Say word.
The listening session went down last night at Sony Studios, and it sounds like your boy Nas nearly took it back to Illmatic.
Every last song, from the first joint played, called "QB Tru G," to the last, "Can't Forget About You," was crack fuckin' juice. Word ... I'm so confident in this album, I'm so confident in hip-hop at this moment in time, I aint even gonna say shit else.
Fuck whoever don't believe in this dude.
...The N.
I hope this album is all you have professed it to be. I have been awaiting a true Nas album for quite sometime.
If the music is what we expect...Just wait till we see the live performances.....WHOA
this dude will bring back hip hop with this LP
ok Nas will bring back hip-hop while his cd is hot but then some wack fucker will come along and kill hip-hop again. NAS is the shit cause he is able to discuss subjects other than just slanging dope and hoochies and when he do talk about the hoochies u tend to believe him cause the motherfucker is handsome. FLA stand up!!!!
WHO CARES?
yo......im kinda getting tired of waiting for these albums to drop why cant they just coem out already
lol glad to see you excited mayne....but i mean, a great album was to be expected. nas' last shit was classic, it just flew over a bunch of niggas' heads.
oh well, powwwww
Every last one of you motherfuckers better get the album.
NAS IS THE GREATEST MC TO EVER BLESS A MIC!
It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell
Yo, this is not hard for me to believe at all. Nas is nice on the mic. When I heard "N" online...I was sold then. I will be picking up his cd in December. thats my word. His & Jay's. Its a wrap.
nas' last shit was classic, it just flew over a bunch of niggas' heads.

The shit was so serious that it just blew the rest of these so called conscious rappers out of the frame. Message to the FEDS set that shit off. I Even went to Philly to catch the concert. I think the album will be more than most cats in the industry can comprehend. ONce again I believe he will deliver a pill that is definetely needed but too big for the small brained nigga to swallow.
Damn what a short ass article!
Anyhow, Nas is that dude he murdered the "One Blood" remix he murdered "Everything I Love" on P. Diddy's album and now he's gonna murder this whole album from start 2 finish.
MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUMS OF 2006
5) Snoop - Blue Carpet Treatment:
The west coast O.G. is back Cali stand the fuck up! Ain't really feeling "Vato" like that but i know he got some shyt up there I'ma be boppin' my head 2.
4) Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
The Original Snowmen hailing outta Virginia, these dudes are monsters on the mic(and who said the south didn't have lyricist?)
3) Jay-Z - Kingdom Come
I know the Jay-Z stans are gonna be madd at me 4 this one. "How u from Brooklyn and Jay-Z not #1"
EZ bcuz I'm not a dick ridah and just bcuz he isn't number 1 doesn't mean he isn't getting copped.
4) Game - The Doctor's Advocate
G-Unit sit the fuck down! Banks only sold 240 thousand in 4 weeeks. That shyt is pitiful. I'm not a ni99a that bases skill on sales but if thats wat you use as a measuring stick go upside ya head with it.
Anyway Game is gonna do big numbers - "One Blood Remix" is the hottest shyt bangin' right now and for the '06 period.
1) Nas - Hip-Hop Is Dead
FINALLY Conscious music has made its way back to the Hip-Hop forefront. I'm so fuckin' happy I'm jumpin' 4 joy! ALL SNAP UR FINGERS, LEAN WIT IT POP WIT IT, MY GRILLS SHINE IN THE DARK NI99AS NEED TO EXIT 2 THE LEFT, 2 THE LEFT!
Hip-Hop was dead!
1979-2004
After 25yrs. of greatness
Rest In Peace........SIKE!
BROOKLYN STAND UP!
Big Sun:
What it is my dude?
PEACE 2 USUALS, ITS FRIDAY EARLY!
THE WORLD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ESCO TRASH'S ALBUM! THIS DUDE IS TOO INCONSISTENT ANYWAY! JAY-Z KILLED HIM WITH HIS RESPONSE TO ETHER, SUPER UGLY!
Correction:
Game is #2 on the list not #4
Yeah its about time my boy...i ain't gon download that shit.imma buy that shit fo real...nasir
@ XBK Dude
Chillin fam I'm up in this excited to hear the listening party news. Hopefully the album is everything cats project it to be. I'll definetely be at the concert. How you?
@ Xclusive BK Dude, The list you put up is pretty much my what i'll be purchasing this year. No doubt
@ Dredrick Tatum, the only thing Nas has ever been inconsistent with is his beat selection. As far as lyricism, he's always been on point. But I can almost gurantee you that this album is gonna be straight fire. You know why? Cause the Ni**a took his time with it. Some of these other labels need to stop rushing projects out and just chill.
Looks like Im going to have to come out my pocket this month on some cds

Who the fuck are you nigga. Go cop that joint when it drops, take Jay-Z's dick out your mouth and listen. Love it, then recite it and watch Jay-Z bite it.

So little words to this blog Reckless, but yet you said all that was needed to be said even though I wish you could've elaborated a lil more. Im def copping Nas' record. Every joint Ive heard so far was ON POINT! Nas is the only artist Im looking forward to copping this month and in the near future besides Jay and Jeezy. I dont wanna make this into a Jay Vs. Nas thing but I KNOW Nas' record will be 10x better than Jays Im still copping both tho
WATS ROCIN BIG SUN AND XBK?
IM READY FOR A NAS ALBUM
=TAH=
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Whats good mama, long time no speak...how's everything with u?
HONESTLY I RATHER BUY A JAY ALBUM B4 A NAS ALBUM! I GOT MADD LOVE FOR JAY!! I GOT LOVE FOR NAS 2 BUT I GOT HELLA LOVE FOR JAY! CUZ HES THAT DUDE!

XBK
I GOOD U KNO. JUST IN SCHOOL DOIN MY THING. WHATS BEEN GOIN ON W/ U?
=TAH=
Oh yea! I'm ready! Hip hop! Hip HOp!
Good fuckin morning to all the usuals!
I hope working with Nas has changed Game a little. Nas is able to be so versatile in his topics the only one better IMO was Pac. I think if the Game can span his topics a little more he will elevate his game 10 fold.
Keeping on Topic though This is the second time today I have heard the album was the ish.
WELL HOPEFULLY NAS AND JAY BOTH DO WELL! I PERSONALLY THINK JAY WILL SELL MORE THAN NAS! WHY? IDK THATS JUS HOW I FEEL.

@ tahjack50n
What's up Shortie how's things going? I'm chillin here.
@ XBK Dude
What you think?
BIG SUN
IM GOOD U KNO! BIG SUN WHO U THINK WILL SELL MORE? JAY OR NAS?
=TAH=
I think Nas will deliver a better Album Jay will sell more. Just due to the commercial aspect surrounding Jay and his commercial appeal. I think Nas is a true artist though which is what separates the two for me.

I would like to put my input on this. Jay will sell more but Nas will have the better album. This is just due to Jay appealing more to commercial.

YEA I UNDERSTAND WHERE U COMING FROM. I JUST LOOKED OVER JAY'S SO CALLED TRACK LIST! HE DOESNT HAVE MUCH TO SAY! NEITHER DOES NAS REALLY. I WONDER WAT STORY THEY BOTH HAVE TO TELL.
=TAH=
TRUTH IS ALBUM WILL BE NICE BUT SALES WILL BE 120.000 FIRST WEEK AND IT WOTN GO GOLD.
ITS 2006 NIGGAZ, A BAD YEAR 4 MUSIC AND ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER, IT CERTAINLY CANY BE WORSE.
DUMBFUCKS DEFJAM:
DEC 12 - GHOSTFACE AND YOUNG JEEZY COME OUT THE SAME DAY
DEC 19 - FABOLOUS AND NAS COME OUT
ARE THEY FUCKING RETARDED?
THE OTHER THING THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY IS THAT JAY HOMO WILL RELEASE ON THE 21, SAME DAY AS U2 AND THE BEATLES.
NO NUMBER ONE SPOT FOR JAY GAY.
HAHAHAHAHA!
GAME WILL NOT DO THAT WELL EITHER.
DAMN WHY ISNT NOBODY BYING ANYMORE?
Live Nigga Prophecy, Big Sun, and My 2 Centz HAVE THE SAME OPINION! THATS CRAZEY!

Big Sun:

Limewire, Bareshare, ITunes, YahooMusic, the list goes on...this is the age of digital media CD's are played out like flat tops.
@ Tahjack50n
I really hate when artist compare sales because the ratio of shepards to sheep in the world is 1 out of 100. Therefore not everyone has the ability to think on their on to diagnose what is actually good music. Image sells these days unfortunately and if you ain't the linear thug stereotype you ain't getting bought. If you ain't talkin bout Coke there go your sales, most hip hop listeners have lost iq points as hip hop has become more simple. I just can't run with the sales aspect of things because I can't run with the sheep. Nas is the Langston Hughes of out time, and if he were to have gone instead of Biggie no one would have ever said he was anything less than a prophet of real Hip Hop Music in my opinion.
BIG SUN
WELL I THINK ITS SAD THAT MOST PPL CANT EXPRESS THEMSELVES BCUZ THEY THINK OTHERS WOULDNT LIKE IT OR BCUZ THEY R PROLLY GONNA B THE ONLY PERSON WITH THAT THOUGHT! THATS A GOOD THING TO HAVE A THOUGHT THAT NO1 ELSE HAS! IF NO1 RESPECTS SUM1S PERSONAL THOUGHT THEN THEY ARENT SMART ENUFF TO SEE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT ASPECT! FEEL ME?
=TAH=
@ tahjack50n
Support Real Hip Hop Whatever you feel that that is. I personally will just be picking up Nas' album, I'll cop Jay on the humble I just haven't been impressed by anything i've heard and I felt that the singles coming off the Black Album were crazy. (Except Change clothes that shit was wack) If He ain't coming harder than that I can wait.
