Wu Tang Clan - Let My Niggas Live (Feat. Nas)

[EnchantEmerson]

Jesus! Nas' verse is so magical.

[WalterWheat4]

REAL LYRICS

[ms0487a]

So does the dude really say "My destiny is to die like a dog in the street?" This Cuban lady I once knew told me that's what he said.

[ms0487a]

Without reading any pre-existing comments I will now proudly type, "I scream at the mirror, curse, askin God why me?"

[hueypnewton617]

Nas is the G.O.A.T

[scientific1982]

@hueypnewton617 yep

[TheDivine2007]

@hueypnewton617 tru...tru indeed...

[charlbc]

I fist fight with Haddaway

Echoing throughout

[AEG127CHINGON]

Sampled Roy Budd-The Thief

[eltrueno1000]

@williambrazzers PENDEJO, ni sabes

[OpiumMortuary]

the sample is : brothers grimm - chase scene 3 from Coffee Table Music

[hizzytube]

that bass !

[ezzydric]

when nas, wu and even mobb deep used to collab their jams were instant classics

[JamielCotman]

@ezzydric I know right. Who does that anymore.

The animal that Hugh Hefner created

[davko79]

Sounds like Rza sampled James Horner's instrumental music from films like RED HEAT and 48 HOURS and COMMANDO for this beat y'all.

[KeruSelah]

Invisible pens that write light- The chef!

[ZipFlip817]

Big bag of shrooms

[ThankGodImBlack370]

So I live by the sword and obey hood laws and watch my team click like high heels on wood floors

[PurdieLauture]

Shit Nas killed it

[truesoldier11231]

horrible chorus

[13RATMrules]

@truesoldier11231 fuck u bitch

[origanalreaper]

I will not let the niggers live

[realraw100]

say it aint so!!!!!

[Samsaraindo]

they shouldn't have brought Nas on here, he just embarrasses any other

[Bulls4life]

@Samsaraindo thats gotta be the stupidest shit ive ever heard

[fyiyourmomyahoocom]

from the movie short eyes...not bad.

[edwinleonii]

@dmny214 Nas has said he was playing around with that line.

[nazikiwe]

1:50

I scream at the mirror, curse, askin God, "Why me?"

Run in the black church, gun in my hand, y'all try me

I'm God-son, son of man, son of Marcus Garvey

Rastafari irie, Ha-ile Selassie

[vicokwaro]

i can imagine that bassline bumping in the ride, madness!

[KUPHSER]

one of the greatest wu tracks. so fat

"is my destiny to die in the street like a dog?"

[Soo35cool]

what is the name of that song towards the end? sounds familiar

[TpoReloaded]

@Soo35cool I can't go to sleep from the Clan

[charlbc]

@TpoReloaded I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.

[omnistatic]

Si es mi destino morir en la calle como un perro

[thelatedavidsmith]

quite possibly the best use of a tuba ever

[poetmm]

u know i always thought nas was going to be the first rapper to work with sade which would be epic but i heard jayz will be working with her which is interesting nas would fit the bill better in my opinion

[stopwhining1]

@poetmm Actually Nas already did a song with Sade back in like 2001- the Lovers Rock Remix... but they decided not to release it

[Sensaye25]

"I get murder plans from dope fiends with elephant hands"

[KidBazer]

nas knows wussup with the shrooms...

[hautegirl81]

@SpaminFaggotNiggaz u cant take it so u posting on my page, man u so gay. i see yo lil homosexual ass just want the last word....ima let u have it cause this aint goin no where you have yet to prove anything and at the end of all this you still wont know what FAN means, let me explain a FAN is you, someone who rides the dicks of celebs who could could care less abt them. kinda like youve already become my fan all on my page and shit, i wont be made if u rqst me as a friend,

[hautegirl81]

@SpaminFaggotNiggaz u weak soggy pussy hoe, what a wack ass come back, lmao @ train, lol. this aint even fun no more, im so glad u think u know. how bout u look up the definition of FAN since i apparently dont understand english...pussy hoes love to talk mad shit but can NEVER support there arguments with any facts or basis.

[hautegirl81]

[VIDSINURMOUTH]

[hautegirl81]

@SpaminFaggotNiggaz faggot ass, is it??? you must be a product of the 80s crack epidemic if u mistook my comment as being serious of course i wouldnt believe it Sade would never stoop that low, just as i am responding to you..i could give 2 flyin fuxs abt the kinda verses nas spit or who maybe the best, im no rap fan

[daggerrrrrr]

"I hear murder plans from dope fiends with Elephant hands, snot's in their nostrils the block is hostle"

[ChatoWasHere]

Yea, Nas did his thing on this song. "... But the streets raised us. It takes more than metal bars. WE destined for ours." - Jeahhh... One love, my NYC n***as!

[hautegirl81]

i refuse to believe that SADE tossed in the same sheets as this negroid, it musta been Sade some getto boo frm around tha way... i like the beat tho

[MrBlamesociety]

the aesthetics of a classic right here.

[BillyShanksworth]

None of them own it, its called a song, mutual for everyone, u dumb shitheads.

[BillyShanksworth]

What can u say about this song?

[USuckMyMuthaFucknAss]

NAS owned this shit

[01Brady12]

Nas and Deck rip this shit.

One of the best tracks off The W

[hvcoffey]

They all kill this song, but Deck owns it. 

[antsorter]

now that i think about it, a whole nas v. rae album would be sick

[SHOKMAN10]

THIS SHIT IS CRAZY HOTT,

EVERBODY KILLED IT,

BUT NAS WENT ALL THE IN ON THIS

[MrJoeBlunt]

"I've been on both, nut down throat, peed on bitches who famous, pretty dick put stitches in their anus, I'm the animal that Hugh Heifner created, the only nigga Sade dated, the most hated NAS nigga"... that rhyme has been in my head for WEEKS. lol.

Oh, and for my money this is the Wu's second best album. Right under, of course, 36 chambers. Every MC brought their sharpest skills (except for maybe ODB) and they had production that tight in ways too complex in my 31 remaining characters.

[buhshmuh]

@MrJoeBlunt Wu tang forever trumps this album sorry homie, maybe id say wu tang forever then this one as a tie for 2nd with 36 chambers, wu tang forever was a double lp with straight wu no chaser this is coming from a huge wu fan from back in the day that loves this album

[svanari]

Rap aint sport, there is no such thing as "Greatest rapper".

[antsorter]

@svanari THANK YOU

i'm gettin' tired of people throwin' titles like "greatest" out to their favorites when it comes to mc's and musicians in general. since music tastes are subjective to begin with, how can you figure out who the greatest is when so many different people have different tastes and judge music on many different things. you can't make a truly objective decision for it

ON A NOTE RELATED TO THE SONG, i wanna mash up this song's vocals to the beat for aesop rock's train buffer

[spideymayne]

Man...I just never liked this album. I love this song and like a few others, but this was the first time the Wu had ever disappointed me. I'm sure it sounds way better than it did back then, but why in hell did Rza go so minimalist with these beats? I miss that Wu Forever sound. It was like a full symphony, but it was -grimy- at the same time. That production was perfect. Why abandon it?

[amarchaw]

@spideymayne you cant keep doing the same thing over. he has to grow as an artist.

[spideymayne]

@amarchaw I agree, but does it count as growth if the end product isn't very good? Outkast experimented heavily on ATLiens and Aquemini, but the albums were excellent, and so we championed both albums as classics. Skip Stankonia and look at Speakerboxx/TLB, their most boldly experimental album ever. Sonically, it doesn't hold a candle to Aquemini, and the group isn't even together anymore. They grew artistically, but at what cost?

[LivingHipHop17]

dope to hear Rebel INS & Esco on the same shit

[porkerbastiom]

the eerie, cold minimalism of the beat is very havoc circa the infamous

[wwwtheKONGLISTcom]

THIS IS ONE OF THE SICKEST BEATS I'VE EVER HEARD FROM RZA! It's not suppose to be listened to on computer speakers...you need a Bose or club sound system...the bass & eerie soundscape is complimented by bongos & tamborines...Inspectah Deck's verse is UN-REAL but Nas might have One of the Greatest Verses of the Year!

[warofoakland]

Much respect to the Clan, but was this really the best the RZA could do for Rae, Nas & Deck? There's no melody, I could make a better beat in like 20 minutes

[Banksta187]

@warofoakland That's kinda the purpose of this beat, head-nodding grimey monotonic rawness without melody, but it's your opinion

[Iroh624]

@warofoakland what u want a melody or somshit...nah my nigga its just a gully beat meant to be tough not melodic like verbal intercoarse was...thats whyy they spitting gansta ill verses

[MegaDerrick95]

This is Dope Raekwon killed it Nas verses is dope and Inspectah Deck Dope All three of 3 dope Nas Should Be Another Wu Member

[minhasc]

Always thought this diiiiirty beat deserved to be blasted in the late night on 2 x 15" EARTHQUAKE SUBS!!!

[ether150]

PEACE! The Beat is on point PEACE !

[BR1AN21SON]

im sorry but this is probably the worst beat on the album in my opinion. nas has a sick verse tho.

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

@BR1AN21SON The "Short Eyes" sample is epic though!

[illagen1]

goddamn this song is heat!! 631 LI LI 4 LYFE!! Nas and rae...

[Camjj89]

This joint would have been even more raw if the whole damn Wu-Tang was on it also.

[ogdoad4]

where is that into from?

[London2ATL]

@ogdoad4 movie called Short eyes

[Dooke80]

Wu-Tang + Nas = A Lyrical Masterpiece And A Great Sign Of True Hip-Hop

[LuUk1985]

MAKE MAJOR MOVES

[blacktastic1]

Deck had the best verse overall though... It should've been Ghost, Deck, and Nas... I can do without Rae...

[USuckMyMuthaFucknAss]

@blacktastic1 Nas had the best verse then deck then rae

[luky05loser]

best producer Rza, most clever Method Man, most complex Gza,most real Raekwon,most technically effecient Inspectah Deck, most exciting Ghostface, biggest star Old Dirty Basterd R.I.P.........

[MrBapeman92]

@luky05loser What about U-god lol

[luky05loser]

catch me on tha caper on shrooms ....yo?

[BringTheRiot]

this album's one of my faves, hugely underrated gem

[GAINGREENCOKEWAVE]

DAMn!!

[salvadorianvago]

greit lyricks

[midwoo]

all you fuck head mutha fucks shut the fuck up and respect, this hip-hop shit..! bitchies...!!!!

[wwwtheKONGLISTcom]

NAS "killed-it" but DECK "destroyed-it!"

[seattletyrida]

"i'm the animal Hugh Hefner created/the only nigga Sade dated/the hated Nas nigga."

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

would you let Nas piss on your neck ?

[dmny214]

NAs went in, "the only nigga SADE dated, the most hated nas nigga" that shit is funny, because i have never seen SADE on an arm of ur modern day negro, i dont know whether to believe Nas or not on that shit

[Sooftah]

@dmny214 wouldn't put it past the dude.

[dmny214]

what u mean by that

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

would you let Nas piss on your neck ?

[dmny214]

maybe, would u let him shit on yours

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

Of course i would :)

What qualities are you looking for in a man ???

[yungadizzle]

@dmny214

its funny cuz when i see Sade anywhere i say that line to myself," the only nigga sade dated the most hated Nas nigga".LOL

[columbusghost]

@dmny214 sade is a lesbian, and likes to date women. that is why she dated nas

[IProphetI]

@columbusghost thats really funny..

[CrisEsko]

@dmny214 CAN U PLZ TELL ME WAT SADE MEANS OR WAT IS IT

[dmny214]

@CrisEsko Sade is a beautiful half black half english singer from Nigeria. youtube search her

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

@dmny214 i remember sade

[bigfam78]

@dmny214 nas did kill that line!!!!

[mursinary187]

@dmny214 raekwon bodied em

[PPLIFE]

Yo, what movie was that intro from, sounds like 'King Of New York'....that Nas verse is sick.

[qnznyc]

The name of the movie is 'SHORT EYES'-Its a prison movie.

[PPLIFE]

Thanks man, Im gonna take a look at it. The guy sound like christopher walken, that's why I thought it was KONY. Good lookin.

[Norg1]

This shit is nasty !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Freshhhhh1982]

Most gangster intro ever.

[LUDAing]

what movie is that from?

[Freshhhhh1982]

Dont know mate

[qnznyc]

short eyes

[IProphetI]

The movie clip at the beginning is from "Short Eyes"

[CarlosCoy135]

@IProphetI short eyes is one of my favorite movies of all time....wu tang sampled a few different quotes from the movie

[06jdaniel]

This song is proof positive of why nas is the best that ever did it

[GAINGREENCOKEWAVE]

@06jdaniel itz almost lyke, he'z tha god of rapp!!'... tha kid blessed!!

[nyse41685]

@06jdaniel WELL IF U WANNA LOOK AT A WU COLLAB I WOULD THINK HIS FEATURE ON RAE'S ALBUM IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE

[jhhjuuyytt]

o9 shit still ill
