7 years and less than half a million views on each song from the album. This is one of the greatest albums front to back, it is sad that many people have not heard any of it
This entire album is awesome! I nearly stopped sifting through the dregs of hip hop when I stumbled across this. I am so glad that I did. It has everything that defines great hip hop: a point, sharp lyrics, great production, and even the hook is on point. All of this without one reference to champagne, cars, or hos. Who knew that was even possible?
whoever disliked this video is ignorant and dosent understand what music is. this album is pure genious and damian is making a very good example of what his father was....a genious and a great musician. as for nas hes still to me one of the greatest rappers of all time.
this is a powerfull crossover album,nas gettin a pure message 2hiphop people,an j.tuff gong doin his concsious ting..nuttin like dis been made 4long time....bless up
This is the only album 1 of a kind i know off.....best i know off..too poetic..too deep..n illuminating...blessed! Wtf..can't believe..someone just disliked it.......
"Your real friends will serve you long Your memories might fade Your real friends will serve you long Sunshine or rain, eh Your real friends will serve you long, woe ya woe When all else fails Your real friends wont do you wrong Real friend don't change" damnn such powerful philosophy , like father like son and nas did this as well
I remember that i had just moved and i went to this new school. I had made lots of "friends" . I discovered this album and espically this song and got rid of th phonies
@NastyNasRules I just bought this disk earlier this week and by far one of the best albums to come out this year. Only reason I got it now just by chance I found it at my local recored shop. I know Nas was featured on Road to Zion (one of my all time Favs) but I did not know they had made a full disk untill it was in my hand and paid for at the cashier. PS This one Metal head who pressed the like button.
If you are not a Nas fan, why even bother listening to this album? Production wise, D. Marley just slaughters every track, but lyrically, this album belongs to Nas. Don't get me wrong, they go toe to toe on some tracks, but Nas just owns each one. I'm not a rider, I'm a realist.
this wasnt even promoted... no frequent radio or video play, i dont even know when it dropped. but i will definitly go out and cop it asap.... and this is like Damiens' shinning moment and Nas rebirth......
this world is messed up we need money to survive ... and also money can be the root of all evil but fortunately is how you make spend and use your money.. "if you give a man a fish it will last a day but if you give a man a fishing rod it will last a life time"
@dis7able i love how nas brings this verse back after all those years.. i support albums like this.. this is the album you go and buy.. fk* itunes go buy the cd in the actual store or the record at a record store.. shit if you want go buy the fkn* tape.. they still sell tapes in some places..

real friends don't change....for some reason that really touched me
Real friends don't celebrate with you only when you're high on top of the mountain, but mourn and suffer with you when you're at the bottom of pit.
love this song!!!!!!!

Nas:' Templar love for my friends who are solomn' - So clever and powerful

5 people dislike this? WHY? omg... this is a good song. i swear it is!
9 people never had a friend in their life.
that being said, Distant Relatives is in my top 5 albums list
True story masterpiece
Africans represent....!!
The beginning "sounds" a bit like Congolese musique. ♪♫♥ nice song!
Nowadays everyone can call themselves artists and musician, they both deserve it though.
@kaospider5 indeed. glad you found these words.
@pnagbe 'Nas done it again??' Damian produced most of this record. They did it TOGETHER.
your real friends wont do you wrong your real friends dont change
