  • Omg this song is awesome

  • Thank you Nas for this beautiful, uplifting song! chorus is masterpeace

  • Respect for mentioning our Egypt my nigga.

  • NaS is the the best.

  • As a born again Christian i agree with Nas. No matter what religion or faith you are in study its history and its background. Dont be tempted by the "he say" "she say" stuff. You should in your heart know whom you serve (Just like I know who i serve). Dont follow the crowds, have control over your selves and not let people have control over you. God is love, and God wants you to do what is right. I became a Christian because of my own will.

  • you would never hear this on the radio or tv , the truth

  • NAS AINT ILLUMINATI HE'S ILLMATIC!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This song is awesome there is so much truth that we uncovered within Nas' lyrics. Stop by the operating room. But if you have fear in you - just check us out once you have dispelled that weak emotion.

  • Nas is speaking nothing but the truth. He lays it out for everyone to follow, no need to decode it or anything. I mean damn, the psychological enslavement some people still experience is crazy. Not that I'm holier than thou, because it affects us all somehow, but being conscious is the first step in breaking free from the psychological chains that still bind us within our own minds.

  • He can just improve

  • IMO this is the worst song on the lost tapes..bt still..THE LOST TAPES is a classic for me

  • @tupac0306 Not true...

  • my favorite song by nas just to ill the real prophet telling words of wisdom not about how many girls he pulls

  • black zombies wake up! yall been asleep for 2 long. i love my black ppl and wanna see us uplift ourselves and not give our children such a corrupted world.

  • wtf is the illuminati. i have heard so many different things some1 tell me the truth

  • nas is too ill, a lot of people wear masks in society to conform to OTHER people's morals and norms! Few are brave enough to do everything they wanna do, be you

  • you scared to be YOURSELF - most ppl are...

  • Whos sayin nas is an illuminati? thats bullshit, he speaks out against them. Like mj, they blatently killed mj because he had too much influence and spoke out too openly against them.

  • @da ALL RELIGIONS come from EGYPT MYTHOLOGY! ALL do I have to say it again..ALL. Islam is a copy of Egyptian myth and the christian bible..almost word for word. Look at my video Zeitgeist Failed at VISUAL TRUTH - Part 2. I show where islam come from. You can take a look at part 1 as well which is about religion. Christian is SUN worship and Islam is MOON worship. Horus was the SUN god. Khonsu was the MOON goddess=Islam. Ptah is were they get the kufi. See oscar trophy then look at PTAH!

  • this shit is ill, and true

  • Support Nas and sign the petition to get Def Jam to release Lost Tapes 2.

    WeNeedLostTapes2(dot)com

    Esco Let's Go

  • Nas is right for the most part there are a lot of black ppl that are followers so much that they are zombies. it is very sad but true

  • the lost tapes is my fav album by him

  • God made man in hes on image and likeness, the first inhabitants of this planet. which has been proved by scientist, was from Africa and was BLACK...recognize Bitches!!

  • What if the Biblie isnt true history? Then all yall are wrong

  • Its not its about ASTROLOGY. Majority of the stories are in relation to the SUN MOON AND STARS. Our ancestors worshiped the SUN..which is why you worship on SUNday. Every day and month is named after a PAGAN GOD. Jesus never existed ONLY in the SKY..which is why he is the MORNING STAR. The CROSS is in the SKY its called the SOUTHERN CRUX. Religion is from EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY. Nas- "Words like GOD are greek or latin so if you study EGYPT you see the TRUTH written by the masters." Hes telling u.

  • I hate to get in this arguement but just wanted to state some fact.. Egypt is in Africa.. And who says Adam and Eve was white? No where ever has it stated thier race.. Thats just how theyre mainly depicted, as well as ever one else in the bible.. But what is fact is that the oldest human remains found to date came from Africa..

  • @J EXACTLY. The Bible is FAKE anyway. Lets say the bible is real. Jesus when he was wanted he fled to AFRICA to hide. When Moses learned about GOD he was in AFRICA..then came back with the 10 Commandments which was from the EGYPTIANS. Most people dont know there are more Pyramids in NUBIA(200+) than in Egypt. The knowledge came from NUBIA into Egypt. Most people are WHITEWASHED and become assholes. Ever noticed on DAY 1 god created LIGHT, but on DAY 4 he created the SUN MOON AND STARS? Lol!

  • YO! this is my fav off the lost tapes.very haevydeep song.my please feel/understand this 1.i love this.

  • this joint has a message that i agree but with many flaws..Nas is a smart dumb negroe.

  • NOTHING COULD ILLUSTRATE THE BAMBOOZING OF BLACKS,BETTER

  • white zombies too....racism isnt hating black.its hating any race,so.......hmm the masters still got u where they want u---u can wake up and still miss alot.....smarten up dummies

  • Follow in the system, black zombie :)

  • all true pleees wake up you are kings & queens all of us 

  • 100% turth

  • uuh i don't think nas is a 5 percenter ??????? wtf is wrong with sum people nas is a genius and not a five percenter omg

  • amen

  • nas calls himself God son because he is a 5 percenter..check that religion...lots of great mc's are 5%'ers and u can hear them talk about it in there rhymes

  • lifes a bitch. said by AZ

  • ur right becuz most or all of wu-tang are 5%'ers.

  • ehh i dont believe in the 5%er religion, but emcees are fa real talented and somethin different, in some ways rap and real hip hop are unappreciated real talk

  • i feel you on that, that its so underated .. the reason why is bcuz that mainstream sell out bullshit

  • @yBliz Ive been saying that for years

  • @yBliz 5% nation just broke down islamic teaching...so their religion is islamic. But their Ideas all of us live...5% idealism created hip-hop...and ofcourse America made the believer denounce all truths.

  • @rocklobstarr333

    nas is god's son cause he's the next rakim ("the god MC")

  • ISLAM IS GOOD THING

  • @Riad682 you right but some (not most) muslims ,in my opinion, dont know even know 25% of the nation and just represent for self-motivation because more americans are Christains vice versa

  • islam was a beautifu thing until the arabs ruined it

  • that`s bullshit .

  • classic shit

  • your a black zombie........

  • now that is truth!

  • 0:07 that pic is blasphemy

  • oh shut the fuck up its most likely a PHOTOSHOPPED mixtape cover

  • hey i lke Nas too in fact he's my favorite MC but theres sum shit u just got to admit. and why r u gettin mad its not like i was spammin i just sed once not even expectin a reply

  • im not mad its just stupid if some1 can't realize that was a fake picture

  • i kno its fake u kno wats just drop it dam i didnt even say it in a nasty way for u to react like dat

  • It is just reference to god's son... jesus...who is god's son

    Nas also god's son... as it is tatted across his stomach

    are we not all god's children???

  • @wiiboy555 nas is jesus dont you know?

  • Wiiboy I do not agree with that but your realization that nintendo is the ultimate game company is wise. They make history and classics. Even the eventual best third party games are on nintendo Res 4 gamecube. Monster hunter 3 wii. But Nas I do suspect has the Lord Jesus knocking on his door like all of us. He is to blessed even he does not realize the source of his gift. With time though he shall.

  • @Wilzehagawa Jesus is a fraud created in the council of Nicea 325 CE by Emperor Constantine.He murdered millions of ppl in other to impose this false doctrine when he said by symbol of the cross they shall conquer. Islam & Mohammed Ibn Abdullah destroyed & enslaved Africans.Eurpeans & Arab,Christianity & Islam are enemies of Africa & Africans.We should do away with all these evil & devilish religions.They are nothing but land grabbers & treasures looters

  • Absolutely right, you only got thumbs down cause people like being ignorant and won't do the research for themselves so until then your a crazy liar. We gon get it right one day, hope it's not too late

  • correct, god son across the belly.

  • "Can't have one or two chains we need three of them, cant have one or two guns without squeezing them on our own people," thats real talk.

  • the lost tapes is one of the most underrated albums ever. shit is so fresh

  • Did Talib Kweli sample that same voice in "Memories Live"?

  • man why the fuck everybody gotta gossip nd bring drama behind ppl who speak tha truth

    i feel everythin he was sayin

    ppl ignorant

    big ups to nas for this

    deff top 5

  • Nas Just speaking what the majority wont

  • and fuck everyone who think's Nas is in the illuminati he's the realest.

  • wut u mean the illuminati???

  • @EIvIERiiiC412 THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. This Illumanati shit is stupid

  • @EIvIERiiiC412 lol. NAS is anti-illuminati. people be trippin.

  • @fredmagic09 THE TRUTH, LISTEN TO THIS GUY.

  • Take notes.

  • Pac is still the GOAT regardless. Theres a lot of rappers more "lyrical" than Pac, but being lyrical by itself is only part of being a great rapper.

  • This is so true i don't know why people keep on denying it, watch them say the same shit when Nas is dead...

  • @DonMack279: Nas is definitely better than Pac, he's just as emotional and better lyrically. Pac had a wonderful mind and was a good lyricist but Nas is just better. There is no way Pac is better REGARDLESS, it's always up for debate.

  • @wwesuperstar1234 U right man. I agree definitely.

  • @wwesuperstar1234

    NO!!!!! FUCK NO!!!! there is no debate! NOBODY is better than pac and wont ever be. Why or better yet HOW could u even fix yo lips ta say dat?????

  • @PSTONEBZUP: Well I didn't have to fix my lips I had to fix my fingers since i was typing. I feel I made my point in my last post but Nas' words are just as heartfelt and personal and he can tell stories (NY State of Mind) he's more clever (Rewind, Book of Rhymes) he uses multi-syllabic rhymes more often.. There is a long list of reasons but I dont' feel like typing anymore.

  • Man, this album should have been an official album instead of a mixtape. This was a great album.

  • i think what he shoulda said and what i take it for with what he means is "*actin like* victims with down syndrome"

  • hehe i was high when i noticed it and had not heard it in a while so missed the bigger picture

  • well i dunno lol but thats just what i take it for what it means but he coulda easy written the lyrics like that ... :)

  • @extreempedo he didnt say victims of down syndrome, he said victims walking around with down sydrome.

  • yea because he told you that, right? or let me guess, you and your friends came to that conclusion after you smoked a few blunts. i mean, i dont understand where some of you guys get the shit you be spewing from ur mouths

    it's fucking crazy to me. youtube is full of conspiracy theories, chain letters and hocus pocus.. where does the shit come from, youtube zombies

  • nas and cassidy all day.

  • Political party? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Tupac didn't have the power to have anyone of the Outlawz go platinum let alone get anyone with a mind to vote for him or anyone else. All of this rhetoric like Tupac was the deep intellectual dude is a farce! Tupac could win the seat of Mayor in Rap City let alone run a political party. Sorry but that's just not true. No one would take him serious, the most racist white man would have voted for Al Sharpton before Pac, and Al had a perm!!

  • Tupac was the most influential, I'll give him that cause he's lead tons of young black men, women to want to be a fucking idiot thug. Nas is far more intellectual, thought provoking, as is Ice Cube, as was Biggie and even Jay Z. I wish people would actually listen to the lyrics of the songs that Pac wrote, the majority of it was repetitive, talking about his enemies and Hennessy and he had maybe 5 to 6 songs that were thought provoking..

  • sorry but i disagree

  • Pac was fucking Rob Base with a message..Basic ass lyrics.. nas destroys his lyrical flow. A nas lyric NO ARTIST could fuck with and is true poetry was in youre da man.. "was suicidal..high smoking so much lye.. I seen a dead bird flying threw a broken sky..wish I could flap wings and fly away.." Pac would just say "I wanted to kill myself" nas is far more a creative writer than ANY artist in the history of Hip Hop. A true street poet.

  • Hail to you.

  • Tupac's death is a major force here b, the influence on listeners came majorly after his demise, ask yurself this question nd to thine own self be true, what if; it been Nas who died after It Was Written nd Pac was still here still makin music, would u view them in the same light.

  • thats what I've been saying for years, ty

  • word. just to put my two cents into the Pac/Nas discussion. Nas is definitely more talented, as BFranklin100 said, but Pac is the most influential ever. the passion he poured into each track - maybe not the greatest or most talented lyricists/rapper, but he was a poet. he spoke from the heart and just went at it. Nas is smoother and slicker, better with words, flow and imagery. but no one will ever be as raw or as much of a beast as Pac.

  • For the longest I thought it was Pac, but I am comin to the realization that Nas is THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME

  • In my opinion..Pac is the greatest rapper..but Nas is the most talented..To me a rapper isn't defined by lyricisim, flow, or mainstream success alone..a rappers ability to influence listeners should also be considered..and Pac did that like no other

  • lsn to this, lsn to his albums, he alwys like 2-3 songs on each album that will blow ur mind, and ull be like whoa, i cant even believe he came up with this concept, this man is a fuckin genius, ohh lsn to what goes around comes around (poison) off of stillmatic, and ull know why no one comes close to this man

  • Oh and he read the Quran, Bible and books about african culture. (Y)

  • Nas was so intelligent even though he dropped out of 9th grade because he educated himself.

    He read Dictionairies, Encyclopedias, Medical, scientific and fictional books. Nas is a role model for everyone, far from the stereotype.

  • if you listen very close you can hear the fnord in the background. its very softly.

    mind fog

  • ALLAH AKKBAR

  • What was that line that Nas just said right after 2:27??

  • he said besmellah al rahman el raheem, thats what muslims say when theyre about to start reading the quran, and they usually say it when theyre about to do something, doesnt have to be specific, and the exact traslation in eglish means, in the name of god the most mercesful, btw if u lsn to track-4 off of stillmatic it starts with the same words too

  • Nas is my idol and influence his lyrics are the reason why i started listening to hip hop, before him i was a lost soul listening to 50 cent(i was very young to my defence)

  • 50 cent used 2 be dope on power of the dollar and get rich or die trying but yh he aint nowere near nas level lol

  • best (not rapper) best MC out there any1 who say otherwise hit me up

  • You wanna define the difference between an MC and a rapper for me. People always say things that imply theres a difference.

  • MC and rappers are almost the same thing but an MC has more of a deeper meaning.

  • "rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift they people" KRS-one

  • @admacs LMAO most of Em's rhymes are illegal. no one else has enough balls to say what he says

  • chill girls...lets just listen to the tunes

  • Would it not be the story of Horus and Ra and Set?

  • yup true fact you always get the real shit from nas

  • If you study Egypt you see the truth written by the masters. the holly quran

  • the 3 pyramids in Egypt are of the same size in volume & layout as the 3 main WTC centers in NY.

    It's NWO's ancient plan to rule the world & these are the minor disasters leading up to 2012 fuck the illuminati!

  • Are you trying to say the Egyptians were Muslim?

    I really hope you're not saying that shit or else you need to go read a book or something.

  • you ever read the holly quran

  • Yea when I need a laugh.

    Your last comment wasn't legible in any way so I asked you to clarify what you meant. You dodged my question and tried to respond with an irrelevant question.

    You're either hiding something or you're having a very hard time articulating.

  • @cpedie20 get the fuck outta here, Israelites made those pyramids in slavery Israel was black Abraham taught the egyptians read flavius josephus righting YHWH is the truth ain't no crackas fucked the Holy Bible! read duet. 28. read lamentations 5:10 even nas says who are the real israelites and krs one says it... quaran was made by a ishmaelite who sold black slaves to whitey

  • @98stwarmachine shut the fuck up u racist ass bitch what u talken bout black people in egypt and israel africa wasnt even in the same continent as them  u ne dumb mother fucka and all that shit is disrespectful to god and the bible and in lementations 5:10 there skin was dark because they were in the middle east there skin wasnt even as dark as black peoples and plus when god made adam and eve they were white people SO SAVE THAT RACIST SHIT FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE

  • @danestacy white people are the fucking racist that hide the truth even nas says we are the real children of Israel, read daniel 7:9 hair like pure wool.... no arabs don't have wooly hair.. the white man is the devil/deciever... job 9:24

  • @98stwarmachine

    the white man is devil?

    ur backwards.

  • @danestacy He's not being racist there is nothing wrong with white people we're all gods people but he's right about the scriptures about the daniel part. people fear the truth one love

  • @danestacy The bible is FAKE you dumbass. Youre arguing and dont even know shit. The story of a WHITE man named Jesus comes from the BLACK AFRICAN Egyptian MYTHOLOGY of OSIRIS=GOD, HORUS=jesus, ISIS=mary, APOPHIS=Devil, AMEN-RA=amen, etc. READ YOUR BIBLE ASSHOLE. Revelation 3:14 AMEN-RA who was a HIGH PRIEST is labeled in your bible as The True WITNESS and RULER of Gods creation. This is because in 33 BC the ROMANS took over EGYPT and stole the culture, etc. Egypt was USA back then asshole.

  • This is why i love Nas's Music.. His music has mad meaning.. Instead of listening to Hop up out the bed turn my swag on.. Listen to Nas.. Dude is real son..

  • Best comment on youtube!

  • We are all zombies living in a controlled environment.

    If you study egypt you see the truth written by the masters.

    KILLUMINATI

  • think i need to listen to nas a lot more man, he's definately motivating.

  • Ghetto prisoners, Heaven, last words, every ghetto, your da man, etc..listen to all of his shit..he is being shadowed by devil worshipers in the industry..the truth is always over shadowed by evil.. They either suppress the truth or kill who ever is telling it. Nas is beyond hip hop..he is a true street poet and revolutionary but he is just trapped in the system..just like all of our black leaders.. Nas has influenced EVERY rapper after KRS.. yes Rakim too he even tells u here on youtube..

  • Black zombies in a spell for mo than 400 years. Wow that hurt!

  • Im still trying to rap my mind around the fact that these were all throw away songs on the "Lost tapes" This is why I say nas is the best rapper ever this is material that he deemed no worthy to use for one of his actually albums and it still turns out to be a classic well at least in my eyes..Un fucking believable!

  • No. its just that this song goes against being a Columbian Record Slave, so he did release it own is mainstream albums because Columbia is his Label

  • No nas is own Def Jam remember Jay-z brought him there columbia was his old label

  • nigga this song old as hell..LOL.. he was on columbia record when he made this..you dont hear him say it????? I'M a COLUMBIA RECORD SLAVE..so get paid.. thats why it didnt come out.. You have to remember artist have a certain amount of time to make a song and place it on the album..then it goes thru clearance..obviously columbia didnt approve of him saying that... He should have said Im a United States fuckin slave.. He was upset with his deal back then..not marketing him well..

  • You're preaching to the choir dude I know he was on columbia,sony and had problems with them.

  • *A raging retard linked to this video via facebook" - Fake ass Huey Freeman.

  • Neoklassic Productions 2009...Straightlive Music 2009....Tom Hill this beat is fire..........

  • I hear prodigy  even admited Nas is nicer than him

  • yea its so true... i gues he gained his knowledge from the streets and the ppl he hung out with

  • just the lyrics he says in this song is unbelievable

    nas is seriouslly a freakin lyricaly beast that can murder anyone on the mic

    this dude is just insane

  • i know...i just love everything about his music..and he's not fake either

  • inside myself i flew really high once i heard this today...this song iz the truth.. we been trapped by this material world.. i dont look @ the media my energy aint going towards them..

  • He's always been this good!People would rather here lesser i.q. music these days and I don't understand that at all.Whet heppened to originality?

  • YAN IS SO GAY HE MAKES ALL CHINKS LOOK BAD....But nas is sick tho.

  • Huh??

  • faint, and shout, catch the holy ghost in the church/ scared to do for ourselves unless we see somebody else doing it first.
