It ain’t hard to tell, the day has finally arrived! XXL and Orisue clothing are proud to present Fashawn’s Ode to Illmatic mixtape for free download.
The disc, hosted by DJ Green Lantern, features the 2010 Freshman paying homage to Nas’s classic 1994 debut LP, Illmatic, by putting his spin on the album’s 10 instrumentals. With only one feature, from Brooklyn lyricist Talib Kweli, the Fresno MC is on a mission to showcase his pen game, and address the critics who compared the 21-year old artist to God’s Son.
“What I wanted to do with this was pay homage to the God, Nas Escobar, one of the greatest MCs of my generation, of our generation, and I want to pay homage to this album,” Fash prefaces on the tape intro, “Genesis.” “I just didn’t wanna bite it and rip it like it’s mine, I wanna pay homage, ’cause Illmatic was one of them kinda albums that really impacted my life in a big way so hopefully this does the same for you.” —XXL Staff

Just played the Illmatic album, now its Fash’s turn.
mature in the game before you try to pay homage to anyone,you have been compared to nas by your own people.not the hip hop world,only a fool would compare you two, your style is nothing alike your a backpack rapper that skates i believe.nas is from and for the streets!
They are both sick, get over it
Nigga shut the fuck up and enjoy the music, anyone can pay homage to something that influenced them, who said you have to be in the game for a long time to do so? ignorant ass hater, let the young boy pay his respect faggot. he never said he was the next Nas, just paying homage.
you tell them big nas
morgan free you a dumb mother fu***er for thinking fash is tryin to compare himself to Nas…. first off anybody that knows fash knows that he’s got his own style and his own swag. fu** you for being a hater…. if you listen(not hear), his work you would know that! you ignorant fu**! let me guess you must be from the eastcoast right? take yo ass out of hear wit that hater shit. get your shit straight before you make yourself look like an ass! ignorant fu**s like you come a dime a dozen. you must be a drake fan.
Really?. Cause im sure Nas came from a pretty stable family. Fash Grinded his way to the top almost alone. Only a fool would judge someone before they know anything about them.
Morgan Free your a fool. Fashawn is from the streets. Listen to his shit. Every young kid skates these days. Plus Green Lantern is NAS’ DJ so if he approved this im pretty sure Nas knows about it as gave it his blessings as well. Fashawn = the best new artist out right now.

fashawn is my favourite rapper fucking love the dude
scaty thing is on some tracks i think he did better than nas and no one else is gonna be able to admit it i.e. represent
