Two of hip-hop's biggest stars have recently released new tracks with very electronic feels. First came the Pharrell produced track for Common "Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)" ft Pharrell followed by Nas' "Hero" produced by Polow Da Don. Okayplayer proudly presents the instrumentals to both. Now get your Add-2 on and hit up the boards to gain some respect.

Well I guess when nas said that hip hop was dead he was just ushering in the resurgence of trip hop. yikes! bring hip hop back to life!!
sweet…
*head nods smoothly*
Thx a lot the OKP fam.
WOW! That Polow the Don joint for Nas is FiYa! It reminds me of what I like about Ratatat. Can’t wait to hear nas spit on this. Sending this link to all my people who care about music.
Is Afrika Bambaata getting his cut, cuz I smell STOLEN!!
This is some next level ish. Nas is about to elevate hip-hop to a new level.
the UMC beat is dope (as someone said above, no doubt stolen from Bam), but i’m sorry, that “Hero” beat is hot garbage!
whoever says that hero beat is garbage is dead wrong polow the don did his most fire for that beat. and that UMC beat is terrible.
Common is messing up getting out of his normal soul music shit. I like that shit better then this.
