[chunkymonkey2782]

why does it start skipping at 2:37? i always thought my copy of the song was messed up

[TheChayLopez]

I always just assumed that Kelis was the one singing on this song. She was in like 200 songs on this album lol

[felixfam06]

i keep telling these dudes aint nobody touching nasir worddamother!

[useoftermswft]

Heard my first album when I was 11 and it was illmatic in every way! My father is an ignorant racist but I think beacuse of my wide music sense and understanding I have grown to a man that see no colour see no evil , and my mind is in peace.

One love from Norway...

[MiztaToungeTwista]

man i love nas... nas dropped out of school at the grade of 8 while those other "rappers" soulja boy and lil b made it to grade 11. I know i shouldnt have mentioned those two idiots on this classic but im just saying NAS SPEAKS THAT KNOWLEDGE.

[officialdollface14]

LOOOVE THIS SONG BUT Fiasco9128 CAN YOU REUPLOAD IT CAUSE THIS SONG SKIPS TERRIBLY TOWARDS THE END?

[felixfam06]

this album is a classic with an exception of like two beats real rappers know this!

[ryanthomasbarnes]

Great song, why isn't this a number one hit?

[Jaxxthelegend]

@ryanthomasbarnes Because most people are into that commercial bullshit which is just all money and bitches talk, people don't like to commit to real talk, they are scared to relate to it

[freeshyne2003]

This is a great collabo with Nas and Emily King. This is a classic.. My man Nas dropping that Knowledge...

[suzy2daboosie]

NAS = GOAT

[BGambino1215]

best song on the album realest shitt

[HakMan1989]

This was a good track.

[HakMan1989]

@HakMan1989 i mean this IS a good track, and a good track off the album.

[Babyfacedblackjesus]

Real Hip Hop.

[igotit2009]

imagine wuts next......

[stonekapolo]

"I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners, Hennessey holders and old school niggas"

Nas raps for everyone.. the only true rebel since the beginning thats why he's the best rapper ever.

[1deadlyweapon]

MAN YA'LL GOTTA BE SIMPLE IF YOU AIN'T BUMPIN NO NAS..THIS DUDE IS A TRUE GIFT

[yusodum09]

Luv it real rap

[kodyps]

one of his best

[ryanthomasbarnes]

I straight up love this song



[23viktor23]

Nas is king and he again confirms it with songs like this. here he shows he has heart as well as coldness

[SonofCarmelo]

After owning this album for years now, I can certainly say this song is one of my favorites.

[chamoandstamm]

this song is so true and meaningful

[YungBetts]

Realest song Ever.

[puffy353]

lol show in the fuck is the same track ,,

[Rsaint17]

This beat is exactly like DE LA SOUL'S -MUCH MORE SONG

[pammo12]

It's such a disappointment that soulja boy gets more views than genuine music like this. SMH

[mrragera]

@pammo12 yea bro its how its is nobody really likes what good just like the horrid and make it good makes no sense to me

[252hustle]

Should be an Anthem for Poverty

[channing134]

I Love this joint......1~Luv

[stariotti]

[ryanthomasbarnes]

Nas is like tupac all over again cuz he speaks about the hard times more detailed and he kills it

[oldirtybastard666]

@ryanthomasbarnes hes nutthing like pac nas from newyork and you can see that n his style

[DGKxRaiNzZ]

1 diss like out of 100 see that proves there is always one hater in a group

[langtangticky]

Y en esto sabemos que nosotros le conocemos, si guardamos sus mandamientos. El que dice: Yo le conozco y no guarda sus mandamientos, el tal es mentiroso, y la verdad no esta en el; pero el que guarda su palabra, en este verdaderamente el amor de Dios se ha perfeccionado; por esto sabemos que estamos en el. El que dice que permanece en el, debe andar como el anduvo.

[SonofCarmelo]

@langtangticky ¿De qué estás hablando?

[langtangticky]

@SonofCarmelo <---Jesus Cristo

[SonofCarmelo]

@langtangticky Si, pero porque estas hablando de Jesu Cristo en la pagina de un cancion de Nas?

[langtangticky]

@SonofCarmelo <--Las palabras de Cristo son para todos ... en todas partes.

 -Bendiciones

[SonofCarmelo]

@langtangticky Puedo estar de acuerdo con eso. Dios no rechaza a nadie.

[Jerseybadboy31]

wow i love this track..

[Kaytradamus]

Would be better if Nas rapped on that J DILLA 's ''Much More'' beat .. still bangin dough,

[ninostar74]

real hip hop kid talking about something off with these gimmick no flow not saying nothing kats

[crazytorres1992]

Nas is my favorite rapper, I love listening to him more than any other artist.

[Anim3fr3ak100]

@crazytorres1992 im 17 and got every album he made execept the one he made with damien marley

[MrConsiglerie]

@crazytorres1992 same here thats real talk

[artace1987]

Why is Nas the best hip hop artist alive? Because of songs like these.

[anatolianINVASION]

Nas is a listener. That's why his words are always on point. He thinks before he speaks.

God didn't give you TWO ears and only ONE mouth for no reason. ;-P

[58supmaan58]

@Tha4thLetterr your gay

[gradgrl006]

lovveeee dis...n dis is emily king when i didnt kno of her....im excited i kno dis is her

[MrSpliff2K9]

yet to find a shit track by Nas

[HARTISILL]

His Most Underated Album

[chevyboi454]

this nigga is so underated

[rambo393]

whos mixin this shit....... ruinin tha song..... tuuuuuuuune

[DZA9mm]

is it just me or does this sound like "Much More" by De La Soul.. just saying

[metooblueshoes]

Check out De La Soul - Much More Produced by Dilla

[Chicago612]

@metooblueshoes i thought the same thing. its really just the drums though.

[willi493]

I truly wish songs like this get radio play. Makes my heart hurt because I grew up in it and try to change it everyday. The hardest thing is to prove the truth. Yet the truth is so evident!!!!

[708moneyman]

chicago how many niggaz gon die this summer? watz tha reason?

[oneindachamber]

The reason why stupid muthafuckas like critics n ignorant niggas say Nas fell off is because they cant understand what this nigga is saying. Nas grew as an artist from the spittin days of Illmatic to speaking about deep shit on his records. Now that is a true MC.. Not jus someone who can spit but can talk about real shit in a lyrical way.

[falodun]

what's the reason, hate is the new love

[slummone]

Nah G that's Emily. Kelis doesn't sound that good. She's on American Way off of this same album

[Nigger115]

@1kar4life no its not its emily

[HighandMighty609]

Dope song. You ever wonder what Nas would sound like bumpin in the club?? Top Scholars remixed It aint hard to tell. check em out on youtube

[lilkidmon]

nas' never wanted to go to school, he didnt really get kicked out, he dropped out, he didnt wanna go anymore

[HipHop226]

classic

[Phillyzjackpot]

"i pump life through my music but still life is a wonder..." :)

[pimpinva70]

wow!!!! all u can say everytime u hear nas and understand what he talkin bout

[ibistanley]

@asiaticthaprophet i agree with you.. He is indeed gifted.. any reasonable person who listen to most of his tracks will understand.

[asiaticthaprophet]

"got a lil older and now I CEE, young brothas wanted by the powers that be" Crazy! Now can ya'll decipher that jewel? If you pay close attention to his verse you'll overstand the wise words. Nas is above the rest. Peace.

[youngdopeyz500z]

damn u kno ya shhh haha propz

[123doomdoom]

dis song hits da heart yo!

[slumz12]

truthfully i liked all of street's diciple except suicide bounce and live now but the rest i still bang EVERY FUCKING DAY....

if you doubt nas must i say... once, twice,, until it gets tru yur mind...

KILL YOURSELF!

[tswagg504]

I bought this album and T.I's urban legend on the same day in 04...listened to T.I's album for about 2 weeks...listened to Nas Street's Disciple for months..I liked about 90% of this album

[Nigger115]

@slumz12 suicide bounce and live now are crazy,live now's beat is bad tho

[jiaj2005]

@slumz12 those were two of the best on this album...!

[QuietstormRB]

My favorite song from the 1st disc. IMO, it's tough creating a classic double disc album even for the greats. Life After Death is a great album but there are some tracks that were just album fillers. The same goes for The Blueprint 2. If the album fillers were removed from all 3 of these records you would have classic albums. I don't consider Life After Death classic cuz Big's life was cut short and it's sad no 1 will ever know the greatness to come after that record.

[MariosLasagna]

All Eyez On Me by Tupac Shakur is CLASSIC

[QuietstormRB]

So you're telling me you bump that album straight through? There's not a song worth skipping? All Eyez on Me may be Pac's best work before his death but it's not a classic. It is great but it has album fillers on it too.

[MariosLasagna]

@ QuietstormRB

Yeah, I bump that entire album. The only song that isn't hard is "Rather Be Ya Nigga". Other than that, I am lucky to say that almost every Pac song is candy to my ears. I think the Black Album is another CLASSIC ALBUM too.

[QuietstormRB]

OK I respect ur opinion but I personally don't think there is a flawless double cd hip-hop album. There are great ones but there are no classics. Are you referring to The Black Album by Jay-Z? If so, that's a hot joint but last time I checked it wasn't a double cd album. My focal point was double cd albums in hip-hop feel me? We can go back and forth all day about 1 cd rap albums that r classic there r lots of em.

[MariosLasagna]

yeah true. There r 2 many superb albums out there. U gotta admit though, Tupac made the best double cd ever. At least two of the songs are timeless the rest are genius.

[stonekapolo]

@MariosLasagna lmfao nigga black album aint no douoble cd

[MariosLasagna]

@stonekapolo i didn't say it was

[blingwhoa]

The Seven Day Theory- IS A CLASSIC.

straight through every song u can bump!!

[mastarhetorician]

i agree, never really found a double album that i would say is a hands down "classic"

best track on this double...

[NYCHustler03]

Fell in love with this song once i heard it. I had it on repeat for at least a week before i decided to listen to the rest of the album. Best track!

[mandelasdiscple]

he shoulda just released only the first disc and then made a special edition with the best songs from the second disc.

[Zukoblast36]

Man Nas Is A True Legend MC Great Meaningful Lyrics I Hope He Comes Back This Year I Heard He Is Releasing A New Album Called Distance Relatives

[FIlipeB08]

yeah hes releasing that with damian marley in 2010 its gonna be hot

[prolific1978]

damn this is a hot joint..havnt heard it in a minute with all the crazy things going on in the world there is still nothing like losing yourself in some good music

[eyewitness043]

Nas's Rymes are like royalty when you think about where there coming from.

And that's not on no material shit.

[34Illmatic]

Really dig the way the way you put that. Props.

[dushiin]

nice video

I just posted a video producing music

visit my page and enjoy yaself

[poetryselite]

"I know a girl, her boyfriend was a fugitive/ she's intuitive/ be on some stupid s___/ She called the cops on his mother/ now he away doin numbers/ now she gay with er lover/ How many n_____ gone die this summer/ I pump life in my music but still life is a wonder/

[shonha1]

U know, u come to listen to some good music nd there's always some punkass bitch tryin 2 b heard, y is that, simple solution is, IF YOUR NOT FEELIN THE ARTIST, DON't GO 2 THE VIDEO.

[angeriod]

@shonha1 yea man i agree, I feel nas alot in his music, it speaks to my heart.

[toweronepower]

@shonha1 What if its the first time someone has heard the song? Can they make a negative comment then fanboy?

[shonha1]

@toweronepower Fan I am, boy I'm not, I guess u 1 of those punk ass bitches, comming with that technical shit when u know exactly where I was comming from a year ago

[mrragera]

@shonha1 lmao yea bro nah nah i just came just to see how much he sucked -___- listening means like compared to not listening at so its like liking it 2 percent lol

[I1iS0ME]

@shonha1

solution shhoouulld be ... IF YOU COME ON HERE TO LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC BECAUSE U RESPECT THE ARTIST THEN DONT BOTHER READING THE COMMENTS... cuz no doubt ur just reading while u listen.. which makes u not really focused on the music. n fuck thumbs up too.. u got 50 people who thumbed up dumbness

[shonha1]

@I1iS0ME U make a good point there but fuck it, I do like to read the comments nd listen to the music at the same time, Look the comment was made 2fucken yrs ago, wtf, muthafuckers is mad b/c it has thumbs up, I don't give a fuck about that, it ain't my video nd it damn sure ain't paying any of my bills,

[Hannibalscousin]

I love this shit.

Music is beautiful, verses are illmatic and the type only Nas drops in this way.. the woman singing makes me shiver, It's a rap.

[jberry106]

nah that's the sekou tracks, I thought?

[Makaveli456]

This is one of those tracks you listen to while sitting outside thinking or smoking,lol.

[speedyrolls]

the reason? the hate in people's hearts. its all about satan

[Bklyn7l8]

Classic shit!!!!

[nafeNafen]

the baseline sounds really similar to Dilla's beat on De La Soul - Much More.

anyone got a sample here?

[jagarcia1]

3:10 best part of the song... open your eyes ppl

[DatBoiCMan]

true words. true statement by nas

[KrfNYC2]

Do you have proof or even a reason to believe that?

[kukura2]

Man the second verse is so real

[re2fanlicker2]

dam 5k views relaxxxxx

[patg074]

i love this shit, man this album was kinda slept on because people are really suckin peoples dick instead of listenin to real life music. that just tells me that these people can't relate to real life.

[tswagg504]

I didn't sleep on this...this is Nas' most forgotten album...but it was a really great album...both disc were bumpin...the first one was crazy from beginning to end...the only wack one's on the second disc were the love songs...Suicide Bounce...damn!

[PhunkyPlume]
