  • this is my shit!!free my homies

  • HD my ass

  • Nas is the realest

  • I can't believe the source existed in the 90s, after eminem murked them shits they're not the same, haven't really read it myself but who know, check out the sauce

  • @MrSotaFunk I have no idea

  • Classic shit, still better then most of the bullshit out now, that's my word!

  • im tired of getting pumped up for the fuckin song and seeing the dumass add wit the down syndrome progressive insurance bitch

  • nas is a legend!!

  • I think Nas is the PERFECT example of a successful rap career. He was consistent with all his music and didn't come up from some stupid ass beef shit. Ill, raw, and just Nasty

  • best song of all time

  • Nas.....what can be said about this track except that it is absolutely brilliant. Sick beat, sick xylophone sample, sick upright bass line. The lyrics are some of the best story telling in any hip hop song that's ever been written. If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a letter to a friend who is incarcerated. Did Qtip produce this? Regardless, this is my favorite Nas song.

  • @MrKentuckyHeadhunter I agree, and yes tip is the producer.

  • Good time'z , Nas played on VIVA

  • i had friends that listen to lil wayne drake soulja bitch and wack people like that.. but now they started hanging around with me and they jam to nas, a tribe called quest, wu tang, rakim old school now

  • @chdz92 drake at times can be decent he's really not that bad...wayne fell off years ago and soulja bitch is the worst rapper ever lol of course rakim, wu, atcq etc will always be legends.

  • @at the 2 people tht disliked this vid clearly y'all was listening to garbage or some shit peace

  • @PUNISHER4200111 yeh som lil wayne crap

  • lol sfunny how the correctional officer is white. don't has claim to try and break racial stigmas, not feed them? I'm a big illmatic fan, jus pointing out something i noticed... no need to attack me fanboys -_-.

  • @Ishitoneveryone this is 1994 many correction officers are white men....forget trying to break racial stigmas and show the truth...this was a real era and even though we aint give a fuck about racism back then we were well aware of it.....you comment really made no sense...what does the white correction officer has to do with anything racial..?

  • why the fuck does it start out with a zoom-in on foxy brown?

  • Legendary

  • this is HD??

  • @Aerosol95 The 720 option is. This is an old as video so its as HD as it gets haha

  • i love real hip hop no matter wat race or creed cuz at the end of the book we all dead g

  • I'm an average middle-class suburban white girl and I know every word to this song. I don't try to act gangsta, I don't really have any close black friends, it's just impossible to deny that this track is hip-hop at its finest and part of one of the best albums in recent memory.

  • @msbunnypaws who cares if your white stop begging for attention FUCKING WHORE!

  • @VanHalenWorshiper Do you always call girls on the internet whores? For all you know, I'm a 12 year old girl. Or I'm your mom or sister or cousin. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that men who call women whores and sluts don't get many women. You're a fucking loser, dude. Congrats: You called a stranger on the internet a whore because you disagreed with her. You can go back to jacking off now.

  • Comment removed

  • @msbunnypaws calling you a whore is the same as calling one of my guy friends a doushbag or a asshole! im not the one saying that "im a middle class white girl and dont have black freinds" what the fuck is that? that's not somthing that you should say on youtube because people like myself will have somthing to say about it! If you cant deal with criticism and sarcastic language then you have alot of growing up to do middle class white girl lmao!

  • one of the greatest

  • Then I rose, wipin' the blunt's ash from my clothes.

    Then froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose.

  • There's some jewels in the skull that he can sell if he chose

    Words of wisdom from Nas try to rise up above

  • greatest rap song of all time

  • i was the kid getting handcuff and to the police car

  • i think em is trash now

  • this shit is smooth !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nas used to fucking kill it, Illmatic one of the best hiphop albums ever.

  • @hostalityhospitality nah, Illmatic is THE greatest rap album ever

  • @hostalityhospitality used to he still kills it

  • @hostalityhospitality

    He still kills 2day.

    One of the few that still does.

    Support the brutha & buy da albums.

  • @hostalityhospitality what u mean used to

  • @hostalityhospitality not one of the best, deffinately THE BEST!

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! they quit the video I used to see.. this one has good quality but is not the same.. I will have to get used to it.

  • Nas is better then Eminem,Jay-z.......Nas begins 1994,that time Eminem and Jay-z dont know what is rap.......

  • @SAM1994Z chill i dont know bout jay z he a faggot but eminem and nas are practicly rivals theve been mentioning each other in their songs a lot i cant really decide wich one is better but eminem considers that nas is the only rapper on his level and beyond and im sure nas thinks the same their just two completly diffrent rappers that are experts when it come to what they do u cant decided wich ones better all we can agree on is that jay z sucks

  • @stonepown i agree with you

  • @stonepown when push comes to shove both Nas and Jay can shut down eminem. Don't get me wrong. Em will give them a run for their money. At end of day my vote goes to Jay and nas.

  • @Rivalthedon na mate im not such a big fa of jay z im a really big eminem and nas fan i don't think jay z can go up to any of there level no offense to you kuz ur a fan of his but i personally think he cant rap i mean have you heard ether dawg lol jay z got scolded

  • @stonepown yeah i heard ether. I'm big Nas fan. I got all his albums. I do like Jay-Z but I'm not like his biggest fan. But I do like him better than Eminem. But if you ask me who's the better lyricist I say Em. But when it comes to battling its not much Em can say to Jay.

  • @Rivalthedon what i think u should day it the other way around cuz eminem came out threw battelting

  • Nas is the realist

  • Not all for having baises and taking rappers of different styles and trying to find the best rapper but c'mon no!!. Nas IS the realist rapper. When it comes to presence, poetry, realness,different styles and agression nas is taking it in the right direction. He does it all and tells it like it is. Hes not about the bs which is why you could go through every song of of nas' from illmatic to gods son to the "untilted" album and play any track back 100 times.

  • Nas is way better than Eminem. His flow sounds like he's running after a bus and his fucking voice makes want to punch him in his face. Nas is levels above and always were. It ain't hard to tell.

  • was this song for cormega ?

  • wtf. nas is that maaan

  • what year did they do that clip?

  • Still the illmatic. Still the illest.

  • I love real rap then eminem 50 tony gayo soulja girl and all them came an fucked it all up theres ony CUBE,NAS and GAME thats are the real rappers left

  • @airmax36fp you have to be fucking crazy to say that eminem fucked it up hes one of the greatest rappers ever. now hes not so god but hey what is in this year. enyway i am a nas,2pac fan and i agre about 50 and the rest but never eminem so dont talk before you now what tha fuck your talking about

  • @kevinbranislavstanko I like eminems first 3 albums after 8mile I think he changed an tuck a turn for the worst he last 2 albums sucked balls he could get back you never no, I think Cube Game and Nas and very few others are whats good thats left

  • Happy Holidayz to all street soljahs incarcerated!!!!!

  • the question about these priison bars

  • one love .

  • The realest video ever made in any genre of music.

  • You'd have to be a total IDIOT to not like this album.

  • Nas is one of my favorites. Most people don't like intelligent rap or real music at all. But Nas intelligently describes the problems that exist in his community without directly describing it but telling a story. In the early 90's when this video and album came out the economy was worse, urban decay was at its peak, crime and the homicide rate was at its peak, institutionalized racism and racists stereotypes was completely in the open. Nas articulately tells a story regarding these bleak issues

  • @chasm47000 my man you said it, dope comment!

  • @chasm47000 n thats the truth

  • @chasm47000 i was the 100th liker of your comment
