That track is crazy…definite “Yea!!!”

this is dope! I hope the whole album is like this.

Absolute rubbish. Nas continues to pick poor beats. I’m sure with the amount of money he’s sp*nked up the wall getting beats of Megahertz, Salaam Remi he could’ve bought a double album of Pete Rock, Premier and Alchemist tracks by now. He’s strong enough a name to garner decent sales, and his most successful singles have always been gutter e.g ‘Made U Look’ - this just sounds like ‘Nas Album Filler by Numbers. A shame cos he’s a quality MC. NAY!

yeah i like it. its no surviving the times tho, and yeah it does sound like a return to I am Lost tapes type shit

surviving the times > this

leave it to someone from England and come thru and call it “rubbish”

Nas’ album is going to be crazy. He needs to grab a track from me for sure. Time to get illmatic!

HAZEATTACKS

Come on people you aint a serious Nas fan if you think this is a crazy NAS joint it would be good for someone else but Nas can do way better ‘Surviving the times’ was a classic joint I want some more joints like that. Nas is still a living legend so dont hate on that but this song aint that great.

dont get me wrong im a massive fan, nas is my man (pause) but this single is just wack….the concept for the chorus, the beat is ok but kinda corny and doesnt suit his flow at all….

its not that bad, but he can do sooooooooooooo much better

co sign big huto

meh, it’s alright. he could do a lot better. the beat is alright, doesn’t quite bang but it doesn’t jump out — it almost sounds like another ditched track from Hip Hop Is Dead. i agree with Will — Nas should do something harder, lyrically and musically. especially with an album that’s already garnered this much controversy. you can’t have an album title like this one then deliver something expected.

[...] “What it is (Esco Lets Go)” New single from Nas. [...]

I’m torn. It’s not what I was hoping for, but I could learn to dig it.

He could do better though, S.T.T was sweet

Throw-away track. The snippet reminded me a Roc song. Nay.

its ight… no classic..come on NAS WE GOT TO DO BETTA WITH THE ALBUM NAME BEING NI#*A

what a lameass beat. awful!

bangin track its about time nas

nas needs to come hard and stop putting out crap…this sounds like he was in the studio just playing around and shit…this is a throw away track….not impressing me with this at all. I love Nas but wtf was that.

its aight

This song is so damn weak.What’s up with him trying to go big,what happened to good mc’ing over simple good shit? Big nay for me.

Hey Will lol @ your comment cause Salaam Remi is the mofo WHO made “Made You Look”

btw as for the track, i actually sort of agree with you, this track doesnt really suit him but it isnt bad at all, we just heard the first verse, he might pick up his fire later on

yo the kids is always gonna be nice… he can come up with a wack album and still have a good word in the streets … hip hop was dead was great… all i really care is that hes bak on the boof … i dont care if its wack or not its still nas im buyin that shit …

The beat isnt on the album, the song isnt on, he never rhymed to that beat

that’s wwhy the flow’s off

[...] momenteel nog steeds bezig met de afronding van enkele tracks. Afgelopen weekend lekte het nummer What It Is op internet, maar volgens Nas verschijnt deze track niet op het album. “De vocalen zijn [...]

hip hop is dead n that dude cant bring it back!!glory times to end

nas is definitly one of the illest MCs ever. But this song he sounds off, his flow is different. The beat is ok, but hopfully the other verses are more like the nas from before

the dopest mc looking forward to the album as always

not a nas beat, this shit is fake, read on mtv

[...] Nas’ “What It Is,” sporting a new beat from Khalil. The beat is incredible. The rhymes are OK. But the combination [...]

yo that is the wack version of that song, Dj Khalil made a better beat to that song and its way crazier http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2008/02/24/19335088.aspx

@ Dasone …

I agree one hundred and fifty percent. The DJ Khalil is mean and has bite 2 it. That other version is weak and timid and when i heard I was wild disappointed like “WTF”?. This version saved it 4 me 4 real. I really can’t picture anybody wantin’ 2 rhyme over that other beat but 4 whatever reason NaS did. But the Khalil version is definitely bumpable at maximum volumes in the whip!!! Good look.

man ive been waiting for that damn Dj Khalil version to leak or be released or something its been way to long The Games album drops in June and he released his single a few days ago Nas’ album is supposed to drop next month. oh yea and Nas said in an interview that he never rapped over this beat somebody put it together i wish i had the source but you’ll have to just believe me PEACE

thats not nas beat it’s only a lyrics leak… he said he never rapped on that beat
