Visually stunning new music video for "Patience" by Nas & Damian Marley, directed by Nabil Elderkin.

CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH VIDEO Finally a visual drop from Distant Relatives , one of the most looked over releases of 2010 and one of the most important Hip-Hop crossovers in a decade. This video is DOPE, ignoring the parallels being drawn with Kanye's Power video, it's more in the vein of Fly Lo's MmmHmm or Bilal's Levels . Directed by Nabil. ~peacelove

Do you miss the days of over-the-top After Effects in hip-hop videos? Do you like smoke machines, burning torches and lions in your music videos? Are you nostalgic for absurd interpretations of iconography? Me neither, but there’s plenty of each to spare in the latest video from Nas and Damian Marley’s Distant Relatives collaboration. It must be strange as a performer to shoot something like that in front of a green screen and have no idea how it will turn out. In some seriousness, it’s great to see Amadou & Miriam - [...]

• Amadou & Mariam - Sabali
• Nas & Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Patience

I'm super excited about this video. This track is my favorite track off the duo's 2010 album,  Distant Relatives and features artists Amadou & Mariam. The track and video are really deep. Its a definite twist from what we've been seeing lately.

DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . Most people know the song from when it was featured in ENTOURAGE last season. It was like *Vince is passed out next to his porn star girlfriend, here's a huge back of coke - SABALI*. Definitely the best song from Nas & Damien's DISTANT RELATIVES. This video reminds me a lot of Kanye's clip for "Power." Pretty cool visuals. Vimeo > YouTube. be sure to download the track & check the Miike Snow remix [...]

DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . (A lot of) money well spent.

DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . Damian Marley & Nas are Distant Relatives well sort of... They formed the group with the intention on releasing an EP that would help bring attention to the on going problems in Africa, but lucky for us they decided to make it a full length album. This video is so sick check the imagery. Video Credits: Directed and shot by: NABIL.com Editor: Eric Greenburg Post/artwork: Gustavo [...]

Good things take time. So that explains why the video for 'Patience' by Nas & Damian Marley is dropping today, a good eight months after their solid LP Distant Relatives initially hit shelves and hard drives. For those that can't remember back eight months, 'Patience' is one of the better cuts from Distant Relatives - but it's even better when accompanied by what is a very slick video. Drected and shot by Nabil Elderkin (most famous for his work with Kanye West, amongst others), [...]

Some very expensive looking visuals for my favourite track off Nas & Jr Gong's colloration album from last year, Distant Relatives.

After the preliminary clip , TDK releases the full "Life On Record" segment with Nasir.

There's a handful of deleted scenes residing on TDK's Facebook page . Previously: 5 Questions About Mixtapes With TDK Chronicles & Gotty™

We all know Nas is a legendary piece of the Hip Hop world. I mean damn... illmatic is one of the dopest albums ever created in my opinion. So it's fitting that we actually hear the legend go in on the impact of the tape deck and how actual tapes played such a big part in Hip Hop and the movement from his perspective. It's funny hearing him talk about this because I can remember doing the same shit back in the day. Check out the video after the jump. Source: [...]

Let the annual Jay Electronica anticipation begin to boil anew as the wheels are officially in motion for the enigmatic emcee to hopefully put the rap world in a vice grip in 2011. During a recent set in Toronto, The Come Up Show caught up with the Mr. Electronica, discussing everything from the multiple projects he's currently working on to the therapeutic nature of crafting rhymes. The most interesting snippet occurs as he details working with Nas, mentioning that "Working with Nas is good. It's an honor and a privilege because it's somebody that you [...]

Big media publications are so quick to point out the negative stories that routinely plague the inner dwelings of Hip-Hop, even if they don't regularly cover the culture. So when it comes to broadcasting the diametrically opposite events like charitable and humaniterian missions, the majority of us aren't holding a collective breath for any type of reports. Which is alright, though. The purities of man generally aren't recognized nor do they need to be make a difference. It sounds cliché but it's what is inside that matters. Hip-Hop has a big heart and its not [...]

Before you write a single word in the comment section, please consider how myopic it is to trash my list unless you've checked every last track on here. I don't spend hours doing round-ups every year because I believe that I'm endowed with a divine ability to deliver definitive compendiums. I do it because I listen to 50 times more new music than 95 percent of hip-hop critics, and because I know that heads who still look for raw rap will appreciate the effort. You'll notice that more than a few of these YouYube clips have just a [...]

Sincere's back from Africa stealing laptops, robbing armored trucks and committing homicides? Well, on Hawaii 5-0 he is, making an appearance as a bumbling criminal. Nas was a second choice for the role. DMX was the natural and a first pick, but he's currently unavailable. Via DDot
