Hey my list of most heard songs is gonna be a list of real dirge. I think the most heard one is that fucking Party rock anthem by Lmfao. It’s everywhere, it was huge in Vietnam and Britain, while I was home. It’s inescapable. And shit. Second is probablyon the floor by J-Lo, again it was just everywhere, I was amazed at the distribution/marketing of this song. Within a week of it being on American idol it was all over Vietnam, I even heard it in shitty villages in buttfuck nowhere, the real sticks, fuck knows how they manage that. I have heard this song in 4 different countries too.Third is probably not a song but that turd in a gay ass suit, Pitbull.The most un-pitble like man on the planet, whenever I hear a song and think, ‘this is shit’ shitbull drops a verse. Then it’s the lambada/happy birthday that trucks play when they reverse here.As for songs I’ve bumped a lot, I can and have listened to this any time, I love it
I could have picked one of a few Bronson tunes, I’ve listened to him a shitload this year,
I want you guys to post a list of your 'most heard' 12 tunes of the year. Not the tunes you rate the most but have heard over and over again on the radio or listened to over & over again. They don't have to be from this year. Unfortunately mine would probably include the call of duty lobby music and most of that kanye album that was stuck in my CD drive in my car for months. Peace
Hey guys.. Round 2 of the beat battle between me and Mark is about to go up on here in the next day or so!
In the meantime, though I'm not in the habit of posting my beats on here, I made this one evening as a little break from the stresses of competition and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out so I thought I'd stick it on here..
This one makes a lot more sense, more of a nod to Nas than a reworking/tribute. nice beat too.
Quick note to say that Nas album is well worth a DL, there is a link to a word document that has the link to the album in it in the youtube comments/description bit. (of the deja vu vid posted below)
and I struck gold with this, i thought it was pete rock, but it's produced by some unknown dude called chriss western or something, this should be on illmatic, he recorded it after Illmatic, it's as good as the stuff on illmatic
After posting Back to the grill again a while ago, I thought it would be a good idea to find any Nas stuff from the Illmatic era, thinking he might be as amazing as he was on that album, featuiring or guesting on other songs. i was wrong. Apart from Back to the grill, after illmatic he did some shit guest spots, this forgetable effort from the dream team of Kool G rap and Nas is only worth posting for the fucking up of their gangster handshake at about 0.15 seconds
Another (much later 1999)Dream team pairing of Nas and Slick rick is okay, I, like you I assume have heard this song a shit load of times but I didn't ever pay attention to the rapping. Nas is appalling on this tune, I was shocked when I payed attention to his lyrics. Also when listening to the art of story telling, I always get the impression that slick rick is a bender. He always mentions gay blokes, likes going straight to the butthole an is a rapist. All very gay traits. Also, I think the persecution lawyers at his rape trial should have just played adults only to the jury. lyrics like this just make it seem like he's more interested in blokes than women,
And when I step into a room, pimps hide they hoes
"Is that really him?" "Yes, that's his Highness
and for the last time stop lookin at his fine ass"
(Y'know!) Homosexuals, smirk, converse and say
"That nigga box is WORKIN girlfriend!"
So during illmatic Nas guested on cuban links with his pitch perfect verse on Verbal intercourse, drops another shit hot verse on Mobb deep's Eye for an eye. I actually like the rapping on this, 'one on one' - from the street fighter soundtrack, the beat is pretty soft though, in drastic need of a remix.
He also did 2 tracks on AZ's do or die. I really like AZ's flow, I haven't given either of these tunes a good airing, though I have Dl'd this album, it's meant to be a classic, I'll give it a spin and let you know what I think. Gimmie yoursand
damit now everything is big. So, a pretty inconclusive and confused post, there's not alot of other great nas stuff out there that we didn't already know about.
also what the fuck is elhzi doing with his nas tribute stuff? I can't think of a single reason why it might be a good idea, it's lame...

Has anyone got this album yet? here's ghostfaces review of it, here's what he likes;
9. Who Gon Stop Me – Now THIS shit is a problem yo. When it started the god was like ok cool….you kno…I was enjoyin it….the bassline was soundin like a lion growlin n shit. There wasa ill mood to it. Im diggin the joint namsayin….but then it starts really transformin into a monster after a couple minutes….n its like yo…we got a serious contender for best song on the album now. By the middle it sounds like niggas is drivin Lamborghinis around in the studio n drums is hittin like automatic weapons. I love this track son.
Heres's what he doesn't;
2. Lift Off (ft. Beyonce) – I almost aint wanna even comment on this shit son…. I dont even kno what to say bout it yo. This shit sounds like the anthem the fairies in Ferngully would use to go to war against evil humans to or some shit b. This shit is like Shia LeBeouf in song form yo. Lissenin to this shit is like havin ya ears penetrated by a million microscopic dicks namsayin. Shit sounds like niggas doin aerobics on a magical cloud of daisies. How many meadows did Kanye cartwheel across before he decided to make this beat? Seriously yo…. Jus how many lily pads did the nigga skip across the pond on before he got inspired to make some shit like this? Definitely one a the worst songs Jay ever been involved in…thats includin those lame joints off Vol 3 wit Amil n Mariah or the worst songs off Kingdom Come….EVEN the Timbo joints off Blueprint 3. Like this joint is SOFT son. Guess thats why Jay only spit like 5 n a half bars on it. Its like the song Yung Berg would play before he goes n commits his latest string of L’s. Shit is jus terrible son…especially since it took like 6 niggas to produce this muthafucka.
11. Made In America (ft. Frank Ocean) – First of all son….Lionel Richie called from 1986 n said he wants his song back yo. Word. Sade jus holla’d on twitter to say this shit is soft as fuck namsayin. I think Elton John wants to conceive babies to this joint b. Drake said he gon soak in his lotion pool to this shit rite here for like a week son. I think Wiz Khagina is scissorin wit Amber Rose to this shit rite now as we speak yo. I heard this shit gon be used for the next Gwyneth Paltrow movie too. I dont kno how the same nigga that did Who Gon Stop Me had anything to do wit this shit but apparently he did nahmean. This shit sounds like two niggas hang glidin over the ocean together at sunset holdin hands son. I think this is bout to be on Yung Berg’s yoga playlist. I cant fuck wit this shit at all b. This shit is like audio lesbian comin out my speakers son.
Not had some preemo on here for a while, I read that this is the first Nas/preemo tune since 2001, that can't be right...
Don't diss Party Arty! It doesn't matter if he's a shit rapper, that song is amazing, most of all it's a coherant song, which is something that is missing from the majority of Hip Hop. There are loads of great rappers rapping over great beats, but there's a surprising lack of songs in Hip Hop. 93 till infinity is a song. Gangstarr made songs (I think a rapper producer combo make much more songs, than a guy that raps over any of dudes beats.) That tune is perfect, not in the sense that it's the best song ever but it perfectly achieves what it sets out to do. His rapping is completely without ego or bravado, he is eloquent. The melancoly of the beat has an uplifting beauty that is totally in sync with the lyrics. It's sad and beautiful in perfect measure, beat and vocals, it's a rare thing.
