Nas – The N

Nas – The N (mp3)(That was fast.) Nas – The N
Gotta love the Jim Jones subliminal here. Not one of the most talked about songs from Hip-Hop Is Dead. I guess gangstas move in silence after all.

Meanwhile, an official press release often means that the album will actually drop sometime this decade. Check it:

Nas keeps it vital from jump. On “Q.B. True G,” featuring Compton’s The Game, the two MCs trade verses over a vicious Dr. Dre beat; the student pays homage to the teacher, remembering standing on line to cop Illmatic. On the Nas-produced “Where Are They Now,” Nas runs through a litany of classic, bygone MCs over a monster James Brown sample. The theme continues on the Scott Storch-produced “Carry On Tradition,” a warning to students of the game. “Still Dreamin’” features a soul-heavy beat and hook from Kanye West. Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg shows up on the west-coast tinged “Play On Player.” (HHID Press Release)

12. Roc_Representa Says:

For a track off an album that got a perfect rating from XXL, “New World” has a lazy beat and an annoying chorus. Good lyrically though. And is that Nas song a Just Blaze beat?

31. Un Says:

36. Josh Says:

40. Prolyfe Says:

Nas is still nasty as hell.

41. Daz Black Says:

beat is alright..flow is crazy

42. Rizoh Says:

anyone else getting the feeling Game’s leak is fake?

43. ian Says:

> anyone else getting the feeling Game’s leak is fake?

Why – cos a lot of the tracks sound like mixtape album quality rather than real album tracks? I kind of had thought in the back of head but wasn’t really entertaining it seriously.

BTW: need a re-up on the Nas link, Rizoh. U should consider putting up zshare links at the same time, they last longer that YSI links.

44. DJ Raida Says:

can any1 re-up the nas track? dl limit reached already lol

45. Rizoh Says:

——————–
Yeah, that. And the fact that earlier leaks like the Anthonu Hamilton-assisted “Hustler’s Dream” and the JF track I just linked are missing from the so-called album. I really hope Jay pushes his album up and shows Game what he’s got.

46. Rizoh Says:

Raida, it’s been re-upped. Enjoy.

47. DJ Raida Says:

Raida, it’s been re-upped. Enjoy.

thanks heaps Riz

48. Magno Says:

very nice
Nas is one of the best at it.

49. Rizoh Says:

yeah, it’s going to be a heavy fourth quarter. We’re just warming up.

50. Pajiba Says:

props rizo

Nas is on fire lately. I like this track as well as the other one.

51. Lojik Says:

Nas and Jay are taking over this year

52. Dreamboy23 Says:

I’m convinced. Nas is the real king of NYC.

*crickets*

53. Illmatic620 Says:

Wow.. by the way HIPHOP IS DEAD track with Will is an INTRO.. its a track 1, genesis style, not a full track so dont hate that…

This track hasnt been talked about, but its fire…

54. Rizoh Says:

55. Taj Says:

^he calls himself superman of rap and thats all he can come up with?

56. Rizoh Says:

^^LOL! that seems to be it. Not what I expected either.

57. JaySun Says:

who produced this Nas song by the way?

58. Rizoh Says:

No clue. I heard names like Salaaam Remi and Scott Storch being thrown out there.

59. Damien Says:

I’m leaning with Salaam even though it sounds nothing like him.

60. saywhat Says:

>anyone else getting the feeling Game’s leak is fake?

There is a fake leak out there. A mixtape type version. But there is also a real leak.

Look for the one ripped by RNS (mentioned in the filename or somethin). This has all the high profile tracks by Kanye West, guests Jamie Foxx, Xzibit and more..

61. Rizoh Says:

ahh, I’ll wait and peep the retail version then.

[...] Def Jam’s rarities compilation, which includes “Where Y’all At” and “The N,” really that rare? [...]
