Get Down (Nas song)

"Get Down" is the third and final single released from Nas' 2002 album God's Son. It features descriptive storytelling by written and performed by Nas, who also produced the record with frequent collaborator Salaam Remi. In addition to elements of "Funky Drummer" by James Brown, the track also samples "The Boss" by Brown, which was previously made famous by the West Coast rapper Ice-T on his 1990 single "You Played Yourself"; the same sample was used in Poor Righteous Teachers' song "Word from the Wise" and Lord Finesse's "Bad Mutha". It was not as popular as Nas' previous two singles from God's Son, but still reached #76 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
