    1. 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.

    2. 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.

      1. 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.

    3. 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?

    4. 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.

    5. Little Brother, Jay Electronica, and Kendrick Lamar all used this beat as well but Kendrick killed it the best.

      1. 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

      2. NO! the beat is like that, they worked with it. Jay Electronica picks beats like this and it’s mixed like this too……………..

      3. 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!

    6. 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.

      1. 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

    7. see what dilla can do? like sacred music / holy sonics.

      that second verse is nuts.

      keep trackmasters far far far away from nas and his mic.

    8. 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?
