# J. Cole – Let Nas Down (Remix) ft. Nas

This track concluded one of the biggest weeks in hip hop of 2013 so far.

**J. Cole** proves that he did not *Let Nas Down*, but rather #MadeNasProud.

It is the ultimate compliment for **Cole** to have the legendary **Nasir Jones**, Queensbridge emcee and one of hip hops living legends, donning his skill on the original beat of the standout *Born Sinner* track.

The new bars offer **Nas**‘ perspective of the track:

“While you was writing down my rhymes, I was just tryna show you that if you say what’s in your mind, you could stand the test of time/Now I’m playing *Born Sinner* loud,” Nas raps on the track. “You made your n—a Nas proud. So you ain’t let Nas let down, it’s just part of the game, becoming a rap king my n—-/You ain’t let Nas down.”

“How that sound? Here’s the crown, pass it to you like nothin’/You ain’t let Nas down.”

“Long live the idols, may they never be your rivals,” **Nas** tweeted, quoting **Cole**‘s hook on the original track, and adding, “I ain’t put out no shit in a minute!” before they dropped the song. Nas tweeted up a storm about the new release and Cole responded with gratitude.

> You made me proud man… RT [@JColeNC](https://twitter.com/JColeNC): [@Nas](https://twitter.com/Nas) thank you
