    1. THIS SHIT IS 100% FIRE.

      Goddamn, I cant wait for this album, if the rest is anything like this it will be one hot fooking album.

      Hope Nas can make some good $$$ of this, you know Kelis needs her Jimmy Choo’s lol.

    2. This song is hot for real….. Somalia like New York damn i wish the promised land comes soon… come on africans lets all join together and fight for our rights

    3. if these are the last days, and 100 foot waves come crashin down, i’ll get some hash in pounds pass around some bud then watch the flood

      that’s hot

    4. fuck these guys…. i cant handle all this fucking music how they hell do they expect me to study when they release fire like this

    5. Ethiopian is the capital of the congregation, that is where the King comes from……..Wow. This s**** is fire!

    6. “Can’t stop apocalypse, my synopsis is catastrophic/if satellites are causing earthquakes, will we survive it?”-Nas

      Wow!!!!! This track is a banger!!!!

    7. jr gong channeling his father. nasty nas spitting with a purpose. nas might be goin through it personally but he always gonna be on point lyrically. damian laced the beat. this gonna crack the concrete all across the world.

    8. Pure vintage roots fire! This is real music with purpose and a true foundation…synthetic, fake, wannabe 90’s babies dont know shit about this!

    9. Every single song I have heard from this album has beat STRAIGHT CLASSIC HEAT. This album is going to be AMAZING! This is going to be the best album of the summer! I just hope the sales numbers reflect that.

      1. you have no taste in rap music if you think this shit isnt hot. get off that fat dick and clean out your ears bro cuz your fucking retarted.

    10. sick ass. getting it day it comes out. everyone whos not riding a dick then yall should as well. shit is tight. SUMMER SHIT!!

    11. I can’t stop listening to this track! Anyone who says that hip-hop is dead needs to listen to Nas and Damian Marley! This album is going to be classic! Three of the tracks already are!

    12. 100% Straight FIRE! Creatively nobody in the game is on the level that Distant Relatives is on…. More power to Jr. Gong and Nas… What they are doing with this album is absolutely revolutionary.

      1. good song, def gonna listen to this 2morrow. but how exactly is this revolutionary? i sure as hell dont see that

    13. it depends on age i think on this one. seems like younger cats are bored by it. if kool herc was bored by this type of sample we wouldnt have hiphop lol. im down id share it but dx needs to leak me new stuff. haha. perfection out

      1. Not true. I’m young and this shit is real to me. I think it depends more on if you listen to the lyrics or not and appreciate them.

      2. Im 18 and still a senior in high school n i gotta say im going to buy the album and bump it everyday till the cd dnt work till my ipod breaks. Nas is my favorite rapper of all time n this album is fire thus far

      3. i think your generally right, but im 20 and i hate the new school mainstream shit. im into rakim, nas, krs, kool g, black thought, older cube, wu, scarface, etc.

    14. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
      Nas’ verse in particular… All the elements of a great track were there, but it all falls down when you focus on what they say rather than what they’re trying to say — the concept of the song is great, but come on:”vision promised land with fashion like Madison Av., Manhattan, SAKS, 5th Aven….”
      Doesn’t make any sense to me…

      Doesn’t make any sense to me.

    19. we all got opinions. but real talk, if you dont like this, i dont like you. reggaee and hip hop go hand and hand. nasir fucking killed this. best rapper alive.

      1. yup.

        Distant relatives in terms of race and in terms of musical origins.

        perfect concept album

        Kool Herc- born in Kingston, Jamaica, moved to the Bronx NYC. the rest is history…

        if you don’t respect this album you’re fucked up

    20. If you don’t like this song, you were not born during the golden age of hip-hop. This is true, classic HIP-HOP!!!! Nothing beats this stuff today…Drake? Wayne? Nicki Minaj? Pshh fuck out of here man! Don’t get me wrong….I like the new wave of hip-hop! Infact B.O.B.’s new album sounds like it will be awesome! But nothing beats this stuff…..

      Jay-z, Nas, Raekwon, Common, Eminem..these are some of the only artists still around today that I listen to! Dre needs to drop detox!!!

      1. Co-sign. except for i really didnt like blueprint 3 that much, coming from a legend in the game it came kinda weak.

      2. Co-sign. except for i really didnt like blueprint 3 that much, coming from a legend in the game it came kinda weak.

      3. eminem was not prominent during the GOLDEN AGE. the golden age died when tupac and biggie DIED. 1998 was arguably the last classic year and eminem starting popping in 1999. i like this song

      1. Its obvious that you don’t like rap/hip-hop that was made with true talent n skill with passion added to the mix. Go listen to whatever plastic, radio bullshit you like.

    21. LOVE DAMIAN HE KILLED IT AS USUAL

      BUT NAS DOSENT FIT this beat at all and he never ever switches up his flow
      so typical and boring

      1.Em
      2.B.I.G.
      3.Big L
      4.Lupe Fiasco
      5.Bobby Creekwater

    22. Hip Hop is making a comeback, this is proof. Too bad most of my high school peers are too ignorant to realize what talent and skill are. Someone need to tell lil wayne he aint the greatest alive cuz nas is still alive. haha lil wayne aint top 20 alive.

      1. weezy isnt in the top 200 alive. weezy is an overrated piece of trash.

        but i agree with your basic point. however, unfortunately i think its going to be a long time before real hip hop comes back. most kids today dont know who people like rakim, krs, kool g, guru (rip), black thought, etc., are. you ask someone to name the members of wu, theyll give you method and thats it.

        its sad, but true. niggas dont want shit they gotta think about. weezy and these bullshit bubblegum rappers are dumbing the youth of america down.

        but anyways…..i cant fucking wait for this shit to drop.

      2. “you ask someone to name the members of wu, theyll give you method and thats it.” – and Red cos he was in How High 🙂

    23. Not bad, Nas flow could be a little better. Not saying I could do better but doesn’t match up with Damian’s energy on the track, least not till the end. Good shit though, really just picking at nothing with it. Tight.

      1. Heh the hell does an accent have anything to do with anyone’s sound on anything? I didn’t say anything like that. And as far as his energy goes, yeah he brought some but dude Damian sounded better on the track out of the both of them. The other songs they’ve released they both sound equal on the songs, back and forth sounding better and better. But hey, opnion sucka ducks, heh that’s the whole point of this.

    24. “If these are the last days,
      And hundred foot waves come crashin down,
      I’ll get some hash in pounds
      Pass around some bud then watch the flood”

      shit is ill

    25. All you bitch nigga’s with your dumb ass comments about this song being garbage…. eat a diseased dick, you cornball ass faggots. This collaboration is truly monumental! How the fukc can you disrespect royalty from the Hip Hop and Reggae side of things. You mothafukcas got me heated!!!!!!

      1. my boy BEATZGRYMM is about to bust a nut over some nas and damian…shew its a good song but damn son…just cool it for a lil while

    26. FIRE REAL HIP HOP AT ITS BEST IF YOU FEEL THAT CHECK THIS MIX TAPE ONwww.datpiff.com SEARCH LABOR PAINS THATS A REAL MIX TAPE THERE

    28. AFRIKA UNITE!

      We have everything in Afrika, we’re supposed to be rich!

      Nas & Damian Marley are superior men.

    29. REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A NAS SONG THIS IS SUMTHING DIFFERENT SO DONT EXPECT A NAS TRACK . EXPAND YO MIND THIS IS ESPECIALLY GOOD MUSIC FOR TODAY 4/20 WORD…

    30. Nas and Jr. Gong did thier thing…but really and truly dis song just confirmed how GREAT Dennis was…R.I.P. The crown prince of Reggae

    31. Lick a shot!!!! blaze it up…RIP Dennis Brown crowned prince of reggae!!! (If don’t know, D. Brown is the sample used (the hook and beat)….get your weight up).
