  • they say this was nas's worst album.. only because evreything he releases is compared to illmatic, but this album > anything post 2000

  • "Swallow a little pill, it's a four-course meal."

    Was Nas watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory while he was writing this?

  • If you love real hip hop like this then you will love this artist from queens ny..on the come up..needs heavy support from you guys..please give this artist a chance like you gave the legendary Nas a chance for his music to be heard..just search lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice Lou i made a choice

  • great tune!!!!!

  • I wish i could take a pill that would take me back to these days!

  • I never hear no one talk about this song when discussing NaS...maybe cuz everyone always hates on this album, saying it;s his worst...bullshit...listen to this fuckin shit!!!! This may be my fav song by him

  • Happy New Year!!! 2012 is here. Go to Google and, search for C.R.I.$.I.$ Featuring Lil Flip to get your New Years Gift from me. One

  • Heppy New Year 2012!:))))

  • 1999

  • "oil in the earth spills"... And look what happened last year

  • That song is always on top! NAS One of da greatest emcee Alive!

  • To all the ppl screaming he stole the music, there is a law called copyright infringement, which means if u use ppls music without PERMISSION, they can SUE U, it's obvious Toto gave him permission, I'm also sure they were happy for the check, y'all know nothing about Hip Hop music, b/c SAMPLING has been a mainstay since it's inception, that's y the original version of America with the David Bowie sample off the Untitled Lp didn't make the cut, b/c they couldn't get the sample cleared in time

  • Sample tw@t - hasn't got the talent to write anything decent . . .

  • fuck Nash and fuck everyone who idolizes this scambag.

    He ripped off, Toto-Africa (1980's music).

    What a lowlife, piece of dog shit nigga he is?

  • fuck nwo

  • Nas' 'worst album' >>>> the best album these so called rappers are putting out today!

  • Nas.. Intelligent rapper.. ever and he also had a vision

  • I dno why people say this album sucked..it had alot of classics on it

  • Nas is a scientist

  • thanks to the 9 dislike for lightin the L

  • ''Cash is the past, a new way of spendin''

  • Whats good Youtube? Nas inspires me and is one of my #1 rappers!

    ►CarmaMusic - Acoustic Rapper◄ Something different; guitar + rap.

    Appreciate any comments etc.

  • As much of a disappointment "Nastradamus" was, this was a great song and a classic Nas track.

  • Damn !! son warning us way back on shit im talking about-peep my channel

  • he also exposes Jay-Z on Ether for being a mason

  • THIS SONG IS A PLANE RIP-OFF FROM TOTO - AFRICA! This remix bullshit is soo easy that all these inexperienced 'singers' can just get a track dats hell famous, rip it, change the tempo and pitch then speak some tasteless words about world peace. BS! Why dont you freaking work your way through like those guys back in the 80s did it? Freaking music was supposed to be about musical instruments, pure vocal talent, not electronic tuners and electric mixers!

  • @remiwarren The song is completly different and the beat is not exactly the same. It had some mutation to it,so how n the fuck is it a plain rip off as you stated.Fuck the beat anyways nas lyrical content is what got people like me listening to it.Nas could have use these lyrics on any beat or even acapella and it still would have been a stupendous song.

  • @MrPhilosopherNY Oh Come on! Just becos the beat is a beat slowr or fastr doesnt mean da tune isnt a rip! I respect Nas for knowing Africa's a gud song but its far from 'his own idea'.....Anybody can get da tune, change the beat and pitch and then insert matching words about world peace! Anyways, as a SINGER, i dont see any MUSIC in a few tuneless rap about world peace.... In contrast 2 peple lyk this, i respect current era guys like Usher, Katy perry, lady gaga, chris brown, rihanna etc.

  • @remiwarren you must be like fucking 10 years old...

  • @TorontosRtist And you are? 5?????? I just finishd my A/L's. And who are you? Do i know you? Why did you comment? Should i be bothrd by your involvment?

  • @remiwarren hold up... youre trying to talk to people about one of the best mcs of all time and you say hes nothing compared to Usher, LRihanna and Lady gaga are you fucked? but i guess you're right making music about the world and its changes is not comparable to a song about California Girls you stupid motherfucker

  • @b33ma4n I guess songs like these have got to poeple. Look here you foul mouthed hypocrite, I'm talking about MUSIC, not lyrics and meaning. If i get to lyrics and meaning, i can write a whole book about it. About you point, a good song about world peace, just one of em, take 'Where's the love' by Black Eyed Peace. They got their own tune, they got a nice meaning, and a good BEAT to it. It won best record of the year, and became universally acclaimed. Take THAT to the bank u foul mouthed peon.

  • @remiwarren Dude. who gives a fuck?! This man changed lives with this song. Sure it's nice hearing songs that aren't sampled or "ripped off" as you would put it. But sometimes you can take a classic and make a it sound good like Nas did with this song. Music wasn't meant for Musical Instruments and vocal talent. it was meant to be enjoyed and to change people. Get it right!

  • i mean its pretty easy to do worst albums by nas ( in mainstream view ) are thoses who he exposes illuminati i ain't funny ? and thoses worst album a still better than 99% of album that came out after 2002

  • WOW, another sick song from Nas, best lyricist out there for sure!

  • @Jar0on

    you must be retarded, teeny bopper fag. Nas ripped off Toto's-Africa from the 80's. That's why I refuse to buy this album. He's a music thief just like you.

  • @BrownSugar253 Stole? he just used the beat cause its a masterpiece, Im sure theyll like it when they hear it. I think this is the only song Nas "stole" but havent you heared those lyrics? DAMN, that why I just call him the best lyricist! The lyrics are totally different then the original song, so yeah. Both masterpieces.

  • How Can yu Dislike This

  • It's gonna take a lot to taaaaaaaaaaaaake me awaaaaaay from you. Hah this is wack

  • @xaramf It's intellectually impossible for Nas to be wack. Check ya self.

  • This was sampled from Toto Africa

  • Looks like 9 people don't want to face the new world !

  • He's right we might go back to the caveman era 2012

  • This was my favorite song off this album. This takes me back...

  • massive track, the beat sounds the same as xzibit - heart of man

  • @OgRyder187 you might wanna listen to this before you say this beat started from XZibit or Nas ;)

    watch?v=aCca5mPMp9A

    People just don't wanna learn about any music older than 1990, these days....

  • I'm starting to dislike samplers now

  • nas rips this but i like wiz's "huey newton" more

  • Ron Paul is the new JFK without the hole in his dome

  • @ExposingUncleSham Not as naive either

  • Nas.. GodSoN Nuff said.

  • toto africa is the sample wiz did a song to the same sample called huey newton

  • Comment removed

  • Music = TOTO - Africa !!

  • T DON'T CARE WUT ANY H8TER SAY "NAS" IS THE MAN AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN

  • "Nothing is new under the sun" new world order is an old idea

  • dame this is my insparation........nas is the gratest......

  • You know a MC got skill when his "worst album" is better than any of the bullshit coming out today.

  • @madhash83

    I totally agree with you.He should have stuck with these same producers for God's Son and Street Disciples.They say this album is worst but as a Nas fan these are among his best beats and production that were on I am and Nastradumus.

  • @madhash83

    I totally agree with you.He should have stuck with these same producers for God's Son and Street Disciple.They say this album is worst but as a Nas fan these are among his best beats and production that were on I am and Nastradumus.

  • @madhash83 motha fuckin word!

  • @madhash83  very true and its a shame pople stop being creative

  • THE NEW WORLD ORDER IS PURE BULLSHIT. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN IT SHOULD GET THEIR INTELLIGENCE CHECKED.

  • The Africa sample in the background is fucking awesome

  • I don't understand how mofos listen to this song nd got sun being a devil worshipper nd in being down with nwo nd all that shit, I swear some of you are so caught up in that illuminati shit it's like you've lost the skill of comprehension, you've become what you fear most BRAINWASHED, listen to the fuckin lyrics man, 3/4s of the shit he spit in this song has already manifested it self since this album dropped, this is prophetic shit hence the title NASTRADAMUS,

  • @shonha1 yo homie real talk im so glad my crew aint the only ones who actually see things clearly. its true like we are in the middle of a global epidemic but the majority of our generation are victims of some pseudo epidemic and have some falsely instilled sence of grandeur and enlightenment following this big fuckin lie thats manifested since the beginning of civilization. if 9/10ths of us would actually pick up a book and learn instead of gettin high and goin on youtube...

  • real talk homie i know we could sit here all day and be on some you got it all wrong bullshit to these internet illuminati page followers but atleast the real recognize what the psychology of brainwash and mind control is and actually have it in them to do something real instead of fistpumping over youtube to other losers. this whole "wake up" thing is a false wake up call that actually keeps us still sleep n unless we can actually wake up from that then we aint got a chance. its really on us..

  • @shonha1 if you wanna get at me for some deep intellectual convo jus holla cuz my me n my crew already have a plan to create new online groups for our generation and younger kids to actually teach through thoughtfulness and truthful education instead of everybody being controlled by fear, by faulty media, and by the people they claim to be fighting against. goal is to stop fighting ourselves while thinking we all the sudden had a real life wake up call because of shit we read on the internet. ez

  • this is bout the end of the NWO and the start of the new world with outthe illuminati

  • I FUCKING LOVE THESE LYRICS!1

  • everyone hates fake so why do you listen to fake, turn on a nas, or tupac mixtape.

    if your mind is a crooked thats the type of music to sset it straight. bringing to the light what others are to scare too! i love real music not the bullshit that has everyone by the dick and tits

  • COMPUTERS AINT THAT SMART....!!!!!

    WATEVA MAN BUILT CAN BE TAKEN APART...!!!!

    SAY GOOD BYE TO THE YOUNG KIDS THAT AIN'T SMART..!!!!!

    YEA HOMIE....>!!!

  • One love

  • yo if 2012 comes and takes apart this planet it should sort out all of this shit make it all unknown history.

  • This is totally PRO-HUMANITY! He's telling people to wake the fuck up! Yall are ridiculous where you try to apply them conspiracy theories. He addresses technology phasing out jobs, media taking over people's minds, our 200+ foreign PERMANENT bases, damn the list goes on and on. Nas got me into true Hip Hop back in the 90s, his message will live forever.

  • Great lyrics, speaks the TRUTH!

  • inthis one case right now...i dont give a fuck about the new world order...this song right here made me

  • @nhsbballer nas wants to end theNWO and start a better world b4 u do tht u have to end the NWO

  • 8 idiots ?!

  • This doesn't sound about the NWO it sounds like he was talking about the turn of the century of technology :)

  • i need 9 bullet

  • @empirex1234 --- /watch?v=pFWNTWcofcI

  • By the way, I dont see anyone else willing to sacrifice their entire way of life and their riches and wealth for the benefit of mankind like Nas will. Most will try and hold on to their almighty paper dollar until death despite how we can come up with better ways of spending and a better independant and global economy. I can spend all day droppin truth and knowledge on yall fools but I got a life I gotta attend to. Peace, Love, Unity, n maybe most important, have some damn fun with life yall!

  • nas is one of the last few rappers who will actually stand up for mankind as a whole in general. those who fail to see it or believe it have been brainwashed by negative propoganda, and those who can see clearly (despite what yall fucktards think) know this and feel it and thats all that matters cuz its on the real to make a difference for the better. the so-called new world yall read about is bullshit. im down for the real new world because ima make it MY world jus like yall can.

  • If you base your life/ideas around what you read on the internet and uneducated, fearful peoples ideas, YOUR BRAINWASHED. if you cant base your life simply around what you see/hear/sence in your every day life day to day (which IS different for everybody) then u need to wake the fuck up foreal n stop tellin every1 who can see clearly that they are the ones who need to wake up. Nas is FOR THE PEOPLE just as malcolm x, martin luther, many others were. He isnt for the devilish way of life. idiots.

  • Holy cow! WAKE UP FROM THE BRAINWASH PEOPLE! The new world is gonna be what we fuckin make it! Its not what you read about on youtube and stupid fuckin internet. Nas is just giving us positive ideas about creating a better new world for people in general. Face facts and realize we cant keep on with these negative ways forever, it just wont last. a change is evident and its up to us to make it better! once again, it will be what WE make it, not what some video brainwashed you to believe. BE YOU!

  • Africa-Toto

    enough said.

  • MY New World message to YOU: YOU CAN and WILL live your life the way YOU and only YOU want to live it. live it to the fullest extent YOU feel possible, always remember that the sky and beyond is the limit and to keep growing! Nobody can tell YOU what to do and what to be.

    THEIR New World message to YOU: YOU WILL BE a mindless slave living in hell. YOU WILL BE a complainer, a non-believer, and stop being so faithful and self-righteous.

    THE WORLD IS TRUELY YOURS!! WELCOME 2 THE NEW WORLD!!

  • these guys are fuckin idiots first of all, if the illuminati is such a fuckin secret organization then how come every youtuber know about them and there plot to kill us, 2pac and others. if that were true than there not such a secret idiots.... enjoy the fuckin music.

  • nas killed this but imagine this track made in 2010 it would be totally different

  • This NWO and illuminati shit is almost as stupid as the christ loving fundamentalists that started spreading it around.

  • any1 who thinks Nas is a mason doesnt listen to his music, because he exposes them, listen to "Queens get the money"

  • @HotNewHipHop1 True true...

  • @HotNewHipHop1 u need a history lesson. hip hop at its roots has HEAVY ties to both freemasonry and the NGE. BOTH are esoteric sects. If Nas is not officially one or the other he is still HEAVILY influenced by the philosophies, the science, the mathematics, and the mythology. And don't tell me one is good and one is bad. There aren't any good guys with whites and bad guys with black hats like the old westerns. There are just men. Men have both good and evil innately in them.

  • @yankpo Its about positive music and negative music, Jay-Z makes negative music with subliminal bullshit.. Nas opens minds and exposes.. Listen to distant relative with him and Damian Marley.. one of the best albums ever!!

  • @HotNewHipHop1 i wont argue with you there. its a great album. the year the headlined rock the bells i made it a point to be there.

  • @HotNewHipHop1 if he really opposed the masons do you think he would have gotten to the level of success he has??? He glorifies murder and dehumanization through gangs n criminal activities. He has mad skills and I rep some of his music but Bill Clinton is CFR scum.

  • @ExposingUncleSham which songs does he glorify gangs? listen to his new distant relatives album and you'll realise your speaking nonsense, people are too quick to judge an artist.. it is record labels destroying music, controlling what artists are writing about, nas does alot of good with his music, open your eyes and direct your hatred towards the right direction e.g. in jay-z's direction

  • @HotNewHipHop1 his old stuff, mo money mo murda, the message theres plenty of examples.

  • @ExposingUncleSham this explains why some rappers speak nonsense

  • @ExposingUncleSham /watch?v=JsZZ8caB5dw

  • @HotNewHipHop1 "Bill Clinton is the new JFK"..."Say hello to the one world"...Yeah, listen to what he says. This motherfucker sold his soul a long tiime ago and is an illuminati puppet. Period

  • @trendsetter74 why would an illuminati puppet expose them and speak positivity in there rhymes, if he is then it doesn't matter cause he brings positivity with his music, which is working against the evil, I went to him & Damian Marleys concert recently.. amazing all about bringing down the powers, & power to the people equality & all that.. I highly doubt it but your entitled to your opinion, but keep in mind Nas now is a different nas to who he was at 1 stage of his career

  • @HotNewHipHop1 Who did he expose? Clinton is part of the Illuminati and he is comparing him to the last real president this country had in JFK.

  • @trendsetter74 Every1 thought Clinton would be amazing at the time just like every1 thought Obama would, there all puppets, I agree that JFK was the last real president. Listen to him and Damian Marley's new album Distant Relative then come back and tell me he's Illuminati... Listen to his lyrics in "Patience".

  • @trendsetter74 nas isnt that type of guy you fucking retarded bastard do your research bitch ass nigga

  • @trendsetter74 pff and you mother did she sold her soul ? stupid dumb ass kid raised in propaganda dont know how to think

  • @HotNewHipHop1 ALSO if he was, he'd be HUGE and be on the radio 24/7

  • yall kill me with this NWO shyt be foreal just live your life and listen to good music

  • its simple i love nas's music but i hate the illuminati.

    even though nas is a well know freemason, i still listen to his music as i know that im strong minded enough to oppose the illuminati. its not like i listen to gay-z and lil wayne n soulja boy!

  • Nas is illuminati freemason new world order?

    he worships lucifer?

    Damn, he embraced the evil?

  • i knew before i clicked on this track that there would be illuminati cock suckers on some end of the universe type shit. fuck you retard fuck boy. get your mind straight. a new world is coming up within the next few hundred years and its up to us to decide what that new world is gonna be. sucking illuminati's dick gon send you straight to hell wit dem.

  • word up, yall wanna know why theres negative in the world? cuz yall brainwashed and yall buy into the negative. put that shit in and out your ear and focus on the positive and youll see a difference. stop all this bullshit. it starts with us. if yall live yall lives based on someone else talkin some shit then thats some sad shit. real talk. nas is that dude. n read what my dawg o0WestCoastin0o said cuz thats that real shit. LONG LIVE HIP HOP!

  • The Prophet

  • 1 of his best  nasty nas

  • this song has nothing at all to do with NWO

  • @RocknRolla2131 see you people are "sheeple" It's right before your eyes what the Elites are doing but gradualism prevents you to look at anything constructively but critical so keeps doubt in the minds of people and not accept reality. I liked the beat to this song but the message is purely NWO propaganda for young black youths.

  • We do need a new way of spending, our current allocation of resources is morally unacceptable

  • This nigga is the deepest most profound rapper next to Pac. A living legend 4 real!!!!!

  • Damn yo tellin you, and people still don't see it. Yo got the OK to put this out; niggas ain't makin it mainstream if they're spittin real knowledge to the people. They will be dead, in jail, in a mental institution, injected with a sickness, destroy their family and friends, or just end their careers. Jesus been talkin to us our whole lives, and his love for us last 4 ever. We can not hear him thru the bs, and its not fair to him. We will have to make a choice sometime soon; HEAVEN OR HELL.

  • @GODSIMMORTALTHUG my nigga i already made my choice since i was born and that choice is heaven on this earth. lets make this shit better for everyone. one love

  • if the new mike tyson is roy jones mike has turned soft coz danny dropped him like a bitch

  • Nas is Like...brilliant.

  • The Magical Papyrus of 2012 - The Black God

  • That sample is ill--TOT-Africa

  • memories...damn hot!

  • @ruler1115 you said this song "moved you", do you mean in an inspirational or enlightening way?

  • Find me this instrumental and i'll bless you with the truth behind Nasir Jones Deal?

  • "no idea's original, theres nothing new under the sun"

  • He is not representing them. He is telling you what is to come.

  • toto melodie

  • does anyone know if nas is representing the illuminati's? the NWO..

  • No.

  • nope. its bullshit

  • nope

  • @ZZZZRRRRZR Hello who told you that, he is too informed a person to sink that low.

  • Go post that NWO stuff on a death metal song, you don't even need to ask to know the devils behind that. Nas is telling you the ills that the goverment and the elite perpetuate. Yet you choose not to see it. NAS is an MC not a rapper period. He says issues that fly over peoples heads infact people choose to ignore.

  • Nas made it to the mainstream 'cause of the elite lol. Not saying Nas is bad/evil... but just stating a fact. Nas is good.

  • @031limit031 You indeed are correct. If more people would decipher things like you just did the world would be better. The common man could not be pushed arround easily. I guess the elite did not see what his criteria was all about back then; now they do thus the promote artists or something of that nature called gucci mane or any one with a Monika lil' or young. Great take though I respect your post.

  • Yeah man it's pretty much through observation. Nas wouldn't of EVER made it to the big-screen without selling his soul to the elite to become mainstream. So, he did. BUT he chose to make positive rap slowly exposing the society he works with such as "Nas- I Can" you can see him with Illuminati-pyramid signs and stuff like that. He had to do bad, to do good. I know plenty of people like that. As for the others, they sell their soul then make it big with bullshit dance music.

  • @031limit031 Some sold their souls and stayed sold. lol.Great that he shall eventually return to his roots. If only true supporters of the art of HipHop would shut up for once and put their money were there mouths are.

  • Iluminati pyramid signs? ur a idiot.

  • You don't even understand what I'm talking about then. Look who's talking: "Ur a idiot."

    You must mean "You're an idiot". Hypocrite motherfucker.

  • Lmao ur the biggest idiot, you get all your info of youtube and think you know anything when you don't have the slightest clue, wtf is illuminati pyramid signs?

  • You're the idiot who assumes I gain my info off of youtube. You ever heard of Karl Marx, buddy? Marxism? Being a Marxist? I'll assume you don't. Illuminati is an elite organization, pyramid is their symbol (or in other cases, sign). I enjoy how you love to insult those who you assume are of a lower IQ than yours. Good job, bud.

  • lol of course i've heard of Karl Marx, the pyramid sign is a sign adopted by the freemasons.

  • Freemasonry adopted the ruler/protracter crap (math isn't my study)

  • @031limit031 Oh my god bud just cause you spent an hour typing a paragraph, Niether of your arguments make sense , what the fuck man shut up hahah

  • @dgardner93 LOL 1 hour paragraph. Another ignorant fuck. Let alone, you don't understand it because you don't research what I spoke of.

  • @031limit031 hahahha just another guy that thinkshe knows EVERYTHING about the system just cause hes read a couple paragraphs and watched a couple videos, look we all have our theories so what makes you think yours is the only one that counts,

    you think you know so much about the illuminati when in truth we dont know much about them

    so 031limit or w,e you are also a hypicrit , and stop being ignorant yourself..

    one love

  • @WiiSocietyChannelUS I was also speaking about Karl Marx's theories... I know wtf I'm talking about because his shit is in academic articles. His theory is 100% true. All it states is that there's an elite, the bourgeosie, and the proletariat... and what will happen and IS happening. Go research the guy yourself, he's in ACADEMIC articles. He doesn't mention the Illuminati, by the way.

  • @WiiSocietyChannelUS Lastly, I never stated I knew everything. Learn to read. All I said was "In one of Nas's videos, he has a pyramid in it a lot... Kind of like an Illuminati pyramid" which is FACTUAL. I never said "OMG IT'S THE ILLUMINATI OMG OMG OMG". Learn to read shit properly. Also, there IS no hypocrisy in my words... I also never stated that mine is the only one that counts xD SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS GOTTA READ SHIT PROPERLY!

  • @031limit031 why would you say the it's kind of like an illuminati pyramid if you weren't trying to say that he's illuminati? obviuosly, you feel it's somehow connected or you wouldn't have mentioned it.

  • @afrodude1991 Maybe he's letting people know that they still exist? Artists have many ways to express a message; mostly, in art. He mentions a lot about european vs african conflict in the song "I can", which is the same verse where the pyramid shows up in gold bars. Possibly letting people know about it all.

  • @WiiSocietyChannelUS Oh and yes I stated "The Freemasons use a protacter/ruler crap as a symbol" that's factual... 'cause it's there official symbol that's been used all over the place and even stated by them that it's their symbol.

    Whatever I say is FACTUAL. It isn't "oh a possibility har har"

  • Then again, somebody who can't type correctly must be an idiot themselves. Don't use hypocrisy in your words, it makes you look foolish.

  • Cause i'm suppose to write a well articulated thesis on youtube?

  • @livblu Nope, because you made a statement in-which made you show hypocrisy.

  • He means the NEW WORLD ORDER...Wake up people! The new world order is NOT what you think it is, research it!

  • not true

  • @sergiolcjr i hope when you say research it you mean talk to educated people in those fields and going to the library to read, cuz i know when you say research it, alot of people automatically think research can be found on youtube and shit and will just hit another youtube search. if thats true then keep spreading the good word and the real wake up call. not the falsely instilled wake up call we been expected and brainwashed to believe through works of conspiracy and occultism online. ez

  • 1 of da best rappers

    u no that

  • nas is so ahead of his time
