[ferhad187]

[SantaBadd]

Nas is like a goofball... any time someone like Kelis ugly ass get over on him. Sorry Nas but Kelis played you. When will folks learn nothin good comes from marriage.

[Bladevil19]

nas is the best rapper out there!!

[kingskuf]

[gangstaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Nas is OG

[ItsMeMario6943]

[CannabisExpress]

[Optikaliluznz]

[Azaine]

[ERIC122475]

his production is what failed in my opinion look at all the heads he had on his first 2 album.....pete rock primo large professor q tip

[leonmccollum1994]

chek dis all dose dudes aint realy doin nunin i mean i like em all but illmatic was a classis and u aint gonna get da same thing twice q tip made a album,i havent hurd from pete or largeprofessor ,to me i this is production is on point

[kokoth]

Nas WAS good, Illmatic and Nastra are 2 of the greatest gifts to hip-hop. With that said tho that nigga startin rappin about alignments of stars and his lyrics just got sooo weak and pretentious that it undid a lot of the great things he spit.

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

pla pla plus one, damn right.

[GetBuckWithIt]

nastra is fail album

[chaoticdog85]

planets in orbit, line em up with the stars/ tarot cards, u can see the pharoah NAS

[leonmccollum1994]

1 ur a dumass

2 ur a dumass

3 nas is one of the only dudes out there who have been constantly coming evident nas is practically the best lyracyst alive one of the only good and the best mainstream rappers out there in my book no body will ever be Nas

4 ur a dumass

[kokoth]

You just made a 4 point list, with 3 of the points the same in which you spelled "dumass" wrong. Do you know what irony means?

[Xbox360Fan999]

haha soo true

but Nas is a true rappin legend

[informationwars]

> dumass

[1rightback1]

classic beat

[taish]

from italy!

[RichieDude93]

Some fucked up lyrics but nice flow

[williamb223]

Fail.

[DeathFromAbove1985]

puuuuuuuuure primo beat

[leonmccollum1994]

nas is the coldest lyricalist in my book my most ddefinate favorite rapper man i need to make a new vid......

[JDixIV]

NAS is the man, but he didn't say much in this one. I prefer young NAS, Illmatic was the $hit!!!

[acedaface954]

he raps as if he freestyles. does anybody know if he actually does freestyle? because i know he writes but i never heard of nasty freestyling. just curious.

[jokerx020784]

hey yo he got it ..we dont????

[maclegend]

he got skillz.. too bad it appears he sold out to Baphomet

[yonepon1718]

NO DOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nas is the king .

[colepru]

nas is like half man half amazing half bear

manbearamazing

[godzman7]

first things first, nas needs to stop fronting and do a double cd. one produced by premier, and the other by pete rock. without doubt he will shut the whole fucking game DOWN! to all you jay-z, pac, notorious big fanz, there is no way you can hear this song and think those cats could ever fuck with nasir. the only niggaz that could fuck with nas are the class of 88. the same cats whom he got the game from-krs, g-rap, rakim, kane and my man guru from gang starr. real headz know wat i'm saying

[wilyvilebily]

a fuckin men

[laersi3]

godzman7,peace to the God! What Jay z are you listening too?The reason I ask blackman,whats better than A nigga telling you the truth? have nyou heard grammy freestyle,this nigga is beyond most niggas comprehension,but Nas is that dude.

[TheBlaackMamba24]

Ron Artest is that you?? 1:14

[vergalechera]

No, It Ain't Me.

[JOSH15BALLIN]

HOLY SHIT that is Artest. Hell I can tell just by how he towers over Nas. He is a New York native though.

[kidmarkay2210]

yesir. it is Artest cause hes repping QB too.

[FGDS21]

Nas is the be st ;)

[junebugg309]

This is hands down my favorite track of all time. Great lyrics on an even greater track.

Preme is the illest ever!!!

[MZJBABY216]

My sis think Soulja Boy is hip hop.Everytime I hear that shit on the radio and them dance niggas I get sick.Some body need to destroy them niggas.

[mrcrews]

thank u guys for still luvin hiphop.i get sick to my stomach when i hear the crap on the radio now.i luv real hiphop

[Cothreezy]

I agree man DJ Premier is the fuckin greatest I seen his interview of how he made "Nas Is Like" the most amazing thing ive ever heard who would think someone could create such a classic from pink christian record he was about to toss in the garbage??? lol FUCKIN amazing

[ThaCholo]

DJ premier is the best fuckin DJ?Produced in the history of Hip hop

[betekvs]

i respect Nas because even after he dropped out of school, he had good vocabulary and put it to good use.

[angeriod]

I can feel the realness

[angeriod]

Man i got much respect for nas and his lyrics.When i listen to his music i have a weird feeling in my stomatch.

[SoulYeezy]

lol compare this to his voice on untitled he sounds like a baby here

[williamb223]

Yeah, lets just ignore the 12 year difference...

[Rekast416]

This is when they "used" to put real hip hop on much music.

[tokenpk]

dam nas started his hip-hop carrer early. he was 23 here

=[]

[sayakabitch]

so coooooooooooooooooooool

[blackpridentc]

this track was ment to be recorded he better keep making his music im still here my brother

[realhiptothehop]

nas is like..half man half amazing..no doubt

[jeffnfoxylady1]

this is my shit so much i brought it for my caller tune

[ShameitUP]

much sucess to ya,even if you wish me the opposite,sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is... simply the best rapper alive...

[jose4891]

Premo is an absolute genious, his ability to combine simple drum loops while sampling in an artist's past lyrics is just unheard of in production. Best producer in history, it doesn't get any better than this right here.

[theecoteam]

Agreed.

[realhiptothehop]

absolutely..best producer ever..!

[whit0013]

Couldn't have said it better.

[EntaDetroit]

n.a.s: queensbridge's finest

[petervischiofilm]

a metaphorical master.

[siilegmaa]

illmatic > new school

[whit0013]

Illmatic>anything

[linopanama1]

Freedom of jail, clips inserted, a baby being born, same time a man is murdered, the beginning & end. WOW!! Life explained in 1 bar. Messiah Type

[rodjilius]

ive only heard a couple songs from this album and it's only a couple of Nas' albums i havent heard yet like I Am.. Nastradamus, and the Lost Tapes i heard that I Am and Nastradamus arent as good as the other albums cuz he dropped them both in the same year. just wondering which should i get

[CelticNBA43]

get I am cuz nastradamus wasnt as good as i am. theyre both great albums compared to the whole world. just that it was written and illmatic were too good and they were one of the greatest albums of all time. but nas still keeping it real. cuz stillmatic is where he came back to the top.

[rodjilius]

thats what i was thinkin illmatic and it was written were real nice though just like u said i personally like stillmatic the best

[BR1AN21SON]

BEST COMBINATION EVER= NASTY NAS AND DJ PREMIER. this is such a sick video too. these legends gottta get back together in the studio and soon!!!!!!!

[manuelramosiscool]

man music now is fucken gay i just go on youtube and look up old shit

[Stormtroopin101]

thats what i do

[ebeledi]

does anyone in here think carter 3 is a classic?

[BROOKLYN367]

fuck no

[Hektik4Life]

fuckkk noooo.

[Epickorea]

fuck no, its trash too.

[Mun0z387]

Nas - Illmatic: Classic

Dre - The Chronic: Classic

MF Doom - Operation Doomsday: Classic

Carter III: Far from classic

[blacklabel831]

lil waynes shit will never be close to being classic

[linopanama1]

TRU INDEED

[BassBeatsProductions]

hahaha get outta here no way near

[nerovsdante911]

one of the best rap songs ever

[mon3ybagz]

TRU...

[fukkislam4eva]

ILLMATIC top 2 rap albums of all time besides life after death

[rainbow6killz]

this is hip-hop in its purest form

[Wandawsx]

damn you just cant beat this song, its my ringer finally! i found it at ComplimentaryRinger. Com it doesnt get old

[SexKittenKendra]

shit shit shit is what new muzic is listen to what they say my ipod is full of 80s and 90s and when i say listen i mean to the words could u see jeezy repping this on stage niggas would look at him like wtf , HIPHOP (made u dance and feel good put it on now kids r like wtf) rap is money now compared to when we know of it like Flashing shit so start ur 7yr old with something ur know like The Boys,kriss koss ABCor let them enjoy souljaboy and crack it (yes i know Crank that)

[sukiaki96]

old school is alot better rite now to me the closest thing to oldschool is freestyle

[ExcessDeft]

Jay-Z is still alive, and though his newer shits wack as hell, he's still the best. Reasonable Doubt is every bit as good as Illmatic, they've gone blow for blow for a while, but now Jay is lazy as fuck.

And if you think that holds it back, then Brother Ali is the best alive.

[pieguy264]

Yea Jay-z is lazy now! But Reasonable Doubt is hot but it aint better than Illmatic!

[fasttypes]

damn straight

[wilderalt]

The king that never ages he still looks likes he's 18 to this day

[whyruhatin]

lol trust me thats not true.... saw him in concert yesterday, does not look 18 anymore. still a legend however...BEST LIVING RAPPER, HANDS DOWN

[GODMANGUY6969]

HIP HOP

[ebeledi]

NAS is the best rapper ALIVE point. blank. period.

[roflDRG]

Here's how it is for all you pozers. Nas is a Legend, as is 2pac and B.I.G. Where Nas and Big have the best flows ever, 2pac is the best lyricist ever. To me that's what really counts. What you're talking about and how you say it.

[d0wn5hift]

half man half amazin

[Richieakrich]

NaS street dreams???

2Pac  All eyez on me...... same beat..

but 2Pac takes the CROWN

[gui6774]

[castur08]

[brian91388]

[2adam4]

[whit0013]

Completely. I have heard so many people say Immortal is top 10 ever. And truth is he's no where close to top 10. Good rapper? Yes. All time great? No.

[Mark53190]

how do you not have big L and BIG.. i mean lupe fiasco cmon

[qwandiddy]

Well I like Lupe because he has better beats than Kanye, and he raps the truth lyrics and he is the best rappers out todays, he doesn''t rap like bullshit ass south rappers like lil wayne, souljaboy, plies- all they rap about is hoes, money, cars I mean- that is not hip hop at all.

And I am a big fan of old school Underground Hip Hop, not no commercial shit.

By the way, Im goin to Lupe Fiasco concert tomorrow in my hometown so come and kill me.

[Mark53190]

[Eaglesqu4d]

1. 2pac

2. Nas

3. Tech n9ne

[McFreddyHipHop]

in my opinion:

1 - Tupac Shakur

2 - Nas

3 - Notorious B.I.G

[Trackstar159]

the more i listen 2 illmatic n it was written the more i think nas is better than biggie.

[Trackstar159]

big is a better lyricist but in my opinion illmatic n it was written r better than ready 2 die n life after death.

[LaTiNaChiK33]

I can respek dat! Nas n Biggie both reign supreme as the best lyricists of my generation!

[Exczoso]

In my opinion, illmatic is the best hip hop album of all time.

[Foryal]

Enter the Wu-Tang 36 chambers & Liquid Swords are the best rap albums of all time... ;]

[dadefinest305]

stillmatic not bad, but can't fuck with pac's albums, they like... WOW. still i rise, illuminati, and all that

[Mark53190]

but illmatic can.

[b0st0nseltic]

illmatic is one of the greatest albums of all time, like reasonable doubt, ready to die and built for cuban linx, its a timeless classic

[pieguy264]

All Eyez On Me is one of the greatest to!!!

[sgreg32]

snoop dog doggystyle and teh chronic are classics also and also nwas album niggaz with attidude

[pieguy264]

Definitely!!

[DontHateOnDonnie]

is it possible for people just to listen to music and not feel obligated to press their opinions on everyone? If i state how a I feel about something I dont need some actors who thinks they invented hip hop to tell me im wrong cuz im not about what they are.

TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE: FUCK OFF! THE BEAUTY IN MUSIC IS THE ABSTRACTNESS OF IT

[ScriffMcgriff]
