    This is dope.

    I shrugged when I heard he was coming out with a new album.
    But after the first few singles/tracks I might have to check for it.

    great music, nas has always been the greatest

  18. FTW says:

    Dope.

    Can’t ignore it…

    I’m too cool with her, should have drove more time to school with her (c)

    Damn Nas.

    FTW

  19. So Icy Boi! says:

    I don’t like it. Dats just mah opinion. swag

  20. gammaboi says:

    WOW, this is what I need from Nas. Dope lyrics and dope beat to match. Nas needs more of this and less the “Don” and “Nasty” wack ass beats. Salaam Reemi isn’t his match.

  21. the brain trust says:

    Mahnnnnn. Nasir jones just dropped a gem

    Dope as fuck!

    Shit for niggas with daughters, I call it…..

    NO I.D. is an unbelievable producer! But you knew that already.

  22. Anon DCPL says:

    Woooooo this is that dope Nas shit.

    Like someone mentioned above, this is the sound he should be going forward with. No I.D.’s sound compliments Nas’ style more effectively than Salaam Remi (besides made you look).

    Nas is really the last true emcee who spits the whole 5.

    Salute.

  23. CaliSteppin says:

    This is fuckin dope! Can’t wait for his album! Nas should let No I.D. produce the majority of his album. This beat and ghetto dreams suited him perfectly

  25. SMILEY says:

    NAS is the best lyricist of all time..maybe not the best artist cuz of what many people deem as “inconsistencies” but nobody can fuck wit him.

  26. loch121 says:

    This track is amazing and I wonder who made it.It feels like a No ID Common type beat.This is everything that Black Girl Lost 2 wasn’t.This is crazy.classic.The god Nasir

Premiered earlier this afternoon by Power 105.1′s DJ Prostyle, the No I.D.-produced cut sees the Illmatic One take the blame for his daughter’s potential romantic mishaps (“She was taught and raised like a princess, but while I’m on the stage I can’t leave her defenseless/She heard stories of her daddy thuggin’/ So if her husband is a gangster can’t be mad, I love her”).

  35. Marko-V says:

    We all have seen Nas’ daughter wreckless behavior via the net and said to ourselves Damn Nas. Now he addresses the situation in a much broder sense and represents for every single man of his generation who weren’t brought up in the internet age. This is more than a song. It’s an anthem.

    @2remarkoble

    @So Icy Boi is the biggest troll ever, he listens to Gucci Mane, i once read a post and he claimed he was signed to YMCMB and releasing mixtapes/albums. He is living in denial.

  73. ACE says:

    NAS + No I.D = great combo …. DAUGHTERS > black girls lost

  74. Grim DeLarge says:

    this wasnt bad, it doesn’t have replay value to me though BUT i forgot: i can’t have my own opinion, so i have to dickride b/c nas is a legend, and if i dont like the song then they suppose i dont know or listen to “real” hip-hop (whatever the fuck that is) so therefore this is THE BEST RAP SONG EVER!!!

  75. DJ Semtex's Prosthetic says:

    nice

  76. Queensbridge says:

    def on point, love it

  77. adrian says:

    this shit TOO hard!! i haven’t like a nas song since ‘the message’. replay value is not as important as a song that moves you the first time you hear it. thumzup
