sorry
just wanted to say happy friday
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MR FLORIDA says…..YES, WE CAN!! Lets get it. So we can Q on the white house lawn.
Pac is rolling in his grave. cats using his hooks ooh. somebody paid major bucks. is that em? Green gotta be the top DJ.
I just can’t wait until he gets into office because the first time he doesn’t give blacks what they want they will turn on his ass. lmao
Well well Nas are you trying to make me a fan? I’m feeling this track. Was that John Legend singing the hook?
Nas is the God MC
hot, as usual. you’re right, Ripcity.
it would be nice for a black man to be pres. but the whites in power will never allow it he will be killed and there will be war between the people sad but true
That was tight, Very creative, and I just wanna say “YES WE CAN”.
I must say NAS did his thing with that one.
Lady B, SIT DOWN!
Must we always be NEGATIVE and speak on the worst that could happen???
I don’t know. It’s not very inspirational, nor does it mention the issues that Barack is campaigning on. But for those people who are looking for Barack to cure everything that ills black folk I guess it’s ok. I’ll have to hear from them. Hopefully they won’t diss Barack when he doesn’t let all the black men out of jail on appeal which we all know ain’t happening.
diggin’ the trk…
Obama is a 32nd degree Prince Hall Mason
and related to the Royal Family…
I wonder how “down for the cause” he actually is or will be if elected.Let’s have faith but be realistic @ the same time-one NEVER KNOWS.
Most prez’z were some kind of Mason and/or blood relation to the ROYAL FAMILY…
PURE HOTNESS!!! YES WE CAN!! YEAH NAS!!!
Hiram Abiff is in here
Hot track. Very creative. Im diggin this album so far. Its time for music with some substance that you can bob your rock to!
Another comment, After reading the comments I want people to think about it. If not break the ice with one Black President or Not, then when will we ever be ready. If elected or not, you always have to take small stepping stones to make a differene in society, he has already made history, let see how far he can take it.
I like the track. Good use of one of my favorite tupac tracks. Nas always knows how to come correct politically.
Yes we can.. love the song.. Nas is damn good mc
Love thesong, Love the concept… Nas is a true thug poet.
Straight FIRE!! YES WE CAN!!!
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This album is sounding more militant and in line with Black Panther ideology. It’d be interesting to see who in fact is picking it up and actively listening to its message. It looks to be one of Nas’s strongest album with the weakest sales though time will tell. I can surely appreciate what he’s trying to do.
I soooo, soooo, wish that everyone would:
STFU & STFD and let this man run his campaign. The song is nice BUT I can’t help to think that Nas is riding the coattails of Pastor Jeremiah Wright in the publicity pool.
I would not be suprised if you hear that at Obama’s victory party in late november. Nas is always speaking the truth. I love this track and I’m glad he changed the album title because it sounded like a gimmick and Nas don’t need one.
WHO GIVES A FUCK IF YOU DONT LIKE THE MESSAGE …. NY RAPPER BACK ON THE MAP, COMPARED TO ALL THE DOWN SOUTH BULLSHIT……NY WE UP IN THIS BYTCH!!! NAS GOOD JOB, WILL SNATCH UP DUECES!!!
I like…I like
I love it!!!!!
nas is always speaking the truth lol
NAS IS JUST TOO SEXY IN THIS PIC….DAMN
Good look Nas, that was fresh! Now if only we change hip hop and kick these ringtone rappas the fuck out!
WHEN THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD A POSITIVE MESSAGE LIKE THIS??? POSITIVE RAP ….AND YOU SO USED TO LIL WAYNE BULLSHIT ,THIS IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT HERE IM SUPPORTING THIS TO THE FULLEST…..FUK CRAP MUSIK, CRACK MUSIK….MANIFESTING KNOWLEDGE IZ WHAT POPPING!!! FUK THAT DIRTY SOUTH BULLSHIT!
this song is the ish ..YES WE CAN!!!!…change the world
interesting….there are far more responses to who looked more bangin and what’s wrong with this picture than this post….
Sick song!Yes We can!NAs got it!FUCK BUSH FUCK HILARY!FUCK MCCAIN
NAS IS ONE OF THE REALEST DOIN IT
U GOTTA COP THAT NEW ONE WHATEVA HE NAMES IT
NEW GHETTO CLASSIC!!
“HANDCUFF YA BROAD” AT
http://www.myspace.com/thagrindaholic
MASTERPIECE!!! So great that Pac’ was sampled because if he was alive I KNOW he would’ve been one of Barack’s biggest supporters. I think Nas and Jay, the two people that had the biggest hip hop beef, can get all these young voters to change the world. Puffy couldnt do it with his “Vote or Die” campaigne because no one really wasnt feeling Kerry we just wasnt feeling Bush. Love this song though because Nas is backing Obama but also challenging him to get into office and rep’.
loL@ bluntblazer praising creativity
then makin a song called handcuff ya broad
LMAO niggas….
anyways…cool song but cant and shouldnt nobody get out on appeal man…hes gotta be everyones president he cant fix the past
but maybe he can cure the future…and there will be less people GETTIN locked up later on
NAS HALF MAN HALF AMAZING.
There will be a gang of songs dedicated to Mr. Obama, but he deserves it, cause he’s changing shit around the way it should it, and I love it.
gayzor..
@ LADY B
It’s negative people like you who cause our people’s progress to stop just when we’re getting some. It’s the people like that will stop Obama from being the president, all because you think “the white man won’t let him win” or “they’ll kill him if he wins” and not vote thinking that you’re helping. You wanna help? GO VOTE FOR THE MAN SO HE CAN WHIP THIS COUNTRY INTO SOME DAMN SHAPE AND STOP ADMITTING DEFEAT BEFORE THE RACE EVEN STARTS!
This shit hot… NaS still spits heat….
Love it but styles P cause im black is better
i think they need to save the singing and dancing till after he wins. Black ppl are in serious danger of clowning themselves.
There’s a lot of ppl that we need to vote for Obama that dont want to even remotely associate with Nas. He and Jeremiah Wright while not wrong need to shut the hell up for a while.
Let a black man concentrate and shut up with all the hooting and hollering. You don’t count your money while you sitting at the table!!!!
There will be time enough for celebration when the election is done.
NaS still tha God!!! Track is a banga’
@ Spinner22: Yeah the Styles joint is hotter, but it’s Called “Im Black”, not “Cause im black”…
Cage thanks Im talking about the one with Black thought on it I like the im black one too so are they two different mixes of them???
@ spinner22: Yes, styles has bout 2-3 versions. One has a reggae Artist on it (forgot which one) and the other one has shorty from floetry on it. The song with Black thought might be a Roots joint featuring styles P
Nice Nas…what can you sat about his man? Other rappers are, as he verbalizes, “Just a page in my rhyme book”. He is a true Hip-Hop legend. What we need is uplifting educational rap. I’m not saying you can’t party, but the: I have a gat/piece/glock, look at my chain, my socks, my shoes, my car, my dog, I am going to f*ck this/screw that, I f*cked you’re Mom/you’re girl, I’m a craze n*gga, ignorant derogatory, glorifying nothing rap has to go.
Some of these rappers need to go and listen to some Chuck D from Public Enemy and some KRS-1 from BDP for some knowledge, and to Rakim and Big Daddy, C.L. Smooth and many others for some flow. And hire someone like Pete Rock to hook them up with some decent beats. Then go find Slick Rick, Ghost Face, Afrika Bambaataa, George Clinton and a young Busta Rhymes to help them find some kind of style and originality.
..”say” that is
Cage I had to run out to my car to get Styles cd lol yeah its called cause Im black featuring Black thought if you thought Im black was hot go check out cause im black its 2 diiferent ones I needed the exercise thanks lol lol
^^^^ Lol sorry bout that spinner, never even heard that joint.. Or i was mad high when listening to that album.. Either way, my bad…
Enjoy the weekend folks!! My workday is over…
Brilliant concept. The production could have been better from Green Lantern but Nas delivered another lyrical gem.
And may I add to my list from above Biz Markie, Dana Dane, and Flava Flav for some comedy.
Nas is one handsome fellow…de’lish.
dj green lantern made the joint, pacs original is better. however obama will he stay going against the church? this said the black church will he turn his back on?
Thats hot!!!!
Refreshing lyricism. Love it! Love Nas.
Nas represents the other side of the spectrum that measures the elements of hip hop as a genre. In terms of this track, its HOT and extremely relevant. It won’t single handedly cure racism or the mirror fight we have as a culture, but it does ignite thought (pun intended). People will be for or against this quote. Either or, walk away knowing that the fight for change begins with you. Your world can go as far as you make it. Let’s begin self-reconciliation people. Don’t let the demise of another leader have to happen in order for us to recognize the strength in our actions. BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!
I love Nas. He is a true hip-hop artist. He makes real music that educates and makes people think. Can’t wait for the album!
OBAMA ‘08!!!!!!
YES WE CAN
I luv it. It’s real and positive. YES WE CAN!!!
Truth be told, this is a dope ass song. I was just sitting back thinking why anyone wouldn’t vote for this man and there are a couple of reasons, but not many for black folks. Hence, the reason why he is the first black Democratic candidate. He can’t leave 18 million votes on the table and not bring shady ass Hilary on the ticket, but who know what will happen. Check out my blog, I get down

VERY IMPRESSED!!! I LOVE IT!
FOREVER A NAS FAN!!!

Earth to Black people ! No one is changing FOR you but they dont mind changing WITH YOU if Obama is Elected. Etha way NO one is changing FOR you. You are not now NOR have you EVER been that important. YOUR MIND I TOO WEAK. IT DOES NOT MATCH the strong look of YOUR BODY.
Cage you have good weekend to I get songs mixed up to lol there is so many mixes and they use each other samples its not hard Yeah styles did a featore on roots rising down with mos love that boyfriend is sick of hearing me playing the roots new album which is smoking I told him get ready to be listening to NAS as well when his new one drops lol cause he is GOD in my crib lol lol

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WTF! DOES THAT MEAN!
CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
Wow! Haven’t heard anything this amazing from Naz in years! This reminded me of 2Pac and how inspirational SOME of his songs were. Go Nas, I may just be getting his new album if the songs are as great as this!
Go OBAMA 08!
Has anyone noticed that the beat of this song is very similar to that of Lupe Fiasco’s song “Little Weapon?” I love Nas and all but…I’m just saying.
GO OBAMA!!
I smell NAS doing big numbers when this album drops.
IM MINDSLAVE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!
Mccain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I happen to like it but…. Maybe thats becuz im a naive black mam.
Would It Kill You, America, To “Surprise Us, And Let A Black Man Guide Us”?
omg i just hears HERO from nas oh man what a diverse album hes got hes rapping tight on it with listening to lyrics close as Talib Kweli would say hes spitting like a 9 mil LOVE YOU nAS
Hey Bossip if you read these posts put up Hero for all the NAS fans here I love his par on this one it kinda killed the beat but thats good I think Nas could do a freestyle rap whole album and it would be good with out the beat and hook lol lol lol
sORRY BOSSIP for calling you out i need a contact mail I would also like you to post more ESTELLE news she has a video out there I think her music is so real and not like the others she needs her own name on the side as well for peeps to click
I like that you are posting more Nas stuff and give some of the underated underground peeps a shout out they deserve it
Im a big fan of music and come here more to get a scoop on the music the goospi is second
How about more stuff on the roots Talib kweli Mos Estelle SWiizzy Beats Chrissette JOY Delane willis and the investigatorers styles p Saigon john leegend and what about KEM lol im just saying throw us a bone more Thank you
Ok my boo says i got show the south love what about T I sorry Luda unk boss daddy andre bun b Loe my t
OK NAS DROP HIS ALBUM DO YOU THINK A SITE WILL CRASH
YES SIRR
LIKE I SAID BEFORE EXCUSE ME FOLS BUT I SEE HOPE AND I HAVENT SEEN FOR AWHILE SO EXCUSE MY ASSINEEEE WAYS
i support nas 100% and his tracks are far from wack.nas kicks the truth society is afraid of.Keep it coming ,although i am disappointed he changed the name of his album.
Love NAS, whish he would have kept title
I like this track. Lets be real BLACK people, Barack will have a responsibility for all people, not just for blacks. But that’s just like black folks, time something does not go right we will black him, be supportive.When Barack is president, I have faith he will do his best for all people. May God bless and protect Barack and the rest of the world.
I think dat his message is great and I applaud him for making an effort to help the word out there. But, I also agree with others in saying you got some shisty ass black people out here not all just some. And when he does one thing they dont agree with they are going to dis own his ass and talk all knida crazy mess.

^^^ CONCURS!!!
@bossip quit being so negative and offer some support and positive feedback on issues.
nas my favorit lyrickster with knowldge and the power to rhyme on any topick the best in hip hop forever and always a big fan
Nas is looking good these days….he used to have a boyish appeal……now he’s looking a little more manly….Kelis must’ve opened a “can of man” and mad his ass drink it !!

As always, Nas delivers….
…when he actually gets a round to it.
all you need is one mic nas i hope u hav it on your album brotha cause im looking for that lyric
I hope Nas is making a campaign contribution. Using Barack’s voice in a song has lawsuit written all over it.

Preach.
anyway, what’s this shit about cordoning off black neighborhoods in DC? if the shit that I hear that’s about to go down in DC for the sake of safety were to go down in some of these white neighborhoods……………………… people need to stop and think; the Bill of Rights & Constitution should apply to everyone, even people so desperate they’re willing to throw both away for safety’s sake.

===================================
the OP might be a bigot. however, for me, it probably means that black folk need to grow up? because, at least here in America, there’s a lot of growing up and growing beyond that needs to be done.

Wisdom.
Besides, I hope most of these people talking ‘yes we can’ are voting. I know many people here are, and God Bless every one of you. You make the Dream a reality. Need more, though. And, talking about how white folk don’t want him in office doesn’t help when it’s white folk getting ready to put him there. I’ve seen more than a few black folk ready to keep him out of office, so it’s not entirely ‘black and white’. More like ‘old ways versus new ways’. Race plays a huge role, but black folk need to stop pretending we’re the only ones to get Obama to where he is — poor Obama, who could barely get negros to look at him pre-Iowa (moment of truth: I was one of them). We’ll see what happens.
Time to really embrace the new.
Lady B, I know how you feel; and it’s scary when you have bitches like Hillary Clinton.. but let me stop, and backstabbers like Joe Lieberman.. and let me stop again. (Funny how that pairs up, the pro-Israeli segments are the ones putting out a lot of the lies, now; but we’re not supposed to talk about that. I wonder why?)
Gotta have faith. Let’s have some faith. God be with you, Lady B.
I LOVE THIS SONG AS I KNEW I WOULD NAS IS THE TRUTH WHEN IT COMES TO SPIITIN LYRICS AINT NO QUESTION ABOUT IT AND OF COURSE WHO BETTER TO REP BLACK POWER WITH NONE OTHER THAN THE LEGEND HIMSELF TUPAC MUFFUCKIN SHAKUR YA DIG !!!! I AM DEFINATELY VOTING FOR OBAMA AS LONG AS I STILL CAN {LOL}SOMEONE TOLD ME I DONT SEEM LIKE IM THE KIND OF PERSON THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE … I WAS LIKE WOW WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN @ WHAT KIND OF PERSON DO I SEEM LIKE A FELON ???? OK YEA I RIPPED THAT ASS FORABOUT A WEEK LONG SO NOW WHENEVER I SEE HER SHE RUSHES OFF IN ANOTHER DIRECTION …HOW FUNNY WHAT A JOKE SHES VERY LUCKY I TOOK MY MEDICATION EARLIER THAT DAY….ANYWAYS~EVERYONE HAS TO VOTE LETS NOTY GET ALL EXCITED AS IF THE JOB IS COMPLETE ITS NOT LETS GET HIM IN THE NOT SO WHITE HOUSE !
I think this a great track with a great beat. NAS has done a great job!! Obama has inspired many disgruntled voters to take part in this country’s democracy. He has allowed people to really have a sense of accountability for the well being of each other. So rather than thinking about what he will do for “me”, “our people”, “black people”… let’s think about how he has united so many people across different racial backgrounds, ethnicities, and age to come together around a common ground of making things better for everyone. Its just a plus that he happens to be a black man!! I mean its great…a president that can play some real ball
So come on people…let’s elect him and with him try to make this country and this world better for everyone.
THIS LITTLE CHUMP IS DESPERATE FOR RECORD SELLS DAMN IT’S GETTING SAD NAS.
