October 28th, 2009 at 8:54 am
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN!
What make rain, hail, snow, and earth quakes?
Answer: All that above is caused by the Sun of Man also known as Jay Electronica!
Understanding Understood that he was raised in the south, but I wonder how will the south acknowledge his talent. Hopefully he can resurrect them, cause what’s coming out the south right now looks like they wanna be Bo Jangles.

Nas said: “so,til the water turns my electric chair on/inside a lebaron trunk,got pakastan heroin…Nasir Jones NOT A CAPO, the Picasso, word painter, black Sinatra, Rap King Cole, GANGSTA!” Nas is ILL! IMO Nas is so f*cking lyrically superior to his peers…it’s ridiculous!!!! This is just a snippet…damn Nas!!!
October 28th, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Love this man I still don’t know when he’s coming out have no clue.
October 28th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
No words to describe how talented this dude is, ROCK ON!!
October 28th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Nice! Just is seriously holding out on Hovy man all those tracks where crazy. Think about that early 2000’s stable of Rocca-Fella in house producers Just Blaze, Kanye West geniuses. It’s good to see Nas getting back in lyrical shape though, will it this time translate to great albums don’t know hope so cause his last 3 where awful, shit most all of his albums where awful with numerous bright spots mixed in but awful as a whole despite his tremendous talent. But Nas doing his thing is good for hip-hop. Jay Electronica is amazing not gonna lie and say I’m totally up on all his music but I’m officially in! now, I need to track down as much of his stuff as possible. Things are looking good out there people the new crop of rappers all show great promise from Wale to Electronica to Drake, Gucci, B.O.B, J. Cole, Kid Cudi and so on the vets are catching there stride again like Nas, Mos-Def, Reakwon, Ghost, Weezy, fuck it I personally am not a fan but even 50. And the legends Jay-Z, Eminem are rightfully claiming there Icon statis with vets on the cusp of Icon status Kanye and Weezy are all wroking hard to cement there status. It’s a good day things are looking up, soon swag surf soldierboy tell em and things of that nature will be a distant memory 🙂
October 28th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Freaking amazing. Lyrical beast this guy is.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I needed that, Inf.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
“LET DAT BITCH BREATHE”
THE EXECUTION OF REAL RAP
IS FUCKING AWESOME!!
LYRICISM AT ITS FINEST.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Nas albums were never awful…and Nas is just as much as a LEGEND as Jay and Em if not more…so please haters fall back with bullsh*t!!!!!! Nas bodied this snippet!!!!
October 28th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Legendary!
Any idea where I can get the whole show?
October 28th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
nxt time dnt forget to add its ur mofo opinion.Nas last 3 albums were concept albums,perhaps u r not bright enuf to comprehend conceptual albums.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
tell dat nigga some truth,Nas is even more of a legend than those he mentioned cos he can rap circles and circumferences round all dem niggas.nuff said.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Well if it wasn’t my opinion who’s fucking opinion would it be sherlock? And if the concept was to record 3 good songs, on 3 albums and surround those songs with about an hour each of crap then mission accomplished! How do you like that motha fuckin opinion! When your album titles are more talked about and more interesting then your actual albums themselves then it’s time to scrap the concept and get back to your roots. It seems like Nas is finally starting to understand that but apparently you haven’t comprehended.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Ok stop the maddness people I assume your speaking on my comment listen I love Nas I just feel his last few albums where sub par the beats were shoty and the execution of the “concept” was not very cohessive felt like a collection of random ass songs. The lyrics were great that’s were Nas always shines but the hooks were forgetable that’s were Nas fails. We’re talking albums here people complete songs not just a hot 16 or 36 these are not mixtapes I expect execution of complete songs when I’m buying an album like Nas did on illmatic it was written
still mattic. As for being a legend maybe we just have different definitions Nas is a hip hop legend but eminem and jay-z are world wide super stars I’m talking Mike Jackson U2 status I’m talking packing arenas world wide selling out MSG by his self kinda superstar.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:29 am
WHAT A GREAT WEEK FOR HIPHOP!!!
October 29th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Man shut the hell up…Jay or Em will never be Micheal Jackson status or U2 for that matter…these niggas ain’t no damn more world wide than any other mainstrem artists! Shit all the mainstream artists have world wide star power that is why they can tour all over the world!!!! But Micheal Jackson staues just cause you can sale out MSG…please! You stans be reaching!
October 29th, 2009 at 2:17 am
Tell us what Jay or Em song is f*cking memorable from their last 3 albums…sh*t their most recent albums are mediocre? Nas is just as great as Jay or Em…even Jay admits that Nas and Em is his only competition! So because Nas didn’t sale out MSG he is not world wide…ask his fans from Africa. Australia, Ireland, London, China ect. If Nas isn’t worldwide?!!!!! You people try to place Nas in a category less than Jay and Em and neither can truthfully be placed above Nas were it matters most…lyrically!!!!
October 29th, 2009 at 2:28 am
“HOLD iT NOW!!!”
HIP HOP BEING DEAD IS NOT A CONCEPT IT’S A FACT
)BUT IT CAN BE RESURRECTED WIT SOME STRONG BREATHS OF LIFE(
AND THAT ALBUM WAS HOTT BEGINNING TO END.
THATS WHY NOWADAYS WHEN YOU SEE A THOROUGH MCEE GO IN ITS JUST SO SHOCKIN’ CAUSE DA SHIT DON’T HAPPEN AS MUCH AS IT USE TO.
LYRICISCM AIN’T ON TOP NO MORE
WELCOME TO THE ERA OF “CUTE RAP”
wHEN NAS DID ‘HERO’ @ THE BET AWARDS LAST YEAR MAYBE TWO PPL GOT UP WHILE HE PERFORMED AN ONE WAS FROM ‘JIM CLASS HEROES’ TRYNA INSERT HISSELF INTO THE PICTURE
N THATS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT ALBUM TITLE
WHERE’S YA NIGGAZ AT WHEN YA NEED’UM DAMM
October 29th, 2009 at 4:41 am
get d f outta here J,J Evans,just admit u got a light brain and those albums were to deep 4 ur non thinking meat head. Dnt try to impress ur f*** opinion on others.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:45 am
let dat bitch breath nigga,u r just another ignoramus dat think he knws wats up.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:53 am
wa do u mean by worldwide superstrs,Nas performs at sold out arenas around d world,dis meat head sounding like Nas is only known in Newyork,as a matter of fact Nas has been worldwide since 96 b4 Jay and eminem even came out,am sure u just got started on hiphop and dnt knw d history,Msg aint d only ground to hold concerts,stop being myopic.
October 29th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I don’t place Nas in any category he is in the category that he is in and that’s that. This is no referendum on the caliber of artist or lyricist that Nas is because Nas is one of the greatest, but you can not say he’s a bigger star with greater appeal and crossover success then Jay-Z or Eminem. That statement is ridiculous and shows the naivety of some of the people on this blog. There’s not a single quantifiable category that Nas equates on any level with Jay-Z, or Eminem if you have one prove it.
@NOE AT ALL I’ll give you this maybe Michael Jackson was a stretch, Mike is, his own level, your right about that one. But I’m not the only one who puts Jay-Z on the level of Madonna and U2. Live Nation also agreed, when Jay-Z became the only rapper to be offered the record breaking 360 tour deal that was previously only given to guess who Madonna and U2. The consumers agreed giving him 11 straight #1 albums more then another Icon the beatles, and making him the biggest superstar in Rap period. The only others in hip-hop at lis power level are Eminem, 50, and maybe even Kanye, men lie women lie numbers don’t, and Nas just don’t have the numbers or crossover appeal to call him a super star. Is he a great rapper yes he’s probably the most talented but is he Hip-Hop’s biggest star NO!
@ Anelka Bitch please! I’m not in the habit of calling women out there names but I will not have my intelligence questioned by some hood rat with a laptop named Anelka. Is that even a real name?! I’m a Colombia grad that’s one of the 8 as we like to call it around here. Thats 1 of the 8 Ivy League schools so before you call me an ignoramus learn how to write a complete sentence. You are some nerve leaving comments like “let dat bitch breath nigga,u r just another ignoramus dat think he knws wats up.” and calling me an ignoramus. Try looking words up before you use them you fucking mental midget.
“A wise man once said don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.” So with that I’m gone peace.
October 29th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
@Kenny J,J Evans Goodtimes ,u are a Plain ignoramus and if u dnt know d meaning,u are just another ignorant fella that dosent know he is one which is most pathetic,Anelka is a real name pussy,wat part of d world hav u been too? ,u stuck in ur own fucked up world thinking u know wats going on,talking abt live Nation,Nas dont fuck with live nation cos he has his own tour/concert pomotion company called Guerilla Union which means he keeps his own tour money to himself which is better than live Nation getting cuts from all ur music endevours,and check it out,all d tour spots ur so called superstars performs from North America to Europe ,Nas rips the same venues,its not dat hard to confirm,do a simple research.U dont hav to be a hip pop artist to be a superstar,Nas is a certified Hiphop superstar.nuff said.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
exhibit C >>>>>>>>>>> that bullshit ass nas snippet.. FOH
October 29th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
What the fuck are you talking about you crash test dummy you. Chang Weisberg is the founder, sole owner, & CEO of Guerilla Union. Nas is just what he has always been an employee just another act on there Rock The Bells Tours every year.
“What’s good enough for Madonna and U2 is good enough for Jay-Z. Actually, what’s good enough for Jigga is whatever those superstars get and more. According to The New York Times, the hip-hop kingpin is about to close on a deal that would have him leave his longtime record label, Def Jam, and sign with concert-promotions giant Live Nation for $150 million, one of the biggest music contracts ever awarded. ” New York Times April 3rd 2008
I would break down the full details of the deal but you don’t have the capacity to process the information so I’ll leave ya with this ball park figure Jay-Z stands to make a minimum of 275 million dollars on top of the 150 million signing money off of one record deal for the next 5 years, and that’s just the music money. Don’t get me started with 40/40 NY, Vegas, Japan, NJ Nets and the Atlantic Yards development project. Like I clearly stated but you clearly couldn’t understand this has nothing to do with the music or lyrical skills this has to do with his star power which equals earning power that no other rapper despite the likes of Eminem, 50-cent, & Kanye West has. Especially not Nas. I don’t care how you split it dollars make sense hommie. Hows that for research you fucking neanderthal I should call you Lucy LOL but that jokes to smart for you, you wouldn’t get it.
Anyway you’ve wasted enough of my time I feel stupid just discussing this here with you my original comment was to commend creative artist like Jay electronica for staying true to the art of hip-hop and bringing talent back to the forefront instead I’m stuck in a battle of whitts with someone who’s clearly unarmed, bantering about how huge an artist like Jay-Z and Eminiem is in music period not just hip-hop when anyone with half a brain and some perspective could see that.
Jay electronica is the shit and Nas is on the the best there anelka happy? great now go eat a dick, like Jay put it “I don’t run rap no more I run the map” now if you don’t mind I have to get my ass down to the bronx for game 2 of the World Series where you can find me 5 rows up from 1st base just a few rows behind Mr. Carter himself and Kate Hudson. By the way the biggest rap star on the planet right now will be performing with Alicia Keys at Yankee Stadium maybe he’ll give Nas a ticket
LET’S GO YANKEES!
October 29th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
actually, I believe Nas is a part owner/investor in Guerilla Union. At least that’s what was disclosed in his divorce proceedings.
October 29th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
That Nas snippet had me spazzing out- Pakistan heron!? damn! nasty eating this joint already!
October 29th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
…..and kenny is silenced!
October 29th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
BUT NAS IS GETTING MORE TALKED ABOUT…NAS’ SNIPPET IS FIRE! EXHIBIT C IS CRACK! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ANGRY WHEN IT COMES TO NAS?
October 29th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I AM ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARGUING OVER WHO(NAS OR JAY) HAS MORE EARNING POWER SINCE OCT 28-29! THIS IS WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIP HOP…FANS SHOULD NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT AN ARTIST’S MONEY..THEY SHOULD FOCUSE ON THE QUALITY OF MUSIC! THE HELL WITH WHO HAS MORE EARNING POWER…FANS ARE TOO CAUGHT UP IN THE HYPE OF AN ARTIST! THEY FEEL THE NEED TO LOOK DOWN ON THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE THE HYPE PERSONA…BUT CLEARLY HAVE STAR POWER…NAS IS NO CHUMP CHANGE IN THIS MUSIC INDUSTRY! JAY SAYS HE RUNS THE MAP…SO THERFORE NAS CAN’T POSSIBLY RUN THE MAP TOO…LOL!!!! NAS AND JAY ARE BOTH HIP HOP!!!! WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE DOWN TO BUILD ANOTHER UP…HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!!!
October 29th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
While ya’ll on the computer arguing about Nas’ and Jay’s level of earning star power…Nas and Jay are both on major tours right now…so therefore they are both running the map! One thing I’ve learned is too never count the next man’s money! On that note Nas seems to always get the under dog treatment in hip hop…because of his personality IMO…he seems to be uncomfortable at times with too much attention and a loner by nature…Jay on the other hands seems to love the public attention and praise! Nas even stated” I am the most criticized and hated on artist in the game!” Nas knows what to exspect from the public who praises Jay…and Jay knows what to exspect from the public who praises Nas! So ROCK on Nas and Jay and keep HIP HOP ALIVE! Jay Elec…I’m feeling you too baby!!!!
October 30th, 2009 at 12:47 am
@ Kenny_ Goodtimes…“Those who know don’t talk and those who talk don’t know a thing…” From “Some of Us Have Angels”, Nas’ NAStradamus!!!!
October 30th, 2009 at 1:41 am
A great PR team can have the public believe you own the world…those who have to reveal all their personal/financial accomplishments are usually the ones who don’t have half of want the delusional public believes they have…and those who lay back and don’t reveal much about themselves and just live a low key life are the ones people are most surprised about how much they have accomplished! Shit according to Forbes annual hip hop cash cows list of 2008: Game, Rick Ross, and Flo rida, Soulja Boy and Jeezy have all earned from a range of 6 million to 10 million & up per year (people seem to find truth in that)!!!! So why do people have such difficulty with Nas having STAR status or accomplishing anything besides just being an “employee” which by the way Jay is an “employee” too…LOL! Damn people hate to give Nas his true props!
October 30th, 2009 at 2:23 am
NEWWWW YOOORRRKK lol just back from the Yankee game how about that game Yankee fans, Jay-Z and A Keys killed it too. Noticed all the responces on the iPhone so I thought I’d get at ya basically most your responces are right my bad Nas is cool Jay is cool it’s all good I thought that’s what I was saying in the first place that hip hop is in a good place right now before that idiot Anilka or what ever her name was dragged me into this non-sense anyway my bad fuck her respect to all others info you rock and jay electronica rocks too peace
October 30th, 2009 at 2:40 am
Really? Well I guess you would know best miss info, who am I. I’m not doubting nas as possible investor in the company but Chang is listed as the CEO and he’s also featured in the Rock the bells documentry I think in 2004 that breaks down how he and his family started the company and how the Weisberg family is all still very hands on it’s actually really cool you should check it out if your ever board anyways it doesn’t matter either way it’s irrelivent to my original comment that I like jay electronica and hip hop seems in a good place that was my original point peace and love Info 🙂
October 30th, 2009 at 11:23 am
NAS NEVER REVEALS HIS PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL BUSINESS…SO I GUESS PEOPLE WOULD BE REALLY SURPRISED BY ANYTHING THAT IS REVEALED ABOUT NAS PERTAINING TO BUSINESS VENTURES…THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MOVE QUIETLY…NEVER LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! THEY GONE TO HATE ON YOU ANYWAY!!!!
November 1st, 2009 at 11:14 am
