Nas - Silent Murder Lyrics

I just recently brought the vinyl and this song is on it but not the Apple Music version.

It’s not even on Spotify 😡

another BANGER!! this whole album jam packed with serious tunes...his ability to flawlessly tell a story with absolute ease is poetically beautiful...after all the name NAS translates to STORYTELLER...FACT...look dat up son...it's arabic

Who here in 2020!!! This is true hip hop Nas need to get back to being Esco this is when he was the dopest hands down!!!!

"And Cain killed his brother Abel when God accepted Abel's
Offering and not his.
Abel's offering showed that Cain was not giving his best to God,
And Cain's jealous anger drove him to murder
Drove him to murder"

SALLAD SALLAD SALLAD MURDAH!

Songs like this makes me wonder why the f*** everybody doesn't think Nas is number one

I hit blunts hard like ray mercer!🥊👊

Who is ray mercer

@Joel Joseph Ray Mercer is a retired American professional boxer, kickboxer, and mixed martial artist who competed from 1989 to 2009. Best known for his boxing career, Mercer won a heavyweight gold medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics as an amateur, and later held the WBO heavyweight title from 1991 to 1992 as a professional. As a mixed martial artist, he scored a notable first-round knockout win over former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia in 2009.

@Rod Smith thanks man Nas is ill

20 years later and im still pissed this beautiful gem didnt make the CD album version

Salute the sample the group soul 2soul "Get a life" n Nas sampled n silent murder this whole track

Salad salad....murder

Salad murder

Roll up a joint and chill . Peace love and hip hop ✌🏽 ☮️ 🎶

Lol on the corner when Illmatic dropped I was yelling on niggas that Nas was the best MC out but when this dropped, It was Written niggas didn't wanna argue n they couldn't argue against this record.

2:04 Sounds like Cum on everybody by Eminem Ik this song came out in 1996 and Cum on Everybody came out in 1999

Nah this was on the CD, you had to let the last track play for like 32 minutes after it finished then it came on. Was like a secret song. That's in Australia anyway. 👌🏽

Closed my eyes (high as a muthfukka) and visualized every word ; 1996 QB shit 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

🤔I must have breezed right past this

He was Able to, though?

I need a large bowl of snow flakes after this one

Just listen to that rhyme pattern, flow and depth of the lyrics. Three whole minutes of the previous verse building onto the next and the depth of it all is so consistent. In what universe do Jay Z and Eminem fans think those two can match Nas lyric for lyric, flow for flow, meaning for meaning?

how the fuck did i get here
no lust for ill sweat gear, still tilt head wear
rap an stack bread here
the world is the object no lyrical non sense
only fools get rich filling shoes in their
closets, twisted logic, in single parent homes
wit no deposits, they listen to these kids face tatts
an mad gossip, the worlds a tabloid, inhabited vast void
im the last boy who shot threw the stars like an astroid

Rule number 1, if you arrested and hung. where niggas is from, you gotta keep a lid on your tongue.

someone actually bought saladmurder.com

It was on the European Version of the album, one of the best tracks on it was written. Get on down brings a 2 LP reissues by the end of September but silent murder won't be on there

Seelenbad just got mine and silent murder is on it

@ACE330 that's great news, that Track is fire, thanks for the info I am going to get this one ;)

Fuck what they teach in class im a reach th mass"!!!

God🙏🙏

Nas was better than pac everybody liked pac because they on ware fare he nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ophAehruA&list=UUyoPFNDikR1lJoT8c6zidUg&index=21

Who????

To smoke a nigga like a hughs brother motion picture, niggas gettin open crews ropin older niggaz..

This is what lyrical silk sounds like. NAS IS THE GOAT !!!!!

Lesson number one if you’re arrested and hung where niggas is from gotta keep a lid on your tongue.

Dopest song that wasn't on the CD

Nasty a bad mf!

It's sort of like the conclusion to Color Purple
Niggas is losing, confusion, with one time on pursuit moves in
Grabbing niggas up in this movement to rule shit
Cop versus the block, shorties is schooled quick
Lesson number one. If you're arrested and hung
Where niggas is from gotta keep a lid on your tongue
It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer
The violent words of a prince in a palace of Persia
The cognac plurger plus the trees
But who's the foul one to make his nose take a freeze?
And got enough gall to rock ice in all hype
Used to be a general but just lost his stripe
Pipe dreams and white fiends and all-nighters
Collect calls from lifers, Astoria wars with Cypress
Since I got a problem with the law-writers
I kick some more items just to explore horizons
The palm lady dreamt of this day so I'ma play
The crib close smokin' with the big toast and lay

[Chorus]
{*whispered*}
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder

[Verse 2]
They say the arms of Nicky Barnes would be enough to blast
A lot of rich niggas fell and started pumping gas
Was it the mind of CIA that bumped off Malik Shabazz?
Fuck what they teach in class I'ma reach the mass
Strap up, no back up, it's jungle tactics
Living practice, out of line niggas get smacked backwards
So wear it if the cap fits, folded up money and mad clips
A stack right under my mattress
To smoke a nigga like a Hughes Brothers motion picture
Niggas getting open crews, roping older niggas
April fools they laugh the jokes on the benches
Seeds outside, my nigga spoke on his sentence

[Chorus]
{*whispered*}
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder

[Verse 3]
My right-handers never play too close to cameras
It's night time, scandalous, circle the loud gamblers
Peace making niggas pep talk
The Beast making niggas walk off the hot avenues with they brew
Time to get this loot countless, 'cause son it ain't no youth fountains
Niggas take cash and shoot, bounce and Pakistanians are took hostage
Locked up inside a linen closet known for spending pies up
What's the flavor when your neighbors do jake favors?
Lock the real niggas down and letting fake players
Roam around the projects, it's lyrical logic
I dilute, the weak can inject the right composite
When plotting on murderous schemes
It seems I'm ghostly called by the essence of Queens
The palm lady dreamt of this day, so I'ma play
The crib close smokin' with the big toast and lay

I’m like I never heard this. I got the cd this shit was prolly ill back in the days tho. But ima listen since it’s nas..

It was a bonus joint on the tape...

Fantastic

If you got it was written on tape Congratulations you got this track

This track is on tape only

Very underrated track

CLASSIC album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Then Cain killed his brother Able...when God excepted Ables offering and not his Cains jealous envy drove him to murder...

It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer, the violent words of a prince in the palace of Persia. Such smooth flows and bars

23 years later still🔥🔥🔥

This my kid classic rite here. Brings me back to high school days

IM ABOUT TO FUCK THIS SALAD UP (SALAD SALAD SALAD Murder)

It's sort of like the conclusion to Color Purple
Niggas is losing, confusion, with one time on pursuit moves in
Grabbing niggas up in this movement to rule shit
Cop versus the block, shorties is schooled quick
Lesson number one. If you're arrested and hung
Where niggas is from gotta keep a lid on your tongue
It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer
The violent words of a prince in a palace of Persia

Fuck what they teach in class I'ma reach the mass
Strap up, no back up, it's jungle tactics
Living practice, out of line niggas get smacked backwards
So wear it if the cap fits
Folded up money and mad clips

You know how the song is so good that you want to cry how good this shit is.

How did live squad make the drum loops bang?

this reminds me of "48 hours"...the druns

Nas has been spitting gems for over 20 years . I met him two years ago and I tell you what, he’s exactly how I expected him to be chill as fuck . The 🐐!!!!!! Queens stand up

2pac aint neva rhymed like this....

why isnt this shit at spotify

How the hell is this song not on the CD? Maybe because back in 96 kids all had Walkmans no one had a CD player, they skipped and couldn't carry them around without a case cuz CDs were expensive and don't wanna mess it up. That's why this song never made it to the CD.

Best line ever, in my opinion..,, sorta like the conclusion to color purple.... sickest shit ever. And it’s a song full of gems

This song reminds me of Star Wars

thankyou youtube.

Cuz son, it ain’t no youth fountains... this cat is a beast... at least was... anything after this album was straight trash... and I put that on everything. On chief Malik and on the dark side 26,,, both my squads,, and both would whip my ass for putting anything on them. Lmao...

Outta line niggas get smacked backwards

His best song... better then anything on illmatic... his masterpiece

A lotta of rich niggas fell and started pumping gas

The bonus track that put u in a trance. Fire!!!!!!! Propz Given! ! ! ! !

Still bumping this classic shit. This shit is real and understandable.

"It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer, the violent words of a prince in the Palace of Persia" GOAT

Merciless Ray Mercer!!!
Good boxer!✊🏽

Michael Elliott good video game reference

@Eddie Simmons that game wasnt even a thing at the time. Well the ubisoft 3d version anyways, think that was released in 2003-2004

Xii Nomadia it came from 1989 https://www.google.com/search?q=first+prince+of+persia+game&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

It was written was a classic nas album the hole album is still strong street music.

Classic

Is there a way to buy this song on I tunes?

This bringing me back to the days of S.o.u.l Mixtapes Nostalgic for sure .. like I heard it First ... Dj Clue ( Echos) ah ha

He must got some secrets that's best

Yo I’d appreciate some constructive criticism on my rap if u got the time, thanks

The best rapper if you like no talent garbage

Hallo Schätzelein

Don't forget Kid Wave is the architect of all this shit!

Big Stretch

*whispers*





Salad, salad murdaaa

I heard that nas freestyled Illmatic and then went back and wrote down his lyrics. Nasty! Regardless, top 5. No question

Most slept on track 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Soul II Soul - Get A Life

Que pour les vrais

What’s the flavour when your neighbors do Jake favours? Locking real brothers down and letting fake players roam around the projects, this lyrical logic I dilute the weak and inject the right deposit while plotting on murderous schemes, it seems I’m ghostly called by the essence of Queens...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Big stretch on production

absolutely sick you can't find this on spotify, nor 2pac - 'pain'
..bonus tracks are the dig, they shouldve blended them into the outro, like Jill Scott.
but this track to me, embodies what I love about that era, a trip-hop nyc boom-bap of timelessness.

i remember bumpin' this on the bus to high school, cold as fvk, sony mega bass headphones w/ the walkman tape, this was fire..as was Lil Kim's Hardcore album at the time, believe it or not, Big & Kim killed that one.

The Moral song of the album

Soul 2 Soul

And Cain killed his brother Abel

Drove him to murder
