Nas discography The discography of Nas, an American rapper, consists of ten studio albums, three collaborative albums, three compilations, one extended play, and twenty-six singles. The son of jazz musician Olu Dara, Nas dropped out of school during ninth grade and began his music career in 1991 with a guest performance on the song "Live at the Barbeque" by Main Source. In 1992, Nas contributed the track "Halftime" to the soundtrack to the film "Zebrahead", and Nas was soon signed to Columbia Records and released his debut album "Illmatic" in 1994. Including Nas's solo debut track "Halftime", "Illmatic" was certified platinum in the US, spawned several singles including "It Ain't Hard to Tell" and "The World Is Yours", and earned much critical acclaim. With a more mainstream-oriented sound, Nas's second album "It Was Written" was released in 1996 and included the Lauryn Hill collaboration "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" and "Street Dreams", the latter of which reached number 22 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and number 1 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. "It Was Written" was certified quadruple platinum. In 1999, Nas released two albums: "I Am…" and "Nastradamus". While "I Am" reached double platinum status like its preceding album "It Was Written" and spawned two singles that reached the top ten spots of the Hot Rap Singles chart, "Hate Me Now" and "Nas Is Like", "Nastradamus" signaled a decrease in quality and critical reception and sold only half as many units. Still, "Nastradamus" featured two charting singles, "You Owe Me" and "Nastradamus".

Freestyle Friday Freestyle Friday was a segment on BET's popular show 106 & Park where two aspiring rappers compete in a freestyle battle before the studio audience and the cypher (from 2006) and three celebrity judges (the DJ sometimes acts as the 3rd judge). Each competitor alternates freestyling for 30 seconds in each of the two rounds (originally only 1 round when the segment first began). The rappers are not allowed to use profanities or sexually suggestive lyrics, punishable by disqualification (notable street-oriented rappers such as Reed Dollaz from Philadelphia and most recently Pop De Neero from North Trenton who have violated this rule, disqualifying themselves from otherwise-competitive battles). After the battle, the judges decide the winner, per majority vote. The rapper who wins each week wins a prize and returns the following Friday to defend their Champion title. After seven consecutive wins, however, the rapper is retired and inducted into the Freestyle Friday Hall of Fame, but if the Challenger card is picked by either two or three of the Judges, then the Champion automatically loses the Champion title.

Timbaland plagiarism controversy The 2007 dance-pop song "Do It" features elements plagiarized from "Acidjazzed Evening", a chiptune-style track composed by the Finnish demoscene artist Janne Suni. Timbaland, the song's producer, admitted to sampling Suni's work, but did not believe his usage constituted "stealing", calling the allegations "ridiculous". Although users had noted the similarities between the two tracks on Finnish demoscene forums in July 2006, the Timbaland plagiarism controversy attracted mainstream attention in January 2007, when internet users posted videos to YouTube alleging Timbaland had plagiarised Suni's work. Soon afterwards, the controversy attracted the attention of the Finnish news portal eDome, and the MTV and Rolling Stone websites, who all published articles detailing the events of the controversy.

Hurt Me Soul "Hurt Me Soul" is a song written by rapper Lupe Fiasco. The Needlz-produced track was released in September 2006 on his debut album "Food & Liquor". Before the opening verse, you can hear Lupe say "Astaghfirullah".In the opening verse, Lupe first acknowledges his own hypocritical tendencies during his younger years, and even more so the over-bearing presence of hypocrisy in the modern rap scene. Afterward, he makes reference to the fact that contemporary rap music is being flooded with the glorification or subliminal promotion of misogyny, drug-dealing, materialism and violence. However, this kind of rap music can be metaphorically viewed as the world in general, for these vices still continue to exist universally, even in societies where rap is absent. Despite his evidently strong opposition for such distasteful music, Lupe contradicts himself by questioning whether or not hip-hop should be criticized for such things. In doing so, he explains how rap legends such as 2Pac, Nas, Too Short, and Jay-Z (who are frequent sources for such glorification) rap about these subjects as they are in reality "coming true", despite the vulgarity of it all.

Gimme Some More “Gimme Some More” is the Grammy–nominated lead single American rapper Busta Rhymes released from his third solo album "." An example of hip-hop rap of the comedy rap type, it is often considered to be the very summit of Busta's complex, breathless, high-speed rhyming delivery most prominent in his early work. Written and composed entirely by Rhymes, who was credited using his real name of Trevor Smith, the selection was produced by regular Busta collaborator DJ Scratch. The violin riffs that accompany the main beat are sampled from the opening theme to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho," composed by Bernard Herrmann. In 2000, it was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards, but it lost to Eminem's "My Name Is." Rhymes first performed the song live with The Roots on "Saturday Night Live" with "Tear da Roof Off" on February 13, 1999.

Made You Look "Made You Look" is the first single from Nas' 2002 album, "God's Son". Built around several samples lifted from the Incredible Bongo Band's "Apache", the single was important in establishing Nas' direction following his battle with Jay-Z and the "Stillmatic" album in its reliance on intricate lyricism and an old-school aesthetic. The song reached much commercial success, on the level of "I Can", and it was a sizeable hit among urban audiences and remains one of the more popular tracks on the "God's Son" album. It is his third highest charting single to date.
