Despite his flair for dramatic overreaching, or perhaps
because of it, Nas became New York's favorite rapper in the
mid-'90s and remained near the top for over a decade.
Rivals and time challenged his stay at the top of the New
York rap scene — one of the more notable challenges being
his bout with Jay-Z in the early 2000s — yet Nas soldiered
on, continually changing his style and stepping up his
game. Over the years, Nas went from being a young street
hustler (Nasty Nas) to a boastful gangsta (Nas Escobar) to
a self-proclaimed poet/prophet (Nastradamus) to a re-born
encapsulation of himself (the "Stillmatic" Nas). In
addition, he worked with countless legendary producers — DJ
Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Trackmasters,
Timbaland — and put Queensbr More...
Review about Nas Not even close!!! | Reviewer: Promise
------ About the song Ether performed by Nas
If you still have the nerve to even suggest that jay is remotely as good as nas i don't even wanna address you coz you aren't worth it we dont want fans commenting we want the truth and anyone who is pure, impartial, hip hop knows that nas may not sell as much as other artists but he is a waaaaaaaay better mc than jay and many others!!! the fact that he signed under him doesnt mean anything the song was made and it will forever be the song the single-handedly ended the beef, coz really after this gay - i mean jay - would have to get pac and big to write his response to even stand a chance. ps. Em is even better than jay he's crazy but he's better still!
This shit is the REAL shit, along with Wu-Tang, old Mobb Deep, and Tribe Called Quest.
One BIG mistake though. On line 8 it's not "Y'all know my steelo". What an IDIOT. It's stylo, Italian for style. New Yorker rappers from Biggie Smalls to Raekwon use the word all the time. Sometimes it's easier to rhyme and other times it just looks cool.
This song is lyrically genius. 4 great minds bringing heat to one track made this a classic. it is one of the most slept on tracks, for it was over shadowed by other classic Nas songs on It Was Written. Nas' Verse was amazing, but the best verse would have to be Foxy Brown's. Classic record.
Niggga this song is the best songi in the world its so unique to rap as a jail cell and get so descriptive lyrically u can feel the pain and u can feeel the sufffer of being in jail......NAS THE GREATEST OF ALLL TIME (FUCK JAY Z) NAS NEVER TRADED HIS SOUL FOR RICHES
Is there any rapper like nas, i dont tink so. I'v wartch people like weezy, young junk and this so called young boys call their self rappers, well is not their fault hip-hop is dead so what do u expect. R.I.P Tupac, B.I.G.

I'm neither black nor white, I'm yellow. And I love Nas. This song is sick. People now are shoutin Lil Wayne's name, other fake ass rappers' names. Or in my hood, people jam on the Korean music which they even đon't know what the fuck these artists sing or rap. They just love these gay ass guys. While nobody heard the name Nas. Fuck'em all. While bitches go to sleep with the dream of fuckin with the gay ass G-Dragon, I go to sleep with something like a NY state of mind. Nas must be the best rapper alive.
every day the streets glimmers o.g.s playin the games they smack for gambling when solzed up they start killing cant share pain they just loose it shoud we go and live in thesky the eath gatta shine we need sweet dreams

------ About artist/band Nas
Im 17yrs old and its a dailey struggle out here for me period.I luv how nas just goes and is way more on top.Hes so gone and he doesnt flash his Ego.He does what he does because thats what he loves to do.If he didnt they he wouldnt be as successful as he is today.He makes it clear as day that anything you want to achieve and its possible.He made it up out of Queens like for real.He had his set backs like we all have.Nas seperates himself from all the background ish.And shows the essence of a MasterMind.
His words are crazy his vocabs.He is the best Poet.A rapper just Entertains.He makes things possible to see further and further.I luv his style but i luv the most he talks about the envirement,Polotics,struggles,kids,sex, he gives u knowledge that no artist gives you he lays it out fully and when he brings it its to the top he brings everything.Theres nothing that he cant spit on.He continues to shine to this day.Soo people out there make it happen.Theres a way out for everybody.He is a story of a living dream.Im an arist as well so it opens my eyes.Luv you Nas
Chelsey,Angel dust
Sending all my luv and support

Nas is the best rapper alive! Lil wayne is insulting rap by talkin nonsense and it bothers me that people jam to that. It just shows that times and music change Nas, Chino Xl, and The Game are 3 of the few rappers I can think of for keepin it real and showin us thatreal rap is still around. Hey 14 year old I got mad respect for you because you're young and smart for choosin Nas, Big daddy kane, and even Jedi Mind Tricks over bullSh*t like Lil Wayne and Drake and Sh*t like that. I saw Nas live last year and met him for around 5 seconds but Nas did a lot for me and got me threw my Grandmothers death when I listned to "Dance" which is about his mom's death. If I would have died after I met Nas I would have died happy. Respect to all of Nas fans!
Peace out Ya'll

My name is philip, and am from lagos nigeria, from day one and today till tomorrow that i listen to nas, i still can tell that his is the only, the illest M.c, living, yes his the man next to my heart, sometimes i only wonder what use to give all this fake ass motherfucking copy cats like lil wayne young jezzy, etc to mention few the guts to come out and tell the world that the are the best rappers alive. Looking down my list, i can tell to the skies that this cats ain't even got shit, not even up to M.cs like papoose, the Game, petty pablo etc, but how there them, they think they are deceiving the world? but Nas, i can tell you to hold on to your game, never deviate, 'cos people like us are out here listening to you, and those playing Hip hop,.. one love..

------ About the song Ether performed by Nas
who ever says nas keeps hip hop alive needs to understand what hip hop actually is, these days its become a music genre, what happened to writing and bboyin? and dont forget it was a DJ who started hip hop, not an mc.
but still (in my opinion) nas shits all over jayz in every aspect of rap, except commercial appeal (which isnt always a good thing anyway).
lil wayne can suck a dick, he hasnt done anything for rap music or hip hop culture, and i think the only reason everyone thinks the is "the godfather of hip hop" is because he appeals the the younger generation of listeners(10-13 y.o) who only like the music that is on the top 40 countdown, and he lil wayne has music commin out atm, so therefore he is on the countdown.
I respect both... | Reviewer: Its all good
------ About the song Ether performed by Nas
Nas killed it with Ether, I enjoy Jay-z's Takeover song, but his follow-up Supa Ugly was just not strong enough...still, Nas has joined Jay-z now, so to me that means that through the beef, they still respect each other, and Black Republicans is just a killer track with both of them.
Jay-Z is an extremely talented businessman, he knows who to ride with, what styles are good and what sells, he's done that his whole career. That makes him incredibly successful. Jay-Z is IMO, a genius at that, but Nas is more with the streets and good lyricism.

------ About artist/band Nas
NAS is seriously on another level with lyrics and mind of the hip hop world. I think NAS represent what hip hop suppose to be and how we should go about to use our music to reach out to people all over the world.
And am looking forward to "Distant Relative" Nas & Damian Marley album i am patiently waiting for it.
Bless up NAS..One Love
NAS IS KING | Reviewer: Cruize
------ About the song Ether performed by Nas
anybody who says Nas is shit and this song is crap then think again. These lyrics are pure genius, and any 'real' rap fan would see and appreciate this. most 'rap' fans love mainstream auto-tuned lil wayne and jay-z who rap about their money and shit.
yes jayz may have sold more records, appeared on stage and all that but that doesnt mean hes any better. Nas stayed low, he appeals to the real hip-hop fans. most mainstream fans dont want to hear the truth from the streets. please go ahead and compare ANY mainstream artists lyrics to Nas'. point proven.

------ About the song One Mic performed by Nas
I dunno if he tells a story as it is in the text. when I listn to this song, I don't see anybody killing somebody, I don`t see copkilling,hoodrats and dumbsters. It's like that one day at the stage just that one mic and no one can stop him, nobody from this past,the childhood,nobody with a gun. right now he got the weapon in his hand, a mic making his voice louder through the speakers, making everything done. its about the power of just one mic, telling everybody you want ... even kill somebody with words(lyricly). thats the thing for me. + for me its his masterpiece, havnt heard a song with so much soul in it. + the lyrics its just a masterpiece
NAS KILLS...NO DEBATE | Reviewer: Kadava
------ About the song Ether performed by Nas
Nas completely killed Gay-Z on this joint. Its actually like watching a roid head beat the sh*t out of a cripple. Jay CAN'T RAP!!! I don't get how people dont see this. His voice is nice aight but his flow, lyrics, and content are garbage. I've heard that Jay free styles most of his stuff...And it shows. And the fact that he runs a business or holds more papers than Nas don't mean nothing...I thought it was about the music. HERE are the best rappers of all time: 1. PAC 2. NAS 3. BIG 4. EM 5. RZA. And ya maybe Big would have made that number 2 spot but he just doesn't have enough material to compare to Nas and Pac was always better than him anyway. Peace.
