Wow, chris webber can produce good enough to be on a nas album? =/
Posted by Verse.Atile
The n*gga still should have had premier of the album. Thats a certified banger if he did. Will.i.am is cool though and les. I dont really care too much for scott storch. That could have been preem or pete rock or someone. Glad the lost tapes ii is coming though. Been waiting on that. Nas album should be crazy. I hope so anyway. Preem got some credits on his mixtape though for hip-hop is dead. So i guess i got to be happy with that. Get ready n*ggas. That sh*t bout to leak too watch but i dont even want to hear it dec 19 2006 is that day. Christmas coming early this year!

I agree. Preemo is a genius, nas was saying album 2 is supposed to be that long awaited all nas all premier lp. Sun is a genius with that album title, you see the response even before it came out. Why does it seem southern cats so irritated by the title. Plenty southern cats holdin down for hip hop. Even more pimp c says 'this ain't hip hop these country rap tunes' then gets madd at the hip hop is dead campaign. Blacks are headed in the direction of the red man, except our liquor is ganja and our reservation is the penitentiary. 'black man stand up, let's come together as a whole race and don't be feathered by the old days' peace to brad jordan!

Posted by white widow
Can't wait for this, it'll definately get slated no matter what comes out because, like jay-z's album, its been built up and hyped so much that everyone's got there own idea of what the album should sound like. It'll either be too commercial or too much like his old stuff, too lyrical, too basic, too many chart songs etc.. Its like a time bomb, everyone's waiting for it to go wrong. I think it'll be pretty much like most his old stuff with better beats and some interesting topics. Looking forward to the k. West track's and studying the jay collab.

Nobody can F*ck wit nas. His sh*t is alwayz classic.
Posted by Fade2Black
Common nas no premo

Nas is illmatic and stillmatic its good to see real lyricists do real things.
Posted by Mystory
Nas is wut jay makes him, nas was dead prior to "take over" jay helped his career twice now that nas is on defjam
Posted by Dirty South
Damn...anybody ever heard the song "the best"? it had a real epic-type beat and the hook was "who's the best emcees? biggie jayz & nas" (from "where im from" by jayz) i was hoping that would make the album...
Posted by DAMN
Lmao chris webber a producer hopefully his beats aint as bad as his trade to the sixers

Posted by J-Dot
Dirty south u need to shut and get real; jay z aint never made nas i don't know where u gettin that info
Posted by sdub
Nas was dead before "take over"? get the fuuck outta here, the take over killed nas, he was poppin before take over (minus nastradamus) but hey, you probably think yung joc, juelz and game are the sh*t right?
Posted by brooks
Everybody talk but they dont show love to the men that show us, if you like nas and waqnt him to keep doing the only real rap left buy his cd ,personaly i dont want another 50 cent being the sh*t again nas its true
Posted by respect

Posted by RAP
The q-b mac is back!! need more be said? i dont think so!
Posted by TRUTH HURTS
About damn time!! great tracklist. Can't wait.
Posted by BLAZEInfinite
Just had a listen to the album, im kinda dissapointed, hasnt had the same impact on me like the game or snoop album, some tracks be cool but my expectation was so high that maybe i expected a 5 mic classic which it isnt. Stillmatic is a better album. I'm hoping this is a fluke first listen and when i listen again it sounds better.
Posted by gambeano snitch
It's going to be the album of the year in 06.
Posted by Evgeez
^^ qhetik and kingdrp... I agree w/ you on the omission of preemo... A pete rock or 9th wonder joint would have been nice too... The songs i have heard so far have been 50/50... 1/2 whack... 1/2 hot... All in all though i'm looking forward to this...
Posted by Sho Intel
How is the n not on the album? that song is so sick. Its the best song out of everything i've heard off the album so far.
Posted by BkBrawler
What happend to his callabo wit damian marley?
Posted by Coney's Finest
One of the nicest emcees ever finally gettin that mainstream attention and loot.that's the best thing going on in hip-hop right now.let's get away from the beef,money,stuntin' talk for a sec and listen to what godson has to say.
Posted by smokes804
Aww an i was expecting where yall at and the n to be on the abum.anyway still a great tracklist
Posted by streetdisciple
Wheres the premo joint :(... I was really looking forward to another classic colabo between nas and premo:(
Posted by The Guru
...............from the title and track names, it would appear that nas is trying to make hip hop grow up to. Hopefully so; i am convinced that the poor record sales in hip hop is due to poor lyrical content. Hip hop is missing groups like p.e., and people like rakim etc.. The world is a more serious place now then it was ten years ago, people are more critical of every day things. The new wave of rappers aren't successfully filling in the shoes of the necessary elements of hip hop to keep it relevant in the minds of people..... Its going to have to grow up in order to last jay-z is right.
Posted by evenwhenilie
Krs1 joint?
Posted by prince hall
The premo, krs, and damian marley joints r probably being saved for lost tapes vol.2
Posted by DeadPresidents
Wow............. No white mans war or where ya'll @...........smh i was waiting so badly to hear that
Posted by JuliaS
So glad that the street disciple nas is finally coming back after that last lackluster lp. Word on the street is this may be nas' best album yet. I've been a nas fan since he was on live at the bbq. All you lames that's "flying high" with that punk jim jones are about to come down to earth with this new nas album. Respect real hip-hop! chrisdawiz
Posted by chrisdawiz
Okay now hiphop is speakin" nas commin bac wit some sh*t u kno its gon be sicc as hell. All these other fake ass buble gum rappers need 2 quiet down and make way 4 my n*gga nas 2 show em what real hiphop iz and what its missin''. On the other hand, i cant wait 2 hear him and jay z sh*t cuz more than likely its gon be hard than a muF*cker 2. I never thought i see the day when them 2 n*ggas squash they beef and collaborate on some real life music type a sh*t. But heel yea im gon be lookin foward to hearin all this sh*t holla atch boi from kc cuz im the next in line for this music sh*t!!!!!!r.i.p mac dre, fat tone,twin hog, and big l
Posted by D-Lo ''n'' KCMO
This sh*t is just copy and pasted off of wikipedia i bet. That exact info is on there, stated that same way. And it even has the bit about lost tapes 2 coming out next spring. Wikipedia isnt a guarenteeds source you know... The public can put information on there. Im not sayin this sh*t is wrong, just saying it might not be finalized. Also, i heard the album.. Its not amazing, its good though. It has a lot of meaning behind it and a message about hip hop dying
Posted by lazynator
Oh yea, that track produced by chris webber sounds good too. I wasnt sure what to expect from him....but i really like that track
Posted by lazynator
Yea, thats right!. Do your thing, nas!
Posted by Jae Good
Yeah boy, thiz gwan be the rebirth of hip hop, nas alwayz got wayz of making it sound hip, yeah boy " dont sweat the technique" hit them with tha rhythm"..cant wait to listen to " who killed it" damn
Posted by Refrigerator
Yeah, nas has killed it with this album. Nas over jay-z every time.
Posted by cyclone
I just listened to the album a few times and wasnt disapointed nor amazed. A few songs were great but a few were very mediocer. The albumn has very good production though. Not going back, carry on tradition, and you cant kill me are nice but my favs are blunt ashes and let there be light, and of coarse hustlers and black republicans. Who killed it is crazy too. Nas rhymes in a kinda 1920's gangster voice and tells a story. Never heard anything like it. Overall i give the album a 9/10
Posted by NASIR
I listen to the album, i excepted more from one of the greatest rappers all time, the beats he chose wase'nt that good except black republican and hustlers :( thats how i feel
Posted by The Truth
Yo tha album is hot!!!!, i just got it and damn.... Thought hovas album is dope....
Posted by Bay Ayrea Cat 415 u bitch nigga west Coast 1
I'm happy is about time allthogh scott storch is it right now primo is hot but i got to hand off the torch to my man scott he doin some crazy beats right now and him and nas beats go together like hand in a glove holllaa!!
Posted by hoe rok
Niggaz expecting too much from these rappers....when you rap for so F*ck*ng long its hard to come up with new sh*t.....even tupac was rapping about the same sh*t......nas and jayz should be in the discussion for the greatest rappers of all time cause its hard to keep going for over ten years
Posted by Young Money
Nigga this is sum tight sh*t..ur songd r rocken foo..but sum r ..but u did a good F*cken job..nas ur the sh*t..l8tz
Posted by DAVID

Posted by Koolie Blue
Eyyyy lol....nas is a dope rapper but not a commerical one.he is a killer on the mic. I definitly agree on that...but why iz u haters spit nasty on jay??? the only reason why you do that is cuz he is at the top of the game.i belive in one thing, jayz is tryin' to pull out hip hop from its current locked box to a different and nice one...a lot of dorky ass fools who used to stuck they ears on some derty south crap are thy one statin' all these nonsence....this two rappers are doin' the best fo da game. Hip hop needs zem fo real F*ckass....cant u see??? fo'all the haters ....u mo fus do u listen to muzic or skim through it?????esco & young h.o live fo evaaaa! real talk......
Posted by DAGY
