Heyyo will be sharing most favorite nas lyrics, pics and latest jams n news ..... Nas disciples leggo!!

Half man Half Amazing.
Nas Is like Iron mike Messiah type
Before the Christ after the death the last one left

"Beyond the walls of intelligence life is defined"

The greatest rapper that ever lived, and I have heard many..

I drank Moet with Medusa, gave her shotguns in hell. From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell.

I wear chain that excite the feds..

It ain't hard to tell, Off the Illmatic album ( still have this album on CD, pure classic) 19yr old Nasty Nas spitting raw science..

One of my favourite rap songs of all time, sheer genius from this Queens bridge heavyweight.. I laughed when MI claimed Nigerian rappers are better than Americans, what a clown... check the verse below abeg, bear in mind Nas was 19yrs old when he was spitting this back in 1994..

It Ain't Hard To Tell"

It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
School a fool well, you feel it like braille
It ain't hard to tell, I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+
plus +Matic+, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell

This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggaz is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it's deep well let me try again
Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops, givin mics men-e-straul cycles
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
Packin like a rasta in the weed spot
Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop
Though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep, I never fell
Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell


Guy abeg don't get me started on Nas, we could be here a whole day

M.i said what? Lol.... Nas is GOAT...genius....no be dis overpunchline and basic rhyme stuff wey elite naika rappers dey kick.

Genius

Nas

Its a thin line between paper n hate,friends n snakes,nine mm n 38.....hate me now extract

I was destined to come,predicted, they blamed God for breathing breathe through my lungs

I keep it skill like sharqeal,vocabulary pills, I' m I'll........it ain't hard to tell(illmatic)

Nas is like earth,wind n fire
Rims and tyres,bullet proof glasses
Inside is the realest driver
Planets and orbits
Line em up with the stars
Taorats cards,you can see the pharaoh nas
......nas is like(I am)

What makes this guy so great is his level of intelligence, as a teenager,a time where there are no easy access to knowledge like google,internet e-library etc this guy said some things in his debut album that are beyond the level expected of a street kid who dropped out of Junior high school.
No wonder the album was voted the best rap album of all time

Guy abeg don't get me started on Nas, we could be here a whole day

"Deep like the shinning "-the shinning is a movie released in the 70s and made waves,it was regarded a classic,in fact it was among the best 500 movies of all time by rotten tomatoes.
" Not stories by Aesop" - Aesop is a famous fiction writer,in fact he writes stories called fables.A popular one is Aesop's fables.Nas here is actually saying his words are real compared to mainstream rapper,whose words can as well be called fables.
How did he come across these knowledge at time time,a mere drop out,no wonder he is highly respected even by rappers.

*STILL TRENDING!!!* 2geda 4eva by *Amen* a.k.a JAZZMAN. My *Video* is gonna drop soon. If you dont have the song. *HIT THE HIT.*

"you wana buy time?
I'm the seller of minutes I give you every second low price if I sold lies, the truth is
Time waits for none of you
Infact it can't Wait for the day to snatch the ground right from under you"

(Ghetto Prisoners)
Nas damn....see construction of words.

His choice of words paints pictures without ambiguity

U guys should help explain his lyrics...I think by doing that you would illuminate ppl on why nas was the greatest...normal listeners would not comprhend nas

Thanks for the clarification, i have seen the movie the shining, but never related it to the song.. Nas is actually self educated, he read books on ancient civilisation most especially Egypt after he dropped out of high school.. His verse on Main Source Live At The Bbq was what made people take notice.. Now bear in mind this was 25yrs ago!!..

[Hook]
It's like that y'all (that y'all!), that y'all (that y'all!)
That y'all (that y'all!), that y'all (that y'all!)
That y'all (that y'all!), that y'all (that y'all!)
And that's all!
[Nas]
Street's disciple, my raps are trifle
I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle
Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split
Play Mr Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit
Verbal assassin, my architect pleases
When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus
Nasty Nas is a rebel to America
Police murderer, I'm causing hysteria
My troops roll up with a strange force
I was trapped in a cage and let out by the Main Source
Swimming in women like a lifeguard
Put on a bulletproof nigga I strike hard
Kidnap the president's wife without a plan
And hanging niggas like the Ku Klux Klan
I melt mics till the sound wave's over
Before stepping to me you'd rather step to Jehovah
Slamming MC's on cement
Cause verbally, I'm iller than a AIDS patient
I move swift and uplift your mind
Shoot the gift when I riff in rhyme
Rapping sniper, speaking real words
My thoughts react, like Steven Spielberg
Poetry attacks, paragraphs punch hard
My brain is insane, I'm out to lunch, God
Science is dropped, my raps are toxic
My voice box locks and excels like a rocket

[Hook]

[Joe Fatal]
Fatal is merciful and they curse me
When I grip the mic I show no mercy
I got heart, I rip the party apart
From the seams and hem up like bell-bottom jeans
But you get done, you get blues like 501
Brothers are live but I bet ya I'm liver son
So let me get upon the scene and redeem
The dream of a team, and knock 'em out like Mitch Green
Smoke some thai weed, flow at a high speed
Rap on off breaks stomping like Northlakes
Cause I'm living larger than the founders of Fendi
An Asiatic brother that many rappers envy
So round up your crew and entourage
And let the God Merciful just take charge

[Hook]

[Akinyele]
Some of them said (said what?) that the Ak should quit
But I don't sweat it, cause I'm too big for that small shit
Like pigs when it comes to a showdown
Huff and puff but the Ak won't get blown down
Cause I come strong, rather than come at all and not be ready
That's what separates me from the petty
MC's gas themselves by drinking too much Getty
And get torn the Bleep up like confetti
I'm rich and thick in lyrics like Aunt Jemima
It doesn't take Keenan Ivory Wayans to know that I'mma
Get you sucker if you bite like a piranha
So save them preschool rhymes for the kids at Wonderama
Point blank, period, with no comma
Rhymes so dangerous, call for the homicide
Cause I knock 'em dead even when I'm at my worst
The only future that lies ahead of them is the lights from the hearse
Got game like a crackhead
But don't be misled, I keep rappers on lock like a dread
Knots in the head from the words that I said
So get a shovel and dig your grave cause the shit you talk is dead

[Hook]

[Large Professor]
I grab up girls like jacks
Add 'em on like tax, and I'm over like Hot Trax
As far as brothers are concerned a pressure cooker from start
To finish I diminish like a Cuisinart
Secondly, I'm sick of critics, who's necking me
(Oooh he got an afro) yo, but I got dough
Why's my name the Large Professor?
Cause I milked your cow in other words I hit your heifer
Don't talk about how you can break Rambo
That's just a bunch of mamba-ja-hambo
Propaganda, save it for Savanda
Joe and Amanda, Zach and Alexandra
Don't let the folks around your way puff your head
Cause you'll be the owner of a hospital bed
I'll kick fire out your ass so fast
You'll be as crispy as my man Bill Blass

U guys should help explain his lyrics...I think by doing that you would illuminate ppl on why nas was the greatest...normal listeners would not comprhend nas

Nas uses clever metaphor and word play in his rhymes, sometimes you just have to listen to the whole verse to understand what he is saying.. Having an equally broad knowledge helps, the kid is not you" Am white like snow, shine like the moon type of rapper".. He is way deeper than that..

.

Yep!!!

Nas album done and Echo proves once again that nas might be old but his pen is still as sharp.

It’s almost unbelievable to think nas can still be dropping verses of the year in this age.
I mean he’s the greatest but you know some emcees get stuck in time.

Lost Tapes 2. The great debate... is it JuST ThErE or is it excellent....

IMO compared to nas other projects I wouldn’t say it falls short, because it’s NOT an album but it’s maybe 5-7th ranked on all his projects....ANd yes it is definitely better than Nasir (Kanye was a wrong choice).
