    392 thoughts on “Nas – Trust

    1. This has been a good summer so far for hip-hop. Live From The Underground, The Stoned Immaculate, Control System, and tomorrow Life Is Good.

    2. Nas stepped his game up this year. I think him and Kendrick Lamar released the most songs since 2012 started.

    3. Best “banger” on the album and my favourite as it’s real personal for me rite now.

      Trust with friends, women and business

      Nas been real – seen I was teen in school and Stillmatic dropped – NAS=GOAT

      1. How is the beat horrible Boi 1 Da makes some good beats and the beat goes well with his lyrics which is not just OK its better then OK its real rap its about his life and what he went through nas is better then your favorite rapper

    4. This song is amazing ! Every song on the Life is good album is good. I think Nas just dropped a classic for true hip hop fans to appreciate.

    5. this is the Nas that makes him great.

      no other so called great rappers at the moment are dropping the type of substance Nasty is.

      1. there’s tons of rappers that been doing this for their whole career. you just don’t know shit.

      3. Yo don’t listen to the same dude who posts 3 times in a row b

        AOTY

    9. NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE!!!,,,,FUCK AROUND IF YOU WANT,,,THIS IS IT,,,CANT GET MORE HIP-HOP THAN THIS,,,,DA FUCK!!!!

    10. After Nas flop, I don’t want to see all these Nas dickriding on this site no more or else I would fuck somebody up by tracking their IP and beating the shit outta them.

      1. Legends dont flop??????? ROTFLMAO. What did Prodigy sell last week? And to the faggot talking about raping my sister, we will see next week when DX releases the amount of records sold.

    11. Unbelievable shit from the GOAT. Life is Good = another classic to Nasir’s catalogue.

      BE A COLD DAY IN HELL WHEN THEY CREEP ON ME.

      1. lol. these fucking dickriders, man. a song like film easily destroys the greater half of this album.

      2. I’m with you. 6 years… Nas had 1 album since Hip Hop is Dead. And this song smokes that album. This whole album does. And, I like film but this album is the best thing Nas has put out since Stillmatic.

    12. Wack garbage. Nas is over. “How can I trust you when I can’t trust me” off Book Of Rhymes >>>>>>>>>>>> this whole song.

      1. tell em why you made son!,,,,no matter where its from,,,,this is real spit,,,,make some hotter shit then,,,,,,niggas is crazy,,psss!

    13. best rapper alive!! i know this is a bonus cut but would be great to have visuals to this joint! its epic

      1. If you think Jay ain’t measuring his pen game against Nas, you’r out ya damn mind. Pressure is back on Jay Z to do an introspective album, not that big bank take little bank shit.

    14. OK MMG,YMCMB,Coke Boys Wacka ,Gucci lame all you wack ass rapper’s fall the fuck back. Let a real Emcee show you how it’s done. NAS motherfucker’s!!!!

    15. Ok MMG,YMCMB,Coke Boys,and all these lame as rapper’s. Fall the fuck back and let a real Emcee show you how it’s done. NAS mother fucker’s .

    16. Fall the fuck back all you lame ass rapper’s that been on the radio. Let a real Emcee show you how it’s done. NAS is Back.

    17. I picture gucci mane listening to this album…..only to fall over and have a seizure cause of the utter dopness.

    18. The result of Nas turning his recent pain into progression and piecing it all together positively is Life Is Good, a project thats almost destined to be a contender for album of the year. For those needing a definite answer, you could say that Nas is back, but for those who are in the know, its more accurate to say that Nas never truly left; hes been here the whole time. Most were just too busy watching thrones to notice.
      No diss.

      1. wow. dude’s getting all wet and over the board because this nigga finally dropped a decent album, the same shit that happened when stillmatic dropped.

    19. U.S.A Life is Good Downloads

      Estimated Illegal downloads of Life is Good. 2.5 million in one week

      Estimated Legal downloads of Life is Good in one week. 300 K

      Nas you are the best but its a pity you cant trust us. legaly or illega;y everyone will copy your album tommorow. its unfortunate that those who download it illegaly wont benefit you with shit. broke niggas like Okay and everyone who post as annonymous.

    20. Cosign.

      Let the posers stay at home and guard The Throne while the real niggas rock with The king on the battlefield.

    21. 30 year old Anonymous bitch or rex or watever wackness he appears as is bleeding all over his grandmas basement right now, somebody get a gynecologist for her.

    22. Damn, pressure is on Jay Z now to pen some major shit on his next album. Jay is in a class of his own businesswise, but make no mistake, he wants that Nas type respect from his peers.

      1. Trust me Jay will never give his peers an introspective peek. He have an inconceivable bulletproof bravado ego that he has to protect.The closest as far him leaking any emotional lyrical content was on “Lost Ones”.

    23. ALL THE HATERS ARE MAD NOW!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! KEEP CRYING BITCHES, YOUR LAME ASS HATIN COMMENTS ARE MEANINGLESS!

      NAS THE GOAT! AT THE VERY LEAST, HE’S IN THE DISCUSSION..

      1. lol, you really think nas caring about you dickriders? he’s just glad that you guys are spending your money for him.

    24. i cant stand this hhdx website sometimes, can i just listen to some music or watch a video without a million ads poppin up and playing louder then wat im tryna hear?

    25. the deluxe edition is arriving in the mail tommorow 🙂 this shit doesn’t deserve to be downloaded especially considering all the money issues Nas has had to deal with, this nigga needs my paper

      1. This track won’t be on the physical copy, it’s only if you buy it through Itunes but either way it’s a good buy

      2. Yeah no doubt, I’ll download this one but as far as the rest of the album, it’s been purchased. I’ve been waiting for the shit for weeks.

    26. BUY HIS NEW ALBUM LIFE IS GOOD IS A REAL GREAT HIP HOP ALBUM HEARD SOME BIG TRACKS ON THERE NAS IS A LEGEND

    27. Best Nas verses:

      1.Our bullets and triggers our enemies pullin’ on innocent women and children
      It wasn’t no ghetto killers who mixed up the coke and put guns in our buildings…

      2.My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale
      Pardon me type in my 2way while I’m chargin’ my cell
      It’s hard to be iced up with Gucci god poverty’s real…

      3.Yo, the new Mike Tyson’s Roy Jones
      Bill Clinton’s the new JFK, without the hole in his dome
      The new Don Trump is Bill Gates
      Not because his occupation, it’s ’cause we respect his cake

      4.The buddha monk’s in your trunk, turn the bass up
      Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
      Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
      School a fool well, you feel it like braille…

      5.My man put the battery in my back, a differencem from Energizer
      Sentence begins indented with formality
      My duration’s infinite, moneywise or physiology
      Poetry, that’s a part of me, retardedly bop
      I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block..

      1. Memory Lane is by far the greatest shit he ever wrote, that’s just magic. He’s has many dope songs, but this one is his crown jewel to me.

    28. Chills, goosebumps, not sure I’ve heard a better Nas song ever, if not its one of his top 2-3. Just plain sick!

    29. Wayne is my favorite rapper, but I don’t hate on NAS this album has been great. Respect to NAS.
      5 stars

    30. wow NAS.. dude said:

      “it’s rare I listen to niggas who never been in my position, a catterpillar cant relate to what an eagle envisions”

      that’s a rhyming mutherfucker!

      1. nas has sold out with iww, he just didn’t succeed on the level he had imagined, so he went back and fooled you clowns till yall believed this “real” gimmick.

    31. Will this lead a new revolution of rhymin emcees?…will Jay and Em pick up the pen and pad for real now?…Will everybody finally toss all the shitty rappers to the wayside?….stay tuned for another episode of Life is Good!

      1. what a fucking idiotic loser. stay applauding nas while he’s selling out by choosing fat ross over other rappers that are way more capable while he has deluded you assclowns into believing that he’s real.

    32. nas is the nigga but i fucks w jay ether had it place now lets not compare the two just hope theyll work together again

    33. Youtube Lil Neek/Spend the Night. Dis sounds like something Nas or Jigga woulda been on back in the day!!!

    34. Fuck Nas.. Lil B is my niggaa,coped his Im Gay album 10x’s niggas hatin cuz that shit bangs, Get the fuck outaa here wid that Nas is GOAT shit, listened to illshit and that shit is so old and fucking shit, nigga please

      1. nas lyrically is better than pac and big only he didnt have the dope voice big had or the passion pac had he laid back.

      2. you forgot nipsey hussle in there, better than j cole for shure yu should check him … tmc is a fuckin classsic mixtape

    35. i dont know why he released this depressing. and thought we wanted to hear it. he could kept this for himself your who album sounds like crying. bitch finished you like tiger wood. you going die out on tour on the road. fuck a bitch

      1. dumbnas, i think u spelled ur name wrong, it’s s’posed 2 be dumb ass. cosign d stat above. u don’t appreciate classic hip-hop go and listen to drake’s album and feel better about urself

    36. why you hating on lil b and lil wayne, you niggas are so stupid dont you know the music industry is dominated by four record companies instead six. like it was before the 90’s. now you try to make it look like this generation is dumb or something they sound like this because the only look the record companies will give them. fuck you old head hating as mother fuckers. dont see when they get all the power they going finish us they dont fuck about either one of us young or old.

    37. LIFE IS GOOD DESERVES PLATINUM STATUS ..!!!..DAMN NEVER THOUGHT ID BE EXCITED TO HEAR NAS ON HIS A GAME AGAIN

      1. that album deserves to FLOP!!! Nas ft. Rick Ross, c’mon god, are you fucking serious?! Nas dissed himself with that shit!

      2. Nas album is real good, guy above is clearly a hater. Rick Ross ain’t that bad and the song was good, so u dissed urself by commenting dat shit

    38. Damn, the younger generation ears have been bleached with wackness for umpteen years, now when a pioneer drops classic material they throw rocks at it…If you kids only grew up during the golden era, you would have much more respect for true hip hop, so I can’t blame you for gravitating towards whackness, it’s all you have been programmed to hear….

      1. well, nas chose rick ross over more capable rappers, dude is selling out, you’re dumb for trying to associate this nigga with a sense of anti-wackness. nas caught hell for iww, so what golden era are you talking about?

    39. such a wack ass beat! Nas will never ever get back on his Illmatic shit. and i mean fully back on his Illmatic shit!

      1. You sound fuckin retarted first of all illmatic was the best album of all time so yu can never even get close to duplicating it not even nas and second of all it was like 20 years ago give the guy a fuckin brake what more do you want from him

      2. A clear indicator dis nigga don’t know rap, dis some of d best rap i heard in a while, how u gonna compare an album now to illmatic now anywayz? u want a nigga 2 stay the same for 20 years?

    40. Damn… Nas dropped a GEM… yet niggas hating? Well y’all the minority, check the song rating…

    41.

      1. lol. nas stans proud because they experience a collective feeling for the first time on this site, haha.

    44. album is a absolute classic…honestly not feeling cherry wine…this song should have replaced it on all copies of the album in my opinion, but not a fan of cherry wine mostly because every other song is so superior.

      1. lol. kill yourself, fucking bitch ass. you can’t take the heat, people already starting to shit on this garbage.

    45. the first verse is amazing, the second lazy and the third good.

      but the beat and the hook save the song.

    46. 1ST OFF FOR THOSE WHO AINT PEEPED THE LP YET.. LIFE IS GOOD IS A CLASSIC “A JIGSAW PUZZLE AERIAL VIEW O THE PROJECTS/ A KID SAW STRUGGLE BURIED A FEW OF HIS PARTNERS/ NOW I CHILL IN RESORTS ENJOYIN MASSAGES”… TRUE GROWTH AND REALISM AS OPPOSED TO THE BULLSHIT PUNCHLINE WANNA BE JOKE LINES OVERWHELMING THE AIR WAVES THIS SHIT IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. ANY FAG SAYIN EVERY SONG SHOULD BE LIKE LOCO-MOTIVES MEANS U LOCO INDEED BCZ THATS EXACTLY WHAT ILMMATIC WAS.. MISH MASH OF THE SAME FEELS AND SAME BEATS AND SOME O THE SOGNS MIGHT EVEN HAVE U TIHNKIN U ALREADY HEARD IT WITHIN THE SAME LP.. NAS IS AWARE OF THIS HENCE WHY THIS ALBUM HAS LEVELS AND TANGENTS OF DIFF FEELS AND MOODS… ALL UNDERLYING A OVERALL FOCUS… NO MATTER ALL THE BS AROUND ME “LIFE IS GOOD”

      … LOOK I KNO IMMA CATCH A LOT OF HEAT FOR THIS AND I REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK.. SUCK MY DICK… BUT HERE GOES…

      ILLMATIC IS NOT THE BEST HIPHOP OR NAS ALBUM EVER… AND IM A DIE HARD NAS\ HIPHOP HEAD… SO LEMME MAKE MY POINT… ILLMATIC WAS NO DOUBT A STELLAR ATTEMPT FOR ITS TIME. BUT EVEN WHEN IT CAME OUT AND I HEARD THE DUSTY DIRTY CLOUDY GRUNGE [THAT JIGGA TIL THIS DAYS TRIES TO EMULATE AND REITERATE IN HIS ALBUMS SINCE IT DROPPED] IT KIND OF MADE ME NAUSEOUS REAL FUCKIN TALK… AND IF U LIL FAGS HAD HALF A NUT SACK OR EVEN SOME GUTS TO NOT JUMP ON A BANDWAGON OF “CLASSIC” SHMASSIC BS JUS BCZ THE SOURCE MAG AND FAG ASS BENZINO AND THE OTHER GUY NEXT DOOR SAYS IT… IF UR TALKIN ALBUM QUALITY AND THE OVERALL PROJECT HAVIN A CONSISTENT SOUND/ FEEL THEN YES IT PACKS A PUNCH FOR 9 TRACKS AND AN INTRO BUT IF WERE TALKIN FULL LENGTH LP LIFE IS GOOD. WILL GIVE ANY NAS FAN AND JOURNEY THROUGH THE FEELS AND MOODS OF HIS GREATEST ALBUM ATTEMPTS… FOR THE MUSICALLY INCLINED [MEANIN THOSE WHO ACTUALLY KNO MUSIC THEORY HAVE WRITTEN ON A PROFESSIONALLY RELEASED OR LABEL RELEASED PROJECT OR EVEN CAN WRITE AN INTERESTING SONG OR/ AND CAN PLAY INSTRUMENTS (FRUITY FAG LOOPS AND MASCHINE OR MPC DONT COUNT DUMMIES)] YOU WILL SEE HEAR CONTINUOUS CHORD PROGRESSIONS WHICH MIRROR EACH OTHER IN DIFF SONGS… I.E THE WORLDS AN ADDICTION COMPOSITION VS. AMY’S CHERRY WINE OUTRO ADBILS … OVERALL THIS IS WHAT I CALL A COHESIVE ALBUM…. SUMMER ON SMASH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE BONUS TRACK BUT DUE TO POLITICS AND NAS CAMP [WDUP ANTHONY AND G??} THEY AINT WANNA HURT SWIZZ FEELING OR MAKE HIM FEEL DISRESPECTED IN CASE OF FUTURE REFERENCE WORK LOL… ITS NOT AS BAD AS HIS PREVIOUS GARBAGE [SWIZZ I MEAN] BUT FOR THE WEAKEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM IT STILL PACKS A PUNCH THANKS TO NAS FLOWS AND LYRICAL PROWESS… WHEN U DRUNK IN THE CLUB ITLL DEF DO THE JOB SO I GET WHY IT MADE THE CUT… ANYWAY… GO COP THE ALBUM AND STOP DOWNLOADIN IT AND BURNIN IT FROM UR FRIENDS U CHEAP FUCKS… GOT AN ADVANCED COPY AND STILL GONNA GO BUY THE SHIT… SUPPORT SUBSTANTIAL AND THOUGHT PROVOKIN HIPHOP. AND LET THE CALM REALIST [NAS] CHANNEL HI MOMS SPIRIT.

      1. CHANNEL **HIS MOMS SPIRIT… IF U DONT GET THE REST USE UR FUCKIN INTELLIGENCE… FOR THOSE OF U THAT HAVE ANY THAT IS… HAAAAAAA

      2. the album is average at best, Gods Son is better, after like 5 listens this album is boring as fuck, cherry wine, no intro, locomotive are keepers tho

      3. cosigning every word brotha! except the fact that illmatic isnt nas’s beswt album and jus the best hiphop album ever in general. u gotta think bruh that album is timeless and im sure life is good is gonna be too, no doubt life is good is a classic, but with illmatic that shit is just so ahead of its time it captured everything that was happining in new york like no other and actually makess u feel as though u are in queensbridge and peeping it through nas’s eyes, but other then that im cosigning every muthafuckin thing!!

      4. IWW was by far his best album, he came back with The Lost Tapes and everything else is overrated trash, ya fucking disgusting cocksuckers.

      1. How can Locomotive/ Accident Murderer and Cherry Wine/ be said to have the same flow

        Locomotive = that illmatic One time for yo mind thing
        Trust = That Lost tapes flow feel

        Haterz already lukin 4something to hate on now that the “beat selection” claim doesnt hold water

    47. How can Locomotive/ Accident Murderer and Cherry Wine/ be said to have the same flow

      Locomotive = that illmatic One time for yo mind thing
      Trust = That Lost tapes flow feel

      Haterz already lukin 4something to hate on now that the “beat selection” claim doesnt hold water

      1. shut up. nas hasn’t been able to change his flow in 20 years. a guy like black thought would absolutely murder and embarass him.

      2. Ho Below Me. Who has to switch styles? It’s all about being yourself. I guess you want him to rap like Waka…

    48. This dude is BY FAR the most horrible and corniest rapper to ever touch a microphone. “I’m on my Lilo & Stitch”, everybody who’s a fan should kill themselves.

    49. Nasir Jones @Nas
      Yo… LIFE IS GOOD is all ready #1 in the UK, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland & Australia!!! I love my international fam!!! #LIFEISGOOD

    50. Haha I saw 1 hater! Who is ashamed of putting on his own name! Hey you anonymous! How does it feel like to be a lonely troll? Lmao!

      Btw the song is pure epic! Instant 5/5!

      1. Says the dude who posted as Anonymous himself. Nas stans stay ethering nobody besides themselves.

    51. This is a classic album. Illmatic is past so do’nt expect nas 2 make another cos hes movin forward…HIPHOP IS ALIVE!!!!! Glad u back godson..

      1. that says nothing about the album itself. it’s just your own disability to digest music on a broader scope.

    52. most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, drake is gay. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.

      BAWSE!!!!!

    53. jay z – $450mil, 14 grammys, 5 classic albums

      nas – $6mil in debt, 0 grammys, ONE classic album over 19 yrs, and signed up 2 def jam, no hit songs since 2006

      end of story

      1. Your comparing a hiphop lyrical mastermind with some of the most critically acclaimed songs in the world, to a pop artist.
        And who gives if he’s broke? -Tyson was broke…does that make his boxing skills any worse? Truth is jay was just fake mainstream…

      2. ^^ what a biased idiot. jay can’t be fake, because he was only in it to become famous and make tons of money since the beginning. and it when it comes to skills, it looks like this: jay is a much better rapper. first off, nas has a horrible flow and can’t ride a beat for shit, he could never freestyle alongside big l, do something of the caliber of grammy family freestyle, give eminem in his prime a run for his money or come up with something like 22 two’s or breathe easy, let alone executing them in the perfect way jay did.

        and for the fact that yall dickride nas’ storytelling skills so much, jay came up with one fucking monster of a track in meet the parents that can EASILY fuck with nas’ best shit. so, jay outshined nas in his own lane with ONE attempt. he’s always proved himself as the far more versatile and skilled rapper of the two. that’s a fucking fact. not to mention that he completely destroyed nas on black republican and success, lyrically and flowwise.

    54. So, the very 1st comment I read was from someone with “Ricky Rozay” as their username..I’m sorry, but I can’t take people like this serious. Not only did what you say not have anything to do with the track, it was completely false. You’re an idiot, I honestly think this is the only probelm with this website… Idiots like this can freely open their mouths and spew out whatever nonsense comes to mind. Smh at todays youth, music is slipping away from us as a culture. If we allow watered down music to continue, then expect generations below us to become more and more ignorant.

    55. Jay-Z is a LIVING LEGEND! period.
      Proof: if he died tomorrow there would be hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of so called “haters” coming out the closet saying he’s the greatest of all time, etc. etc.
      To be as commercial as he is and still embody hip-hop is amazing! People who look at underground rappers as “real” hip-hop don’t understand that those rappers want to be JUST like Jay-Z.

    56. DX needs some sort of “filter” to separate the real Hip-Hop heads from the typical rap idiot. Pitchfork.com may become my go-to website for album reviews now. I can’t handle real artists’ music being disrespected by these random internet idiots/gangsters.

    57. the amount of dickridin here is crazy, give it up guys. mos def, common and canibus would easily out-rap nas on a song

    58. Jay z – uncontrollable hustler’s ambition, networth of 450 million, 14 Grammys, 11 number 1 albums, beautiful wife and family, countless historical verses and performances, huge influence.

      Nas = horrible flow, uneven discography, several failed sellout-attempts, wifed two whores, broke, pays child support for a daughter whose embarrassing him on twitter, works with Young Money after accusing them of destroying Hip Hop, stops working with his weedcarriers because he’s in fear of getting destroyed on a track, goes from the africa-loving social empowerer to the violent, drug-dealing, crime-glorifying don, signed to his arch enemy to be left 4 commerical dead.

      1. So what you’re saying is Nas is living life going through some real shit and Jay-Z is living successfully… who cares how they live or what they do, it’s their lives. Please, they are rappers, if you like one, go fucking support them, if you don’t then nobody cares, go support the artist you like some more… hate is the biggest waste of time ever, it’s like letting people fuck you while you could be doing better for yourself if you stopped wasting time. Nobody on this earth who deserves life gives a fuck about a hater, they get on with their day while haters rot away hating what they can’t do shit about.

    59. Ok let’s face it, nas back in the day had a few good songs, but come on dude just admit that your shit ain’t saying shit. I still believe jayz is a better rapper, performer and business man than nas

      1. Businesman?? Ahaa haa who gives a fuck??!! Bill Gates is a better businesman than Jay-Z why don’t you go and worship him.. You might be female, I don’t know but if you were one you’d be a gold digger that’s for sure you wealth worshipping idiot..

      2. “And y’all buy the shit, caught up in the hype
        Cause the nigga wear a coofie, it don’t mean that he bright
        Cause you don’t understand him, it don’t mean that he nice
        It just means you don’t understand all the bullshit that he write
        Is it “Oochie Wally Wally” or is it “One Mic”?
        Is it “Black Girl Lost” or shorty owe you for ice?”

        TRUEST lines in rap EVER.

    60. The thing is nas still sounds the same as he ever did and has no diversity of styles. jayz rips it in a variety of styles to any beat and adds different twists to his rhymes. nas is trash and has never stepped up his game to be able to hang with anybody let alone jayz. Hence the reason he hasnt had a hit since 2006. nas will NEVER be on the charts again

      1. ^^ what are hero, make the world go round and summer on smash then? you’re a fucking idiot, like all of nas’ fans. lol @ nas being a rapper for the people. he’s ONLY rapping for money. did I already say that you’re a fucking idiot?

      2. I agree, Jay Z is a better artist than nas, somehow i always feel what he does but on this album they’re only a few i can say i like

      3. Jay-Z switches his style, Nas is still loved and respected for sticking with the same one. I’m a fan of Jay-Z and i’m a fan of Nas, I personally think Jay has diversity and can change his shit up, Nas is just a veteran rapper that doesn’t have to. Jay-Z might be a better artist, more hits, higher sales, more popularity in the charts… but the charts is just the media trying to tell us what’s hot and what’s not and it really doesn’t mean shit if you can think for yourself and have your own opinion. Nas to me never sold out, he just evolved with the times and stayed true to himself whilst still making great music, even if he did throw in some features that are clearly to get a little extra buzz for some of the tracks. Nas never changed, he just stood by and let these other popular guys on his songs because he’s not dumb, he knows if you put a big name on something, people will gather round to see it 😉

    61. Fuck You Gay Z dick blowers
      your hate only burns u more, never Nas who is the Greatest after Pac
      if only you stupid motherfuckers stop using your asses to reason and making deductions, we would have sanity on here
      Fuck what u have to say, Nas is a Legend
      This is another hip hop magnum opus
      a classic, u Latrine head fools
      Nas been there and done that in style switch ups, only an ignoramus cant discern that
      Go do your hate and blame storms somewhere else

      1. haha straight up, look what jay z is coming out with today. Nas’ life is good album is lyrical as fuck

      2. Nas isn’t my favourite rapper but seriously he’s better than Pac? Easily better than Pac if Nas died in the 90’s everyone’d say he’s the greatest..

      3. Oh, wow. You’re so fucking cretive. Go back into the tomb you came from and enjoy the world where criticism against Nas isn’t allowed.

    62. TO EVERY NIGGA ON HERE DISSING THIS SONG AND NAS…….,,,,,,,

      WE DONT LISTEN TO NIGGAS THAT NEVER BEEN IN HIS POSITION, A CATERPILLAR CANT RELATE TO WHAT A EAGLE ENVISIONS…..

      YALL NIGGAS IS SOFT…THIS IS BONAFIDE HIP-HOP AND NIGGAS IS TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT MANS MONEY,,,,,,SOUNDS LIKE SOME BITCH SHIT,,,,,

      A LOT OF NIGGAS GOT KILLED CAUSE THEY WASNT PAYING ATTENTION,,,,,,,,YALL OBVIOUSLY ARE NIGGAS THAT CANT BE TRUSTED!!!!!,,,
      ,SOME OF YOU NIGGAS COLORS,BECOMING CLEAR MORE!! NIGGAS IS CRAZY,,,,,,THIS IS FIRE!!!!!!!!

    63. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on..

      LOOK AT THE COMMENTS & RATINGS ON ALL OF NAS’S SONG!

      He’s the most relevant rapper going right now..

    64. If Nas Is So Lame, why is Jayz Hanging around Him So much, why is he at every Nas event, so who’s kissing ass,who’s the best mc’s biggie jayz and nas he said it his self,in a interview they asked whos his competion he said nas and eminem, who did jayz want to be in the dead presidents video nas, everyone was there except him he turned it down, do ya research clowns,and for all yall smart dumb fucks calling nas fans stans, shit its seems like jayz is nas stan ,hes the one that switch up his flow cause it was garbage with all that fast rappinp bullshit,then on reasonable doubt he making songs like big,nas,and raekwon do ya research,when illmatic came out jay was rapping with original flavor and he was also big daddy kane’s flunkie,nas been ill since day one jay had to work on his craft before he got good

    65. Nasty!! This is Nas’ last album on def jam. His first official duty once he finds a new home is to drop that Lost Tapes 2! I amped for it more than ever after hearing this.

    66. Absolute madness…real hip hop in the hands of the great again.
      Soulful, emotional, atmospheric & inspirational!

    67. Aight. Aint written a verse in 6 years but I’m going back to the craft RIGHT AWAY! This shit makes you want to preach & reach inside and teach one.

    68. Shout out to Hip Hop DX they get EMC’s- that’s a lovely thing!! Nas bringing the truth people feel with the barz, that’s ill.

    69. this has a straight up i am feel to it. and i personally enjoyed the album. sounds like a b sides to i am. REAL.

    70. Damn why wont this on the album? This song is real as hell and Nas actually picked a hot beat, thanks to Boi 1da

    71. This is insanely dope. Nas picked hot beats finally haha. His lyrics are always on point but everything came together for a classic on this
