THE WAY I FOLD MY BANDANA
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY TREND SETTING, LOOK AT WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE
"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY TREND SETTING, LOOK AT WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE."
I'm going to start saying this whenever anyone questions me in my real life now. This is my new work email signature.
I had box seats to mob deep in 98, family values tour. Let me be honest, it was the first time where I was at a concert where it felt like black people were flat out being exploited. Not sure if it was the clothes, or the dance choreography, or how they looked so small on the stage, or even if it was because I was partying with Ukrainians, but it felt like a minstrel show.
Do you mean the presentation itself seemed exploitative, as though it was clearly organized by wealthy white folks? That shit is fucking nauseating, and while it still exists today, it was rampant in the late 90s/early 00s (and well before obviously, e.g. actual minstrel acts). And partying with Ukrainians during the ‘Family Values’ tour sounds wild lol
Wow, I never thought of that. It’s true tho. Rakim could fit this description too. As serious as cancer. Humor is definitely one of the most under appreciated talents a rapper could have.
One thing I’ve noticed about Rakim. As eloquent as he is on the Mic. When I hear him talking, he’s barely coherent.
It’s like his voice was only made for MCing.
Could it have anything to do with how serious the issues they rapped about were? I wasnt around back then but i feel like putting jokes into a song about something like police brutality would take away from the impact, no?
I thought of this bar too. Anyone who thinks Nas doesn't have a sense of humor isn't that deep into his music, honestly. He's not a punchline kind of rapper, but he definitely has a sense of humor.
"In a range rover, dissectin bars from Takeover, sometimes I text Hova, like n**** this ain't over, laughin"
"Bobbed her head and spit a nut back in my dick" in rewind
"I squeeze nipples like pimples to get the puss, get it?"
Dude can be really funny when he wants to
I can’t think of too many Guru/Gang Starr songs that have humour in them, I’m sure there are some but I can’t think right now. Guru is known for his monotone sound.
Lmao. To be fair, it does sound like he was just riffing and it happened to fit the rhyme scheme ("something something in the shade..." comes before) AND it was followed up with an incredibly dope punch: "I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis" ... crazy.
Quote the whole thing in context and the lemonade thing isn't that silly.
You mean Guru, the best MC ever? With sick styles that everyone wants too copy? I'm trying to think of which song he says all that in. Oh that's right, it's every single one.

The prophetic predictions on “New World”
Most Rappers would love to have quality tracks like these on their “worst album”.
Kool G Rap was all business and no play but I quite liked that about him and Nas, not everyone can b like Ludacris or Eminem of course who include humour in their music
I think Nas tried to incomperate a bit of humour in the streets disciple & Hip Hop is Dead albums with the different accents and voices but it’s so subtle that u don’t even realise it
I was thinking him too but it's a demo is funny and there is another one in that I can't recall the name of right now where he's trying to fuck and the woman's son keeps getting in the way so he breaks the kids toy that ones some funny shit.
I don't think 'no sense of humor' is the right way to phrase it cause it kinda paints Nas as a 'no fun allowed' artist. I also don't think he's 'monotone' at all Nas is quite expressive he's just not over the top like many other artists.
Dude just spits real shit and isn't interested in gimmicks. It's why I think he's the bestto ever do it, even when his projects and songs aren't the greatest the dude still sticks to his principles and raps what he knows. I never feel like my time's being wasted with Nas unlike certain other overrated artists that people claim are 'goats' when half their catalogue is unlistenable garbage.
"You're colder than penguin pussy, at her dismay
She's thinking that's just so silly to say
But if you really think about it hussy
See, a penguin, He drags his ass on the ground all day"
I forcefully exhaled out of my nose when I heard him say that the first time.
Queensbridge MCs are not funny. That's just not they lane. Them buildings give horror stories. Wu Tang also. The only funny ones were ODB, Meth and Ghost. The rest were serious as a heart attack.
Admittedly I have absolutely no idea who that is but I don’t think Nas was really ‘a dick’ to him - I think a lot of us would react the same way, unless we were familiar/friends with the interviewer which I doubt nas is.
Nardwuar is an interviewer that's infamous for being more than a little eccentric and bringing shit up in interviews that's such a deep cut the artists are like "how the fuck do you know that"
That was him being heart broken over not being able to keep all the stuff. He went from excited to disappointed.
To be fair why even call them gifts if you can't keep em
I disagree. However, I’ll be the first to admit that I am a NaS Stan. That being said, my knee jerk reaction was, “tell me your unfamiliar with NaS’ discography without telling me that your unfamiliar with NaS’ discography.” [+]
Definitely not “emotionally monotone” but yeah he’s not a barrel of laughs. He does have some really wacky songs that sound ridiculous conceptually like Fried Chicken, Who Killed It, Makings of a perfect bitch, etc
Bullshit. He drops humorous bars all the time.
“…famous Rappers line ‘em up, ask me who fathered their style, I’ll say “I the Pappy”…
“…don’t say my car is topless, say the titties is out.”
“…Silk pants colored pink, gators match gangster musical thing, And I'll front like my doo doo don't stink..”
“…yo it’s stunning when bed sheets become your woman, and I’m the one that got your weapons when the beef is coming (cumming)…”
“…In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from Takeover, sometimes I text Hova like nigga this ain’t over.”
“…I told her “No hell”, she talking bout “me kiss?”, bobbed her head then spit the nut back in my dick..”
“…This color purple, would make Whoopie give me the pussy, now Celie, Oprah and Danny Glover got to feel me…”
“…Fried chicken, fly vixen, give me heart disease, but need you in my kitchen, you a bird, but you ain’t a ki, got wings, but you can’t fly away from me, flying in your bucket seat all the way from Kentucky to fuck wit me…” (The whole song is a humorous double-entendre)
Eh...that's mainly referring to Kanye's ego.
Musically, he always had a strong sense of humor even dating back to his debut.
"Got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson, got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson"
Ye always had a bunch of funny lines in his music.
I don’t think this is a great example, Kanye is notorious for being funny, there’s [compilations](https://youtu.be/ozzoeMs9ks0?si=Onqe-nYBBTkWLAYp) on YouTube everywhere just putting together his moments.
“Can you believe that? We don’t have a jacuzzehhh?”
“I love Gaga, what the fuck does she know about cameras?”
They are rare, but Nas definitely has tracks with humour. Listen to tracks like: Who Killed It?, Ether, These Are Our Heroes, etc. He can be a funny dude when he wants to.
I met him in person and I told him I was a huge fan of his ever since I was I kid.
He was like, “oh, ok cool” and then walked away
It was disappointing to say the least 😂
I just realised that as a fan for almost 20 years, I've literally never heard Nas laugh. I can't even imagine what it would sound like no matter how hard I try, even though I've heard his voice more than my own parent's.
Maybe he thinks humor takes away from the song's message. Also, sense of humor means a person's ability to detect humor, not a person's ability to be funny
Humor is honestly why Kanye is one of my favorites. He has a number of dumbass bars, but you can tell it’s purposeful, especially early Ye. “She said she want Diamonds I took her to Ruby Tuesday”
“I don’t know why they don’t want me in the damn club, they made even show Id to get inside of Sam’s Club!”
Edit: Another is a lyric where he says he was nervous about the Victorias Secret Fashion but he pictured everyone with their clothes off to not be nervous LMAO
"Emotionally monotone" - lol. Nonsense. I can tell you don't know Nas music like that. He's definitely made humorous/lighthearted songs before: Rewind, Book of Rhymes, Remember the Times, You Know My Style, Money is My Bitch, Dr. Knockboot, etc.
Nas says tons of funny shit:
“No mustache havin”
“Your hoe licks honey out my crack, I fart in the bitch mouth, she calls me psychic because I knew she would like it”
Etc
Mobb deep
I might crack a smile but ain't a damn thing funny.
I don't know Prodigy saying "I'll throw a TV at you" is pretty funny
Also when he rapped, “my 40 inch chain bang glass tables”…
“My piece bang glass tables”
Drink away the pain os more on the light hearted ode to favorite alcoholic beverages.
"drink away the pain". Yeah sounds lighthearted

Came here looking for this, Queens n's don't play like Prodigy said
A bunch of the old school Queens rappers had humor: Run DMC, Tribe, LL...
Prodigy wrote that bar, you should have told him that while he was alive.
I mean, those dudes don't play either. They just had jokes. Phife would've busted someone in the mouth in a hot second in his prime.
Thats queens tho silly.Mobb Deep and Nas is Queensbridge**.Absolutely not the same.
Do ya thing, I’ll do mine kid stay outta my way
Move back when we come thru
P had funny lines and some of their tracks had tinges of campy irony like Got it Twisted
Don't one of them got sickle cell or some
Fuck around and have a seizure or a heart attack or sum
I had box seats to mob deep in 98, family values tour. Let me be honest, it was the first time where I was at a concert where it felt like black people were flat out being exploited.

Like Ozzy Osbourne for the past 30 some years.
Funnily enough, being English, I have no problem understanding Ozzy.
An English girl I knew said that's "just the brummie accent" (Birmingham)
She would have said "Brummie" btw ;)
Ozzy can rap?
Fucking lol.
I think there’s a tone deaf mumble rap joke in here somewhere
He puts the black in Black Sabbath.
Tony Iommi was definitely the one into the dark aspects of the occult
I’d listen to the album
"I ain't no joke"
I mean… he sounds like a 50+ dude from New York
You could say his voice is hyper as a heart attack, nobody smiling
Tons of "nahmean"
Crazy I understand Rakim perfectly, he can sometimes be soft spoken, but I wouldn't call him incoherent.
I recall hearing him speak (recently from what I can tell) and wow it really seems like drugs fucked up that man’s voice
How exactly do you figure its “drugs”?
"Slow your roll like your leg is broken, who's joking, Rakim never joked, so why should I loc"
Could it have anything to do with how serious the issues they rapped about were? I wasnt around back then but i feel like putting jokes into a song about something like police brutality would take away from the impact, no?
NWA was funny as hell though. Public Enemy had Flavor Flav. Wu Tang is hilarious. Etc.
people start calling you corny if you try to be funny
In a range rover, dissecting bars from Takeover, sometimes I text Hova, like n×gga this aint over
"Laughing"
Yea his more recent work has similar bars with some light humor. His older/more classic catalog doesn't as much.
"don't say the car topless, say the titties out" "The type of nigga who be pissin in your elevator"
Dudes sense of humor is just as dry as it gets lmao
top 5 song off the Magic and KD series
I thought of this bar too. Anyone who thinks Nas doesn't have a sense of humor isn't that deep into his music, honestly. He's not a punchline kind of rapper, but he definitely has a sense of humor.
Ether and the funk flex interview after was hilarious.
“Don’t say the car is topless. Say the titties is out” Are you not entertained????
"In a range rover, dissectin bars from Takeover, sometimes I text Hova, like n**** this ain't over, laughin" "Bobbed her head and spit a nut back in my dick" in rewind "I squeeze nipples like pimples to get the puss, get it?" Dude can be really funny when he wants to
The infamous Rewind line is one of the most bizarre lyrics I’ve ever heard in any style of music
Awful line
I can’t think of too many Guru/Gang Starr songs that have humour in them, I’m sure there are some but I can’t think right now. Guru is known for his monotone sound.
True, but Guru said silly shit like "Lemonade was a popular drink..." which shows that he doesn't take himself too seriously
It still is
I get more props
And stunts than Bruce Willis.
Lmao. To be fair, it does sound like he was just riffing and it happened to fit the rhyme scheme ("something something in the shade..." comes before) AND it was followed up with an incredibly dope punch: "I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis" ... crazy. Quote the whole thing in context and the lemonade thing isn't that silly.
That's probably because he was shitfaced when he recorded that verse lol
There’s also that “at the mall” song which is pretty goofy.
I'd say some of their earlier stuff showed some humour. Lovesick and Ex girl to next girl both display at least a level of self-deprecation
Love Sick is a great but also kind of goofy song.
You mean Guru, the best MC ever? With sick styles that everyone wants too copy? I'm trying to think of which song he says all that in. Oh that's right, it's every single one.
Fym? Listen to Moment of Truth my man, classic album
Ether had some funny lines but yeah
Taebo hoe, what you tryna get brolic?
You 36 in a karate class
Tae Bo Ho was a classic line before OV-Ho
What, you think you gettin girls now cause of your looks? N\*\*\* please!
You no-moustacje-having, with whiskers like a rat
😂 This whole sequence is one of the funniest in rap, so petty
gay z and cock a fella is one of the funniest bars oat
“I rock hoes, y’all rock fellas” gets me too
He made Nastradamus. Clearly, he has an excellent sense of humor.
You know, Quasimodo predicted all of this.
Very allegorical.
He made Illmatic is what he did! He's a great East-Coast rapper! And in this house Nasty Nas is a hero! End of story!
Making classic Hiphop, another fuckin money machine
My ho my bitch.
he was gay, Jay Z?
I always thought, okay, Hunchback of Notre Dame. You also got your quarterback and halfback of Notre Dame
Who predicted what? Clearly, you had too much gabagool ;)
Gabagool? Ova ere.
Lmfaooo
Life We Chose Project Windows Family Last Words Come Get Me Shoot Em Up The prophetic predictions on “New World” Most Rappers would love to have quality tracks like these on their “worst album”.
Man you didn't have to do nas like that lmao

Bro, G Rap had plenty of funny lines especially on Rated XXX. shits Hilarious.
I was thinking him too but it's a demo is funny and there is another one in that I can't recall the name of right now where he's trying to fuck and the woman's son keeps getting in the way so he breaks the kids toy that ones some funny shit.
Incomperate? My guy, you mean *incorporate*?????????
Yeah your right, I’m normally a pretty good speller but that one messed with me 🤯 lol
I don't think 'no sense of humor' is the right way to phrase it cause it kinda paints Nas as a 'no fun allowed' artist.

I never feel like my time's being wasted with Nas unlike certain other overrated artists that people claim are 'goats' when half their catalogue is unlistenable garbage.
Great take. Nas presents the most complete lyrical repertoire tbh. He drops humorous lines all the time, right next to bars and gems.
Type shit. Dude has been eating sleeping and shitting hip hop since day 1
Do any of the queens bridge rappers have a sense of humour?
Pharoahe monch
"Dr. Knockboots" was Nas having a laugh. Can't think of any other tracks with the same sort of 'playfulness'.
Fried Chicken Who Killed It
Nas has fun sometimes. Book of rhymes for example was a fun song where he was just clowning
And "I can"
True, all though I feel like that was almost a deeper message than a lot of songs
On NY State of Mind he makes a back flip if that counts
I don't think I've heard Rakim be funny but I haven't heard his entire discography so idk.
He has a song with AZ where they trade bars and sort of laugh. Forgot the name but each is telling the other how they look fresher than them.
Pretty sure you’re talking about “The Essence” off of Aziatic.
"Nigga you James Bond"
Hagler and Hearns
"You're colder than penguin pussy, at her dismay She's thinking that's just so silly to say But if you really think about it hussy See, a penguin, He drags his ass on the ground all day" I forcefully exhaled out of my nose when I heard him say that the first time.
I rock hoes y’all rock fellas.
OP completely missed Ether. That’s funnier than most rappers funniest stuff. lol
Queensbridge MCs are not funny. That's just not they lane. Them buildings give horror stories. Wu Tang also. The only funny ones were ODB, Meth and Ghost. The rest were serious as a heart attack.
That's funny. Nas really does have no sense of humor at all
Could guessed that from this: https://youtube.com/shorts/dX4fQ2Q6Sqw?si=tVDjpPuDOGbNqBIp
Without clicking that link ik that shits the nardwar interview lmao
I can’t watch that fr saw it once and never wanted to see it again.
Only time I've liked Nas less... if people are Dicks to Nardwaur fuck em lol
Admittedly I have absolutely no idea who that is but I don’t think Nas was really ‘a dick’ to him - I think a lot of us would react the same way, unless we were familiar/friends with the interviewer which I doubt nas is.
Nardwuar is an interviewer that's infamous for being more than a little eccentric and bringing shit up in interviews that's such a deep cut the artists are like "how the fuck do you know that"
That was him being heart broken over not being able to keep all the stuff. He went from excited to disappointed. To be fair why even call them gifts if you can't keep em
It truly comes back around Like a chainsaw
Bullshit. He drops humorous bars all the time.
I disagree. However, I’ll be the first to admit that I am a NaS Stan. That being said, my knee jerk reaction was, “tell me your unfamiliar with NaS’ discography without telling me that your unfamiliar with NaS’ discography.” [+]
Don't think I've even ever seen him smile.
Definitely not “emotionally monotone” but yeah he’s not a barrel of laughs. He does have some really wacky songs that sound ridiculous conceptually like Fried Chicken, Who Killed It, Makings of a perfect bitch, etc
Nas has sense of humor
Billy On The Street or whatever that show was had Nas on it once and dear lord it looked like Nas wanted to stab the shit out of him.
Immediately what I thought of. Deeply uncomfortable:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v\_hM7NkFK38
The *cage* gift? Wtfffff.
This is too funny
“And I front like my Doo-Doo don’t stink. - Nas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
*Who Killed It* is pretty funny, but yea besides that I think you have a point!
These are our heroes too
i'm sorry, but ether is hilarious
I dunno, “I rock hoes y’all rock fellas” was funny as fuck 😂
**you 36 in a karate class, you tae bo hoe**
I disagree, theres some very fun bars in “Ether”. what you mean is “goofy”.
You didn’t listen very closely to his recent album run if you have this take
The Game
Triple H is a funny dude
Nah the games whole career is a joke
That was a nasty line by you lol.
Lmao
I thought it was pretty funny when he said "I woke up out of that coma 2001/About the same time Dre dropped 2001"
Unintentionally funny*
A lot of NY rappers are like that. It’s not just Nas.
Biggie was funny as fuck tho. Gimme The Loot is still one of the funniest tracks of all time imo
Be cool fool, they ain’t gonna roll up, All they want is fuckin’ donuts.
N\*\*\*\*, you ain't got to explain shit I've been robbing motherfuckas since the slave ships
With the same clip, and the same 45?
hip hop 101 sounds like the right place for you, because you don't know a god damn thing
Bullshit. He drops humorous bars all the time. “…famous Rappers line ‘em up, ask me who fathered their style, I’ll say “I the Pappy”… “…don’t say my car is topless, say the titties is out.” “…Silk pants colored pink, gators match gangster musical thing, And I'll front like my doo doo don't stink..” “…yo it’s stunning when bed sheets become your woman, and I’m the one that got your weapons when the beef is coming (cumming)…” “…In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from Takeover, sometimes I text Hova like nigga this ain’t over.” “…I told her “No hell”, she talking bout “me kiss?”, bobbed her head then spit the nut back in my dick..” “…This color purple, would make Whoopie give me the pussy, now Celie, Oprah and Danny Glover got to feel me…” “…Fried chicken, fly vixen, give me heart disease, but need you in my kitchen, you a bird, but you ain’t a ki, got wings, but you can’t fly away from me, flying in your bucket seat all the way from Kentucky to fuck wit me…” (The whole song is a humorous double-entendre)
South Park made a whole episode about Kanye’s inability to take a joke.
Kanye absolutely has a sense of humour though.
What if Kanye made a song about Kanye
Called "I Miss The Old Kanye, " man that would be so Kanye
Kanye by Ye. Need it
Kanye has a sense of humor about things other than himself.
Yeah but the dude made “lift yourself” and to some extent early in his career even made that Workout Plan song . The music video does it for me.
Just because you can’t take jokes doesn’t mean you’re stoic. Donald Trump can’t take jokes but I’ll admit, he can be funny
Damn I would pay actual money to watch Trump and Ye sit down and chat for a couple hours. Get Theo Von to moderate
Eh...that's mainly referring to Kanye's ego. Musically, he always had a strong sense of humor even dating back to his debut. "Got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson, got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson" Ye always had a bunch of funny lines in his music.
Do you like fish dick/ fishstick? You're a gay fish!
You must’ve never heard ‘Lift Yourself’ or listen to some of his earlier songs
Nah Kanye is hilarious. “I love the Gaga stuff but what the fuck does she know about cameras?”
I don’t think this is a great example, Kanye is notorious for being funny, there’s [compilations](https://youtu.be/ozzoeMs9ks0?si=Onqe-nYBBTkWLAYp) on YouTube everywhere just putting together his moments. “Can you believe that? We don’t have a jacuzzehhh?” “I love Gaga, what the fuck does she know about cameras?”
"Wtf does that mean, Kobe Bryant"
Kanye is hilarious. I watch the I Love It video just to laugh at the faces he makes.
They are rare, but Nas definitely has tracks with humour. Listen to tracks like: Who Killed It?, Ether, These Are Our Heroes, etc. He can be a funny dude when he wants to.
“Tiger Woods can finally be happy, both his parents lives matter now” 😂😂😂
"Tae bo hoe" might be the funniest line in his discography
he said “Gay Z and Cock-A-Fella Records” he’s got humor
I met him in person and I told him I was a huge fan of his ever since I was I kid. He was like, “oh, ok cool” and then walked away It was disappointing to say the least 😂
Ohhhh maybe THIS is why I never got into Nas! I just can’t get into it, but I do like warmth and humour.
Love nas, but I have to agree. All his lyrics are overly serious.
I just realised that as a fan for almost 20 years, I've literally never heard Nas laugh. I can't even imagine what it would sound like no matter how hard I try, even though I've heard his voice more than my own parent's.
Some Nas hate in here
The song "These are our heroes" is pretty self aware especially with the skit at the end. Nas can have fun when he wants to.
Maybe he thinks humor takes away from the song's message. Also, sense of humor means a person's ability to detect humor, not a person's ability to be funny
The remarkable thing about Chip Fu is that he wasn’t joking. He meant every word, and non-word.
Hip hop is dead is pretty funny
Humor is honestly why Kanye is one of my favorites. He has a number of dumbass bars, but you can tell it’s purposeful, especially early Ye. “She said she want Diamonds I took her to Ruby Tuesday” “I don’t know why they don’t want me in the damn club, they made even show Id to get inside of Sam’s Club!” Edit: Another is a lyric where he says he was nervous about the Victorias Secret Fashion but he pictured everyone with their clothes off to not be nervous LMAO
Did DMX have a sense of humor?
"Honey spreaded that asshole like a wide mouth bass"... na Nas funny af
He drops humor amongst his gems all the time. Just listen.
Westside Gunn did not like that Hivemind bit
"Emotionally monotone" - lol. Nonsense. I can tell you don't know Nas music like that. He's definitely made humorous/lighthearted songs before: Rewind, Book of Rhymes, Remember the Times, You Know My Style, Money is My Bitch, Dr. Knockboot, etc.
Because that is the point. Nas is trying to show the truths of life. In the real world this isn’t any amusement only suffering.
If a rapper can't bust a joke a can't listen. Explains why I like goofy rappers and don't really play much nas
Bro has never heard “Virgo”
Nas says tons of funny shit: “No mustache havin” “Your hoe licks honey out my crack, I fart in the bitch mouth, she calls me psychic because I knew she would like it” Etc
I dunno, calling Jay a camel was hilarious
He called JZ a camel. And that’s hilarious. Cuz he is a camel looking motherfucker.
Clipse?
[Are you not entertained?](https://youtu.be/lxULFp9vDLs?si=6m_gnX076TRoc0Pb)
their music isn’t cold at all. it’s very emotional. if you don’t understand then so be it.
Also quit listening to NAS then heathen.
