    1. Yo Apathy, good job man!! Ap’s gettin good at beats yo…He’s always been one of the illest emcees in the game but his production is gettin nice!

    2. The beat is wack and Apathy could have waited if he wanted to collab with Nas. DISSAPOINTED COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER BEAT!

    3. i dont understand why is nas fuckin with the likes of Tyga ,Wayne and Ross when Apathy shits on all of them together

      1. cuz Nas is still a mainstream underground mc and knows he has to continue to stay relevant to survive in this game and still spit dopeness. Nas, like Jay n Busta have pretty much workedwitheveryone.

    4. Always corny when low level underground corns feel the need to super-impose their vocals over tracks legends are on. I guess this is the only way gay ass Apathy can do a joint with Nas. Wack move, wack artist, wack beat, wack remix.

      1. Typical dumb Nas groupie, so scared of the fact that there are rappers out there who destroy him and rap circles around him anyday that they try to make it seem less, kill yourself.

      2. Oh em gee, there’s rappers that can outshine 4 month old nas verses. My whole world is tumbling down on me. What would hiphop do without you underground stans?

      3. you mr. snow are a complete idiot. you are talkin out your ass. go listen to stupid hoe. that is probably more up your ally

    5. Holy Shit! Ap and Nas are such an amazing combo! If you don’t like this your just flatout stupid and don’t know shit about hip hop

    6. Damnnnnn JT Snow , sounds like you have serious personal issues with Apathy. You musta really got your feelings hurt somehow by him. You seem super emotional about taking the time to drive your point home. Your “opinion” is off point and bullshit, and obviously no one else feels like that, but you. Probably cuz your issue with Ap is personal. Lmao. This shit is hot. Beat is dope, Ap kills it. Stop being so negative.

      1. if they put some old school shit on here would you troll in the c-section about how it’s “so old”
        dont be so narrow minded and admire good music when you see it

      2. “dont be so narrow minded and admire good music when you see it”

        more like admire good music when HEARD, herb.

    7. Apathy been that dude

      If homie woulda swallowed his pride and wrote songs about skateboards and Beer Pong like Atlantic wanted him to he’d be a household name by now

      1. Well, they’re in the same boat. Nas ain’t able to write a hit, too. It’s his 10th year without a hit, so fuck off with bullshit, you bitch. If Nas rappers murder Nas on a track, you clowns try to play it down by saying that they got less success, is it other rappers who have more success, but also so lesser skills, it’s Nas who outshines them. Fucking revisionist ass niggas, always trying to turn shit around for the sake of favoring Nas.

      2. He couldn’t write a hit record?? Have you ever even heard his music, you absolute retard?? Have you ever heard “School?” What about his whole debut album, “Eastern Philosophy?” I swear there are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on this website, it amazes me. The dude was right. Apathy should have stayed with Atlantic just to put ONE album out, so he could gain recognition and then go independent. But as major labels always do, they wanted him to do some fake shit that wasn’t really him, and he wouldn’t have it. That’s the definition of a real dude and the opposite of a sellout. This dude should be a household name, he’s easily one of the nicest to do it! The whole Demigodz click are animals! Too bad Louis Logic is gone…

    8. Thanks to Apathy for showing those mainstream bitches that there are rappers who’d EASILY destroy their heroes if they wanted to. Apathy murdered Nas on this track with ease and would do so on any other track. That’s what happens when the weakly skiled Nas jumps on tracks with rappers of another caliber and not people like Tyga or Wayne, he gets embarrased.

      1. The fuck am i reading? Nas’ verse and vocals are around 4 months old. It’s not like dude was in the stuido with nas when he was writing his verse and renegaded him. I swear if a dude adds a little diction to his verse you underground stans bust a nut.

      2. yo I love both Nas and Apathy and i would not say Nas is weakly skilled at all. nobody would. we love em both and that shit is just startin beef.

    9. For all those youngsters blinded by the mainstream hip pop, just press play and listen to some real shit. simply spectacular. I would give it 6 stars if i could. AOTP for life!

    10. Idk y u guys are talking about apathy killing nas on this. I’m sure it was an honor for him to be able to do this remix as he is a huge nas fan. I guarantee he didn’t go into this thinking “oh yea imma show this guy how the underground gets down”.. Anyway this is an amazingly dope remix. Nas’ verse is older but still great and apathy ripped the track a new azzhole as usual! Simply great.

      1. weezy is the worst thing that ever happend to hip hop..weezy is the worst thing ive ever heard…weezy would be shook to go up against Ap..swag up?? ur korny young buck..

    11. Weezy? Word? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit! This track is dope! Nas and Apathy destroy anything that wack ass punk has ever done! Album sells doesn’t mean shit to hip-hop fans.

    12. Ya’ll are trippin’ sayin’ Apathy killed Nas on this. Nas kept his lyrics within the theme and context of the song. Apathy just got on and started rappin’ about anything. Anyone who raps knows it’s way easier to put ill rhymes together when there’s no particular topic. Nas put a ill verse together and fit perfectly with the theme of the song and the film. Ya’ll don’t respect or recognize lyricists no more.

      1. Shut your excusing ass mouth up, nobody would say the same thing if it was Nas who killed another rapper, yall Nas stans are always the first to say ”Nas killed (insert any rapper you can imagine)” without a particular reason. You’re so blinded, you can’t even admit it when another rapper murdered Nas and this is what happened here, shut up with that ”b-b-b-ut” talk.

      2. Listen to you man…how did you become such a loser? Look how mad you are at another man’s opinion. That’s very bitch-like.

      3. Very funny to read that from the same guy who said other people have no respect for lyricists while the exact same thing could easily said about you regarding Apathy. You just ethered yourself, you fucking clown. You’re not alone though, that’s exactly what Nas fans always do.

      4. Look at my original comment. Now look at your responses. Get a hold of yourself buddy. I think Apathy is a excellent producer, and a decent MC, but he could never fuck with Nas in a million years, and he’d probably be the first to tell you that, although you still wouldn’t accept it. Listen ‘Anonymous’, I don’t know if Nas fucked your girl, or what your personal beef with him is, but you’re way outta control. Take your medicine and calm down sonny. What if your mom read your comments? Admit it, you and her would both be embarassed.

      5. Sensaye, you think Apathy is a great producer but a decent rapper?? HUH? He’s not even a producer man. Firstly, and obviously he is a rapper, not a producer. And, he’s much better of a rapper than a producer. You got it all backwards..

      1. Apathy said on his formspring account last year when asked that he doesnt even listen to canibus and hasnt since 2000 BC

        Try again

      2. WHAT? Are you fucking serious? you got to be the dumbest mother fucker to comment on this song. Sound like cannabis!? are you kidding me? stupid homo!

    13. apathy fuckin’ sucks…. his album was overrated as hell….

      i aint sayin’ it cos he’s white…. it’s just generic sounding garbage….

      that shit and nineteen ninety now fall in the same ‘overrated underground’ list for me.

      1. Nineteen Ninety Now, overrated? Loooool what an idiot. That was the best thing to come out of 2010. Your probably going to tell me Blue Slide Park was a classic, right? Ha Ha.

      2. dumbass.. u dont even kno what hip hop should sound like lol go listen to lil wayne or drake.. main stream sucks because of u

      3. Dude your gay as fuck! you really dont know shit about hip hop. fucking garbage ass hater. go listen to some young dummies and lady gaga faggot.

      4. He’s right. That shit is overrated. And you dudes that can’t handle people having their own opinion are immature clowns. Your repsonses are predictable and ignorant.

      5. You fucking morons, NINETEEN NINETY NOW was the best album to come out in 5 years, are yall seriously fuckin retarded?

    14. Nice to see Nas with Apathy….decent track.
      Dont hate on HONKEY KONG…. youtube him before you say anything… he spits!!!!!!

    15. btw if ur hatin on Apathy at all … ur makin ur self sound really stupid and u shouldent be on this page.. like you word.. u obviously dont kno what real hip hop sounds like.. u should jus go and listen to drake or somethin .. and ofcourse everyone on here is a nas fan..all im sayin is … Apathy is a BEAST!!! much love outa the 215

    16. Nice Collabo! I only got question after hearing this, whens a new DemiGodz album dropping? I need that shit like a fat kid needs cake lol

    17. This is what Hip Hop is all about, fucking fire!!!

      Yall should check out ”Eastern Philosophy” one of the best eastcoast albums of the last decade, such ill concepts on there.

      1. I’d have to agree. Apathy’s is one of the best in the game by far. Him and Crooked I are just way too lyrical and polished when it comes to production and writing.

    18. Sorry I get amped over hip hop n I mighta just busted a nut.

      A real man shouldn’t have to say “no homo”-Jadakiss

      1. Nas himself started that shit with ”Eminem murdered you own your own shit” and his fans followed. People aren’t able to enjoy a song as a whole anymore, it’s always about who got outshined.

    19. …and Nas is my favorite rapper ever, but Apathy absolutely kills his verse line for line. You can’t sleep on the dudes skill and expect to keep up. Regardless of who you are. He’s too damn lyrical.

      1. The irony of Nas fans making a complete turnover compared to their usual behavior when Nas outshined a not so talented rapper. Now someone destroyed Nas and it’s ”Why do you people say Nas got killed?” LMAO!!!

      2. The Original track had Nas and premo its been out months. Apathy added his verse to it so ho u gon compare a track where sme1 adds a verse after????

      3. None of you guys the same shit when Nas added his verse to Tyga’s track after he heard the other verses. You’re just making yourself look pathetic. There’s rappers out there who’d kill Nas on anyday, get over it.

      4. Jay added his Renegade verses after he heard Eminem’s and still couldn’t come up with something better, so your whole point is ridiculous.

    20. I like this track! Apathy is a fucking beast! Been! Check his other stuff out. Nas is Nas and i like when he raps this style.

    21. 5/5 ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

      1. Nas influenced Elzhi and Lupe Fiasco, too. Doesn’t change the fact that all three of them would easily murder him on a track.

      2. Eli and Lupe will smack u for that comment Lil niggas really believe the shit u blog! Nas is second to none…..

      3. Lmaooo@ Elizah and Lupe Fiasco murking Nasir even them niggas will Tell u to shut the fuck up! Lol. Nas is king!!!!

      1. Lol @ Nas won’t have courage to put Ap on his album… For real man” what u bitch as niggas b smoking?

      1. Agreed. They’re too fucking dope together. One of the best underground/mainstream combos ever. Don’t think Nas has the courage to put him on his album, though.

    22. when yall gonna get sick and tired of bubble gum bullshit that mainstream produces underground hiphop is the solution

    23. ARE YOU PEOPLE DUMB? THEY’RE NOT ON THE SONG TOGETHER, THIS UNDERGROUND RAPPER “APATHY” GOT HIS HANDS ON THE VOCALS AND ADDED A NEW BEAT/HIS OWN VERSE.THIS IS NOT A COLLAB.

      AND HOW ARE PEOPLE COMPARING APATHYS VERSE TO NAS? APATHY SPITS PUNCHLINE RAP LIKE JOE BUDDENS, ROYCE AND HIS SQUAD…IT’S NOT COMPARABLE TO LYRICAL ARTISTS LIKE NAS. HIS VERSE WAS SIMPLE AS HELL! WTF NO DISRESPECT, JUST BEING REAL…PEOPLE CONFUSE MULTI’S WITH LYRCISIM.

      1. Yeah, simple as hell. His punchlines were highly lyrical, Nas couldn’t put a verse together like that in 10 years. Stop it.

      2. someone has clearly never listed to Apathy, Jedi Mind Tricks, AOTP, etc. Dude is not some half-baked punchline rapper, look up his track “I remember”.

    24. Apathy is another simple nerdy, white rapper who is deemed “lyrical” because he uses words like “atomic”, “comet” and “demonic”. (Like 98% of the other underground backpack rappers)

      There are lyrical rappers (GZA, Nas, Mos Def, Black Thought, Jay Electronica etc) who are really intelligent and deep and then there are the rappers who pretend to be lyrical (Apathy, Slaughterhouse, Ras Kass, most underground rappers white boys like)

      How are Nas and Apathys verses comparable exactly? Look at the start of these verses

      Nas: Yeah, ya’ll know I gets it on, sip on Dom
      Clear the throat, wet the palate
      Compose a ballet, then expose a rare talent
      The kick drum will have you numb, the snare’s valid

      Apathy: I’m an abomination an atom bomb
      my verse is atomic
      approaching the planet with power of a hurdling comet.

      It’s not comparable….It’s clear as day which verse is better when you read it on paper. People get caught up in the delivery and the multiple syllables. Nas is a deep dude, a deep writer…Apathy is just another backpacker who grew up listening to Nas and 90’s rappers trying to emulate their style when he’s not half as intelligent as they are.

      1. Apathy may have gone with the punchline style on this track but throughout the course of his Career he’s rapped about many more unique and varied topics than nas has

      2. You tell you wouldn’t get all wet if it was Nas who dropped that verse? Every single Nas fan on here would call him the GOAT for that, so don’t act otherwise. Nas got murdered here, there’s nothing more to that. Nas fans always use a point where’s better at, is there another rapper who’s better than him at it, they let the point go quickly. This applies to anything.

        BTW, Apathy’s far from being a generic underground rapper.

        First off, he’s great cohesive albums to his name, not like other dudes who only rap on freestyles.

        You should check ‘Eastern Philopsophy’ if you still think he’s only about punchlines. I’ve been waiting on a Nas track that can fuck with ‘The Buck Stops Here’ since it dropped and Nas didn’t manage to come close in 6 years now.

      3. Many rappers do multi’s just for the sake of it, but what is a guy like G Rap then who’s able to drop crazy ass rhyme schemes while telling a coherent story on the level of Nas’ best tracks? You can like Nas’ music the most for different reasons, but he’s far from being the most skilled rapper out there. The pure perfection of rapping G Rap displayed on albums like Live And Let Die is still unmatched to this day.

      4. Is this kid retarded?? Have you even heard Apathy before? What a dumb fuck, Apathy is one of the nicest to do it, man. And he’s been doin it for well over a decade. Ignorant ass dude talkin nonsense.

      5. White or Black Apathy been nice since like 2003 when I first heard Of him. He’s done Other joints with Premo that are sick as hell. Let’s not get it twisted tho u best believe Ap is a Nas deciple kid said it himself he studied Nas style… Apathy killed this joint but I’m pretty sure he was amped up just to get on this joint with his rap idol… Nas the illest Mc to hold a Mic! “IT AIN’T HARD TO TELL”

      6. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE FOOL! DELIVERY PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE!!…SOMETIMES ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY ITS HOW YOU SAY IT!! SlaughterHouse is lyrical

    25. Nas is the most critique emcee in the world…Damn can heads just appreciated the fact he’s a true emcee…s/o to Apathy, that was tight work B.

    26. Nas too seasoned for the game right now lol…flow crisp, timing next level, lyrics refreshing…made apathy sound juvenile and apathy’s verse was dope..

    27. We all know Nas is the shit
      but I’m kinda surprised with how hard a lot of these people ride his dick.
