[Kawuma1982]

I wish Nas rhymed to this beat. Just envision it. How he could dismantle this beat at this point in his career.

[dvharris75]

BEST ALBUM INTRO OF ALL TIME.

The intro all by itself tells you what Nas is all about and life in NYC is all about.

[caleblj23]

thx

[superstartheghost]

for you young hip hop purist i remembering going to see wild style in 1983 for a dollar at the double nickel and when this song came on it brought chills to me. i came remembering thinking, 'wow if somebody could rap to this it would be ill. so much had a happen in rap music since then it was like a lost treasure. who know i would hear it 12 years later as the intro to one of the best albums in history.

[CStarz608]

this aint a song retard

[jamaicalove9999]

are u fuckin kiddin me dude?! lemmie guess: ur a dead zombie sittin at the computer 24/7 never seen the sun, never hangin with friends and never heard the word "sarcasm"...

[CStarz608]

it sounds like your venting out of personal experience smh Stop exposing yourself dumbass

[jamaicalove9999]

im surprised u can hear any sound at all down in ur dark, empty basement.

and ur the dumb ass here.. u really think dis is my favourite song on the best rap album eva made?! HAHAHAHA whos the fuckin dumbass here???

[CStarz608]

You done embarrassing yourself?? I now you're such a loser that you live for moments like this but I got better things to do you virgin

[jamaicalove9999]

hahaha how old are u dude?? like 40 sumthin?? i aint embarrassing myself, ur commentin on a sarcastic post and callin me a retard. UR THE MOTHAFUCKIN RETARD I SINCE UR SMALL BRAIN CANT REALISE WHAT SARCASM MEANS! HAHAHA OH MY FUCKIN GOOOOOD!!

i have no idea how old u are. ur writing like a 30 year old, and pretendin like ur 12, callin me loser n shit. u have no idea what ur talkin bout anywayz ur brain is so mothafuckin lost -.- hang out wit friends (get sum first) n learn to live...

[CStarz608]

i'll say it again are you done embarrassing yourself? It's sad that i didn't have to read a damn thing you said to realise you're a fucking Idiot,learn how to spell you fucking monkey brain or do the world a favour and kill yourself because you really are a worthless sack of shit,If i could ask your whore of a mother a question it would be "why didn't you abort this fucking fag"lol she'll shake her head like "I have no Idea".Then i'll pimp slap the bitch lmfao

[jamaicalove9999]

1. i dont care how i spell since i aint in school man. when will ppl learn dat spellin is when ur serious/at school??

2. u can talk how much bullshit u eva want. the real retard is when he cant see the sarcasm. have u noticed dat ur going out of the subject?? i was talkin bout u being a no life dude commentin on sum1 being sarcastic, and all ur sayin is callin me an idiot when u have no idea who i am... seriously, u callin me a monkey n shit when ur juz talkin bs 24/7... shit

3. go fuck urself

[CStarz608]

Umm Ok that made no sense at all but I expect that from a retard like you,I understand Sarcasm coming from people of intellect but when it comes from somebody thats COMPLETELY fucking STUPID (like yourself) it just seems like your consistent in being dumb as fuck do you understand that retard?..So before you say something "Sarcastic" remember that you are very stupid and people may take you serious ok...Now go and kill yourself like i said..

[jamaicalove9999]

ok ok its really impossible to talk to u since all u can say is retard n dumb ass etc. if sum1 says dis is the best song on the best rap album eva made n types like 10 "!" after it, ppl shud understand sum1 is sarcastic. i wont respond to u anymore until u come with a good comeback. ur tryin to take me down by callin me sumthin u have no idea bout?? HAHAHAHA dats the way a retard conversation goes... NOWHERE U GET IT??

[CStarz608]

[WillieJ8]

Nas ft. AZ - Life's a Bitch

[GOBBLEGOBBLEMOO]

''when i was 12 i went to hell for snuffin jesus''Str8 frm Big L's song Devil's son both r lyrically skilled

[eraContraband]

big l came after nas dropped that rhyme.

when he dropped that it was before illmatic came out.

L just quoted it

[J2theMillz]

you're right, except big l sampled his voice, he didn't say it himself.

[eraContraband]

true indeed

[rhcpfan1992]

Good song, and nice clip man!

4*

[Marakulous43]

What's the name of the intro song?

[deeznutzsun]

life's a bitch feat AZ

[PatrickOpalisky]

The best album of '94, along with BIG, O.C. and Raekwan(early '95).

[hiphopmetaphysics]

best rap album ever

[PatrickOpalisky]

I concur!!!!

[jeylove1]

I am in complete agreement with you there!

[qufinest14]

live at the bbq baby.....nas is the streets disciple!!!!!!!!

[Ihuffglue91]

his raps a trifle, he shoots slugs from his brain just like

[qufinest14]

a rifle stampede the stage

[jeylove1]

ha ha! He stampedes the stage, he leave's the microphone split!!!!

[PatrickOpalisky]

Nas was like 17 when he did that verse for Live At The BBQ, and that shit is still FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[qufinest14]

i like how nas flipped it and named his album streets disciple. first words he ever spit in a verse on wax

[DMWI]

fuck the music when the beat is in full effect and everyone's just talking gives me chills.

this whole fucking album is mind blowing, and it couldn't have been opened any other way.

[yungjsr101]

[maLaher1]

[mhavas703]

this is the intro to a legend known as "nas". true shit.

[wrathof]

whats da song in da begging of this song?

[Brooknamsfinest]

Life's a Bitch- illmatic- nas featuring AZ, first time we heard AZ.

[sodr2]

The song comes from the most underated hip hop album of all time: Breaking Atoms by Main Mource. The song is called "Live At The Barbeque"

[gyasik]

this originally from wild style soundtrack, "South Bronx Subway Rap", check it out its on I-tunes

[Kwizmatix]

This video fully depicts all the reasons why I am A HUGE SUPPORTER OF MY BROTHER NAS! Wish the world to know how the world looks from the perspective of a young inner-city youth growing up in Queens in the 80's.

"I need a new "nigga" for this BLACK CLOUD to follow ... Cause while its over me its TOO DARK to see tomorrow" ~Nas

[Pimp21ULike]

He sampled this track from the Subway Theme.

[Onetimerule]

This was Hip Hop at it's best.

[shadyrapafter]

yo guys chill man..dont argue bout no gangsta shii..

we gotta reunite as one and not fight against each other, it aint bout no race knahmean?

[deadprez137]

dat shit was tight

[shinakawa]

the best intro of all times...

[egocrusher]

New York is the greatest city on the planet...

[bacamopa]

2nd behind la

[kingdiaz3]

nahhhhhhhhhhhh new york is king. brooooooooooklyn!!!!!!!!!!

[bacamopa]

heeeeellllllllll no calis way better than all those east coast cities like philly boston and ny......la is waaaaaaaay better

[NYCSandman]

Ask anybody in the WORLD. Chi is greater then LA so MAYBE 3rd.

[bacamopa]

anybodyll tell u that la is the best by far and after that itll prolly be chicago miami atlanta but not new york

[NYCSandman]

Capital of the WORLD holds some major weight. Keep making up your own list. Too funny.

[bacamopa]

who cares if its the capital of the world. la is the funnest city to be in and the best give me your reasons why ny is better than la

[NYCSandman]

LA has to worry about competing with SD and SF. LA's downtown area is weak and so what if hollywood is right around the block. You went from saying GREATEST to funnest. Keep backpeddling kid.

[bacamopa]

sd and sf are tight cities but nowhere near as tight as la. la has better women better weed waaaaaaaaaaay better weather....the only drawbacks are the cost of living and all the gangs. and i dont know why the fuck people say downtown la is weak. thats where the convention centers at the coliseum the lakers dodgers and tons of fucking stores

[NYCSandman]

Cost of living is as high in SF and SD weather is as good, so what do you mean? Gangs are everywhere!! The downtown area of LA is nothing special. Never was and never shall be. Kobe wants out and the Dodgers will always be from BROOKLYN!! What the fuck are they gonna do now?!?!

[bacamopa]

yea sure ese the dodgers will always be from brooklyn even though theyre called the los angeles dodgers and they play right off the 110 freeway and the kobe thing is just a rumor. downtown la will always be the shit. and as for the gang shit. where the fuck do you think they all started? queens bronx? brooklyn? your answer.............fuck no ese

[NYCSandman]

Gangs started in NYC and thats a known fact but your too young to know that!! It all started in Manhattan way back in the day and I'm not talking about bloods and crypts from the 70's either. Did you just learn a thing or two today?

[bacamopa]

fuuuuuuck nooooo they didnt homie your lying and you know it......theres benn mex and black gangs in la since the beginning of the 20th century

[NYCSandman]

There were gangs in NYC before LA was even founded. How are you gonna even try to tell me. Ever see Gangs of New York? Educate yourself some more and then come see me. Matter of fact. If you don't know then don't say NOTHING.

[bacamopa]

o my god bitch please you souns stupid im talkin about tattoo street gangs ese not some wack ass punk ass white boys hanging out together and calling themselves a gang..........you keep talkin about being educated and this and that but what oyur bitch ass needs is some simple logic and comman sense homie

[NYCSandman]

Oh so it doesn't count as a gang cause they were white during that time? I smell a racist chico LOL! Where do you think true crime started at? Yup the MAFIA who runs your precious LA city and you don't even know it. Tatoos make gangs? Oh and how do you know that there weren't any tatoos in the late seventeen and eigteen hundreds? You're not the brightest crayon in the box as I can see.

[bacamopa]

hey chico......honestly....when you think of a g ......you dont think of a white irish boy from new york wearing a poorboy hat in the 1880s... and you know who runs la......villaraigosa and the lapd.....and honestly you think the lapd out of all the pds in the country is gonna let the mafia contro the city of los angeles? i mean lapd? enough said? have u ever heard of rampart? rodney king? the la riots?

[NYCSandman]

Keep trying kid. If you don't think the MAFIA doesn't run any PD then your fooling yourself. Wake up and smell the burritos!!

[bacamopa]

thats exactly what i think u faget and one more thing ...........i like rap. im cool with a lot of black people and alot of them are my friends but i aint no nigger lover so dont think i wont say racist shit about you welfare musty smelling loud mouth jungle monkeys...........if u wanna keep saying racist shit then its on punk give me your best you faget ass new york motherfucking dick sucking  bitch
