I worked out to this for the first time last night. Don't know why I didn't before, there's some inspiring stuff on there.

One thing that does bug me is Nas's verse on "Strong Will Continue"--and I'm a borderline Nas Stan--where he's whining about child support, alimony, and sleeping with football player's wives. That verse was so out of place.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Yes, a classic. Patience is one of the best songs in the last decade.

 

[Ziggiy]

Love this album to fukking death

 

[Anti-Anime]

Of course.

 

[Dat Migo]

Haven't played it in a while. Great album though

 

[god shamgod]

album is wakk

 

[Squirtle]

Patience is my favorite! A lot of truth was said on that song.

 

[Prae]

1. "As We Enter"
2. "Tribes at War" (featuring K'naan)
3. "Strong Will Continue"
4. "Leaders" (featuring Stephen Marley)
5. "Friends"
6. "Count Your Blessings"
7. "Dispear"
8. "Land of Promise" (featuring Dennis Brown)
9. "In His Own Words" (featuring Stephen Marley)
10. "Nah Mean"
11. "Patience"
12. "My Generation" (featuring Joss Stone & Lil Wayne)
13. "Africa Must Wake Up" (featuring K'naan)

Bolded tracks are what I listen through, then I end up skipping through all the rest
Sometimes I'll listen through Count Your Blessings too though.

And yea Patience is dope. I love the beat and overall vibe in Land of Promise.



I realize this wasn't on the album, but this is fire too.

Album is a fukking classic. Many ignorant negroes heard positive black messages and immediately became disinterested. Those who actually sat and listened to this would have been rewarded with a sonic masterpiece. Easily my favorite Hiphop/Reggae collaboration album.

 

[FlyRy]

not since the day it leaked.. you nas stans try so hard to keep this album remembered.. only on here do people remember it exists

 

[Ziggiy]

"I drink poison; then I vomit diamonds
I gave you Mandela, black Dalai Lamas
I gave you music; you enthused in my kindness
So how dare you reduce me to Donny Imus?
Timeless in case we ain't never been acquainted
Flyness--we made it; it gets duplicated
Mindless violence--well, let me try to paint it
Here's the five steps in hopes to explain it
One: it's me and my nation against the world
Two: and me and my clan against the nation
Three: and me and my fam' against the clan
Four: then me and my brother with no hesitation
Go against the fam' until they cave in
Five: now who's left in this deadly equation?
That's right: it's me against my brother
Then we point a Kalashnikov and kill one another "

K'Naan's verse on Tribes At War

 

[Ziggiy]

"They appeal to the conscious, the paramount
The Cesar, the monsters, the grandiose
The matters, the hell on earth pompous
Ellsworth Bumpy Johnsons, the Harlemites, the Garveyites
Black as the credit card we swipe, poppin' Dom tonight
For all of mine, I can see myself back at the Autobahn
Malcolm on the podium, shells drop to linoleum
Swipe those, place 'em on display at the Smithsonian
Next to only gems that were left behind by holy men
Infectious charisma of those who gave us direction
The anti-sexes, resistance against oppression
Progressive thinking, ghetto speakers
Protestors against the colored only section to the Jena 6 and
The Frost Nixon, the contradiction, the cross, the crucifixion
The loss we took for sinning on Esau's back inscription
That it was written that nothing is coincidence and
They took our leaders and they lynched them"


My personal favorite Nas verse of all time

you are obviously to dumb to comprehend the message. you probably listen to bullshyt like future or chief keef.....or that mentally challenged nikka with the dairy queen ice cream cone tattooed on his face.
