The album should be out by the summer I would think. Nas tweeted it was done a couple of weeks ago.

Discuss the album here.

Flex to premiere new single tonight.

saw something about a new track being co-produced by Heavy D. Could be interesting - the few beats I heard of his sounded pretty good. Then again it could be a marketing gimmick. If it was just Nas rapping over Feel It In The Air i'd be happy.

new Nas song tonight
new El-P song today

I, FOR ONE, AM EXCESSIVELY FUCKING HAPPY WITH REALITY, I TELL YOU WHAT

stype_ones · Post by **stype_ones** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:35 pm

Apparently, these are the lyrics:

[Intro: Super Cat]
Super Cat
New York girls dem are bad over we (4x)
Nas the Don (8x)
In a new york city (4x)

[Verse 1]
Yeaג¦.yea
Smoking a escubano, guzzle my second bottle
Hope I donגt catch a homo (homicide)
Grossing our net
Simultaneous making me climb higher heinous crimes behind me
Search but can't find me
Fuck sadness
Had this been you havin this lavish
Habitual happiness at me you wouldnגt look backwards
You would have sex on condominium roof decks
So anyone move next
I'll hit you with two techs
Rocking Roberto Cavalli no shirt on convertible Mazy
My Columbiana mommy ridin beside me
Every tat mean something, thatגs my word on my body
Iגll have to lean something wit that Mossberg shotty
My niggas is ignorant put lead in yo pigment
Just for all the days y'all was mad I was getting it
In 97 the six
98 the Bentley
Now itגs the Ghost Phantom
And yaגll can't stand em butג¦ג¦

[Hook]
Nas the Don (8x)
In a New York city (4x)

[Verse 2]
Army Jacket swag Army jacket green and black
Wit the square top pocket that snaps
Where the gas at?
Pass that, not you
You hold crack where your ass at
I never did that, my sock where my stash was at
Yo I use to listen to that red alert and rap attack
I fell in love with the poetry I mastered that
Cuttin school with Preme team at phat cat was at
Future not crystal clear yet Baccarat

Now im the one thatגs reppin Queens way beyond your wildest dreams
Bottles on bottles with sparklers surround my team
That long cash get the baddest bitches out they jeans
20 years in this game lookin 17
I donגt lean: no codeine, promethazine
I just blow green pick which a bitch can bless the king
Although heגs on to another chapter
Heavy D gave this beat to Salaam for me to rap to
Blaaaahג¦

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Yeah yeah..
New York is like an Island, a big Rikers Island
The cops be out wildin, all I hear is sirens
It's all about surviving same old two step
Tryna stay alive when
They be out robbin, I been out rhyming
Since born knowledge like prophet Muhammad
Say the ink from a scholar
Worth more than the blood of a martyr
So I'mma
Keep it on til I see billion dollar
Keep your friends close and ya enemies closer
Love model chocha mommy pop it like she suppose to
Eyes red shot like I'm never sober
Big time smoker, Indonesian doja
Minis you can hold up before you get all wet up from my soldiers
Don shit
Under fire I remain on some calm shit
This for every ghetto and the hood
Nas the Don and Supercat the Don Dotta
Understoodג¦

[Hook]

new song is alright, def not the worst thing he's done. we'll see if it holds replay value

funny thing though

Hope I donגt catch a homo (homicide)

the parenthetical isn't in the actual song, it was inserted by whoever typed up the lyrics. lol

More hip-hop producers attempting reggae influenced beats should take a cue from "Promised Land" on the "Distant Relatives" album and just lift classic riddims from the vault, rather than try to make garbage beats like this one.

PEACE

Nas transcribed the lyrics himself for Rap Genius, confirming hes the 2nd most despicable cunt in existence.

Tical Swords · Post by **Tical Swords** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 12:41 am

This song's so watered down its sad. I saw an interview where Premier and Pete Rock said they're waiting for Nas to give em the green light so they can make an album with the Illmatic producers but Nas is all about the money these days.
