1st on ya’ll
Fiyah… HOT SHIT coming thru!!!
wow~! he ’s so hot!
the soldiers against terrorists should be highly honored!! *** Militarysoulmate.c om*** Show your support for our Troops wearing their uniforms in public places. They should be well-beloved since your safety is safeguard by them!
I am sooo ready for his album to come out
I love it!
damn i’m really going to have to cop this album..Nas is a walking target
I absolutely LUH this cat…
Hot track, as usual… Nas is definitely putting it down in the studio!
Shit is so hot. Get em Nas.
Preach Nas!
Great song! I hate Fox News!!
That chain he’s rocking is crazzzzy HOT!
Together we stand Nas. I am down for the cause all the way.
Pure crack! Nobody does this lane better than Nas…nobody!
And Kanye wants to compare SouljahBoy to NAS?!!! NAS ALL THE FUK’N WAY!!!
The American Idol curse has struck again!
We’re hearing that 2004 champ Fantasia Barrino has just been dopped by her management team.
Fantasia still has her contract with her record label, though probably not for much longer.
The singer was repped by 19 Entertainment, the company owned by AI’s Simon Fuller.
Do people still care about Fantasia?
She obviously didn’t care about her fans. Bitch missed so many performances while on Broadway’s The Color Purple.
We’re surprised Tasia hadn’t beem dumped by her label or management sooner!
Fantasia was also set to perform tonight at Milwaukee’s Summerfest concert, but instead has been replaced by Musiq Soulchild.
Thank goodness!

Ahh yeah baby “the Fox has a Bushy tail” - I LOVE IT!!!!
Big Ups to Nas for using his power & influence on the mic to enlighten the youth and give you thought provoking lyrical content & topics…
While the strippers need songs to dance to (*Peaches I just came from the bank and got a fresh stack of ones - I ain’t forgot you boo, I’ll see you later on tonight), we need other types of songs that don’t have nothing to do with = a$$ shakin’, gun bustin’, 1001 ways on how to kill a ni@@a, expensive cars, expensive clothes, etc…
We need all types of music out & well promoted at the same time, like in the 90’s = the “golden era”…
REAL TALK Mr. Jones!!!
I dare the Nas haters to say something negative about that!
Real Hip-Hop is still alive. But they dont talk about songs like this on BET and Hip-Hop vs. America!
Keep making good music Nas!
I reall hope that people realize and understand the lyrics in this song. It isn’t just another rap song with some lyrics. What he is saying is the bonafide truth. It is real. What he is saying is that the Devil (whomever or whatever) is a liar as it says in the bible. Everything that you see on TV is a lie even the news. That is how the world is run and if you get caught up in the lie, you too will perish.
I am so happy to see that there are still a few M.C.’s that have substance. Now is NOT the time to
concentrate on flossing, chasing hoes, killing and dope dealing. Urban America has been F*#$ed over by Media and the government for so long. It’s time to uplift and inform. It has been an attack on us for years, thats why Reagan allowed drugs to be dropped off in our communities and let young Blacks and Latinos take the bait and the blame (Ricky Ross). Do your research; study up on the ‘Contras’ and how Reagan manipulated our communities to fund their war (Oliver North) by making money from the dope he placed in our neighborhoods after Congress told him they weren’t going to aid him . No one in Washington EVER paid for those mis deeds. Bush Sr. pardoned them ALL before he left office. PEOPLE WAKE UP; WHILE WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE MATERIAL AND THE CARNAL , WE ARE BEING EXTERMINATED. Teach yourselves and your little ones. Remember the true struggle. Racism and Capitalism go hand in hand. Believe it! Thanks Nas, keep the TRUTH coming. You are the difference between true Activism and the fly by night M.C. . Shout out to Chuck D.
……………
Yeah!

Now, the next time you hear Kanye put the words Nas and Soulja Boy in the same sentence. . .pepper spray him, hold a aresol can behind a lighter then torch him, then put the loudest speaker you can find next to his ear—-AND BLAST THIS!
YES……….NOW THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. TRUE HIP-HOP. IM FED-UP WITH THE WAY WE TALK ABOUT CARS AND RIMS AND A BLACK WOMAN’S ASSES. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO MORE RAP SONGS LIKE THIS. SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT WHATS GOING ON. And stop all this god dam dancing…….YOU GO NAS
LNAO! @ The_Truth
The_ Truth has spoken THE TRUTH…..Nas is and always has been a representation the truest form of hip-hop. This joint in the SHIT and almost as good as Black President!! I wonder what else this cat has up his sleeve?!!!! Damn I can’t wait until this album drops.
NASIR! Can’t wait for the new album.
Real Hip-Hop all day!
Lil Wayne greatest rapper my azz. He’s not even top 10.
That is the HOT SHYT!!!!! Man they need to put that in mad rotation
yes, it’s good and has power behind it…but no one’s gonna buy the album…sorry and someone give him a hug, he’s so angry.
People have been hating on Nas and calling him a hypocrite but I’ve always respected him as an artist. We are all walking, talking contradictions. Anyway, I am so amped for this album. He is about to prove once and for all that he is a mind that is truly ahead of his time.
Nasty Nas is the illest!!
NAS = HALF MAN HALF AMAZING. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I love this song! He is bringing the real.
@MsLoveNas……I will cosign on that….. Not so much because I love NAS. But rather because of the comparisons made by some moronic, tasteless, idiots. If you are lucky enough to ever find yourself with a microphone in your hand, for the whole world to hear. Say something worth saying, or shut the f@#k up.
Hip Hop doesn’t need another song, about how to perform a new dance step. What Hip Hop needs is, more people that are willing, and knowledgeable enough to speak on the current state of American affairs. Whether their views are right, or wrong, or somewhere in between. In other words, say something damn it!!!! I don’t want to hear about what kind of car you drive. I don’t want to hear about how much jewelry you own. I don’t want to hear about the amount of bottles you pop at the club. I don’t want to hear about how much groupie love you can get. Fore these are the bragging rights of children, with child like mentalities. These elementary minds, can only appeal, to those with similar midget like mentalities. What Hip Hop really needs, is thinkers. A rebirth sort of speak. Better yet, a return to its organic beginnings. Yes, it is true that the newer generations, need their own identities within Hip Hop. But not at the cost, or the death of the music itself. No one should be allowed, to put the music at risk. Old, or young.
People that are willing to think out side of the box, is what the music desperately thirst for.
And for that matter, so doe’s the entirety of America. Even beyond the bonds of Hip Hop. ARTOFWAR.
I love this guy. Do your damn thing, then do it again.
Nas did make some mistakes. In the song he says that Myspace & Youtube are owned by Fox. Newscorp owns Fox and Myspace. News Corporation is the main company that owns Fox, HarperCollins Publishing, 20th Century Fox, Myspace, New York Post and others. Youtube is owned by Google. Google is not owned by NewsCorp.
He also talks about Fox setting up child predators. MsNBC does the “To Catch A Predator” show not Fox.
LOVE NAS!
Go to google video and watch “OutFOXed: Rupert Murdoch’s war on journlism”. Ex employees confirm that they are given talking points (propaganda) to stress during their telecasts.
pheonix I just think nas wanted diss myspace and youtube, it’s prolly some artist or people he don’t personaly like on there, a lot of the stars want that to end, because since all of the youtube and myspace stars are running around, the attention has went off the big celbs, and they blame that on why nobody is buying their music.
Nas is a good artist, no doubt, but not a revolutionary, he hasnt made 1 change in the game since he been it. He blends in, stay quiet, and dose an excellent job on wax, however he has never changed the game. IMO.. He do have his own style when it comes down to music, but he lacks the talent to influence ppl enough to make a movement.
but props for this track. He’s good at what he dose.
Wow!
I love it…Nas is one of the most prolific arist of our generation. Even though this song will never get the 24/7 airplay that it deserves, those of us that can and will listen to need to heed the warning, hear the message and begin to formulate our plan as a community that we will no longer be decieved by what the government and media feeds us.
I expected nothing less than this from Nas. He is that man, for real. People talking shit about this dude when he is clearly on top of the “Real Hip Hop Game”. Ya can’t do nothing but respect this nicca. All new comers take note and learn what it really was that made Hip Hop so powerful.
Soulja Boy, Nicca, ya need to be first in line!!!!!
nas has always put it down, Top Lyricist of all time, yeah comparing S. Boy to nas was crazy, like Ice -T said if people are comparing nas to kid, they need there head examined,
@Phoenix…..Thank you for pointing out a few minor discrepancies. But don’t make the common mistake, that most Americans make. And by this I mean, getting caught up in the details. The general message is of higher importance.
This seems to be a phenomenon, amongst people these days. Too many people can not see the entire forest, because they are too busy looking at the tree, that is directly in front of them… ARTOFWAR.
I’m love that NAS, can’t wait for the CD to drop. I understand his point and Nas always comes with it.
@ wait a minute…. If that is truly the case, than list the ones that do………ARTOFWAR.
This song is awesome! Iwish I was Kelis right about now. This is a powerful brother!
I actually like it I was listen to it withour even realising i was playing it that medans I liked it.

Listen to the song again.
He singles out FOX but also makes references to media outlets in GENERAL.
@YO….. I am glad that there are still some people out there, that GET IT!!!!!!!! ARTOFWAR
Now thats some real talk right there. Loving it Nas. Come on and show these “ringtone rappers” how to spit some real lyrics, about real issues. THATS WHAT I’M TALKIN ABOUT!
Got goose bumps…God bless you Nas.
i gotta hear this song. i never understood y people stop listning to him in the first place. hes very talented just not promoted well enough to get people behind him.
i been tellin yall fox news is carrupted and racist. damn feel like im the only one dat knows wat nas is talkin bout.. bill o reilly, shawn hannity, all them white fucks on fox racist. not 1 not 2 all of them i hate them and hope fox news station burns in hell fuck them white bitches i hate dat fuckin channel makes me hate white people but i cant cuz they are voting for obama
nigg@s have always slept on Nas. But listen to what he is always spittin’…..some real shit. Do ya thang nas keep spittin that knowledge with yo fine ass! This needs to get mad play-time.
I’m so mad that I came in late on this post…I’m so coppin this album. A couple of you in here i.e, Chozen and Art of War, I would looove to have achat w/ you and pick your brain. That’s why I love the blogs. For all the negativity and BS we talk about, there are a couple of bros and sis that are very much aware. wow, wish I could catch you guys now. There is some seriously deep shit going on that is bigger and crazier than we could ever imagine. Nas mentions/says “matrix” throughout the song, which is funny bcuz I think that movie somehow represents us today….we are soooo lost.
Sorry for getting deep but eversince I heard what this one brother had to say about this world today and state of black people, my eyes and ears are open. We are being watched.
jayz said it best, “change up ya flow nigga ya shit is garbage”. hell, this song sounds like every other song that nas has done…can he do something different?
cool man….
He is giving you a message that could save your life. The world is a stage and you are being played. His message is on point and it isn’t about weather or not it is different than what he has done before. He can’t change the way his voice sounds. It is a message. Consider yourself warned.
rIhanna SUCKS
Yo the shit is mad hot! Going against the grain maintaining thru real hiphop political lyrics..This is what you young niggas should be rapping about..PLZ stop the garbage, material, money(luciferian) rap and sistas being naked selling your souls just to make lucifer’s money..WAKE UP JACOB THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL>>>
Typical Nas….boring, but deep to the shallow.
What he’s rapping about is really right in all of your faces each day, but you let the system sedate you with their bullshit.
i’m not buying that shit! it’s the same damn thing. say Nas get some new beats…change ya damn flow! kiss my ass!
Summer school class was needed. It feeds the mind. Thx Professor Nas.
@ Stop Tripping….. Maybe it is time for you to stop tripping…Last I heard of JZ, he was in the South of France chasing around some French women, in a speed boat. So much for substance. Get off that high life bullshit. The life on video, you will never live. Believe me, I live that life everyday. It’s not all what is crack up to be. Ask JZ he will tell you the same. Get real. The glamorous life is just a sales tool, to get fools such as yourself to buy into it. And make some of us richer, while making yourself poorer. Unplug from the matrix. But I guess, I’m just wasting gigs. You will not understand, people such as yourself never do. ARTOFWAR.
WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SHIT BACK TO 88. WHEN WE HAD TRUE RAP STARS OUT. LIKE KRS1 AND CHUCK-D AND PE. X-CLAN. YOU WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. TEACH THE TRUTH TO THE YOUNG BLACK YOUTH. LETS STOP TALKING ABOUT CARS AND RIMS AND DRUG DEALING AND HOW BIG THIS WOMAN ASS IS. AND GET DOWN ABOUT SOMETHING THAT REAL. WE NEED TO STOP ALL THIS DUMB ASS DANCING AND GET OUR ASSES BACK TO SCHOOL. AND LEARN TO LOVE OURSELF AND OUR BLACK WOMEN. AND BE A MAN AND TAKE CARE OF OUR KIDS. WE CAN DO BETTER BLACK PPL (YOU GO NAS)
Oh, so good to hear that. Seems I have seen he at an interracial dating club B lackcentury…com or somewhere just like that. Not sure whether it is true or not
Thats My Man I LOOOOVVVEEE NAS!!!!! HIP HOP IS BACK FINALLY A REAL RAPPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE HIP HOP NOW THANK GOD FOR NAASSSS!!!
This is great, and it had nothin’ to do with hoes, champagne or hot rides. What we need is a wave of thought-conscious raps (with banging beats, of course), like a mini-60s revival with music that speaks about the corruption that we’re drowning in. Obama ‘08!
@Mr Fantastic E: Yes, yes! Go ‘88 LOL
That track is madd hot! Fox is the devil!
@ STOP TRIPPING!
(Check me out!)
jayz said it best, “change up ya flow nigga ya shit is garbage”. hell, this song sounds like every other song that nas has done…can he do something different?
@ STOP TRIPPING!
i’m not buying that shit! it’s the same damn thing. say Nas get some new beats…change ya damn flow! kiss my ass!
————————————————
LMAO!
Somebody get JIM JONES OFF THE INTERNET!
This song got my adrenaline pumping, finally a rap artist spoke out against fox news, hell somebody spoke out against them niggas. This song officially puts Nas pass Jay-Z as greatest MCs of all time, You got Biggie, Tupac, Scarface, Big Daddy Kane, then Nas, Then Jay-Z. Man this shit was fire. I got to get the album now.
Did He Low Pitch his Vocals on this?or is it jus me?
Nas has alway been great
The Lyrics were hot and I thought the beat was different from his normal style not sure what (stop trippin is talkin bout)
shit it sounds like the usual shit he does! he can do better!
i WOULD LOVE IT IF NAS REALLY DUG DEEP AND EXPOSED THE TRUTH, HE’S ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH THIS SONG , IM GONE COP THE ALBUM TO SEE HOW MUCH BALLS HE HAS AND HOW MUCH TRUTH HE WILL EXPOSE
I’m not a Nas Fan but it’s officially…..I’m never watching Fox again! And that’s real!
*official*
Nas is the truth, and that’s what my boah stay spittin, good luck Nas and thank you.
Nas is the truth, and that’s what my boah stay spittin, good luck Nas and thank you.
All the comments on here represent how intelligent and informed our people and other nationalities are. To all those posting , thanking for the knowledgeable observations. Although I read a bunch of news from political sites, I can’t tell you how much I have learned through the bloggers on this site. Take note Bossip, I still love the off kilter news, but this is what’s up. And Nas thank you. My daughter is 12 years old, she loves the song : “I know I can”, be what I want a be, If I work hard at it, I’ll be where I want a be”. It’s right on her ipod. Love the video and the song, and her rapping the lyrics. She wrote to the White House protesting the Iraq War, she’s that serious. They sent a letter back, one of those President Bush feels blah, blah, blah, but the child knows words have power and she won‘t be deterred. I told her to continue, don’t hold your tongue for anyone. Keep teaching the youth Nas, my daughter’s listening. This is what today’s youth should be listening to, not “Superman that Ho”, listen and learn Soulja. Your intelligent enough to market yourself, listen, and make a difference.
meanin os SMH yall??
meanin os SMH YALL PLiis…..
I can’t wait to finally hear some real shit for a change, fuck the powers that be (Viacom, Clear Station and radio play). Cube and Nas, please go get these two albums and wake the fuck up and listen. They’re two rich brothers, that really don’t have to give a fuck about our poor asses and let us stay sleep and believe all the bullshit on TV and Radio, but they care enough to keep it real and try to open our minds to what is really going down OUR RIGHTS, need I say more!!!!.
