Nas- I Gave You Power

[jbarbarino94]

yoo 1 dislike GTFO viva la NASTY NAS!!!!!!!!!!

[nomibe2911]

I wonder if Nas was inspired by that Richard Pryor show in the episode when Pryor was listening to the thoughts of the guns that were in the gun shop.

1 guy didnt get power

Soulja Boy really shouldn't be mentioned nor be the top comment. It's contradictory because I am also mentioning his name with this comment but its common knowledge that he's wack, it really isn't a secret or problem if songs like this one here exist in this world to give fans the true meaning of artistry. As for this song, personifying a gun is simply genius, in a way you can near enough put yourself in the minds of people that choose to live by the gun.

[TheHappybunny671]

@BeenaBee word up I said the same thing about lil wayne just stop talking about faggot artists

[mrjhustle14]

[BeatsOutDBricks]

MAINSTREAM HIP HOP makes your mind think about money, bitches, and clubbin, HIP HOP makes you think about your life, problems and memories but you learn caus the lyrics are knowledge

[Jamaellle]

@BeatsOutDBricks yea, you're so right. Hip Hop has taught me so much.

[JackLikes2skateboard]

[snowball5880]

Fuck Soulja Boy and his club music! This is real Hip-hop!

[xMikeyVanityx]

fuck soulja boy he aint got shit on nas nas got the beats and the spits

[chyeaaaaboyy]

@xMikeyVanityx souljkah boy shouldnt even b mentiond on a nas song lol

[CandiKittie89]

do yall understand what this song is about? he personifies the gun, and gives it feelings and when the metaphor is that u get sick of the killing and death, but u feel like u have no choice. its about kill or be killed.

[Overstanding99]

@CandiKittie89

But the real jewel is the underlying reflection of the psychological impact the possesion and use of a gun has on people and particularly people in the ghetto. Hence the title. "I GAVE YOU POWER".

[terpsfan1982]

Only Nas could make a song like this and "Rewind". Peace.

[HARTISILL]

Not Many MC's Can Do Wat My Man Right Here Just Did Point Blank.

This song gave 2pac inspiration for his song Me & My Girlfriend.

[obixango]

guess what I got a new video # 3, come check me

[delasmore]

SOULJA BOY IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE no am kidding. :)

[Drew2theorize]

This is a classic album, these chain snatching vics don't know the real Nas before he got mature, he was too hood. Nas has evolved, so if you weren't there for the being you missed it! but you young cats need to study, from a master

[robertkrosl]

LOL souldja boy?xD He sucks real gangsters butcracks.

[KursadDayi]

DAMN!! DAMN!!! DAMN!!

[jojoaction80]

Genius!....master lyricist....respect NAS.

[tharekhh]

"Always I'm in some shit, my abdomen is the clip

The barrel is my dick, uncircumcised

Pull my skin back and cock me, I bust off when they unlock me

[Alkapownz]

chamith youre the funniest dude i never saw on youtbe!

Soulja can own nas, nas lyrics are wack.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­A man its because of guy like you that hip hop will die soon

[Quazey8]

So u know Hip Hop now is borrowing it's style and from homosexuals in club and in rock from the l8 70's early 80's, Check out club scene pictures from that time period (ex. Paradise Garage, Judas Priest) see when d\u don't know history and let media tell u what to do u might repeat something u don't wanna and have people designing it laughing at u behind closed doors. Unless gay is what u kids are going for . lol lol lol

[giantsfan1978]

@Alkapownz yo ur so right this bullshit hip hop now is killing rap , we need a rapper like nas or jada to kill somthing bring NY BACK, HiP Hop dont live in the south thats where it was raped and killed

[chamith789]

SOULJA BOY can own nas in just one single and destroy nas's whole career

real hiphop is soulja boy crank dat

plus nas is good because i love his beats

but his lyrics are WACK

[RobC41288]

you're crazy son, how could you honestly think souljaboy is better than nas lyrically?

[ChuckmasterFlex]

This is the stupidest fucking comment I've ever encountered on YouTube. Crank Dat?!?!? You can't be serious. Hands down the best lyricist in hip hop, and you've put him BELOW the absolute worst. Honestly, and this is coming from the heart.... fuck you.

[pbergeron2]

u honestly just used nas' name in the same breath as soulja boy didnt u? wow ur fucking stupid, and im not even gonna say no offense...

[DJLoonie]

yea soulja boy is so much better how could u mention them in the same sentence

[shootingbucks]

[DJLoonie]

[stuckinthetrees]
