      Real talk nobody wants to hear the truth and that is what Nas is about so they fear him. Why would people talk about what they fear lol. No rapper is in his class lyrically plus he has the balls to say things that none of them could or think about so they would rather keep him suppressed

      So true. And people are not buying too. It went off the chart after the first week. So sad cos it is such a great album. I guess that's why he is shooting videos to promote it more. I want him to shoot the video for "It Never Ends" next. One of the dopest songs on the album.

      Lol Aaron9. I see you don’t know anything about me. Let me elaborate. Nas has been doin his thing as a hip hop leader I agree. But until recently say 10 years he’s been becoming more conscious rapper then ever ie his stuff with Damien Marley. His message has evolved with his age 46. His not the 20 year old gangster he’s confessed his religions and so on his sexual addiction and so on. That tells all of us his well matured and more of a boss now that’s why I say he’s a truer leader now not just in hip hop but I envision him being a black leader in society thats how his message has evolved and it’s not just because of this song but over the last decade or so

    Very refreshing to hear a song that actually has a message! This should have millions on top of millions of views. Goes to show there's not many of us with a conscious left

      We are extra terrestrials. Everyone reading this message who can innerstand it. Meaning we arent from up in the sky because that would be celestial. The terra plane is the earth plane. The true E.T. will always be the original which is exactly what Nas said in this song which is African. E.T. = Ethiopian. Meaning we are on a hill. Mount zion if you will. Heaven on earth. Above the earth plane. Vibrating at a higher consciousness then them who have the mark of the beast which is to think like a beast aka animal.

    If you're struggling to overstand why music like this isn't embraced like the bs that's more popular and resonates with the masses then research "negativity bias " and you'll discover that most of us are hardwired to gravitate towards the negative than positive.We're more inclined to watch and rewatch a fight video 20 times than we are to watch a Dr.John H.Clarke video.We'll listen to mumble rap 24/7 but can't name one Peter Tosh,Fela Kuti or Saul Williams album.We must reprogram our subconscious minds and escape the matrix.Peace!
