Street Dreams Remix -Nas Ft. R Kelly

[whoiscarlito]

1997.

[fourtwentysam]

bump this everyday.

[PoliticalAbstract]

Every generation had it's share of bad music, the 90s had it's share of crappy music. I don't think music today is as bad as people make it out to be, and I too am getting tired of people saying todays music sux on every old song video I go on. Sheesh, give it a rest already, I've been here this shit for 5 years now.

[kingmoneymike]

this problem is easy to fix listen to good music and stop letting the radios play garbage, if enough people show request better music quality then the commercialized music eventual they will stat to play it. and the main stream that follows what ever is hot will start to listen. and stop going on videos that garbage cuase it give them views and thats what the corporations goes by

[mybroboo]

This still hot....big up Nas and r kelly

[Mr47Kane]

Awww man.... Now THIS was a cool ass song in the day... Still is... That Bass line is too hard and legendary!

[LewisRich91]

this song should of been on the album

[Barhuumi]

@LewisRich91 It was... lol

[jordanbucky]

CLASSIC WOW WHAT HAPPEN TO HIPHOP??

[GLegendary83]

this is my favorite remix too! Droppin smooth street knowledge for the ginsu blade sharp minds.

[ahmedgunner15]

King of Rap and King of RnB fact: Nas is the 1st rapper to have r kelly on a hook

[blucobane]

@ahmedgunner15 wrong.. it was biggie

[chevysandairmaxes]

my favorite remix..shit is timeless!

[TheEaze27]

exactly just have to look for it! the mainstream has some good shit but U want something more check out the magazines and read the reviews of artists you never heard of thats how I heard of artists I never heard of before.

[DaMilliMan1]

Music like this still exists...just gotta know where to find it. - 5V

[MrNievr1]

This is what yu call music

[njokocha]

thumps up if your listening to this in 2011.

[Compton23SD]

This track brings back memories man... This Is music. Not this bullshit now a days.

[whoiscarlito]

1997.

[theanswer7787]

WTF did happen to music??? Now we're stuck with soulja boy and lil wayne lmao.  Fuck me.

[spideymayne]

"he wore a disguise / put a gun to me, hungry, he / went on to chastise:

'That's Nas, ain't it? / made it rich from entertainment / fresh wallys painted'

as he told the kid he came with / my first thought was how the game flipped

Yo, perhaps it was somebody I smacked / drunk in a party on 'nac"

ridiculous

[EndLikeLeviathan]

@spideymayne what's more ridiculous is that's just nas doing nas. nothing special, just another day at the office.

[spideymayne]

@EndLikeLeviathan LOL no doubt. Couldn't have put it better

[EndLikeLeviathan]

@spideymayne the best ever, without a doubt.

[TheJbreez]

classic!! 90's muzik is da best thang going today!!!

[KushPizzaSleep]

2 goats...

[RP4EVR]

I know kids have to play this old skool stuff to hear some realness!! I have to keep going back to hear some sense and remember what keeps me getting up in the morning to go forward!! Ambition is key kids trust me

[RedAssassin911]

This song acctually gives me chills down my spine :) Amazing lyrics!

[fattylikescake420]

an mc and a rapper are 2 different things

example: tupac, jay z, snoop dogg, dr. dre are rappers  nas, krs one, wu tang, immortal tech are mc's

there is a difference between tupac and nas so you can not compare them

nas is the best mc ever

tupac is the best rapper ever

straight up

[jfkdog1]

@fattylikescake420 what do you mean exactly, what is the exact difference between nas and pac?? just to get your point better.

[dragunovful]

@fattylikescake420 THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!

ps. Biggie is an mc too and Tupac was kind of an mc like in "gotta get mine"

[blaziankhmer]

oh damn, i haven't heard this song in over a decade. when some of these people listening to this now was still singing "i love you, you love me" from barney!

[ricowi44]

One of the dopest remix ever... Nas & Kels both killed this!!!!!!

'I tried to learn the game and the only thing I found incredible...

er'thing i tried to learn, see I already knew!!

Sick wit it!!

[icantdothisbymyself]

Tupac always rapped about the same thing. Had good music but too repetitive. Nas always had variety. He can rap about anything and everything. He's a true lyricist. I am tired of seeing Tupac is the best rapper. NO he is NOT!

[icantdothisbymyself]

Biggie wasnt all that. 

[icantdothisbymyself]

This sounds like Aaliyah's Choosey Lover fast version

[icantdothisbymyself]

aww memories

[masterghost29]

one of my favorite songs of all times!!! nas is a straight beast, straight up

[supremetechnique98]

In all honesty, Hip Hop music hasn't been a potent MOVEMENT for at least 20 years. Theres been a few good albums that have emerged, but theres a reason Common's "I U.S.E.D to love her" was so relevant in 94'. To be honest, there are only a small handful of actual dope mc's in the history of the game. Hip Hop has alot of pretender's. All I know is when the smoke clears, names like Rakim, Nas, Wu-Tang will always reign supreme as true God's, nah mean.

[nishanth01]

Nas is still the greatest, but I doubt his record would give him big bucks to make a sick album

[llosllos78]

cant fukin stand every time someone says "y cant it be like this anymore.wat happen to good music?" understand something people.thats exactly wat the old heads were saying about this shit when i was coming up in the 90's.every generation says that about the younger one's music.wat do you think the disco generation was saying about hip hop wen i was coming up?wat do you think my dad was saying about 80's music?

[jacksonjaryn]

@llosllos78 That may be true, but even then music still had some form of substance to it aside from the Vanilla Ices and MC Hammers of the world, now the radio, tv, mainstream altogether is full of Vanilla Ices and MC Hammers. I don't care what anyone says, music and all forms of entertainment are in a scary place right now, talent is becoming more and more rare as the days go by man.

[chinabin123]

@jacksonjaryn talent is here, you just have to look for it!

[jacksonjaryn]

@chinabin123 That's my point though, you shouldn't have to search for talent, it should be flooded and celebrated on every television, radio, and website... Not tucked away and over looked when the mainstream continues to be overrun with trash. Fans have become spoiled with getting new music regularly from an artist who has to rush the process to produce to the command for the product in stead of taking a year or however long needed to put some true work into the music, shit's sad.

[chinabin123]

@jacksonjaryn didnt realise thats what you were trying to say, i agree!

[LaLaGrunge]

@jacksonjaryn Exactly. MTV was playing great Hip-Hop from the late-80s to early-00s because the material was GOOD. Does anybody really think B.I.G.'s "Juicy" would crossover in today's music world the way it did in 1994? It was a Top40 hit back then! think about it.

Hip-Hop is in trouble right now if we have to resort to the underground scene to find the good stuff when only 10-15 years ago there was still good mainstream rap getting airplay. There's my argument.

[MrFaze5]

@LaLaGrunge I agree biggie would not be as popular today. Look up gorilla black , looks and sounds like biggie, people have no idea about him. People don't listen for talent anymore, just things they can relate and dance to.

[eckboldandrew]

@jacksonjaryn real shit

[egyptian420]

@jacksonjaryn can't agree with you more man...corporate mainstream has ruined music...no more originality, no creativity, no soul....its all a bunch of materialistic simple minded nonsense...people talking about liquor cars and bitches...no substance for a real rap fan to relate to...90's was the best era of hip hop no doubt about it

[RahJiggah]

@llosllos78 I think theres enough younger underground heads keepin it real... Little brother, Kazi, Shad, Talib Kweli even its just everytime you flip on the TV you see young joc, lil wayne, Drake and all the other garbage ass rappers that sound like retards. I agree though, there are some real heads rappin they just never make it to mainstream... thats the difference between now and then IMO.

[Defmaster2006]

@llosllos78 - Honestly, as the years go on and new era's come in people only remember the good things. The bad music just gets erased from their memories, so that whole "why isn't music like this anymore" is just like a reflex. Not everything from these new years is garbage, but the bad does tend to out weight the good in a lot of aspects. A majority of artists these days are able to make it with less talent, which does kill the quality of today's music. (IE: Lil B, OJ da juiceman, etc.)

[Seany06]

@llosllos78 True but I'm from this generation and believe 80s/90s is far better music than now for several reasons. Most people saying this are younger guys cause 90% of modern music lacks the passion/vibe of older music.

Anyway nice sick beat, heard it on a mixtape thing but never knew where it was from, good to find it!

[shonha1]

@llosllos78 You're right to an extent, but c'mon the artistic standards across the board is in the shit house now more than it's ever been, nd it's not only in HipHop, we're living in an era where down right awful to mediocre is celebrated nd put up on pedestals, so there is no longer any impetus to be great, there was a time when u actually had to have skills not only to get a record deal but to become a star especially in HipHop, Kim Khardashian is a major star with no artistic ability

[charlieisanangel]

@llosllos78 Well i'm from the new generation of music (this was made when i was born) but i still appreciate this.

[MrCavitysChessCorner]

@llosllos78

I agree with Jacksonjaryn's point that a large portion of mainstream music is oriented by profitability rather than artistic quality.

Also -- Disco was pretty much just a cheap rip-off of old school funk. And no, it's not an "evolution" of the genre because all it did was take the same rhythms and sampling technique but use pop and synth samples in place of the previously used funk samples. Of course there are exceptions, like Zapp.

[jDIllaSkrilla]

Check the pete rock remix!

[Nerdbama]

@YoungWolve1 realtalk my dude..I can relate to that line aswell..Feels like he's talking right to me...

[anandc1000]

sigh. i wish i was 14 during the 90s. not during this period of BULLSHIT.

[camy839]

It's perfectly 90's. I can remember this song and it takes me back to this time* Nice*

[JDillaDudas]

Nobody remembers this... But they should... Great 90's rap... Nas was the man back then... I wish he could've dropped these kind of lyrics more consistently... You gotta love this...

[nicozization]

Keep on dreaming..street dreamer..dream on..dream on street dreamer until u die mother f@cker

[gmholt2008]

@nicozization lol ok...

[lightmajor1]

"still survivin but...there's a few down...back in the essence/ i'm askin questions, on the phone wit jail adolescents"...i LOVE that line! This is that real hip hop shit.

[ThumbsUpMike]

that 1 dislike is probably the girl that got pissed on by R Kelly

[andrewphbrown]

@ThumbsUpMike hahah

[COkeagu]

1 dislike. Even the trolls can't deny Nas. 

[Louda4th]

Wow, so did anybody else catch how NAS describes an actual "Street Dream" he had?

Check the end of the last verse when he describes his Nightmare, Thats crazy!! Only NAS could pull that type of metaphorical use of the term "Street Dreams" off! GOAT!

[JustBlaze234]

one of my favorite nas songs

[zbhelm]

so sick

[AmatureCreationz]

real laid back kick it shit

[chennik]

Come home from work and play this instachill

[QUEENMIMI74]

i think every one who loves old school music should start a petition to put this music back in rotation, i have not bought a cd since 2007 0r 08, and if i do by a cd its for certain its not from this era, it saddens me how the industry has forgotten that these artists are the reason they are livin lavish right now

[TheJbreez]

@QUEENMIMI74 i agree!!

[ghariiscool]

damn this is classic......

today's music truly sucks.

[RedRobo6x]

[PatrickBeatman1]

CLASSIC. Check out the Patrick Beatman remix . watch?v=aWFM885MnaU

[dupenzi]

Technologies taken over, i dont know why the fuk people like that lil goblin wayne, but Drake just uses the synchronizer no talent and idiots buy his albums, souljas a one hit wonder people who still listen to him r straight fucked, you'll never find this anymore, maybe underground but not enough money equipment to make an epic, Biggie Tupac RIP you guys would be rulin this world.

[22rayj]

1.tupac

2.nas

3.biggie

4.eazy e

5.ice cube

but honestly tupac and nas are the only two tht rap bout real shit in everysingle one of there songs

[cyanideSatelliteX]

@22rayj Couldn't of said it any better myself buddy!!!!!!!!

R.I.P. 2Pac, Biggie and Easy E

[MrPlaygibsons]

this is for all my goons

[gazmufc1984]

nas is a quality mc but he aint the best. never has been n never will be. eminem is the best lyricist to ever touch the rap mic. i aint sayin hes the best rapper ever but hes definately the best lyricist

[ProudAmerican9]

@gazmufc1984 na, nas is the best lyricist, poet in rap history. illmatic in 91 was the greatest written rap CD in history. and It Was Written is just too good. Fuck eminem that little white boy like me lol.

[727lildee]

@ProudAmerican9 rakim is better than nas...rakim = the god mc...nas= gods son

[727lildee]

@gazmufc1984 rakim krs 1 raekwon are definatlly the best lyricist and big l dumb fuck

[Nerdbama]

@gazmufc1984 Naw man Nas is better than eminem..i like both, but nas is one of the best poets to ever touch the mic...Nobody can touch nas man..Nobody......

[KevinPaul444]

[AQGOAT24]

@KevinPaul444 I agree, why do they need to take it off. They don't really play this song all the time on the radio. They probably aren't even losing any money by the video being on Youtube. Just some greedy bastards in my opinion.

[justikeraulu]

this gonna be my fav song so far

[ryanr20091]

nas cant be fucked with lyrically cats not even close

[schefdeh5]

@ryanr20091

Yeah...well cats can't talk..

[diablo3433]

Escobar...... Enough said.

[lal123ish]

this is confort rap just to listen and lay back hoping it wont end

[crackface5]

Nas in his prime.

[LeftHandedToby]

@crackface5

Yeah, this stuff was great, his newer stuff isn't as good IMO.

[hypie1989]

My Top 5 1.Big L 2.Nas  3.Biggie 4.Tupac 5.Big Pun

[kennyboynton3]

@hypie1989 Big L was just a notch above Papoose. That shit ain't for everybody, I'm from NY and there's only so much I can listen to a cocky dude rap about the same stuff all the time. He could tell stories, but there wasn't much soul in his material.

[llosllos78]

@kennyboynton3 excellent point.thats prob the best way i ever heard put.a lot of people try to put big l up there but that is the exact point thats keeps from the elite.and i really dont see him as a great story teller.just a cocky confident clever rapper no doubt but not up there with the greats that r currently mentioned

[sweetnsexi1]

This song takes me back! Love this!!

[akaLunacy]

this the realest

[SuperHodos]

this was real stuff mayn

[jesuscussojones]

yea,yea,yea,yea,yea,yeaaaaaaaa­aaa!Street Dreamer!! ; )

[oscargsike]

even though nas isnt as big as he used to be..i still think he's the best rapper alive.

this is when hip hop at its finest

now corporation's run everything art,music,culture,..ect

now they tell what to wear,

what to say,

what to think...

[Seattleboiiii]

@oscargsike well the competition is rakim wich nas looked up to.

[WabibiGirl13]

This beat is so smoove its amazing (much love to nas)

[holywomen]

They sampled the Isley Brothers: Choosey Lover and Marvin Gaye's Mercy mercy me

[LastNoise]

Love this so much

[DJisthebest1]

dos sampled by marvin gaye

[32jview]

why cant it be like this anymore

[rasobasiczar]

I feel ya bro........I feel ya!

[enysp]

I know man...peolpe don't understand how hip hop music , shit music in general, is suppose to sound these days....

[32jview]

I dont understand why rappers cant just straight up rap anymore. you look back a couple years and even southern rappers were good. now its just about rims and being in the club and dances. no more straight up rapping ..

[JW2K3]

I agree i miss that old shit.

now its Drake, lil faggot and soulja gay

... Nas is the best to touch the mic

[kigit1]

@JW2K3

Hell no he ain't! i mean no doubt nas is one of the best ever and is 100 times better than lil wayne or drake or any of the fake ass mother fuckers today. But 2Pac is the most gifted rapper ever followed by biggie. Nas is maybe 4th or 5th

[dirtysirus]

@kigit1 what makes you think anyone is going to value your extremely standard and unintersiting opinion on the greatest rappers alive, that stupid list discussion is so played out

[88Desdenova]

@32jview i love this shit! i kno wat u mean. when u can kick back and relax to an mc's flow.

[KrfNYC2]

@32jview I don't know brother...I don't know.

[leunderground]

i love this music! so b-utifulll

[P4D2A022]

LOVE this song!!!!

[iloveatlantaga]

classic!!!
