Nas only released his chart-topping eleventh studio album Life is Good in July 2012, but he’s already onto the next one.
During an interview with AP, Esco said that he’s already begun work on the follow-up to Life is Good and that he’s in the right state of mind to record it. “Yes. It has started. I must tell you. I can’t stop now. I’m in a great zone,” he said.
Additionally, the Queens, New York rapper named his favorite albums of 2012, picking Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city and Meek Mill’s Dreams & Nightmares as his top LPs from last year.
“No disrespect to nobody else in rap music, but Kendrick Lamar. I’m really happy about his record. I needed that. His record reaches you. It gives you hope. … Also, Meek Mill. His energy is amazing.”

Damn nasties on a roll. Gonna be sure to get it as soon as it comes out (fingers crossed for a dope album) nas chose kendricks album for 2012 likewise with kendrick, k.dot said he liked nas album it’d be cool for them to make a record.
Finally Nas said something about Kendrick!
Yeah that’s what I thought.
2013 will be NAS’ Year
Wanna hear Nas on a track wit Kendrick and Cole
Why? To hear them get bodied?
Nas should hold off and wait 1 year because “Life is good” is a special project. He needs to focus on making a great piece of art.
my thoughts exactly. it’s way too soon to be releasing an album on the heels of a previous one.
The way I see it, if he’s in a great zone then it’s better for him to be recording. I agree that he shouldn’t rush it, but nothing’s wrong with being eager to record.
Lost Tapes 2 please to kick off the year 🙂 And drop the album in the last quarter of the year. Nas rarely drops back to back years. The last time he did was Stillmatic and God’s Son. I hope he takes the full year to craft the album right. Also, wasn’t Life Is Good his last contractually obligated album on Def Jam?? I hope so.
only fags and fuckboys use smiley faces when they type
lmfao, meek mill?
lnfaoooo
lol, he got that totally wrong. Hopefully Meek doesn’t show up on the new album.
im sorry but meek sounds like a whinny bitch on his cuts gay
Nas is a joke just echoing what the mainstream says that is also why he is overrated as a rapper.
EXACTLY, DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE RATE NAS aka “MORE” THAT HIGH.
MOST
OVERRATED
RAPPER
EVER
Ever heard of some wack rapper named 2Pac….yeah, he’s he most overrated rapper EVER!
Eat a dick for those that will talk shit….
All of you are retarded. Nas and 2pac are the best. Jay Z is the most overrated rapper ever.
Easy E is the sickest rapper to ever do it.
meek sucks, its a fact
Meek Mill? Fuck off he is wack. Kendrick is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad overrated just like Nas the fake prophet.
so uh…what about you? What do you do for a living? Just asking…
So who do you think IS good if you think Nas and Kendrick are weak?
I suck cock for a living
Nas is whack, he lost the beef with Jay Z. Nas wishes he was like Lil Wayne. Nas never made a good record, that nigga is fake. The only real rappers left are Weezy, Jay Z, Diddy, Snoop and Royce Da 5’9. If you disagree with me you must me retarded. Oh yeah other real rappers are Joe Budden and MGK. Fuck you Nas, just retire and suck dick.
Kill yourself, retard.
Boy, grow way up! You sound like someone that hasn’t done anything in life and you want to hate on everybody else because they are winning. Get yo life together.
Your opinion isnt even worth a rant
@Negroo Please… your bitch ass had rant, you dumb fuck. And the rest of you who spoke shit about my comment should just strap yourself with a bomb and blow it up like muslims. You all probably suck dick like fake ass Nas. If you were here I’d murder you. You all need a life, get of your dad’s dick and quit sucking your mum’s tits. Clowns.
Look who’s talking. You’re a phony, a bitch, and a troll. The fact that you say Wayne is a real rapper makes your opinion shit. Wayne is one of the worst rappers out and you call Nas wack and fake? Lol GTFOHWTBS. Find the tallest building in your city, go to the roof, and jump off that bitch for all the bullshit you said.
Also, you said that Diddy and MGK are real rappers? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You’re a fucking joke, Fact. Your music taste is shit. You must be 14 years old.
Nas>>>>>>>all those guys you called “real rappers”
@^: you are a dumb shit. You must be brain dead to think that Nas is a real rapper. Nas is in the shitest rappers group along with fake niggas like Rick Ross and 2 Chainz. Nas is a broke ass nigga who can’t put words together like real niggas (Lil Wayne). Lil Wayne makes way more money than Nas. Lil Wayne is the new Tupac. You better quit talking shit about me you fuck face. If I see you in the streets, I’ll murder you. I’ll put you 6 feet under. You gay Frank Ocean fuck.
BLASPHEMY!! Wayne is not the new Tupac; he’s not even at his level. Wayne has zero classics. Like I said, Wayne is one of the worst rappers out. Nas is one of the best emcees out. You either are deaf, have shitty music taste, or retarded. You’re a retard, a hater, and a faggot ass troll. If anyone’s a brain dead dumb shit, its you. Go back into the short bus and drive that muthafucker off a cliff.
P.S.: you ain’t gonna do shit. You’re just a bitch with a keyboard.
Facts only pussies make threats behind computers. Only niggas with no lifes count other people money online. Those are Facts.
“Nas is in the shitest rappers group along with fake niggas like Rick Ross and 2 Chainz.”
No. Nas is in the best rappers list alongside Rakim, Kool G Rap, etc.
“Nas is a broke ass nigga”
I didn’t know you were his accountant. Owing money to the IRS =\= being broke.
“who can’t put words together like real niggas (Lil Wayne).”
Oh, really? Wayne, a fake blood/skater that kisses men on the lips and wears women’s clothing, is a real nigga who can put words together better than Nas? “When it Waynes it pours” oh, yeah; words of a lyrical genius. /sarcasm/
“Lil Wayne makes way more money than Nas.”
How does that make him a better rapper, though? That just makes him a better businessman, which has nothing to do with lyrical skills.
“Lil Wayne is the new Tupac.”
Please tell me this is a joke. Otherwise, you’re retarded. Like ^ said, Wayne is NOWHERE near 2Pac’s level. Pac had many classics albums, while Wayne doesn’t even have ONE (C2 is good, but not a classic).
The fact that you dickride Lil Wayne and say he’s better than Nas makes you look like an even bigger idiot. My advice to you: find a noose and hang yourself for the sake of the world.
@^: You are a gay fuck. If Tupac saw Weezy he’d be happy to see that hip hop is getting better. i don’t know why I wast my time with you. You need to see a doctor. You bitch ass nigga. Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive and get over it. He has loads of classics. Seriously whoever you are, it would mean a lot to everyone if you just hooked chains to yourself and jumped deep into the ocean. I bet you have AIDS you fake fuck. I’ll fuck you up. Your mom is my bitch.
P.S.: Get the fuck off Nas’ dick. That nigga don’t give a damn about you. You must be some fuckin retarded 12yr old American redneck fuck.
You’re obviously trolling. If Pac saw Wayne, he’d be shaking his head about how shitty hip-hop has become. He’d be happier for Kendrick Lamar, who’s making hip-hop much better than it is. Wayne is one of the worst rappers ever and he has ZERO classics. You’re the one that needs help. Do the world a favor: purchase a shotgun, put one shell in, put it to your mouth, and pull the trigger.
P.S.: You shouldn’t be the one talking about dickriding when you have Wayne’s semen all over your face. That nigga don’t care about you.
Fact is obviously YESSIR and So Icy Boi in disguise.
@Fact I disagree with you saying that Weezy is the new Tupac but I agree that Nas has lost it and he’s whack now. Weezy is the best nigga out here now
“Nas has lost it and he’s whack now. Weezy is the best nigga out here now”
Disagree 100%. Nas still has it and proved it with Life Is Good. And Wayne ain’t the best nigga out now; he’s far from it. What about Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Big KRIT, Joey Bada$$, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, etc.? Those niggas tracks trump anything Wayne has done.
@^: Tupac and Weezy would make such a good group, you’re just too retarded and blind to see that. You fuckin tranny shithead. That’s the thing with you Americans you’re so damn dumb. You fuckin loser, eat shit. Amma fuck you up like how Game did 40glocc.
P.S.: Your mom is a slut and your dad likes cock up his mouth. Quit being alive.
@^: You think you’re so tough behind that keyboard. Gay Nigga
“Tupac and Weezy would make such a good group”
No, they wouldn’t, you goddamn groupie. Get Wayne’s dick out your mouth. Come back to the real world and realize that shit won’t happen. Get a life, you goddamn e-thug instead of making laughable threats online.
@^: I was just joking about this. I wanted to see people’s reactions to that comment. You put up a good fight I must say. Am actually a big fan of people like Big L, Nas, Rakim, Ice T, Pac, Biggie, Big Pun, Cam’ron, LL Cool J, Kendrick, Game, Canibus, NWA. You get the picture. I really can’t stand people like Lil Wayne and the rest of YMCMB. I can’t wait till Nas releases his next album. My top 5 are Nas, Eminem, Tupac, Rakim and Ice Cube. I like new rappers like Yelawolf, Kendrick, Joey Badass, ASAP Rocky and Iggy.
P.S.: It’s good too see other fans of real hip hop.
ETHER
LMAOOOOOOO that shit was funny as fuck
Mutha Phukas be crazy with they comments.
What dumb fuck tried to be me by saying I like fuckin Nas. That nigga is gay who acted as me. Fuckin tranny.
And to every other nigga who talks shit about real niggas like Weezy, Jay Z and Diddy, should just jump off a bridge. I’ll murder anyone who challenges me.
@^: Your gay ass wishes you were me. You fuckin dick sucker, take gay boy Nas dick out your mouth. Dumb tranny. Your mom must really be a man. You have two dads. Hahaha, dumb shit. Don’t fuck with real niggas like me. Fuck Nas, bitch.
All I hear is hating ass complainers and they judge others but have nothing to show for in their life. It’s one thing to have a valid opinon but people on here just say stuff just to say it without any sense behind it..I guess it’s because we have alot of 12 year olds on here.
Nas is the G.O.A.T. all the real people know it. He’s the best merge of the old and the new without messing up either generations. He is definitely going to the Music Hall of Fame.
Kendrick is winning that Grammy next year. Folks just hate on real music that makes you think and want to settle for “Bandz Make Her Dance” That’s great to listen to it every now and then but EVERYDAY?! C’mon son!
Trueeeeeeeeeeee
ok ok ok ok nas is good
Yep kendricks album was the best of the year but meeks get da fuck out wit that shit it is a load of same sounding beats with an annoying shouty guy screaming bout his money his watch and getting more money. Oh and tony story 2 showed how weak a storytelling mc he is
nas, we know your lyrics have changed, because you’ve gotten older, but man, can you step it up on the beats?
You want those Rick Ross Beats?
beats on Life IS Good were pretty f’n ill.
rick ross beats weren’t quite as good on this last album as he’s had on previous albums, but nas needs to be a little more selective when it comes to beats…i liked life is good, but nas’ albums can get boring quick, as good as the are, i don’t know what it is.
GOAT
Nas, dope….living legend
Kendrick, dope…legend in the making
Meek, nothing special…I hope one of the last weak hypes in Hip Hop
Def Jam must want to lose money.
Too bad Weak Mill got bodied and his shit is tarnished…
“rIdInG iN yA GhOsT…! RoLLiE oN My WrIsT…! Bitch!” lol
Only “zone” niggas want Nas to be in is when he’s fucking with top quality beats-smiths like RZA, Alchemist or of course Preem. His choice for top rap LP of the year was wack too. Where’s Roc Marciano, Gangrene, Sean Price, JJ Doom, Homeboy Sandman, Apollo Brown…?
just because YOU think those albums are dope doesn’t everybody else was feeling them
Ignore this uneducated, tasteless fag above me…your comments were right on point!
lol i bet you think that Kendrick isn’t “real hip hop” like those underground boom bap faggots. You should’ve killed yourself in the 90s, asshole.
Is this nigga still chasin after kelis’ milkshake. 50 ended his career already. Life is good was average and this guy hasn’t had a hot album in 10 years. Oh yeah he bankrupt he need to worry bout getting his money up.
lol at the 50 ended his career. ur too focused how much money the dudes got and not on the music. life is good was far better than anything 50s released since get rich or die trying, and thats being lenient
Nas lyrics still ill but he need to get some hot beats. Nigga needs to hit up Rozay and get Rozay to EP his album. Then he get the hottest beats. Rozay’s ear plus Nas lyrics equals classic.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say this to myself everyday all nas go to do is let the bawse picks his beats for him and he is good to go.
If u under 18 ur opinion dont count. cause u cant possibly remember when Nas ran the game. When Jay-Z used to envy that nigga. Yall hate because yall dont understand him and yall mind cant get it there. U young fucks so brainwashed by the corny sounding rappers today they ya’ll forgot about quality and lyrics. I feel sorry for alot of 90s babies because yall missed the golden era. so now yall just hate on every rapper from it. No respect!!!!!
Not really I know classics like N.W.A; Public Enemy, Black Moon, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, Lauryn Hill, Lords of the Underground. Also I get into new classic rappers like Atmopshere, Aesop Rock, Grieves, Macklemore, Hopsin, Brother Ali, CunninLyngusit and other great rapper like that. Don’t think the whole youth finds all their songs on the radio I’m 16 but stopped listening to the radio when I was 12
ur a lil ahead. now ur like a early mid 20s listener. congrats.
that last post was your grammar homework
Im one of the biggest Nas fans, always have been since Illmatic dropped…pound for pound he’s the G.O.AT. but son has his head up his ass. He needs to stop catering to mainstream tastes and just speak his mind like he did when his back was up against the wall until he sided with Jay-Z…Kendrick Lamar’s album was decent but I dont know why he keeps publicly co-signing that fake C.O. and his boring, generic-ass Meek Mill…Seriously, that dude is overrated garbage.
Real talk, Life is Good was one of his worst albums…except for Loco-Motive the beats were pretty awful. Stop fucking around and refocus…get back with AZ, get Preme and Alchemist to do the bulk of the beats and drop another gem already!!!
Are you fucking serious? Life Is Good is one of Nas’ best albums.
agreed
Word Life is Good is easily one of Nas’ best Albums. It was better then HHID, Untitled, SD and just as good or maybe better then God Son’s. And what made the album so good was the beats were on point.
LIG being one of his better albums ain’t hard when the majority of his disco contains complete and utter trash.
The big industry secret is that Kool G. Rap discovered Nas,not MC serch. Why? Because G. Rap was writing for him. This is why you’ll never hear nas in his “nasty” illmatic form again.
Where’s the spam button when you need it.
Get nas meat out ya mouth!

I thought the big secret is that Pac is w/ Panthers in cuba?
large pro fool
Nas said Kendrick album reaches you and he said Meek Mills album had alot of energy. I personally think those were valid reason for picking those two albums. Only reason why Mills shit wasn’t all that is because Kendrick shit. But Mills shit isn’t wack. I just can’t take that same flow and sound for 14 songs.
I just can’t take that same flow and sound for 14 songs.
^Yet you like GKMC?
First of all Wu Wear gear aint never been good to wear. Second of all if you think Kendrick uses the same flow all thri GKMC you retarded and don’t know music. Third but no least i never said i like GKMC. I just said Meek shit wasn’t all that because Kendrick shit. Didn’t mean i like either album. Comprehend dick head you can’t be an online nerd and stupid at the sametime.
Fuck the typos
I don’t understand. I admit it.
that’s wut i’m talkin’ bout! another Nas album on the way!!! i think this would make his 11th LP, not 12th… unless u count Lost Tapes
the five elements of hip pop
cars
jewelry
partying
girls
gangs
Then you been listening to the wrong shit. Thats only the shit they promote now and dayz. Hip Hop is the most diverse music out. Now rappers could talk about gay shit and its cool
thats what young niggas think cause they brain washed with gucci maine , ymcmb lil wayne, waka flocka . pick up a book lil nigga
Even the great nas knows meek mill is dope what you haters gotta say about that lol
Meek Mill is still trash, no matter who co signs him.
yeah these ppl r haters. hes not amazing but shows potential and puts together good songs. shouldn’t have fucked w/ cassidy though
“Jay-Z used to envy”
That’s the other way around, homie.
Depends on what you’re talking about. If its money/success, then yeah, Nas envies Jay. Lyrically, Jay wished he was Nas. But thry both co-signed each other and are buddies.
Nas’ never came at Jay-Z. Jay-Z came at Nas and got ethered. Never heard Nas mention anything about Jay-Z money. So i don’t see how Nas was jealous of Jay-z money
fan of both but dont think for a second either wishes they were the other . they both who and where they want to be
“Hip Hop has to thank God for Jay-Z”
Nas bowing down to the true king.
And Jay Z praised Nas. One king bowing down to another.
“beats on Life IS Good were pretty ill”
2 songs maybe.
Your opinion.
This nas is so overrated… god! I wish niggas would grow with real words of life and not fiction of ghetto paints. Live Freshest!
Wow, you’re an idiot.
What a pendejo! He probably ymcmb stan! #NasForPresident lol

Yes yes keep em coming Esco
im a nas head, but that was sell-out of him…his list shud be like dj premiers..with actual classics on top of kendricks overated ass album
Nas should change his name to Money
MOST
OVERRATED
NEGRO
EVER
YALL
And you should change your name to hater.
PLEASE WORK WITH AZ ON THIS ALBUM. PLEASE… JUST ONE FUCKING TRACK FOR THE FANS
Go buy AZ albums, you dumb fuck.
So ppl are mad because Nas gave his own personal opinion? I hate you hip hop heads. I really do.
True Hip Hop fans is the worst kind of fans to have.
rappers need to start rapping on ime and kill beats …. there holding back
even lose yourself is off beat
eminem not even the best
raps are to slow or the beats to fast
the 80s was simple 2013 should kill every record ever made
should the most technical lyrics ever
perfect bars with perfect timeing
we need bomb hooks again
something commercial but that has essence
at least the man actually raps..not just talking shit to some gay beat like all these young money faggots
that he praises and loves to do features with his.
I bet you silly kids are shaking your heads- MAINLY because you don’t know shit about hip-hop music other than the words rhyme. Especially you cats under 30. Don’t even know what Nas or someone like Jay Z is even saying in their raps.
jay z can go fuck himself
I’m 16 and I know a GOOD chunk of Hip-Hop
Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, KRS-One, Rakim, Canibus, Method Man, Raekwon, MC Ren, MC Shan, MC Lyte, you want any more?
I’m 16 and NaS is one of my favorite rappers.. and EVERYONE knows what he’s saying in his raps. His music is VERY EASY to comprehend.
under 30? you’re reaching a lil bit
But Jay signed Nas tho.
Some of these comments are ridiculous. I think if you hatin on Nas your definitely a stan… go listen to some Dr Dre crap!!!!!
I’m hoping this album will have production from Premier, Havoc, Pete Rock, Alchemist and Apollo Brown with features from Kendrick, AZ, Cormega, Havoc and Rakim. I think that would be as close to perfect as Nas could make it, but it’ll never happen!
Don’t get butt hurt if your favorite artist don’t make Nas’ Classic.
Niggas beg for Cormega and AZ on Nas’ albums, but wouldn’t give a fuck if they wouldn’t put out another solo album til 2020.

At the same time that the US has the most expensive and powerful military on Earth, high poverty rate, the largest prison population, a relatively high infant mortality rate, tremendous overconsumption and waste, a stingy and demeaning welfare program, an active capital punishment program, and almost as many privately owned guns as people, y’all giving a fuck about THIS nigga?!?!?
And I don’t see you doing ANYTHING better than, you’ve observed these problems congratulations now are you doing anything to help out about this??
Typical nerd comment.
Fuck 2pac, Fuck Eminem, Fuck B.I.G., Fuck Jay Z, Fuck Lil Wayne, Fuck Nas, Fuck HHDX, Fuck Twitter, How about we discuss the real Top 5
1. DMX
2. Earl Simmons
3. Dark
4. Man
5. X
Wrong Immortal Technique would destroy DMX
x in his prime will destroy any emcee
X is a washed up crack fiend now.
your retarded kid
Dmx and my dogs bite jigga my nigga rhyme all night
2PAC is and always will be the greatest rapper of all time by far
Lyrical Content – 2PAC beats any other rapper, his music was so meaningful, the themes of most of Tupac’s songs are the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism, other social problems – PAC WINS
Voice – 2PAC had the greatest voice is rap, it was perfect, he can be angry and agressive in Hit Em Up and Changes, then soft in Dear Mama. MTV voted him 09 of the best voices in music ever, michael jackson was 10th – PAC was ahead of every other rapper
Lyrical Skill – Yeah pac didnt have the greatest metaphors, it’s easy to have skillful lyrics when your rapping about cars, sex, money, sex , cars, PAC told stories and rapped about real important topics, and he didnt try to have skillful lyrics, also the greatest rapper for lyrical skill is eminem. and 2pac beats him on every other catogary
Greatest Lyricist – Pac haands down, other than his lyrics having great meaning, PAC made 400 songs in one year, he writ and recorded the songs in The Don Kiluminati in 7 days, people will great metaphors in there lyrics take YEARS TO MAKE THEIR ‘CLASSIC’ Albums fukin idiots
Greatest Person – PAC, what a guy
Agreed. Pac, Nas, MF DOOm, Common and Mos Def are my favorite. But 2pac and Nas take the crown for me. No one can ever recreate 2pacs story. From his panther upbringing, to his body of work and work ethic at that. He always had soemthin of substance to say. No one can touch 2pac and Nas’ catalog. Sorry folks.
tupac may not be the greatest anymore , maybe if rappers didn’t have the “nobody could be better then tupac ” mentally then rapper wouldn’t be trash.
No argument there. 2Pac is easily the best when you think about how he did so much in little time. Dude put out 5-10 more albums of new material after his death. That alone should tell you how Pac was. But You got nerds who come on here talking about 2pac was overrated. They just don’t understand how hard and how much work Pac put in this shit.
Every rapper from Lil Wayne to T.I to Nas and Jayz to 50 cent and Jarule to DMX to Kendrick and Asap Rocky was influenced by 2pac. All these niggas you see with belly tattoos and tats all over their body came from 2pac directly. Thug Life niggas. Pac was the greatest MC. Nas is still the best lyricist tho but Pac was just as deep.
Agreed
you cant pick a greatest every rapper has whack material
maybe pick the best song
lyrics are fact
mcs are personal
why dont you marry him
I like 2Pac too, but damn ppl need to get off his dick. ppl have got it in their minds that he’s the greatest and no matter how dope the next guy who comes along is, they’ll likely never change their minds. if you think his messiah status had nothing to do with his untimely death, you’re lying to yourself.
Pac was getting BETTER too. You can hear the progression in the original versions of the 200+ songs he recorded in ’96.
Ok let’s face it, nas back in the day had a few good songs, but come on dude just admit that your new shit ain’t saying shit. I still believe slim shady is a better rapper, performer and business man than nas.
Change your name to D-Rider. It would be perfect for you.Even better than STAN. lol
No Stan fits this nerd best. Dick Rider is worst then a Stan. Especially an Em fan who point these Stans out.
if u call someone a stan urbeing fake
it a trend
we are goonna have wait another year for this.
Sorry but I love Pac and all of that but Nas is the greatest of all times, his catalouge speaks volumes, you can’t name me 5 rappers like seriously who’s albums arr constructed and lyrically better than his. I’m suprised he chose K. Dot’s album but that dude album wasn’t bad at all…I would’ve said Lupe Food & Liquor 2..
Lupe’s first two albums >>>>>>> any Nas album not named Illmatic.
Lupe blows goats
naw. IWW is better than Lu’s first two. Stillmatic is as good or maybe better.
Niggas praise tracks like I Gave You Power? Lupe created a universe and filled two full-length albums and a series of mixtapes with it’s characters.
Worst tracks on Food & Liquor and The Cool >>>>>>>>>>>> Nasir’s existence.
Yeah lazers was a fuckin’ masterpiece, too, right?
People are stuck in the golden age. Nas is top 3 ever. But if we talking about pure skill, Lupe may have everyone. Lupe can be just as brillantly straightforward as Nas, and is an equal storyteller. But Lupe has a certain beautiful abstractness about him that has hasn’t ever displayed. Lupe’s sue of entendres, metaphors, the way he flips words and phrases, and his references. Lu is definitely up there with the best in terms of skill, and that can’t be argued.
I Don’t Know. Life Is Good actually left me hanging from my seat. I feel Nas is gonna do some pretty sick stuff with this Next ALbum with some dope appearances and the Variety of Prducers that we wanted to see on life Is Good. I’m too stoked!
he better prove himself as the greatest
make rap what it should be ..
if illmatic had a ghostwritter than we need a team of super mcs to write perfect lyrics
commercial will only be so good
imagine if pac was underground
or if there was no slim shady
i bet u i wouldnt be complaining
commercial is fake thats fact
nas’ new shit is boring as fuck. he really needs that boom bap back in his beats.
that’s been nas’ biggest shortcoming, a good ear for dope beats.
Locomotive?
Nas is very motivated right now, financially
No ymcmb is fresh get dat
Distant Relatives 2 is gonna be fire!!! im craving that reggae and hip-hop
why is nas backin two lames…. WTF
the best rappers always listen to wack music is fact
Top 5 of all time 1.DMX 2.NAS 3.JADAKISS 4.JAY-Z 5.TUPAC
NAS GOAT
Overkill!! His first was his best, and it been downhill ever since
i dont know any rapper that can drop an album as solid as “life is good”, 18 years after their debut.
I guess he had to make up for all the other wack ass albums that came before it.
always people loving to hate, fuck them all nas JEALOUS BASTARDS
NAS IS COMING
GOAT

“In a great zone”? Nigga is fucking BROKE! That’s the reason he begins recording for another album.

GOAT
“Nas has a net worth of 17 million”
You internet accountants crack me up.
Like you know Nas’ net worth.
More like internet nerds
Alright then. Tell me the right numbers. I’m waiting.
“x in his prime will destroy any emcee”
Eminem? Jay? Even Nas? No way.
“Jay wished he was Nas”
Let’s compare their lives real quick. Jay is married to Beyonce. Has a kid. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Platinum albums to this day. The face of the Brooklyn Nets. Nas has tax problems. A wayward daughter. An album that flopped. So I guess you’re right. Jay wishes he was Nas lol
You’re a fucking idiot with Jay Z’s dick in your mouth. Nas’ album did not flop. It did well in this time and age when album sales are decreasing.
LMFAO GET OFF JAY Z DICK GEY BOY
Nas has a little daugher idiot. And Jay-z owns like the smallest amount of shares out of all the share holders of the Nets. You act like everyone wants to live the way Jay-z chose to live. Some people don’t want kids, or to run all that shit. Some people just want to make good music an kick it. Thats what Nas does.
“Like you know Nas’ net worth”
I don’t care about Nas’s net worth.
“Nas’ album did not flop. It did well in this time and age when album sales are decreasing”
It did ok for a week then dropped like a fly.
“Jay-z owns like the smallest amount of shares out of all the share holders of the Nets”
He’s practically the face of the team. Like an unofficial scout who uses his name to get players to sign with the organization. Clearly he’s not doing it just for the money, even though I bet he gets under the table money that doesn’t get reported. Regardless, Nas doesn’t have this type of clout or power. While he chills and blows whatever fortune he has left, Jay is expanding.
You people kill me. Money and life status has nothing to do with music. Imagine this..”Mick Jagger is way better than Stephen Tyler, he has 3 phantoms a supermodel wife,and been in movies…still makes millions every year. Tyler ain’t cakin like that B.” lol….sounds f@%kin stupid because it is. Nas is nice and so is Jay…why do their lives always get compared…that’s some funny style,tmz,gossip b@#%h S#%t. Get over it and grow some balls.
