Video: Nas Performs “Surviving the Times,” Disses 5-0

Gangster Rapper Naaas performed “Surviving the Times,” “Eye for an Eye,” and the crowd-pleasing “Made You Look” at Roseland Ballroom last night. He also threw a subliminal jab at Boo Boo: “But I ain’t Fifty, y’all know it’s Nas yo.” I always knew he’d flip that 5-0 line some day.

Head over to Sit Down, Stand Up for pics and more on Nas’ performance.

Since that forbes list, I honestly hate that 50 will be richer than Nas in a few years (if he already isn’t). But I guess that doesn’t matter, we all know who has the better talent and 5-0 may have more money but God’s son will indefinitely have my respect.

Like AZ said to 50:

“When we ghost, you could bet who be felt the most”

^ Hot line

3. Rizoh Says:

^^^that whole song is powerful

4. Tammy Says:

Nas needs to stop the 50disses and worry about his own career. He needs to wonder why everytime he wants an album out Jay-Z puts his out the same day or around the same time. LOL. His last album floppped and he can’t afford for this next one too flopp again.

5. T2 Says:

Nas would murda 50 I wanted him to ether 50 after that ‘piggy bank’ shit but the closest I heard to Nas addressing 50 is on ‘don’t body yourself’.

Tammy wat are you talking about 50 recently dissed Nas on rap city when he said that Nas never looked out for his crew.

6. Erock LAzron Says:

I didn’t realize that debuting at number 1 on the billboard chart was “flopping” now.

7. Tammy Says:

Nas last album didn’t go platinum as promised. Therefore, he did FLOP. Yes, his album debuted at number one which is cool; but, he promised LA Reid he’d go platinum & he didn’t. Also, 50 was right. Nas didn’t look after the Bravehearts. He did come to any of the interviews. That why that album flopped also. Nas has fleeing interests when working with other artists; but, yet he is very committed to his own stuff. Nas just don’t well with others. Nas is a great talent; but, he is not the best entrepreneur in terms of working with others like Jay-Z, JD or 50.

8. Tammy Says:

What I meant to say was, Nas did not come to any of the Bravehearts interviews when their album was out. Again, he is one of the best rappers out there. But, his business skills when working with other artists SUCKS. You have to be committed when working with others artists. He is not as committed as Jay-Z, 50, TI or JD.
@ my earlier comments:He needs to wonder why everytime he wants an album out Jay-Z puts his out the same day or around the same time. LOL. His last album floppped and he can’t afford for this next one too flopp again.
I stand by them because he needs a big hit album to continue to stay at Def Jam. LA Reid is already nervous about his next album. Nas next album will be a greatest hits CD with a few new cuts on there. I’m sure that Nas will do much better. I hope he does.

Why are hip-hop fans so obsessed with sales these days?

10. dre Says:

#9 cosign, its sad. o shit its rizoh who said it ha

11. T2 Says:

I agree wit you about Nas not being business orientated and I actually agreed wit 50 about him not looking after his crew.

But I just come up wit a reason to why he may have took shots at 50.

12. HHF Says:

Naaaaaaas

13. NY TOP SELECTED INDIE MC Says:

SORRY, BUT 50 BEEN RICHER THAN NAS. FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

JAY-Z IS A BUSINESSMAN, WHY WOULD HE PURPOSELY SHELF NAS?

REAL HIP HOP FANS DONT REALLY BUY CD’S. THATS WHY NAS FLOPPED.

14. lonnyloe Says:

hey riz whats this i hear big moe died after his massive heart attack?

15. Rizoh Says:

i heard bout the heart attack, but i haven’t heard anything about his death. it’s still rumors at this point but i’ll let you know soon.

16. Chris Says:

Selling 800-900K in 2006 ain’t a flop. But fuck it, I don’t care if he sells two copies, album was dope.

18. EckodoriaN Says:

In regards to talent I believe Nas has much more talent then 50, 50 has a much higher success rate because he looks for whats popular now, he strives for quantity not quality. I try very hard to not be a “hater” and dismiss 50’s album but he really hasn’t thrown anything out that has captured my attention fully. I like to consider myself a fan of hip hop, so to be honest the few true hip hop songs I’d say 50 made were on his Massacre album the Ryder Music cut and the God Gave Me Style cut. I have more than two hand fulls of Nas’ cuts in my iPod, and I agree with what somebody else had mentioned that hip hop fans don’t buy albums as much. the last album I bought was Common’s Be and that I can hear a million times back to back. Record sales don’t mean a thing to me because I’ve seen garbage artists some and go and go platinum or whatever and they haven’t contributed to the hip hop game one bit. I feel like any body can drop a “hot” single and go platinum off that as far as something that holds weight it’s few artists that deliver something good.
