dude that votes each time….How can ten people comment, but none of them vote?
This is DOPE BUT I kinda like Jay Electronica’s version (abracadabra) a lil better lyrical which is quite ironic. The beat is bananas!!! On this u get the longer version of it compared to Jay Electronica’s version but for the life of me I like Jay’s better.
to ‘NY ESTATE………’, firstly, i’m from LONDON, UK. so we SAY ‘ting’, to mean ‘thing’!
secondly, and more importantly! the track’s released. so i’m judging it by what i’m HEARING!!! so if the sonics aren’t up to par, like a DR. DRE beat, that’s NOT my problem.
i like good sonics when i’m listening to music; not suttin’ (something) that sounds like a demo!
Nas is definitely the most consistently good rapper. Only Andre 3000 comes close to him in terms of consistent quality but 3K has disappeared yet again. Shout out to Nas for tryna sing the tune..it was good in a funny kimd of way.
Consistent? Everything in life is meant to change and evolve. Nas refused to do that, and that’s why he’s losing today, unable to pay his bills and his net worth being a meager $17 million, compared to the trash rappers out there that are making more. Nas didn’t change or “sellout” because of people like you who held him back from evolving. Jay-Z, as much as I don’t like him, said it best:
I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
They criticized me for it, yet they all yell “holla”
If skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be
Lyrically Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did 5 mill’ – I ain’t been rhyming like Common since
When your cents got that much in common
And you been hustling since your inception
Fuck perception. Go with what makes sense
I will always consider Dilla as one of the Top 4 producers in the genre, up there with Premo, Madlib and Pete Rock. Donuts wasnt his best work, i wish Nas would have rapped over the production from Dilla during the early 2000’s, those crazy drums that he use to bless our eardrums with. Imagine if there was an additional illmatic track produced by Dilla?
I rocked over this Dilla beat in like 2006, guess I was before my time LOL! But, it takes NAS (my favorite emcee by the way) to bring that beat to the forefront, as it should’ve been all along. Anyhow, I still think I did the beat justice. You can check it here if you wish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ny5oNv8uM
bout time
dope
“Gobstopper” beat, and Nas gives it justice. Great work.
The Poet Laureate of Queensbridge has returned!
KING

Yeah I always loved this Dilla beat!!!.. Both are GOAT!!!…we want more!!!!…
The greatest
DOPE
King of East Coast is back!
Great track. But the beat is kinda too much one loop. 😮
good song but i’m so sick of hearing dudes trying to pass off old dilla beats as a new song! song is only half new. and yeah good loop but not much else to it. not close to dillas best.
of course it isn’t new.. Dilla is dead, and has been dead for the past 8 years… Good job
Dope, Escobar season has returned
escobar season has return!!!!!!

Nas fell off BIG TIME after Illmatic
Good Night.
Yeah! Everything You Say Is In Error!
Nas Never fell off. Nas is willing to push his music and experiment in ways that your favorite mc isn’t. Keep listening to Young Berg and Silk the Shocker and leave good music to those of us who can appreciate it.
Nasty Nas we need this back

J dilla beats are crazy
King state of mind.
GOAT! Straight UP!
Y’all need to vote on these songs, man. Otherwise the dope, new Nas track gets a 4, and then some piece of shit by Rick Ross gets a 5. But there’s only one dude that votes each time….How can ten people comment, but none of them vote?
because the voting system is broken at HHDX for like the last week. hope they fix it soon.
Stillmatic 4 ever…Nasir Jones lyrical genius!
This weekend’s anthem!
Wow….awesome beat and great lyrics. RIP Dilla, Thank you Nas
Seasons of Nasir
Is that the new solo album?!!
Gotta add that the full version really expands upon the preview in all the right way. Classic.
Nice. Does this mean an album soon?
dope shizz bish
yo shit iz hella dope ,dude is a lyrical genius
This is DOPE BUT I kinda like Jay Electronica’s version (abracadabra) a lil better lyrical which is quite ironic. The beat is bananas!!! On this u get the longer version of it compared to Jay Electronica’s version but for the life of me I like Jay’s better.
You’re a faggot.
I agree, I prefer Jay Electronica’s so much more
this is cool
Little Brother, Jay Electronica, and Kendrick Lamar all used this beat as well but Kendrick killed it the best.
Nas the GOAT. I would take a bullet for him. REALEST EVER. INSPIRATION IN LIFE. GOD!!
dope!
Smoking an L to this on the balcony! Dope
Hard as F*ck!!!
NASTY NAS!!!!!!!! Post Life is Good. This is the purest growth in hip hop.
bout time someone killed this beat
This needs to be mixed down – the vocal and beat tempo are off, not to mention the balance.
Dope doper dopest
is it me or this seem like its not mixed well
decent track, but yeah. the SONICS isn’t exactly a like a DR. DRE ting.
is it me or does that reply seem like its not spelt right
TING haha get on your low horse
It’s not like Dilla could mix it
NO! the beat is like that, they worked with it. Jay Electronica picks beats like this and it’s mixed like this too……………..
to ‘NY ESTATE………’, firstly, i’m from LONDON, UK. so we SAY ‘ting’, to mean ‘thing’!
secondly, and more importantly! the track’s released. so i’m judging it by what i’m HEARING!!! so if the sonics aren’t up to par, like a DR. DRE beat, that’s NOT my problem.
i like good sonics when i’m listening to music; not suttin’ (something) that sounds like a demo!
The king of NY
Dope af
