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
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.
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.
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!
R.I.P. Dennis Brown.. Nas Said The Promiseland sounds real Jamaican..Indeed its a Classic Riddim that Damien Reconstructed.. ITs dope as hell definately something to bump in the Whip.. I think Nas could of came Harder but its Fire!
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.
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
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
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.
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…

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 all you’re saying is the US should be in Africa and instead of trying to implement equality throughout humanity, the poor should become filthy rich.
Doesn’t make any sense to me.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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…
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).
SHIT
GODDAMN!! LOVE THIS SHIT!!!
SHIT is fire !!!
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.

Ethiopian is the capital of the congregation, that is where the King comes from……..Wow. This s**** is fire!
“Can’t stop apocalypse, my synopsis is catastrophic/if satellites are causing earthquakes, will we survive it?â€-Nas
Wow!!!!! This track is a banger!!!!

bumps in the whip hard..
This album is gonna be revoluntionary
this guy’s creativity never ceases to amaze!!
Big Tune!!!!

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.
Dope!
D Relatives should be epic!
I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE HOT FROM THE TWO YEAR TALK! JUST DROP THE ALBUM ALREADY!
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!
Hood niggas stand up, real shit is coming. Support Nas & Damian Marley.
relaxing song, dope beat, lyrics are on point. album should be fire
Classic. One Africa, One Love.
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.
Holy fuck. I’m excited for a bunch of upcoming releases… this is at the top
OH SHIIIT!! THESE NIGGAZ GOT ON SOME SHIT NOW!!!!

R.I.P. Dennis Brown.. Nas Said The Promiseland sounds real Jamaican..Indeed its a Classic Riddim that Damien Reconstructed.. ITs dope as hell definately something to bump in the Whip.. I think Nas could of came Harder but its Fire!

good song, def gonna listen to this 2morrow. but how exactly is this revolutionary? i sure as hell dont see that
Hot ass track no doubt.
Odlicno.
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
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.
I’m 21 and this is my shit
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
im 16 and this is the sgit i listen to. lil wank no thanks. nas and damian all the wayyy

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

so typical and boring
1.Em
2.B.I.G.
3.Big L
4.Lupe Fiasco

When you put 2 forces like this together not much can go wrong. It shows on this track. Fire.
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.
So was Nas suppose to have a fake Jamaican accent…to match Damian’s sound?
Pointless comment of the day LEMONZ. Nas brought plenty if energy
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.
I AGREE
I AGREE WIT YOU
sounds like they added Nas’ verse to the song as opposed to him actually rapping to this beat
Word, lil bit.
“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
I love Nas and Damian Marley. The album is going to be classic, but also check out King Carter at http://www.myspace.com/kingcarternc
