Nas - One On One

[ILLER121]

i got street fighter on VHS. shit movie but it came with this soundtrack and i used to play this non stop!

[thabird7]

Remember when various artists put their hearts into makin dope singles that complemented tha movie they was recordin 4? WTF happened to that?

[sisd888]

this gives a little bit of the illmatic feeling but this joint isnt good enough for illmatic, but still amazing

[geniusgza7]

Brilliant so is the singing in the background, reminds me of some tupac songs

[susibaby88]

SUPER RARE nas

[RealHipHop757]

i HAVE to know what sample that is

[steveehardcore]

@RealHipHop757 Ahmad Jamal - The awakening

[Super7820]

[Super7820]

@Super7820 I visualize coups,alligators & suits/elevators in my mansion,that rises to the roof..Punchlines yo..

[epiphany3551]

Classic someone need to post the video"

[CoolGuy95ya]

HOW THE FUCK HAVEN'T I HEARD THIS

[MootPoon817]

@CoolGuy95ya it was on the street fighter soundtrack, since the movie sucked no one gave the soundtrack a chance

[DanCiTi]

This song is amazing.

[DaboooogA]

A good tune, but i cant help but compare it to the other epic shit he released around this time, makes me think he came pretty wack on this.

[Darsyzero]

Just Great man! Really!

[23SoMo]

Just amazing lyrical record...This dude paints pictures like no other

[yangarecords]

Hip Hops Golden Era.

[dadidgital]

@yangarecords Man he should have put this track on one of his own albums.

[MrGriffiev]

The movie this tune came from sucked! But the soundtrack (including this piece) WAS AWESOME! How could such a garbage movie have such a kick ass soundtrack!?

[nickynugz]

this shit is so classi c

[Hyrule87]

I'm gonna be quite honest here, as much as I like NAS and I give credit for whoever made this fantastic sample BUT the track teedra moses "Be Your Girl" is much more suiting with the sample.

[chillsdaweatherman]

soundtrack > actual movie. word to Nasir Jones yo!

[HipHop24Seven]

wow, this is probably the only good thing related to that horrible movie....word up that movie sucked!

[dabrye87]

2 people lost in a street fight

[blakaxx88]

@dabrye87 what u meant by that

[craigstagg]

Whattup YouTube fam. I'm the singer on this track with the incredible Nas. I go by the name Craig Stagg, (Craig S.) in the credits if you have the album. This was definitely a highlight in my life when I got the call from producer Chris Large at 3am in the morning to come down to Chung King studios in Soho and drop the hook for Nas. He's a very laid back cool fellow. I'm a gospel singer now, but I can still drop a mean hook on a hip hop song. Email me at craigs1013@yahoo.com. One

[armleglegarmhead]

@craigstagg ive been singing "gonna break you off a little something" since 96. good shit homeboy!

[wirelessg2010]

Does anyone know if there is an instrumental to this joint?

[baylife84]

I know this has already been said, but this is one of the best songs ever.

[TheYoungTopGun]

How can a movie suck so bad, but the soundtrack is so good, that it actually saves the movie?

[XTRABIG]

yeah son u know what this is, take it off!! some ol skool nyc shit right there!! damn nas hit with this one but it was slept on. respect to stretch and bobito 89.9wkcr for dropping this on thursdays!!!

[wirelessg2010]

OH MY OH MY THIS IS SLAMMIN'!!!!

Never heard this before and is NASTY HOT!!!!

[MrConsiglerie]

C.R.E.A.M FIEND!

[lilgrza]

one of the cleanest nas songs ever

[Cataclysmic0ne]

@lilgrza <---- one of the biggest faggots ever

[tragsicc21]

i will alawys bump this shit

[AutisticRapCelebJoey]

One of the greatest track ever.

[Dubulous111]

I always loved this track. reminds me of freshman year of college, winter of '02. parties, cuties, blunts, acid trips in the snow and pure hip hop. get some.

[RSXemperor]

I play this on my PS3 when I'm playin SSF4.

[fgm613]

street fighting was cool but in school i brought a new tool dueling with the devil a rebel a f00l

[badgescops]

the melodie kind of sounds like that one song cormega and big pun did together toe to toe

[xavicivic]

this soundtrack was better than the movie XD

[kagestage]

nas is the greatest its one on one so we gots to fight ahmad jamal awakening i used this same sample check it out on my page positive and negative feedback needed nas murders these pianos samples nas is a poet

[nafeNafen]

"I brawl with Blanka, caught Bison in the thinker"

that's my favorite line from any hip hop track ever.

[gdavidreza]

@nafeNafen For some reason i'm obsessed with that line to i repeat it in my head over and over.

[MsJesusgod]

it almost sounds like this song sampled yearnin for yer love too (the lifes a bitch sample for those who dont know)

[mrdk216]

its crazy that such a great song cud be on such a crap film like s fighter..thats how u kno music was great back in the day!

[34Illmatic]

There's something incredibly heartfelt about this beat. (Let alone the lyrics.) Some beats just hit; this is one of them

[dwighthoward1]

produced by Chris Large...he was a great producer

[Jonny89718]

@dwighthoward1 what else has he done?

[dwighthoward1]

@Jonny89718 other dope tracks produced by Chris Large:

-Mic Geronimo "Street life"

-Shaquille O'neal "Still can't stop the reign"

-Pudgee "Money don't make your world stop"

-Pudgee "Nighuz for life"

this joint always brings me back when im in a destructive mood. i kind of took the message in my own view, believing that you gotta go head to head with what you battling. you gotta fight, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.

[rawchillin]

[yourmumisadick]

[MrSexxxy20]

I miss the old Nas

[SoEpicRightNow]

that sample haunts me like a ghost. it just reminds me of the living dead walking around... shits craze

[scolamiero]

My fave Nas track of all time ... it's so good it hurts me. How did this not make his greatest hits cd I don't know. "The soul of a cold body haunts me ..." what a line.

[ricanlinkxxx]

classic

[ghostedgreen]

Wooooooooooooooo! Why this is not mentioned among the greatest Nas tracks is mystifying... Warmed my heart over ten years ago and still does to this day!

[jimmytwotimez]

LOVE this track...it always gives me chills lol...i dont know it just makes you reminisce about old times or somethin...or maybe its me lol

[yomomz31]

[newyorkowner]

[therealflamelit]

[therealflamelit]

I been lookin 4 this 4 long time--whoever posted this shall be blessed excessively by the hip hop gods

[trizzooo]

dammm i remember wen i first heard this song , i was like 11 i had no idea who nas was after this it was a rap,,much props to da god mc nas for holding it down threw out the years giving us something to listen to other this waterdown retarded shit we hear on da radio.. nas= goat!!!

[TYISCLOSER]

wow teedra moses sample right there±±±±

[souldrudaddy]

it's an ahmad jamal jazz sample...and the nas song came out in like 1996 way before teedra moses

[Urbanart90]

this came out in 1994.

[JoeLUL]

I believe it's Awakening by Ahmad Jamal. Pretty hot track.

[treeZon1]

nah its ''Rite of spring'' Freddie Hubert

[kfcman33]

No it's not. "Awakening" is the sample for this. Your thinking of "One Plus One" where the sample is "Rite of Spring" by Hubert Laws. I think you are getting things messed up

[PaulRevere1974]

I agree...this joint is mad slept on....I've had this in my head since the late 90's. Classic Nas joint. Love it!

[cashmoney110]

Haven't heard this since 95...Amen.

[notoriousboy6]

qb....so niiice

[SirThomasHomage]

"In the rotten apple, take a bite and taste the worm/Embrace the world in reality and we're faced to learn/"

Dopeness for the 94 era. Wow classic shit!

[wizroc]

this hole album was dope

[newyorkowner]

play this when you play street fighter kick ya ass with ryu!!!!!!!!!!!

[staywyz1]

in the rotten apple// take a bite, taste the worm... HA!! i wanna go back to that era dawg. music was so pure and untainted. we'll get it back though. shit'll come full circle.

RUN THAT (no hands)!!

[Dietown]

Classic! Simple and plain...Hip hop needs to go back to thinkin....1

[TaintedDrifter]

The greatest of all time. Lyrical, deep, smart, real, hardcore, visual. A poet. Best album catalog of ANYONE. It Was Written is my favorite album of all time; even though it got panned by critics, it's fucking incredible. He's contributed so many classic songs to Rap music. To this day, Nas still remains firm with integrity; he may not be as ill as he was back in the day, but he still keeps things true to the art, and doesn't Rap about superficial shit. 1993-1996 - Rap's Renaissance.

[TaintedDrifter]

Love this song.
