  5. I can’t listen to any more tracks, it’ll ruin the album for me. I’m glad to see people are enjoying the song, hope I will too when the album drops.

  7. Dope. Not Nas’ best effort lyrically, but the song is dope overall. Beat is nice as fuck.

  8. Incredible! This is how you drop a dope lead up track for the album. Every song released has been dooope. NaS = GOAT!

  20. No disrespect to Nas and No ID but this track is predictable. The beat sounds like a thousand others. When Illmatic dropped it was unlike anything else. This track just sounds like Nas is trying to emulate himself. It’s cool but that’s about it. This reminds me of classic jazz artists stopped innovating when they got older.

  24. @TB, if the track is predictable then cool because Nas was one of the original MCs that pioneered this type of style in the first place. Nas cant pretend like he’s 20 years old in 2012 and come with some currently trendy sound just to please high school kids cause that wouldn’t be true to who he is. If he’s using a 90s sound then that makes since because Nas is from that era.

  25. This is not predictable at all. This is Nas channeling his best self.

  28. @marty for the first time ever i can second ya! this is grown ass man music

    ionknow said this on July 2nd, 2012 at 6:24 pm

  29. @marty mcfly

    i never said nas should pretend he’s 20 and make trendy music. this track is dope but it’s not groundbreaking and doesn’t stand out. you make it sound like nas has only 2 options: make trendy pop music or use recycled sounding beats. stillmatic is a great album because it combines classic nas lyricism with (at the time) modern production. again, no disrespect to nas or no id but this track didn’t blow my mind. not even close.

    TB said this on July 2nd, 2012 at 6:26 pm

  30. @TB, I dont think Nas is trying to express some grand idea for this song. I think this is the opening song on the album so his intent was probably just to put people back in that NY state of mind because its fitting for the overall sound of the album.

    marty mcfly said this on July 2nd, 2012 at 6:35 pm

  31. This is the shit Ive been waiting on!!! Nas is the ONLY nigga still left doing that raw shit…..IM copping on 17th July for real tho!!

  35. Big up Nas for getting back to that real rap he’s used to spittin. And I’m still “trapped in the 90′s” & IDGAF!

    WHAT! said this on July 2nd, 2012 at 7:47 pm

  36. IMO, every track released so far has been pretty damn solid. Hopefully the rest of the album is as consistent, cause this album looks like it might be an AOTY contender.

  37. Another Dope Track. Cant wait to hear the album in its entirity. Good look Nas. Keep doing Big Things.

  42. I can’t listen to anything else, I need to chill and wait for that Itunes deluxe with the all the extra joints. Then I’ll patiently wait for a copy on wax…so much fucking dope…

    zachariah said this on July 3rd, 2012 at 4:12 am

  43. Don;t get me wrong, this track is straight ill shit. But it sounds like a copy of NY State of Mind. The piano is so similar. Even Nas’ flow is reminiscent. But I’m still blasting this on full.

  45. Nas is a genius

    At seventeen I made seventeen thousand livin’ in public housin’
    Integrity in tact, reppin’ hard
    They askin’ how he disappear and reappear back on top
    Sayin’, “Nas must have naked pictures of God or somethin’”
    To keep winnin’ is my way like Francis
    As long as I’m breathin’, I’ll take chances
    A soldier comin’ home, twenty years old with no legs
    Sayin’ there’s no sense to cry and complain, just go ‘head
    So much to write and say, yo I don’t know where to start
    So I’ll begin with the basics and flow from the heart
    I know you think my life is good cause my diamond piece
    But my life been good since I started finding peace
    I shouldn’t even be smilin’, I should be angry and depressed
    I been rich longer than I been broke, I confess
    I started out broke, got rich, lost paper then made it back
    Like Trump bein’ up down up, play with cash

  49. This is the kinda shit that makes me fall in love with hip hop again. I listen to more than hip hop so there are times when I’m caught up in other music & don’t even pay attention to rap at all. But Nas is one of those artists that is better than the genre itself & reminds me why I’ll always love Hip Hop, the classic hip hop sound at least.

  53. No disrespect to Nas and No ID but this track is predictable. The beat sounds like a thousand others.

    ^ name one beat this sounds like. everyone on here saying this song sounds like something on illmatic can’t name one illmatic song this song sounds like. y’all must have broken ears. this is a good track. i like how no i.d. added the train sounds in and lol @ loco-motive as the title (crazy method/train). yeah, nas and no i.d. came with a crazy method for this one. all the critics in here probably had a train run on them by their uncles. lol.

    speezola said this on July 5th, 2012 at 5:19 pm

  54. Y’all niggas never happy…if he does something like this y’all all say it too redundant or ,predicatable, if he did something different or newer yah would bitch about how Nas has sold out.

    You know why rappers don’t give a fuck about a critic is because of this bullshit. I love this song but I also would like something with drake or a newer type shit.

    Nasirjonesfan said this on July 6th, 2012 at 5:53 am

  55. I don’t really have a problem with the soundscape and Nas has always given us that real shit but y’all niggas are tripping, the contemporary shit will be on the album.. Nas’ is just as descriptive as ever and this concept was crazy.. Nigga never wastes a bar, EVER..

    Lance Geneva said this on July 6th, 2012 at 10:09 am

  56. Wow no one can say he isnt on his shit. If No I.D. has better prod. than this on the album then I’m sold on No Premo. Life Is Good will be FAR from a Nastradamas.
