Not the biggest Com fan since he’s kinda preachy but BE and Resurrection were ill so I look forward to this. I bet it gets pushed back though.
rmpwolf said this on May 21st, 2011 at 4:19 pm
@LAsupreme Shut the fuck up clown , ive given Nas so much props on this site its obvious I think hes dope. Dont read something I wrote in one section which wasnt even dissing Nas in the first place and disregard how many times ive said Illmatic is my favorite album or that Nas is a legend. Ive said 100 positive things about Nas on 2dbz so get your facts straight bitch. And yeah this song is gonna be epic.
marty mcfly said this on May 21st, 2011 at 4:20 pm
WOW so this drops out of the blue AND the album is supposed to be released in 1 month?
Johnny Blaze said this on May 21st, 2011 at 4:24 pm

@yeayea I was about to say, if the album was coming out June 23rd you know Common would be getting his wig pushed back, flo-rida style

Some will remember May 21st as the day of the failed Rapture.
I will remember May 21st as the day I heard a low quality 30 sec snippet of this common and nas collabo.
grs said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:00 pm
I was JUST takin to my brother today about how Nas and Comm needed to link up and do Music together and out of no where this shit pops up LOL. Ive Been watin for this to happen for a LOOOOONG Time July 23er cant come fast enough. Next on my wish list of Dream Calabos Nas & BlackThought.

Goddamn! I ain’t even a fan of Common but this shit sound nice as fuck
who cares said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:10 pm
@LAsupreme Last year I even made an imaginary tracklist for ILLmatic 2 so im a Nas fan.
1. NY state of mind pt. 3 prod. by Premo
2. Tech on the dresser ft. Jayz prod. by Premo
3. Martin and Malcolm ft. AZ prod. by 9th wonder
4. The last dragons ft Rae and Ghost prod. by Rza
5. GOD MCs ft Jay Electronica prod. by Marco Polo
6. Soul survivors ft Cl Smooth prod. by Pete Rock
7. Halfman / Amazon prod. by Large Pro
8. The Authorized biography of Krs-one prod. Alchemist
9. Why did I get married ft. Mary J Blige prod. Diddy
10. It was written again prod. by Kanye West
11. Pass the Torch ft. Lupe fiasco prod. by 9th wonder
So to even make up something like that based on Nas old albums I would have to be a huge fan of Nas. I made this up because I wanted Nas to make another sequel to my favorite album so I wrote some ideas. I rest my case
marty mcfly said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:11 pm
No I.D. not fuckin around with this beat. On some serious shit
Chris Parks said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Lol Ight no doubt, I may have judged the fat joe comment too soon. Nas& Lupe wuld be some classic shit. Too bad Lost Tapes 2 not droppin’
LAsupreme said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Its all good. I hope Common speaks on the whole beef with him being at the white house on his album but this song sounds like classic hip hop.
marty mcfly said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:31 pm
If the world ends in 40 mins and I don’t hear this track in full, I am seriously going to kick god’s a$$. Not Funny.

J.S. said this on May 21st, 2011 at 5:53 pm
^^^ I feel you , I just thought that it was funny. Only thing else I mite change is finding a way to put Just Blaze somewhere in the mix?
marty mcfly said this on May 21st, 2011 at 6:02 pm
sounds more like a Premier beat than NO I.D… Sounds great nevertheless
r_too said this on May 21st, 2011 at 6:17 pm
I don’t know what I like more, the snippet or the throwback picture of Nas and Common.

Ayo Marty Mcfly….
Im diggin the song list..BUT waaaaaaay too many features bruh. And I would hope Nas would be more creative than naming his album Illmatic 2. Lol.
But yo I dig the idea. I actually did one of those in my head a while ago.
Oak aka BlaQ Gzus said this on May 21st, 2011 at 8:08 pm
2 dope mc’s. should b great
nice tracklist marty
strapped_doobie said this on May 21st, 2011 at 8:43 pm
This is dope common going back to his roots that 90′s sounding shit is what he’s best at. Can’t wait till the full song comes out.

Am i dead? Did the rapture come and go? Am I in heaven???
Dorian said this on May 21st, 2011 at 11:27 pm
im not tryng to hate cuz ive paid to see com and nas. but i dont dont think com killed it. and the beat sounds dated. and marty mcfly is way to dedicated. and com went to the white house. wtF. and like yall said bigsean(wack) got OK beats from no i.d. this is just OK to me. is no i.d. losing his touch? or is this beat old? com sounded like he wrote his in the lab, in front of nas. (safe rhymes). and wouldnt rewrite. and nas kills. nice tracklist. drop the features. az and jay elect only.
peace said this on May 21st, 2011 at 11:33 pm
@peace dude its a snippet, u didnt hear all of the verses or even a full verse, just a few bars. Plus so what if the beat is dated?? its no secret that rappers sometimes use beats that a 1 year old, 2 yrs old or even 3 yrs old for their upcoming albums, not every beat that rappers use is entirely new. Wait til the full song comes out before u judge bro.
what?? said this on May 21st, 2011 at 11:59 pm
still waiting on “the dreamer” song
jobeezy said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 12:18 am
@what if i can tell its dated thats not a good thing.
peace said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 12:28 am
What the fuck does “dated” mean fool? You the ONLY ONE saying that, so I’m guessing you CAN’T TELL SHIT. RAW IS RAW GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON. What, you need that synthy shit for women STILL?
Phil said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 1:50 am
common will always be my favorite rapper…God this sounds like heaven.
figgy said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 3:27 am
@peace No offense but i doubt that your enough of an expert on rap beats to REALLY know if its dated or not. The beat might sound like an unreleased No I.D. instrumental from the 90s (and it might be for all we know) BUT a 90s sounding raw rap beat maybe have been the idea and sound that No I.D. wanted for this particular song. Hip Hop producers does that sometimes. Nothing wrong with that, right?? Im surely not complaining about a rap beat that mirrors the golden era of rap (rather than a crappy new-age sounding beat that u often hear today).
what?? said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 4:47 am
holy shit i’m looking forward to hearing the full version of this.
Hellamella said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 8:52 am
according to illseed they have recorded an album together but they just need a label. for those who don’t know illseed from allhiphop said a month in advance that jay elec was gonna sign with rocnation.
bob said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 10:04 am
The definition of lyricism over a dope beat. Can’t wait for this, haven’t been this hyped since Black Republican.
Great tracklisting @ marty. Couldn’t have made up a better one by myself. Nas and Lupe is a dream for any real hip hop fan.
The Last Emperor said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 12:36 pm
doesnt sound like a golden era beat….sounds like a 2002. my least favorite era in hip hop. yall are so quik to hype a snip cuz nas isnt in it. theres a real issue with dated prod getting released as new.
peace said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 1:23 pm
19 people hate life. i’m certain becuz this shit is going to be nuts
lovestoned said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 1:28 pm
12. King of Queens prod. by Nottz
13. Fuck 50 cent prod. by Havoc
14. Belly > Scarface prod. by kanye west
15. The messenger prod. by Premo
Add those songs and it would be a dope balance between solo tracks and tracks with features. All dont understand how crazy track 2 would be with Jayz . Just saying
marty mcfly said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Yall dont understand…
marty mcfly said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Mite have to switch producers on 12 and 13 cause of politics , I know.
marty mcfly said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 5:26 pm
@peace again, how the fuck do u really know if its dated?? what does that mean?? how is it possible for u to determine what year it came from? are you a professional beat maker or something??
U Cant B Serious said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 5:37 pm
@peace i said it mirrors the golden era, didnt say it came from the golden era. Also, 2002?? how would know that?? seriously!
what?? said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 5:39 pm
@what, the early 2000s had a distinct sound. just like the early 90s. this beat sounds like dilated peoples/J5. if you compared khalils beats on self scientifics first album to trials of the blackhearted, youll hear a distinct difference. and thats what im hearing now from no i.d…and everyone knows comm has been sitting on this album for a long time. not to mention how long it takes nas to do features. just with that info alone i could bet good money on this being old. maybe one his ghost producers made this beat and thats whose hating on me here. but new i.d. sounds less maschine-ish and more like instruments. which i love…so when i see a “new” id track and get juiced…i want something that will raise the bar on the entire industry.
peace said this on May 22nd, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Holy fuck. This song sounds incredible. Like someone said above me; these three guys need to do an album together.

@peace You are sooo wrong. I like the way you came with the hip hop concrete details to back up your hypothesis though. Lol @ you! This beat is new, the verses are new and No ID is the shit! PERIOD. Its amazing how you can derive so much from a 30 sec snippet, that’s some serious talent. Just Be Cool :-)
