'Whenever frustrated I'ma hijack Delta'

[Keynez]

This thread is dedicated to the prophecy of Nasir Jones. Since we have one for 2Pac and one for The Notorious B.I.G, it's only right we look at arguably, the greatest Hip Hop poet of all time.

I'm going to drop some lines by Nas that foretold events, that ended up happening.....Street's Disciple.

 

[Raskazimi]

Interesting thread.

Can't think of anything off the top but I remember in the joint with Rakim he mentioned somethin about Saddams sons death.

 

[Pape]

acheni kuamini mambo ya kishirikina....

 

[_ BABA _]

acheni kuamini mambo ya kishirikina....

sasa hapo pana ushirikina gani mkuu....pls can u show us......

 

[Keynez]

I kinda forgot about this thread, but here we go. 'Hey', that's one, Nas on the joint with Alicia Keys and Rakim, 'Streets of New York' he said:

I'm like Saddam Hussein
Still alive lookin at his dead children's burnt remains

This song was released by Alicia Keys, and after about a week or so, Saddam sons were killed in an American raid earlier in the Iraq war. Alicia Keys was later interviewed about this and she too expressed her surprise to the coincidence. Remember, American forces were looking for Saddam Hussein more than anybody else at that time.

More coming up later. NaS fans, where u at?

 

[Keynez]

acheni kuamini mambo ya kishirikina....

Pape, we're just having fun.

Tukiendelea, kwenye mwimbo wa 'Rule' uliokuwa kwenye album ya 'Stillmatic' iliyotoka mwaka 2001, Nas alisema:

Look at what this country's got
There shouldn't be nobody homeless
How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone
To all colors increases, to home it belongs
I want land, mansions, banks and gold
The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control
The world's natural resources, all its residuals
But then comes foes, I have to gaurd it with missels
And I become the most wanted
But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service
I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels
So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo


Inawezekana Nas alitabiri kujiuzuru kwa General Colin Powell miaka 3 kabla, na hii ikiwa kabla hata ya Colin Powell hajaenda Umoja wa Mataifa 'kuuza' vita ya Iraq?

 

[Keynez]

Katika wimbo wa 'I Want To Talk To You' katika album ya 'I Am.....' iliyotoka mwaka 1999 Nas anasema:

What y'all waitin for the world to blow up
Before you hear this rewind this 4 minutes before we timeless
Let y'all niggaz bang my shit before Saddam hits
The Nastradamus tell us what time it is


Ok, what was that Saddam hit? Katika wimbo wa 'Nastradamus' uliokuwa katika album ya 'Nastradamus' iliyotoka miezi 7 baadaye mwaka 1999, Nas anarudia huo mstari (ironically) akisema:

I let y'all niggas bang my shit before Saddam hits
The Nastrodamus tell us what time it is

Ukiangalia video ya Nastradamus watu mbalimbali huko Queens, Harlem na Manhattan wanaonekana wanaangalia kwa mshangao kuelekea kwenye Twin Towers/World Trade Center. Unaweza ukaona hata kivuli cha ndege kinapita katika towers hizo. Inawezekana Nas alitabiri attack ya 9/11 miaka 2 kabla?

To be continued.............

 

[Bluray]

Hizo prophecy za 9/11 zinakuwa watered down na the fact kwamba WTC ilikuwa bombed 1993.

In fact cover ya album ya Jeru The Damaja inaonyesha WTC inaungua moto kabla ya 2001 lakini baada ya 1993. Album ilitoka 1994

ona chini hapa Nas alimshtukia Tiger Woods kama phoney long time kabla ya scandals zake

"These Are Our Heroes"

[Nas:] "This ain't for everybody. Y'all know who y'all are
Yeah you, y'all know who y'all are. These are our heroes."

[Chorus: Nas]
Let's hear it, one for the coons on UPN 9 and WB
Who 'Yes Massa' on TV, what ever happened to Wheezy? The Red Fox's?
Never got Emmy's but were real to me
Let's hear it, two for the spooks who do cartwheels
'Cause they said they played they parts well
Now they claim caviar, hate that oxtail
Lambda Sigma Phi badge on lapel
Whitey always tell him, "Ooh, he speak so well"
Are you the one we look to, the decent Negro?
The acceptable Negro -- hell nah
But they say, "These are our heroes"

[Verse 1: Nas]
Uh, Massa used to breed us to be bigger to go play
Athletes of today in the NBA, make me proud
But there's somethin' they don't say
Keep gettin' accused for abusin' White pussay
From OJ to Kobe, uh let's call him Tobe
First he played his life cool just like Michael
Now he rock ice too just like I do
Yo, you can't do better than that?
The hotel clerk who adjusts the bathroom mat?
Now you lose sponsorships that you thought had your back
Yeah, you beat the rap jiggaboo, fake nigga you
You turn around then you shit on Shaq
Who woulda knew, Mr. Goodie-Two-Shoes
He love a little butt crack, got enough cash
Little kids with they bus pass who look up to you
To do something for the youth, stupid spoof
But you let them use you as an example
They would rep, but our heroes got they hands full

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Nas]
You Homey The Clown, bowtie, apple pie, Bo Jangles
But we love Bo Jangles, we know what he came through
But what's your excuse, duke? You talk Black
but your album sound like you give your nuts for a plaque
You don't ride for the facts like um, say Scarface
You don't know what you feel, y'all too safe
Election done came and went, y'all worked so hard for it
Huh, and in the end we all got dicked
These are our heroes, thanks a lot public school systems still rot
Still harassed by cops, snitches on blocks
Sellin they peoples out - some real folks with clout
Tavis Smiley, Michael Eric Dyson
Stokely Carmichael, let's try to be like them
Nicky Giovanni poetical black female
Jim Brown to the people who sing well from
Fela to Miriam Makeba
The mirror says you are the next American leader
So don't be, acceptin new 'We are the World' records
These pickaninnies get with anything to sell records
Cause it's trendy to be the conscious MC
But next year, who knows what we'll see?
Ha-Ha, these are our heroes

[Chorus]

[Nas:] "Yeah, I wanna give a special shoutout to the -- y'know
the crew doin' they thing out there reppin' us hard
Big up to Tiger Woods. Yeah, ya don't stop. Big up
to Cuba Gooding Jr. Y'know, yeah, y'know. Tay Diggs
what up my nigga. Yeah, ha-ha. And you don't quit
and ya don't quit, and ya don't stop and ya don't quit."

[Male Heckler:] "Yeah-Yeah, what you doin' for the hood though
homie? What you doin' for the hood, man? Look at
all that paper. Drivin' around like a playboy in
my hood. What type of shit is that?"

[overlapping dialogue]

[Nas:] "I'm outta here. Please, excuse me, 'xcuse me -- please
Let me get to my limousine, I'm outta here. I know, I
got a plane to catch. And I love you back. Ha-Ha
yeah yeah -- And I'm outta here. A-ha-ha -- PEACE."

[Thug Heckler:] "Come on nigga, give back to the hood. Cocky
motherfucker!"

 

[Keynez]

Ok Bluray, that's another one, nikiweka nyongeza tu, vilevile kwenye Stillmatic mwimbo wa 'What Goes Around', Nas anasema:

Light-skinned women, bi-racial hateful toward themselves
Denyin even they blood
I don't judge Tiger Woods but I, overstand the mental poison
That's even worser than drugs - yo it's poison

 

[Keynez]

Kuhusu 9/11, naweza kukubali kwamba hiyo cover ya JTD na video ya Nas zinaweza kuwa zinaexpress utabiri mmoja, lakini siwezi kudismiss umuhimu wake kwa sababu ya 1993, kumbuka 1993 was a truck bomb not a plane.

Nikiweka nyongeza nyingine kuhusu 9/11, kwenye track ya 'Sometimes I Wonder' iliyorekodiwa around 1999, Nas anasema:

Top of the world is what I'm aiming at
These niggaz is flaming gats at my circle
I catch you, my first reaction is to hurt you
I hit your bird too, two in your scalp then you out
Your thug crew is out, blood oozing out
Some serving caine
Knowing nothing about this murder game
Its easily told but hard to hear
When niggaz finally find out its real
Thats when they heart pumps fear
The real remains the weak will disappear
My words is 20/20, my vocals are crystal clear
911 style sits on your mind like chrome
Lets say your brains is V12, put it in drive let it roam
What color? Might as well make it same as your dome
You need your thoughts together, that means destination is unknown
As we travel on this road, an infinite path, I get into this math
Drop and get intense for this cash
Will I be subject to kill, live my life by a gat
Just when I think I made it out, the street is calling me back


911 gani alikuwa anaiongelea? Just something to think about, nothing serious.

To be continued.....

 

[Keynez]

Tukiendelea, katika track ya 'Too Hot' aliyoshirikiana na 50 Cent iliyorekodiwa mwaka 1998/1999, Nas anasema:

When I rap don't wait to clap applaud sooner
Unless you hate a nigga like George Bush Jr., I bring awkward to you


Kama sikosei, wakati huo George Bush alikuwa tu ni Governor wa Texas, ilikuwaje Nas akatoa reference ya GWB wakati huo. Rappers rarely make references to Governors however controversial they are. Je Nas alikuwa anatabiri kuchukiwa kwa Bush kabla hata hajawa Rais wa Marekani?

To be continued.....

 

[Keynez]

Ok, this one is mostly for fun.

Katika track ya 'The World Is Yours' katika album ya Illmatic, Nas anasema:

I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me


Hapa kulikuwa na play of words, kwa wale waelewa wa mashairi watanielewa. msitari wa mwisho alikuwa anaongelea pesa, lakini aliposema 'I'm out for presidents to represent me' na watu kwenye background wanauliza 'say what?', was it a reference to politics, like, man no president give a damn about us, get your ish together, na yeye anaswitch, like ok, let me talk about money then? Isn't it also ironic kwamba Nas and Jay-Z walipatana na kufanya series of performances pamoja ya wimbo wa 'Dead Presidents' uliosample hiyo line, wakati Obama amejitokeza kurun for president? Is it a coincidence kwamba siku walipopatana kule New Jersey, background ya stage ilikuwa inafanana na stage aliyotumia Obama kwenye inauguration? Is my mind just playing tricks on me, lol?

Kuwasaidia, naongelea hii.....

Katika picha ya pili inaonekana wanapeana freemason handshake. Na concert ilikuwa inaitwaje 'I Declare War'? Na Jay-Z alikuwa anajiitaje wakati huo, El Presidente?

To be continued......

 

[Keynez]

Here we go again....

Katika track ya 'Grand Finale' Nas aliyoshirikiana na Method Man, DMX na Ja Rule, track iliyokuwa kwenye soundtrack ya movie 'Belly' iliyotoka mwaka 1998, nitaweka baadhi ya mambo waliyosema.

DMX anaanza kwa kusema:

I ain't goin back to jail
Next time, the County or the State see me
it's gonna be in a bag

Baadaye Method Man anakuja na kusema (I love that Method Man verse by the way):

Watch them young guns that take none, nobody safe
from the Friday the 13th, ghetto Jason
Itchy trigger finger achin, snatch yo' ass
out that S-Class for fakin, forty-fo' blast
is a bloodbath, take your first step down a thug path
Ain't no love here, just slugs here
Kids know the half you get plugged here, that's just impossible
for the weak to last now behold the unstoppable
Third eye watchin you, watchin me
Throwin rocks from the penalty box, cop a plea
Young G we was born to die, don't cry for me
Just keep the heat closely and ride for me
Cause we family for better or worse, you and I
from the dirt, you snatch purse, so hard it hurt
to be here, and each year, I'm pourin out more beer
for deceased peers, holdin fort
Police line 'Do Not Cross', they found his corpse
in the loft with the head cut off, and butt naked
Homicide the crime Method, add another
killer verse to the murder record, the Grand Finale


baadaye Nas anakuja na kusema:

Hot corners, cops with warrants, every block is boring
Friday night......


Now, kulikuwa na version nyingine ya 'Grand Finale' iliyomshirikisha Nas, Lil Jon, T.I, Jadakiss, Bun B na Mr Friday himself, Ice Cube iliyotoka mwaka 2004.

Part of Ice Cube's verse has this line....'Niggaz get out and vanish like Star Treks', mnaona consistency hapo?


Nitaishia hapo, lakini naweza kusema kila mwaka kuna average ya Ijumaa 3 au 4 zinazoangukia tarehe 13, mwaka jana moja ya Ijumaa hizo kulikuwa na jail break (hakikisha ume-google kupata picha ninachoongea). Was it just another coincidence, au ilikuwa tu a bunch of rappers talking nonsense on a record while getting high......I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Haley got blazed before they told stories (nikimquote Nas tena)? Labda haikuwa that Friday of last year, maybe it's next friday the 13th, or friday after next, the 13th.....we'll see.


To be continued...........

 

[Keynez]

And we don't stop...........


Nas katika track ya 'Get Down' iliyokuwa kwenye album ya God's Son iliyotoka mwaka 2002, anasema:

The D.A. who tried him was lyin
A white dude, killed his mother durin the case
Hung jury, now the D.A. is bein replaced
Pre-trial hearin is over, it's real for the soldier
Walks in the courtroom, the look in his eyes is wild
Triple-homicide, I sit in the back aisle
I wanna crack a smile when I see him
Throw up a fist for black power, cause all we want is his freedom
He grabbed a court officer's gun and started squeezin
Then he grabbed the judge, screams out -- nobody leavin everybody

"Get down, get down! Get down, get down!"


Kuna tukio lililotokea Atlanta mwaka 2005, wakati jamaa mmoja alipokuwa anakuwa retried baada ya trial ya kwanza kuishia kwa hung jury, very similar to what Nas depicted almost 3 years earlier. Je unadhani Nas alitabiri tukio hilo la Atlanta (ironically, yalipo makazi yake) kwa usahihi mkubwa kiasi hicho au ni coincidence tu?

Story ya tukio hilo la Atlanta hii hapa....

[Keynez]

This is another surprise of your life.....

Nas katika wimbo wa 'The Message' iliyokuwa katika album ya 'It Was Written' iliyotoka July 1996 anamdiss Jay-Z kwa kusema:

Antera spinnin on Milleniums, twenty G bets I'm winnin them
Threats I'm sendin them, Lex with TV sets the minimum

Ok, those lines are common knowledge for any hip hop fan who has been paying attention to 90's hip hop kwa sababu Jay-Z kwenye video ya 'Dead Presidents' alikuwa anatumia 1996 Lexus iliyokuwa na TV screen halafu mwisho wa video a group of them including Jay-Z, Biggie na AZ wanaonekana waki-gamble.

Lakini angalia hii.......ukiangalia video ya 'Dead Presidents' kuna mtaa hapo utaona poster kubwa imeandikwa 'STING'. Nas katika track hiyo ya juu alisample wimbo wa 'Shape of My Heart', guess nani aliimba huo wimbo.....STING! What's going on here?

Coming Up......It's Deeper Than Rap!

 

[Keynez]

Katika movie ya 'Executive Decision' ikiwa na Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, Steven Seagal, and John Leguizamo iliyotoka mwaka 1996, terrorists wanateka ndege na wakati wanaelekea katika anga la marekani, wana nia ya kuitumia ndege hiyo kama silaha. Rais wa Marekani anapata wakati mgumu wa kuamua kama aitungue (na kwa hiyo kuua raia wema) au awaache terrorist wafanye wanachotaka......situation very similar na 9/11.

Nas katika track inayoenda kwa jina hilo hilo ya 'Executive Decisions' iliyotoka kwa kushirikiana na group la 'The Firm' mwaka huo huo, anasema:

Push the Range all year, vision a war near
I lay it out for y'all, its money and ice

Isn't it interesting?

Mkuu hiyo background walikopi Oval Office wakati huo Jay Z alikuwa president wa Def Jam akawa anajiita President Carter, unakumbuka cover ya XXL Mag iliyokuwa na Jay Z, Kanye West, Foxy Brown na Lebron James?
