DJ Shadow - Drone Warfare feat. Nas, Pharoahe Monch [HQ Audio] 

Top ten lyricist hands down

Not In My Book Much Props Though

In my top 5 since Extinction Agenda

Facts

His rhymeschemes are impressive

This! Been waiting since StrayBullet & IGaveUPower, so that's like 25 yrs, damn hahaha

Thats right 🔥

Queens connect

Lmao facts at least I waited ever since Nas dropped “I Am” and Monch dropped “Internal Affairs” back in 99! For them to actually make a song together

Not mentioning trip hop legend🥺

Forgot Dj Shadow

What? Hes been around for decades. Hes a legend.

The collab I been asking for over a decade

ExtraP hand picking the beats and beatmakers, please and let Apollo Brown and OC catch sum wreck!

@@793rd That would be sooooo dope!!!

Drop Distant Relatives II while he’s at it.

My Top 5 Nas Pharoahe Monch Redman De La Soul Ice Cube

@@fairplayterrific147 Nice 5

@@carlostharealest5637 Respect

Same. I got into Monch a little bit ago and I only just started to dig deeper into his catalogue. I had to do a double take to see if I saw it right that both of them were on the same track

Futuristic rap? This is breakbeat af

Three....Shadow is a legend and he dropped his verse when those scratches kicked in

@@stanislavjati6517 youre right actually. i guess i meant the structure of the song.

@@stanislavjati6517 this is fast paced trip hop/turntablism/electro(starting 2:54) but this track is like Butterfly Caught by Massive Attack's or Dj Krush's Sanity Rain or Blackhole(which sounds as drum'n'bass but it was also trip hop)

@@stanislavjati6517 forgot Massive Attack and Mos Def I Against I

In track of legendary DJ

With nas and monch going back and forth

That WAS the 3rd verse, from Shadow!

The epitome of hip hop lyricism

Nas never fell off

wunas96 he lost a lot of consistency

@@wessidejoshh4091 u wrong

@busymike no, anyone who raps or knows about the making of rap knows this songs flow is close to the old nas stuff

busymike no you aren’t getting it, his old flow/ the way he rhymed had a specific consistency as well as rhyming specific things together then shifting it over to another rhyme. This is hard to explain in text but laid back beats does not change the fact his flow could’ve been way better on countless tracks And btw Lost Tapes II has illmatic like beats, BPM doesn’t matter because on some tracks in LTII he’s a bit inconsistent, the best track on LT 2 was You Mean the World to Me, and it’s a perfect example of flowing better because it basically has no drums, he’s rhyming the right words together to keep rhythm going

youve heard The Knock from Shadows UNKLE album right?

So Nas sounded like the White Boy?? FOH

@@JamesEarlBonez You gotta travel a strange path to find yourself on a Mass Appeal joint, dissin' El-Producto.

I went back to read the title because I thought they missed his credits.

Thought the same thing.

I can literaly hear him on this beat!

Not the first time Nas and the Shadow have done work together you know.

I wouldn't mind him spitting on thios track either...

Ant Francis His flow on this beat would’ve been legendary

Killah Priest too 😆

Oh well lol

All caps... MF DOOM

Yoooo

Yeah, he talks about similar subject matter on Strange Ways and kills it

Along with JayElec

What's up homie?

@@sportsfan120577 oh snap what up, been a minute since G+ demise lol

@@ricsmith5730 yes it has. How have you been?

@@sportsfan120577 I been good what about yourself

@@ricsmith5730 same just working enjoying football and basketball season.

MrOvadose101 Shadow and De La Rocha have worked together. Think the tracks are out there floating around somewhere.

He is my fav rapper to but I think he sell his soul

uuuuum! I get back to you on that... I can't think of anything off bat, but I feel that he did it at least once when he signed that 10 mill deal for 10 albums under Def Jam/ Jay Z... Let me hear it tho, what the heck?

@@JohnDoe-ru1md Nas never sign a 10 album deal with def jam / la Reid La Reid was the boss

@@joeljoseph9017 I really gotta do reference checks? Joel I got you after you please let me know when Esco was trading his soul... I'm interested?

@@JohnDoe-ru1md blowing greenery growing eagar to see evil things High smoking so much lye I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky Vision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire When I was 12 I went to hell for Jesus Went it's my time to go I'll for god with the fofo God's I didn't believe in none of that shit No religion my commanments is my standard
