Nas – “The Don”

B-Easy March 15, 2012 11

It’s just feel good to know we have a Nas album coming (And according to the man himself, it’s finished). Think about; It’s been almost four years since Nasir dropped Nigger Untitled. We got “Nasty” last year as a sample of what’s to come and it was dope. As for most of the cameos we’ve gotten from him lately, he sounds inspired on those tracks too.

So finally we get another single off the upcoming Life Is Good album with “The Don”. What does it sounds like? Well, it seems like Da Internz was’t just talking shit when they said Nas trying to take it back to the lyrics. “The Don” is also right about on par with “Nasty” as far as production and the old school feel (Which may be due to sampling Super Cat’s “Dance Inna New York”). Plus, if you listen to the lyrics, Heavy D produced the beat (With help from Salaam Remi & Da Internz). How real is that?

    the beat is ok but the Lyrics  are on point

    This song is dope as fuck man. Nas is definitely one of the best of all time and he not even 40 yet still putting it down. Man I’m excited about this new Nas album.

  • Rickjamesbitch

    It’s on point, I don’t think it’s quite as good as Nasty but I like it and the lyrics are there.  I just hope Nas can get some classic production this time around, Untitled (and a lot of his other albums) was lacking in that department.  I’d love to hear him work with Preemo, Alchemist, Pete Rock, Kanye, or even Large Professor again.

    But even if he doesn’t I’m just happy to have Nas back.

    I’m liking this beat…  the break down is crazy at the end. Can see this getting play @ the club. Looking foward to hearing Nas work with current and upcoming producer with the exception of premo, kayne and Dr. Dre.. good track.

  • King Jerm

    first time Nas hasn’t put me to sleep in a while.

    • P-Body

      I knew you was going to say that Jerm. Something told me…. I don’t know why you have this animosity towards Nas when he been dropping some good music. I don’t see how you thought Untitled wasn’t a good album, I’m still puzzled about that one.

      • DuB

        Because Untitled wasn’t a good album!

        • P-Body

          You bugging. What was so bad about the album?

          • DuB

            It was a conceptual album that had an undeveloped concept! His beats sucked and it was boring as fuck!

          • Rickjamesbitch

            He should’ve let Jay Elec produce the whole thing, Queens Get The Money was fire.

          • This Guy

            Yup. I would have left Make The World Go Around off. And probably change some of the average beats.
