I love educated and conscience rap. Nas is always kicking the realness.

Nas has always been good at doing those 3rd person joints. I like this but im still waiting for that undeniable banger from the new album.----fight----for---us---!!

Excellent lyricism, but damn this track sounds wack as hell. It sounds like a dance track for a war, lol.

Nas is back n*ggaz, that dude is the truth....stop haten on that n*gga top 3 alive: jay, nas, mase holllllla....

The subject of conflict diamonds is front and center right now, but the rushed hooked and weak world music beat just drowns out the importance of the content. Nas hasn't had great beat selection since it was written and beggs me to ask if he needs more creative input outside his own mind. 2.5/5 by the way homie above me mentioning mase along jay and nas is just comedy. Who takes that type of nonsense seriously. Mase's bad boy shiny suite rap ushered in the first phase of rap music that began to suck the creative juice outta hip hop. Piece

Real sh*t, i love when rappers use there gift to actually create something with meaning. I like to party and all that, but rappers now-a-days are just reusing the same fomula - big asses, big rims, and big chains. I think it's good when an artist actually become a real artist and exercise creativity. This song isn't 100% original, but it's make me actually think while i'm listening. It's a time to think and then there is a time to party. I just think a shame that today people are lost in a cloud of smoke partying while there are other issues that are affecting them or somebody. But anyway...this is a muthaF*ck*n banga!

lyrics are - well we know what they are- it's nas for some reason i don't think the production is done, or it's a cellphone recorded bootleg. It's too short to be a finnished track. It makes sense that its a soundtrack clip, its too bad if its not on the album though. And the vocals in the music sound like the vocals from the titanic theme

Aight who albulmn is better nas or jay? if i was nas i would punch jay in his big ass lips for F*ck*ng my baby mom & allen iverson too....damn then again she was kind of a hoe.....lol....
Posted by gitback
Blakatheism is right about the beats. It was written was the last album that nas put out in which i liked every beat. Nas is a legend. He can rap over anything. Peep imagine. And about the diamonds: diamonds are for females. I would go back to fat gucci ropes of gold before i splurge on some faggot as diamonds. Diamonds are to this decade what shiny suits were to the 90's. If y'all stop buying diamonds, you could put a lot of european slave masters in africa out of business.
Posted by buckeyewu
The king is back on the real, that diamond track is off the wall. Its high time we had nas came back to bless the mic. He's a lyrical mastermind, if only people would actually take upon the message.
Posted by BossLady
This song is fire!...people are hatin on the beat but its not that bad to me. It for a soundtrack anyway. It sounds like something you would hear in a movie trailer. Blood diamonds w/ leonardo dicaprio. Its fire regardless. This is not on the new nas album tho. The wack audio quality makes the beat sound wack too. I heard the song somewhere else it sound betta..and i think longer too. This might not even be the final mix.
Posted by RealIsh
He should of got 50 for a verse and a hook that sh*t was wack
Posted by 125th
The beat is not dat bad, coul be better but it does it for me because he has had worse beats so i give this one da thumbs up once again nas's experience delivers gd lyrics once again
Posted by Lyricalist B6P
I like nas but what the heck is this??? nas on some muslim african power type *ish... Take the kufi off and make a song we can actually enjoy... Peace
Posted by Shorty Roc
What the F*ck is this beat and then that dudes shanti vocals solo in the bg after nas's last verse or whatever lol this is a joke? sounds like something that needs to be in a james bond movie blah

Posted by u kno
I downloaded this track and when i first heard the track i thought it was hot- although it was so low i couldnt hear it that good- then i came to the website to listen to it again a little louder, and this track is blazin- sounds a little like a kayne west joint-those war drum beats is hot- and nas spits rapidfire fast -so people sayin its wack or dont like it-they just ignorant and not listenin' to the lyrics-only gettin stopped by the beat (to qoute master killah from wu-tang 'triump' - "mostly the dumb are intrigued by the drum") meaning the dumb deaf and blind dont listen to rap lyrics- they only listen to the beats like rats following the flute of the pied piper- you dumb ignorant fools are always gonna drown in the river of ignorance like them rats too if you dont open your ears-minds and start thinking about whats happening in life- cause nas is dropping science - long live hip hop

Nas plays a great roll on young black african americans. I love all of his music and the way he express hiself in his music. He is the best rapper alive!!

Nas homie you gotto live long men damn u are the king in this game now homie i wonna strat it as now u did yh god love us as you said brap brap brap nas for live man
Posted by Bossslimgar
Yo nas is, and always will be the king. People that negatively portray him are just haters man. Cant take it that one dude is having all the glamour. Well, this dude chats the real sh*t man and speaks out on issues that we face in the world- wasnt that why rap was founded?- to display the horrors of the world? anyway all i have to say is that this is a nas track and he cant be tested in terms of lyricism. It aint his fault the beat aint all that, cos like he aint the dj!!!!!! k im outty, peace. Ammo
