Your Old Droog (Nas comparisons)

respect !

Im not crazy about rappers immitating/emulating/or having he same cadence as a legend
but if they get it right then for sure it makes for some good tunes.
as an artist its a big risk to even go there. And if you flop youre pretty much done for.

your old droog put out some good music...it reminds me of Nas back in the day.
today , sadly Nas isnt really saying much. I wonder if Droog has a friend that sounds like AZ :beer:

I like this Crazy guy. With all the 2pac conspiracies goin around. It makes me wonder
if Krazy worked on those unreleased 2pac tracks? guess im adding more gas to the fire

its one thing to sound like nas, but blatantly trying to flow like him puts me off this cat

I wonder what Nas would say? (he'd probably humble him same way he did J.Cole..lol)
Action Bronson & GFK seem to be cool about it.


To be honest I dont think he will get much or any attention

theres a guy in this rap rock group called hollywood undead and he kinda sounds like eminem...minus the bars !!
Im not a fan of thier music tho

Nas is absolutely aware of him and has spoken many times about him bc of constant speculation that this was Nas using a pseudonym. There were conspiracy theory-type blogs entries, youtube videos and manipulated audio trying to prove that it was Nas.

Contrary to your prediction, Your Old Droog has received a ton of attention, to the point where his "debut" concert following the buzz around his EP and loose singles was held at Webster Hall, was completely sold out and was covered by nearly all press, including the New York Times.

Do you know what Nas' thoughts are on this kid? Is he mad? Does he endorse him?

Glad to! You can (legally) download a good amount of Your Old Droog's stuff form his soundcloud page or through Audiomack. Most of his stuff is very enjoyable.

He has never given any feedback beyond that to my knowledge. I'm gonna take something back here though...I said Nas has spoken about him many times...that was inaccurate. There was one interview with MTV (link below) where he is exposed to the situation for the first time and then I recall seeing one other interview where he reaffirms it's not him.

I think some people were devastated to discover it wasn't him after they spent so much time trying to prove it was.

cheers mate:beer:

yea im sure those ppl were devistated
I wasn't devastated at all when i found out it wasn't NAS
i think i wouldve been if, my buddy told me it was some new nas stuff
instead of an old freestyle.

I dont think Nas cares right now...If Droog blows up and gets serious exposure
perhaps Nas would say something. You'd be surprised on how many people dont know about him.

I genuinely thought it was Nas and Nas might be the greatest rapper of all time, so clearly the kid is talented.

But at the same time it puts me off that hes such a biter or sounds so similar, I'll just listen to Nas.

This dude is on nas dick hard

while action is pretty sick and has different style

when I first started listen to action many years ago, the ghost face thing was there, now it's not.. now i've been listening to Droog a couple months i can pretty much differentiate between him and nas.

just be happy we got an up and coming dude that spit hard and seemingly always over dope production

also that 5 fingers of death droog did on sway in the morning was fire!
