it really bothers me that he STILL has the audacity to call himself God’s son (i’m a Christian), but the song is tight. make be a n_gger too was just a fluke and this album is gonna be tight? idk henry what are your thoughts.

song really doesn’t do anything for me. the production is kinda lame and the use of the keys is straight up doo-doo.

even though he quotes QB in the beginning, i have never in my life heard anything like this in the QB.

i do like what he says, just not feelin the delivery. i guess those Nas days of being verbally iller than an AIDS patient are over.

The person who mentioned that Nas’s only good verse was on live from the bbq, I beg a difference. Take a look back at his last 3 album’s. Song like: Last N… alive, Don’t body your self, you da man, Seriuosly these are just a few off the top of my head. Check your stats before you claim something, but I guess your looking for more versatile flows like 50 and Little wayne..

I’m a NaS fan, there’s only one album that hasn’t vibed with me on some level (hated Nastradamus). I’m not feeling the production on this track, though Nas’ lyrics make up for the distracting sounds. I give it 3 out of 5 mics.
