Rap-Up.com || New Music: Nas

Nas comes back with a vengeance on “The Don,” the heavy-hitting single off his upcoming 10th album. Produced by Salaam Remi, Da Internz, and the late Heavy D (“Heavy D gave this beat to Salaam for me to rap to”), the reggae-flavored tune features Nasty Nas in top form, touting tough bars over a rasta hook. Welcome back “The Don.”

Hmm that sample starts to get annoying after a bit. And the last verse isn’t all that.
But otherwise the beat is cool and the first two verses are good… Still can’t wait for the album though…

@cool, I doubt he cares. He has a passion for HipHop. He crossed over with staying true to his roots and mastered Rap. I went to his show and was surprised that it was PACKED (sold out) filled with white people Lol

@Mik, you right. And I think that’s way he’s needed in hiphop. He still stays true to the essence of hip hop. Make the fans come to you not become on of the fans. look at lil wayne and his skateboarding and dressing? Even Jay Z has changed. We need someone to say no this is what hip hop is about. lyrics and beats not just beat and whack lyrics

@uche,

Exactly my point. He need to stop helping beats and let the beat help him. I’m no fan of that beat…. You need a silver platter to serve gawd is all I’m saying.

In this day and age a beat from premo or alc won’t get you radio spins. It needs to be choppy with bells horns and an 808 kick. Organic beats gooo thataway

This is sick mehn, the beat and the flow. Even d story behind d song

All nas needs nw is just one radio record dat nw hip hop fans can related too but still hip hop and trust me he is gonna sell a lot.
Not like he needs it anyway
