Heavy! 🔥This man is more lyrical than the mass majority of rappers being pushed in mainstream media today. And that Nas influenced flow.. Very nostalgic and refreshing. He has potential..
yo...he definitely lifted Nas' cadence but his wordplay is particular (Check his EP). He bends a lot of words, tells a lot of jokes and has heavier diction. The compounds he rhymes are different too. Nas should sign him to Mass Appeal. Fashawn, Boldy James and Droog would be a nice roster.
These arguments are damn n3ar pointless and unnecessary. Clearly the guy can fuckin spit, clearly the mans got bars, clearly the man knows hip hop. How can you say he has "nas inspired lyrics" tf that even mean. You know how many people are inspired by other peoples work? Everyone has an inspiration, and everyone has a tint of someone behind their persona. Because thats what inspired them. Because he has the vocal tone and cadence of nas means hes biting him? Maybe more like hes captured the purest form of hiphop and delivers it how he thinks it should sound. Schoolboy q says he makes his music to resemble 50. You know how many fuckin people sound like waka, gucci, and chief keef? Different voices, same trash. In this case, different ment, similar voices. This guys knows how to rap. Hop tf off
What ever way you slice it son can rhyme! It's close to impossible to sound as good as Nas. Not only is the voice & cadence the same but also the complex ways he formulates his lines. That's talent, fuck hate.
I said that too. I just hope that few yrs from now he develops his own uniqueness. Nas had the same criticism when he started rem? "...but look at me now.."
Ok seen the other video of this dude and some heads were still claiming it's Nas being Lip synced SMH is anyone still one that conspiracy shit after this video tho or has this finally put that droog is nas shit rest tho?
Yoh I was about to comment saying what if he signs with Mass Appeal? He did? I will be both hyped and confused considering his back story's connection to the GOAT.
My dude, stop the bumbaclot talk bout dude sound like game. He from bklyn ny, no comparison. East coast influenced of course, but he sounds like Droog. You not from the east you wouldn't understand.
Yeah but the only difference is that this guy spits fire.. Fuck hits. His whole first tape is a hit mixtape.. So do u dislike em cus hes cocky?? Cus thats every rapper in history
Idk dude, hes still fairly new to the rap game and he got co signs from sway (respected hiphop radio personality) and he was on tour with dj premier. Hes already touring oversees. Your looking to deep into his personality, this isnt a presidential election; if he cocky than so be it.. But i personally dont feel like thats enough to discredit someone or a good enough reason to not fuck with someone who is lyrically dope. Cus regardless this dude has punchlines for days.. Some of the likes i havent heard from a rapper in a long long time.. When me and my friends hear this guy we dont even think of nas. Theres other people who definitely feel the same. Just like people who never got over the whole action/ghostface thing; there will be people who will never get over the whole droog/nas thing.. But thats fine.. I just dont see why u would let a dudes ego get in the way of u liking his music or not. Its good music regardless..
This dude is dope...*LIKE REAAAALLLLY DOPPPPEEE* The only knock on him is the same knock people had for Nas when he came out. Sounds too much like his idol.
Alpha Shenron There is a video of him addressing the comparisons and he says "..one thing me and Nas have in common...we are both Nasty.." AND if you listened to his references in his EP you would know why EVERYONE was adamant that he was Nas. *WHEN DID HE SAY HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO NAS?*
In an written interview by the New Yorker he says he respects nas but sees himself more as a big l or kool g rap. He doesn't even see himself as nas or the similarities between him and nas.
Alpha Shenron If you listen to him rap do you agree with that? When Nas came out he couldn't get signed at Def Jam coz Russel Simmons said he "sounded too much like Kool G Rap" So what does that tell you? I would expect him to deny any comparisons to the GOAT since he wants to make a name for himself. I would've been bothered if he agreed to sounding like him even though it is obvious.
You're getting really into this. Nah man it doesn't matter to me if he accepts or deny I'm just saying that's what he claims but going as far to say he's lying is a little bit of a reach don't you think ? I feel like all will be clear in due time. Regardless ima still a fan of dude.
Go home, write some shit, make it suspenseful, And don't come back until something dope hits you. Fuck it! You can take the mic home with you! No substance looking like a cyclone hit you!
He's nice, but c'mon shit was obvious that he was riding Nas's wave HARD!!! Not showing his pic and the subject matter x flow was intentional. If dude makes it past the scrutiny he may have a nice little career. Just not sure how he got signed to Mass Appeal sounding just like Nas who is a co-owner of Mass Appeal.
Everything has already been said, except this guy has 10x less substance than Nas. He's not actually saying anything. Not one poignant line in this ish. So to actually compare him to Nas is redundant, the levels are far too set apart. How ever this guy has the ability and mind to flow well.
So what has he actually said of substance? This is some smart-dumb shit. All he's done is find a complicated way to say "move away or I'll punch you". Is that really deserving of a Nas comparison? If so.. oh how the standards have fallen.
Your basing all that on a freestyle. Why do people take freestyles to be the second coming of Christ or try to compare it to a story telling track. Get that shit outta here. That's what a hip hop freestyle should should have , finding different ways to say shit you would say on the regular with no topic or subject being disscussed "Swimming in women like a lifeguard try to react nigga I strike hard" "Kidnap the presidents wife without a plan and hanging niggas like the klu klux klan" Those are lines from nas at the bbq and he's literally saying 2 things. He gets bitches and he's killing shit. Like what the fuck did you expect to hear from a freestyle son this isn't immortal technique where he raps about raping mothers and suicides from a 3rd person narrative. Stop finding irrelevant reasons to bring this guy down and make him seem wack when he's actually dropping decent bars.
Lol you're all up in your feelings defending a biter that you don't know. It's weird bruh. Stop riding so hard. I didn't call him whack but there's a big difference in "actually dropping decent bars" and Nas (or better than Nas, which is what many of the comments try to claim), is that really what you're settling for? Plus Nas is overrated and regularly spits trash lines. You just quoted two of them, well done.
Words Id expect from a uk kid ignorant on the roots of hip hop and learning everything he can about it from the net. Nas is goat regardless of a line he spat that you thought was wack. Your opinion isn't ultimate or factual. It's an opinion and it's in the minority where as nas being the goat is the majority. He literally killed the rap game in the 80s with those lines. And for you to call them WACK shows that we have far different views on hip hop. And I'm not the one riding , you are. You do see how hard you went when you responded to me correct? I was just replying in the most coherent form of a response. You on the other hand need to understand that some of the shit you comment , is perplexing. Stay in England kid.
although it's not his fault, he sounds too much like Nas. This has nothing to do with ethnicity by the way. History has told us, guys who sound too much like a legend don't last.
obsidyan2000 how isnt it his fault? his rhyme schemes,etc. are all nas cloned, only think he had no control over is his voice. nobody forced him to rap about Nas life lol.... Angelous did the same exact thing wit Jay Z
Jordan Fluent He is just more aggressive. That's like someone shouting when they argue vs someone just speaking their mind. The prior is ALWAYS resounding.
Game+Nas=Droog. This nigga a birth of legends
Nah he droog, nothing but Brooklyn in him bruh.
true that
Truth
That oral tradition punch line is dope
This dude is bringing REAL rap music back
"Ya gunna lose a limb and move to Jerusalem" lmao 🤌🤌🤌
I am all about this dude right now. Slid in end of year and destroyed 2014 for me. Droppin freestyles better than some of these dudes whole careers.
7 years later I hope you still listening, I just got into droog earlier this year, he entered my top 5 of all time
wow I really needed this visual evidence he does sound a lot like Nas.
Got tht Naz/ Wu- east coast feel, & got bars
Heavy! 🔥This man is more lyrical than the mass majority of rappers being pushed in mainstream media today. And that Nas influenced flow.. Very nostalgic and refreshing. He has potential..
Droog is just heating up. 🔥🔥
sounds like a mix with Nas and The Game
yo...he definitely lifted Nas' cadence but his wordplay is particular (Check his EP). He bends a lot of words, tells a lot of jokes and has heavier diction. The compounds he rhymes are different too. Nas should sign him to Mass Appeal. Fashawn, Boldy James and Droog would be a nice roster.
droog in russian is friend. so hes your old friend haha
droog or drug is friend in most slavic languages period.
These arguments are damn n3ar pointless and unnecessary. Clearly the guy can fuckin spit, clearly the mans got bars, clearly the man knows hip hop. How can you say he has "nas inspired lyrics" tf that even mean. You know how many people are inspired by other peoples work? Everyone has an inspiration, and everyone has a tint of someone behind their persona. Because thats what inspired them. Because he has the vocal tone and cadence of nas means hes biting him? Maybe more like hes captured the purest form of hiphop and delivers it how he thinks it should sound. Schoolboy q says he makes his music to resemble 50.

Truest shit I've seen so far.
I heard...u..word life
dudes lyrics are bananas
Dude is sick im Still bumping the EP, You Know What Time It Is will be in permenent roatation for sure
He won with that Hey Arnold line. "Oh Gawd" - big sean
St8 murdered that beat!!!
Your Old Droog is now on my list of top MCs. Peace yo
What ever way you slice it son can rhyme! It's close to impossible to sound as good as Nas. Not only is the voice & cadence the same but also the complex ways he formulates his lines. That's talent, fuck hate.
I said that too. I just hope that few yrs from now he develops his own uniqueness. Nas had the same criticism when he started rem? "...but look at me now.."
You spittin Droog!
Droog hurts a lot of feelings here
Flame!
Flames!!!! :)
i know right! lol
Keep Going Brother
Dope shit
Touchdown! See u on the 19th
Ok seen the other video of this dude and some heads were still claiming it's Nas being Lip synced SMH is anyone still one that conspiracy shit after this video tho or has this finally put that droog is nas shit rest tho?
Dude below said it. Hes signed to Mass Appeal. Which is co owned by Nas. Could be is was Nas who advised to hide his identity to get a buzz going .
Yoh I was about to comment saying what if he signs with Mass Appeal? He did?
I will be both hyped and confused considering his back story's connection to the GOAT.
Put him in the bet or sway cipher
This guy is dope. His EP is just a good hip hop EP, whether it's Nas or not doesn't matter if he's fucking sick.
FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Honestly when I heard him on DJ EFN I thoght he sounded a little like Game, just his vocal tone. But he is a monster, he gets busy.
On Point
droog is that dude
NICE!
does dude got any interviews up anywhere??
HERE’S JOHNNY!!!!!!!!
That's some NY shit right there, that's what's up.
Just imagine if Sean Price was still alive. These two brothers would've killed
Khaleel Alhalaseh they have a song together it’s called Hot Breath
Beat???
Mad Lion - Take It Easy (Instrumental)
Kind of sounds like DOOM when he released Operation Doomsday here.
ordering wings.....with my band on the run. fuck
This nigga goin off the top though!!! I'm sold on his skills!!!
cross between game and nas but he doesnt have nas flow at all...his flow is based on nas but nothing close to the original.
My dude, stop the bumbaclot talk bout dude sound like game. He from bklyn ny, no comparison. East coast influenced of course, but he sounds like Droog. You not from the east you wouldn't understand.
wtf r u talking about who not from the east gtfoh...kick rocks in ya socks!!
sick
killin all doubts...
Sounds kinda like The Game..
I was thinking the EXACT same thing...a white version of Game with wayyyyy better lyrics
what? clearly sounds like nas and has very nas inspired lyrics
Sounds waaaaay more NY than LA imo
sleuwi
Has Nas cadence and lyrics but the way he pronounces his "s"s sounds just like Game.
He actually sounds like Nems, not lyrical tho... thank god!
What instrumental was he rapping to?
he needs to tighten his flow to beats then he will be a force to rekon with...imo
Sorry guys but nas hasnt dropped a song as good as this little verse in over ten years. Nas dosent even have this shit in em no more.
Why?
Are u deaf? U know how action sounded like ghost, but the more u listen to him he doesnt anymore.. Same with droog.
Lol bro im telling u, listen to him more.. U just want something to hate on..
Yeah but the only difference is that this guy spits fire.. Fuck hits. His whole first tape is a hit mixtape.. So do u dislike em cus hes cocky?? Cus thats every rapper in history
Idk dude, hes still fairly new to the rap game and he got co signs from sway (respected hiphop radio personality) and he was on tour with dj premier. Hes already touring oversees. Your looking to deep into his personality, this isnt a presidential election; if he cocky than so be it..

Just like people who never got over the whole action/ghostface thing; there will be people who will never get over the whole droog/nas thing.. But thats fine.. I just dont see why u would let a dudes ego get in the way of u liking his music or not. Its good music regardless..
What's the instrumental ?
LAdonOfficial It's Take It Easy by Mad Lion.
hey look like game when he flow lol
It's definitely NaS
Too ill
what is that beat?
Take it easy by Mad Lion
like stoop kid i played the stoop
This dude is dope...*LIKE REAAAALLLLY DOPPPPEEE*
The only knock on him is the same knock people had for Nas when he came out.
Sounds too much like his idol.
Droog don't even listen to nas.
Alpha Shenron
There is a video of him addressing the comparisons and he says "..one thing me and Nas have in common...we are both Nasty.."

Jerry Lewis still hunting?
Woah, I really thought he was Nas for a while.
Looks like biting is the new shit, we already got a fake Ghost Face. LOL
***** WHO is the fake Ghostface?
MaxxSteel TheGOD He's talking about Action Bronson.
GPadre its called sarcasm. meaning i dont think bronson n ghost are alike LYRICALLY.
this dude however is a nas clone, down to the smallest details
kid is nice.
Kinda remind me of MC Serch
Go home, write some shit, make it suspenseful, And don't come back until something dope hits you. Fuck it! You can take the mic home with you! No substance looking like a cyclone hit you!
lose a limb and move to jerusalem???? the fuck????
But if it were Nas...
eclipse would not have him on if he was not dope period
He's nice, but c'mon shit was obvious that he was riding Nas's wave HARD!!! Not showing his pic and the subject matter x flow was intentional. If dude makes it past the scrutiny he may have a nice little career. Just not sure how he got signed to Mass Appeal sounding just like Nas who is a co-owner of Mass Appeal.
Everything has already been said, except this guy has 10x less substance than Nas. He's not actually saying anything. Not one poignant line in this ish.
So to actually compare him to Nas is redundant, the levels are far too set apart. How ever this guy has the ability and mind to flow well.
"Fall back before ya life implodes, I chin check more cowards than doctors feeling lymph nodes"
Do ya listen to music or just skim through it ?
So what has he actually said of substance? This is some smart-dumb shit.
All he's done is find a complicated way to say "move away or I'll punch you".
Is that really deserving of a Nas comparison?
If so.. oh how the standards have fallen.

Those are lines from nas at the bbq and he's literally saying 2 things. He gets bitches and he's killing shit. Like what the fuck did you expect to hear from a freestyle son this isn't immortal technique where he raps about raping mothers and suicides from a 3rd person narrative.

ill
I love hip hop.
Investigate 9-11
he outta breath tryna spit
I was amazed that this guy was YOD but a little disappointed because I thought Nas actually found a calling again.
although it's not his fault, he sounds too much like Nas. This has nothing to do with ethnicity by the way. History has told us, guys who sound too much like a legend don't last.
obsidyan2000 how isnt it his fault? his rhyme schemes,etc. are all nas cloned, only think he had no control over is his voice. nobody forced him to rap about Nas life lol.... Angelous did the same exact thing wit Jay Z
MF DOOM beat
first a fake ghost, then a fake nas. Is this the era we're in? We should expect a fake raekwon and noreaga next.
Dudes better than Nas
He is more Aggressive and can freestyle. I give him that. He just started though chill with that.
His wordplay is doper too. But I agree...It's all on what he puts out next
Jordan Fluent
He is just more aggressive. That's like someone shouting when they argue vs someone just speaking their mind. The prior is ALWAYS resounding.
Smack yourself.
Jordan Fluent i dont get how you come to the conclusion he is better than nas lol
I honestly don't hear it sorry dude just sounds like another new yorker he sounds typical
O Boy might sound like Nas, but lyrically he no where close to Nas' caliber... altho, he's decent with the lyrics
this sound like writtens, not freestyle
