Nas is one of the most respected rappers in the history of the genre. Now the Queens, New York rapper born Nasir Jones is being honored by Harvard University with “The Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship,” which is being established by the Hip-Hop Archive and The W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at the revered Massachusetts school of higher learning. The fellowship is designed to fund scholars and artists who demonstrate exceptional, productive scholarship and creative ability in the arts, as they relate to Hip Hop.
“In my rollercoaster of a life, I’ve endured good and bad for sure, and I’ve truly been blessed to have achieved so much through art in my short life thus far,” Nas said in a statement provided by the Island Def Jam Music Group, which releases Nas’ music. “But I am immensely over-the-top excited about the Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship at Harvard. From Queens, New York to true cultural academia. My hopes are that greed for knowledge, art, self-determination and expression go a long way. It is a true honor to have my name attached to so much hard work, alongside great names like Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and W.E.B. Du Bois and to such a prestigious and historical institution, and all in the name of the music I grew to be a part of.”
Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research says that Nas’ affiliation will benefit the institution. “Nas is a true visionary, and he consistently shows how boundaries can be pushed and expanded to further the cause of education and knowledge,” Gates, Jr. says. “The work of the Du Bois Institute is enriched by the addition of the Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship.”
Nas’ most recent album, Life Is Good, was released in 2012. He put out his first album, Illmatic, in 1994. The project is one of the most acclaimed rap releases of all time thanks to Nas’ poetic, story-driven rhymes and production from DJ Premier, Pete Rock and others.
The Hip-Hop Archive was established at Harvard University in 2002 to support and establish the emerging research and scholarship devoted to the knowledge, art, culture, materials, organizations, movements and institutions developed by those who support and follow Hip Hop. The Hip-Hop Archive and Research Institute organizes and develops collections, initiates and participates in research activities, sponsors events and acquires material culture associated with Hip Hop in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Harvard University’s Hip-Hop Archive has three objectives, according to the press release from the Island Def Jam Music Group. “To seek projects from scholars and artists that build on the rich and complex hip-hop tradition; to respect that tradition through historically grounded and contextualized critical insights; and most importantly, to represent one’s creative and/or intellectually rigorous contribution to hip-hop and the discourse through personal and academic projects,” the release says. “Personal projects of fellows may include manuscript projects, performance pieces, album work, curriculum planning, primary archival research, and exhibition preparation, among others.”
“Having welcomed various artists and scholars, the Hip-Hop Archive and Research Institute is uncompromising in our commitment to build and support intellectually challenging and innovative scholarship that reflects the rigor and achievement of Hip Hop performance,” says Marcyliena Morgan, Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University and founder and director of the Hip-Hop Archive and Research Institute. “With the introduction of the Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship, we will continue to be the leading resource for those interested in knowing, developing, building, maintaining, and representing Hip Hop.”
Named after William Edward Burghardt Du Bois who, in 1895, was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research is the nation’s oldest research center dedicated to the study of the history and culture of Africans and African Americans. The Institute was established in 1975 to sponsor fellowships that would facilitate the writing of doctoral dissertations in areas related to Afro-American Studies. The Institute awards up to 20 fellowships annually to scholars at various stages of their careers in the fields of African and African American Studies.

This dude sucks, his flow is wack and he mumble’s like he has marble’s in his mouth. Also he can never find a good production team and his rap’s all sound the same. Yolo!
NAS IS A LEGEND!
Kill yourself, bobyahead.
So says the troll with a dick in his mouth
Why the fuck is nas so popular? He’s fucking wack and has a shitty flow. I listened to Ace Hood’s lastest album (he sent it to me since Im an accountant for ymcmb) and is one of the best albums I have listened to. This will sell 550k opening week.
You’re wrong about everything. Nas is dope and he has an ill flow, which is why he’s a legend and is one of the most respected rappers in the game. Ace Hood and his album sucks. His album will notbsell that much. It’ll do 50k 1st week at the most.
None of Ace Hood’s albums even went gold, he won’t sell that much.
You got that backward, you’re wrong about everything. Nas is wack and the only ill in his flow is making my ears sick from listening to him. Ace Hood is a great rapper, both XXL Magazine and Allmusic called his album his best work ever (Allmusic named it editor’s choice) and his album will sell 50k copies withing the first hour alone.
Neither did Daft Punk’s albums up to now yet all of a sudden, they went gold.
A bunch of lies you made up. Nas is one of the best rappers of all time. Ace Hood is a wack rapper. Nobody said his album was good at all and it’ll sell 50k 1st week since nobody cares about Ace Hood.
Nas is an overrated rapper who’s been washed up since the 90’s, Ace Hood on the other hand has one of the all time greatest flows and wordplay and will sell 500k plus!!
I didn’t lie. Daft Punk’s latest album was their first to hit gold. Nas sucks and is one of the worst rappers out there. Allmusic gave Trials and Tribulations a 4/5 (a higher rating that Gay Z’s Magna Carter 3/5.) Positive word of mouth will lead this going gold 1st week.
Good jokes, kid. Nas will forever be one of the greatest of all time. Ace Hood sucks; he’s a boring rapper with no individual style and personality, uses the same wack ass flow, and raps about the same typical generic mainstream rap topics. He will not sell 500k ever; he’ll do 50k.
Nas will only be in greatest all of time lists because delusional stans and reporters put him there. Ace Hood does have a style. He talks about god a lot, not something mainstream rappers rap about. He has a great flow and will go gold in 1st week.
BTW, allmusic gave it a 4/5.
Nas is considered a great because he is a great. Ace Hood does not have his own style. Many rappers talk about a lot, nothing new. Ace Hoid has a wack flow and will not go gold. Stop lying.
The experts at allmusic think’s Ace Hood’s flow is dope, your just a hater that didn’t make it in life! Yolo!
Nas is considered great because nas pays the editors to classify his albums as legendary. Ace Hood will be considered great and allmusic praised it more than Gay Z’s latest album. Ace hood will go gold, drake will stay at ymcmb, and fathers and sons kiss all the time and are still straight.
Keep making up bullshit. I’m not a hater, I’m a realist. I have a good life; a well-paying job, my own house in the suburbs, and a beautiful girlfriend who lives with me; something you trolls don’t have. Fuck YOLO.
@demtaldambitch
Again, everything you just said is a big, fucking lie.
Everything you both said is a lie. You have a miserable life, living in your mama’s basement. You have a gay ass boyfriend. Anyway Ace Hood is getting praised, Drake will stay t ymcmb, Ace Hood will go gold 1st week and fathers and sons kissing is natural and the circle of life.
The irony. Everything you say is a lie. You just described yourself.
Allmusic gave Trials and Tribulations a 4/5. I’ve described you. YMCMB and MMG running this game.
Keep making up lies. You only described yourself. YMCMB\MMG ain’t running shit.
YMCMB/MMG>>>>>Good music/ Roc nation!!
Good joke, bitch.
Here’s the website for the review so that way your hating ass stops criticizing me. Ace Hood running this game.
http://www.allmusic.com/album/trials-tribulations-mw0002556007
Ace Hood ain’t running shit. The album is wack, period.
“The NaRIS Jones Hip Hop Fellowship”???
Great honor for a legend. Also, I see the trolls are out in effect. This is why kids with no knowledge of hip-hop should be banned from this site.
The only troll he is you and you should be banned from this site, nas is wack and ace hood is one of the best in the game! Yolo!
I hate swagfags. Bobyahead, you and dentalbitch are the trolls. Nas is dope and Ace Hood is wack. Die.
We speak the truth. Nas is wack and Allmusic begs to differ on your view of ace hood.
Nothing y’all say is true. Nas is dope and Ace Hood sucks.
Having swag is everything in life, it gets you the bitches and much further in life. Nas has none and gets no bitches
Swag is made up bullshit by kids who’ll never get far in life and the only women they get are skanks who have no respect for themselves and have 4 babies by 4 different men. Nas don’t need that bullshit and gets more women than your trolling ass.
Swag is made up by men in their 20’s that are good at sports and fuck alot of quality bitches, Nas bitch on the other hand cheated on him with Gay-Z and Kelis was spotted by Dental Fucking Wayne and Drake
It’s true. Nas, after his divorce, could not get any more women so had to turn to fucking men like Jay Z. Wayne and Drake have plenty of 19 year old virgins.
More lies you made up. Swag is artificial bulkshit made by teenage douchebags who dropped out of high school who spends their entire day getting high and drunk, partying every day like they have nothing else to do, and only attracting easily impressed skanks who have no aspirations in life. Everything you say are lies you made up.
It’s true, I saw Wayne and Drake take turns taking Kate Upton’s virginity, after they finished they passed her on to me, wayne is a thoughtful nigga and Gangster of the year!!
Dentalbitch, stop making up lies because what you said is not true.
Keep making up lies, Bobyadick2dis.
Swag is made by those who accept life and are more accepting of others unlike your hating ass who is broke.
Nope. Swag is made b people who are the opposite of that. I have a job, so I’m not broke.
Swag is made by those who respect everyone who they are. The opposite of swag is hater which describes you. Don’t be mad just because we at ymcmb make far more money than you.
Wrong. Swag is made up by people who don’t respect others. The opposite of swag is class, AKA people who respect others and will make it farther in life than the swagfags.
“Don’t be mad just because we at ymcmb make far more money than you.”
The excuse used by hardcore stans like yourself when you have no valid argument and are just making up bullshit. WRONG AGAIN!!
He does work at YMCMB and I was a youngin Blood Member in hollygrove and weezy took me under his wing when he released tha carter II, he showed me how to be a man! YOLO SWAG!!
Swag is class. The opposite of that is a hater such as your mad broke ass.
^^^ More lies you made up.
Swag is not class, it’s the opposite of that. I’m not mad and I have a job, so I’m not broke. You lose.
My teacher in high school taught me that swag is class. I work as an accountant for ymcmb and i fuck female college virgins. YOU LOSE!!
Keep making up lies to make your miserable life better, bitch. Swag is not class. Get a real life.
I DID learn what swag is at high school.
Which is artificial bullshit.
Who the fuck at HARVARD thought to give this street rat a fucking reward like this? he also has shitty flow and raps about the same stuck in the 90s bullshit all the time
Die, swagfag.
#YOLOOOO #YOYO #YOMEGA #TOMAGOTCHI
Why do people keep replying to trolls? Are they dumb?
About DAMN time to get some recognition from the academic sphere. If anybody, he deserve it.
I see dentalboy and Bobyahead are hating on Nas. These two trolls have no life. Congrats to the G.O.A.T., anyways.
Meanwhile, this nigga is also honored with a $6 million debt by the IRS
And you are honored with Hater of the Year award.
Bitch niggas stay butthurt
And you stay hating.
Harvard is also honoring Kelis for taking every dollar this man used to have.
How original.
Are you a coward, nigga? HUH??? Can’t you bitch ass admit the truth?!?! This nigga Nas is a joke, a BROKE joke. Nigga ain’t got no money; what’s all this fuckass honors worth if you starving at the end of the day like this bitch nigga??!?!
Keep making up bullshit.
^^ Keep denying the truth.
And keep hating while you have no life.
^^ Fuck you talking about? You the one in his mother’s basement while I be living
You got that backwards. YOU’RE the one in his mother’s basement while I have a life.
WOW
CONGRATS TO THE G.O.A.T
I seen some cold nights and bloody days
They grab and me bullets spray
They use me wrong so I sing this song ’til this day
My body is cold steel for real
I was made to kill, that’s why they keep me concealed
Under car seats they sneak me in clubs
Been in the hands of mad thugs
They feed me when they load me with mad slugs
Seventeen precisely, one in my head
They call me Desert Eagle, semi-auto with lead
I’m seven inches four pounds, been through so many towns
Ohio to Little Rock to Canarsie, livin harshly
Beat up and battered, they pull me out
I watch as niggaz scattered, makin me kill
But what I feel it never mattered
When I’m empty I’m quiet, findin myself fiendin to be fired
A broken safety, niggaz place me in shelves
under beds, so I beg for my next owner to be a thoroughbred
Keep me full up with hollow heads
FAKE SDK!!
Nigga what you think I’ma stop building
I’ma stop feeling like I’m Amistad’s great great grandchildren
How I’m not gonna want to make millions
Since the quarter water days in the hallways making fake coke
Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper in my mouth all day
But then my style has quite a while that same type as Ill and Al Skratch
Game time to them cats never looked back Cristal blowing dub sacks
That’s when it all just hit me
You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less my nigga spend it all with me
I’d give it all away quickly
Just to hear them all I’d buy some new kicks free of any autographs so
not to be recognized forgive me
It’s becoming unbearable
Making hits is easy
Put a famous bitch on the hook there you go with a platinum CD
I know you heard the noise
Preachers touching on altar boys
Sodomizing not realizing God is watching before the Lord
How can they do the devil’s work?
A man giving another man head in church
Hell it hurts just to fathom the thought wishing that I fled the Earth
FAKE SDK!!!!
I got lemonade and lemon teeth
Lemons watch me mix the shit
Lemonade complexion, east-australian girl be killin me
She say I be killin’ her, I say I be feelin it
Four days then I’m sick of her, cause her brain is lemonhead
Cocaine white exterior, Interior Lemonade
Yellow wit da off-white trimmin

Yellow diamond pinky ring

Canary yellow lemon watch, big bird yellow top
Yellow Polo, Polo, slippers white and yellow polo socks
Gucci Mane be pumpin’ dawg, he dont got all he say he got
Just stash one Lemon homie, I can supply them the 50 glocks
Yellow boat parked at the dock, Yellowbone gon’ make it drop
Flip da flop mine up the top, then go buy me a yellow yacht
FAKE SDK!@!
Never talk to the cops, I dont speak pig latin

And you know I got that mouth out her

Can’t trust none of these hoes
And I see your girl when I want, I got that ho TiVo’d
Got a red ass bitch with a red ass pussy
Nigga try me, that a dead ass pussy
Cuz yall motherfuckers so blind to the fact
To tell you the truth I don’t care who’s looking
All I know is I love my bitch
That pussy feel just like heaven on earth
Six feet deep, dick shovel in the dirt, R.I.P. – Rest In Pussy
Light that shit then pass that shit, we gon get so smoked out

Thirty stacks and I ain’t missed it must mean I ain’t hurtin’
Told her gon’ keep it buy some more damn detergent

Don’t step on my rug ’cause this shit Persian

Told me he was on the dick that’s how the nigga sold me
I’mma hit ’em in his shit, that’s what I told ’em
FAKE SDK!
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You’ve been searching for that someone
And it’s me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling
Sorry for yourself
Well, don’t get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I’m just roaming for the moment
Sleazin’ my back yard so don’t get so uptight
You’ve been thinking about ditching me
FAKE SDK

Fuck you for loving this fuckass nigga. Hope you die slow just like your mother did.
^^^ This guy is a fake.
Bitch.
List of niggas that love Nasir’s bitch ass:
Any anonymous nigga
List of niggas that are way too smart to support a bitch nigga like that:
Bobyahed2dis
Dentaldamboy
Obviously dentalbitch in disguise.
To all the haters of me, I do have a job as an accountant for ymcmb. Boby also has a job as the accountant of mmg. Ace hood’s album is getting praised and fathers and sons kissing isn’t gay.
Trick ass nigga
Noboby believes any of you, dentalbitch.
90 percent of these comments belong to the same nigga hating Nas but with a lot of different nicknames so fuck you and everything you stand for Nas is my idol and I love him to death
Way to dickride a wack ass nigga, it’s impossible to dickride wayne and drake cause their the GOAT’s
The irony. You’re dickriding two wack ass niggas (Wayne and Drake, who are not the GOAT). Kill yourself for what you said.
Nas, please forgive me, you are a god in hip hop and I am a dumb little bitch that needs to be put in his place. Lil Wayne and Birdman are inviting me over for a threesome later, maybe that will finally do it, lord knows.
Good job dentaldambitch, get your head back on straight, and learn some respect.
That’s a fake. Nas sucks period.
^^ You writed that shit nigga admit you gay and you ain’t got a life
I would never write that I am gay because I am straight.
You weren’t straight last night, dentalboy.
That’s Ananymous posing as Gerald because I never met gayrald.
That wasn’t me.
Yes it was you lying bitch. Only one person at a time responds to me and you’re the only one responding.
I am gay.
Again, that’s not me. Who knows how many people are on this site right now? It could be anyone.
Admit right now that you used my name bitch. bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
I didn’t use your name, bitch?
God, what am I doing hating on dentaldamboy and using his name? I really want nas dick in my ass. I can’t see that YMCMB is better than Nas. I am a hating ass nigga.
A fake made by dentalbitch. We know that’s you.
Then stop using my name niggafaggot.
I never used your name.
I AM A FAGGOT, YAY FOR ME, TIME FOR A THREESOME WITH LIL WAYNE AND BIRDMAN.
What started out as a comment section to congraulate Nas now turns into a troll valley for dentalbitch and bobydick.
Plus you and your oh so bitchy family
Fuck off ETK. Ace Hood is fucking wack and Nas is a legend.
I’m done with this fuck ass website. Y’all heard? I’m THROUGH. Rapradar.com better be waiting for me.
Someone pound my tight asshole.
Wow, what a damn clusterfuck…… either way, congratulations to Nas, one of the greatest to ever do it, and to dentaldambitch and all them other trolls, as Melle Mel said “Fuck you very much”
You ain’t funny nigga. Please remove yourself from here.
smh…………………………………………………………. that sums up how I feel about the comments on this site.
Another fake using my name.
I’m a bitch with no life. I want to suck dentalboy and Bobyahead’s dicks.
Nas is one of the most respected rappers in the history of the genre. Now the Queens, New York rapper born Nasir Jones is being honored by Harvard University with “The Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship,” which is being established by the Hip-Hop Archive and The W.E.B.

The Hip-Hop Archive and Research Institute organizes and develops collections, initiates and participates in research activities, sponsors events and acquires material culture associated with Hip Hop in the U.S. and throughout the world.

It has been nearly four years since 50 Cent released a label-backed album. In that time, the Queens, New York superstar and G-Unit Records head was believed to be without a label to begin with. After moving his own label to EMI Distribution in 2010, the multi-platinum star was believed to be free of Shady/Interscope Records, where he released four solo albums dating back to 2003.
Speaking about the album believed to be titled Street King Immortal, 50 Cent recently explained his delays to MTV Rap Fix. “I don’t really need the money off of the record. I want the record to be right.”
Having been backed by Interscope Records for over a decade, 50 Cent confirmed his ongoing relationship with Jimmy Iovine’s label, but noted heavy personnel turnover. “[Interscope Records has had] a lot of staff changes, a lot of different people moving in and moving out,” said the rapper. Recently, Interscope became the latest home to Joie Manda, who left his post as Def Jam Records’ President to become ‘Scope’s President of Urban Music.
Comparing himself to a basketball player, 50 elaborated that he feels the proper supporting team is not in place. “I’ve been on a team where I take the ball out and throw myself the alley-oop, and I take the ball out and shoot the three-pointer myself, and I take the ball out and I dunk the ball.”
Interscope Records’ current roster includes Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q (both of whom are signed to TDE/Aftermath Entertainment), and two onetime nemeses of 50 in French Montana and Game. The latter is signed to Geffen Records, an Interscope subsidiary.
2 Chainz is on the road as part of Lil Wayne’s “America’s Most Wanted” tour with T.I. The Playaz Circle rapper says the tour is remarkable, on many levels.
“It’s the most bad-ass tour this year,” 2 Chainz says in Lil Wayne’s Tour Passport, Episode 6 video. “It’s featuring some real, Black fuckin’ Rock stars…Every night, expect pure excitement. Expect crowd participation. Expect a party on stage.”
2 Chainz was equally braggadocious when describing his own performance on the tour. “I’m the illest nigga doin’ that shit,” he says. “Fuck that shit. Let me just tell you that.”
As for his forthcoming album, 2 Chainz refers to the release as Me Time in the video, though a Universal Music group spokesman told HipHopDX the album title remains B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time, as has been previously reported.
“I’ve got an album coming out September 10,” 2 Chainz says. “I don’t give a fuck who dropped this year. It’s about me. The name of the album Me Time, you feel me.”
The “America’s Most Wanted” is slated to hit the First Niagara Pavilion in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania tomorrow (July 16) and conclude August 31 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to ticketmaster.com.
The tour video concludes with a flyer for Lil Wayne’s European tour in October, which is slated to feature Mac Miller.

TOO BAD 50 ENDED NAS’ CAREER ON PIGGY BANK, NAS AINT MADE A HIT SONG SINCE 2006!
Big Guwop is the realest rapper and heres why.
1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.
This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.
BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!
Gucci Mane = realest rapper ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– T.I. snitch to the feds
– Young Jeezy was never bmf
– 50 Cent snitch and was never in jail but a youthcamp
– Game was never a banger but lived the life of his brother in his lyrics
– Nas Escobar never sold drugs
– Ice Cube never was a gangbanger
– Dr Dre never was a gangbanger
– 2pac was a ballerina and never sold drugs after he become famous he was doing some stupid stuff like beating and shooting at people because he though he could get away with it. Without Suge Knight 2pac was just a skinny motherfucker. Oh and i like his music so fuck you.
– Mobb deep are the biggiest pussies in rap they are short as midgets and keep talking this g shit but never did g shit.
-T.I snitch to the feds but where the paper work ?, shawty lo make peace with him why do you think???
-Young Jeezy was never BMF? Yes he was ask Blue Davinci before the incident in the mall
-50 cent snitch on Preme? come on Preme was already on the watch by the cops before Ghetto Quran and yeah he went to jail for selling weapons and gettin caught by a undercover cops for drug trafficking crack
– If Game was a fake in Compton , he would be dead !
– Nas sold PACK he even said it in NY state of mind and nobody disagree

– Dr.Dre doing his thing and yall mad, gangsta move in silence fool
-2pac shoot a 2 cops like wtf you need more…
– Mobb Deep cant go in Queeens if they fake !
Cube wasn’t a banger.. He was just a nigga witta aittude who ran with bangers. Eazy E the only real banger in the squad. I co-sign the rest of your statement tho.. well i mean, The mobb is kinda like cube.. Poets hangin’ with Thugs.
You got wayyy too much time on your hands, lil boy
No need for a Grammy, “I was just trying to show that if you say what’s in your mind you can stand the test of time”
NAS IS A GREAT LYRICIST. BUT WHAT ABOUT BIRDMAN??? WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO GIVE THE PROPER HOMAGE TO BIRDMAN?

Hopsin vs Nas who is the GOAT?
Hopsin takes the win IMO because he is real talking about not doing drugs, tatoos and loving some Jesus! He also disses every fake rappers like its his job!
Unlike Nas who only dissed Jay-Z, Prodigy and Nature and went to hell for snufffin Jesus”
Hopsin is 27 and also skateboards and wears white contacts
and “no one tells him what to do but him like he says in his songs
Nas thinks he is cool by just focusing on the lyrics but he aint all that
Yao real shit you’re an idiot. Hopsin isa temporary fix.. as in he wont be around much longer.. them illmind joints r lyricaly nice but str8 corny.. U gon say Hopsin is the goat bcuz he keeps it “real” by not rapping about drugs, tats, ect and bcuz he rocks white contacts.. tha fuck? off yourself.. Nas aint the goat but he shits on Hopsin, no xlax.. No explination needed, your comment shows how dumb you are.
When you wish upon a star….fuck outta here
Hopsin is dope. He ant ne where close to being on a Nas level though. Thats a dumb ass comparison.
idk if you guys just dont like The Game for some reason.but hes a fucking beast if you think about it
-1 of only 3 Dr. Dre Proteges (Em Snoop Game)
* Over 10X platinum
– 5(thats every one) Number 1 albums
-Has cosigns from everyone that matters (except Jay Z and the Little faggot Lil B) Like Dre, Snoop, Cube, Nas, Wu tang, Kanye, Busta, Weezy, Big Boi, Diddy..the list goes on
-Singlehandedly destroyed G-Unit (they were the YMCMB of that time) and immediately dropped a 4x platinum album w/o any Dre or G-Unit help
-has 2 clothing brands, his own shoe
-Hes Grammy nominated
-He has never dropped a weak ALBUM
now before everyone goes calling me a stan or some bs. im stating facts. look them up.
Whose opinion matters more? Raps heavyweights and music reviewers or a bunch of haters on the internet?
RG-niggas dropping them troll-lists over here. Dre’s proteges aren’t even countable on two hands… The Last Emperor, Slim the Mobster, Hittman, RBX, Hayes, the last goes on.
“A lot of niggas PR stuntin’ like that’s the movement
And I’m the only nigga still known for the music” I know its a drake lyric, but that is nas in a nutshell. still about the music and getting recognition because of THE MUSIC, and not some other bull…

ONLY JA RULE SHOULD BE HONORED WITH SUCH. FUCK NAS #RULEYORK #FUCKFAME
you’re bad at trolling
Mr Hov is studied in Georgetown university.. My bad
What is this man’s secret to looking so young? Dude still has that baby face from when he put out Illmatic.
“When Nas made Illmatic I thought we was all dead” Jay-Z. Even Jay recognized who the architect of Hip Hop’s true “Holy Grail” is.
Damn Nas breaking molds
