[FunkyFreshRhyme]

Song was dope.
I remember this video going around not long after it dropped though:
[ame=http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh42m31JQ9ubXKA0KU]Video: Polow Da Don Exposed Again? Some Guy Shows Stock Beats Polow Da Don Used For Nas's - Hero Song From Software called Native Instruments[/ame]

 

[Jone2three45]

It was a dope song and concept.

 

[Still Benefited]

Worst Nas single ever hands down,correct me if I'm wrong,shyt wuz embarrasing.....even him releasing the same single twice wuznt as embarrasing as "hero".

 

[Awesome Wells]

Polow is one of music's biggest frauds.

That video is just one thing that exposed dude. But Chase N. Cashe came out awhile ago speakin' on how Polow signed him and Hit-Boy awhile back to produce for him, but was usin' their tracks to sell to artists, but took all the credit for them. Then he took credit for Ayo's beat for Wayne's "John". Stole credit for Usher's "Lil Freak" too. Dude's wild.

But people in the know see this happenin' all the time in music. Just Blaze just spoke on this recently on Combat Jack. There's more producers gettin' raped than rappers.

There's a song on G-Unit's second album produced by Hit-Boy that has a Polow shout-out in it

I'm sure! I'm surprised Hit-Boy managed to even get his name on that joint. He must have had his lawyer watchin' over the sessions or some shyt. LOL!

 

[scorpino]

damn I had completely erased Hero from my memory bank...was that on the N1gger album? Horrible song

 

[Shammago]

Dope song. It never really took off tho

 

[Danie84]

It made me when I heard Nas still kicking substance on a obvious single-radio friendly track.

First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
But Newsweek article startled big wigs
They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul

that part always makes me stop what I'm doing and

Always wondered why Doug Morris named was censored and La Reids wasn't
