[PatTheRiot]

Just throwing it out there but, maybe if black people we're less into fashion and spending all thier money on sneakers instead of investing in their kids and their education, they'd be more "niggas" in the NASA. lol. Just sayin' Nas boy.

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

@PatTheRiot That's exactly what Nas is saying son lol. You missed the whole point lol

[PatTheRiot]

@VINCEJisSONiCtheMC Actually I think you're the one missing my point, After the NASA lyric he follows by blaming "they" (most likely white people) looking past us. "Who brings you the latest dances, trend and fashion". Well maybe if "you" would put more work into your brains other than materialistic appearances you'd have more "niggas" in the NASA. lol. What because you start a fashion or dance you should be allowed in the hall of fame of intellectuals? really? lol.

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

@PatTheRiot Within the NASA lyric is where is criticized blacks as a whole for that exact thing you are saying. He's saying the race is too busy trying to make dances or fashions instead of focusing on intellectual advancements and achievements. After that when he refers "they", he means "they" think we dont have the potential to do things like be in NASA, when blacks are more than able. You misunderstood the message of it lol

[goldsaiyan8701]

man i feel nas on this song...

[2001v8244]

When the empire falls imagine how crazy that'll be...



[hunterdwarf0]

real, nice sounding, good lyricism, perfect

[therealist91]

anyone got the instrumental?!

[MrLeegeorgiou]

sleeveless chronic

[MrEmphasys]

Help us change America by supporting Ron Paul

blackthisout. com/users/espositoa

[HybridD91]

@MrEmphasys And who would benefit most from Ron Paul?

[AmazinKLIDE]

@HybridD91 America

[Sooftah]

Nas actually crafts his songs. Heads know what I mean.

[SundiataOfMali]

True, enough of black rappers and athletes we need more doctors, engineers, architects, lawyers, scientists...and Presidents!!!

[alhabad100]

@SundiataOfMali are u getting the message of the song dumbass?

[SundiataOfMali]

@alhabad100 Hum?!

What are you talking about, son?



[alhabad100]

@SundiataOfMali sorry i thought this was another video lol

[boabbyrocks]

the greatest rapper alive!!!

[TheDandino35]

And I have to say, even on his weaker albums there are gems that rank up there with the best. The intro track to God's Son, "Get Down" goes down as one of my top Nas tracks for sure

[youngbloodzrida]

he drops the best albums with the truth thats y hes in my top 5 of all time

[praetordigital]

amazing song remember listening to this when that cd came out this stuck out alot, really relevant to america right now, just amazing lyrics, can anyone tell me what the "Lipstick from marilyn monroe blew a death kiss to fidel castro" line means?

[shonha1]

@praetor digital That's Nas using clever lyricism to talk about the Bay Of Pigs, the failed assassination attempt on Fidel Castro, Marilyn Monroe was rumored to have had an affair with JFK, hence the lipstick from Marilyn Monroe, blew a death kiss, conspiracy theorists even say she knew too much from pillow talk, as to y she was murdered

[HSFArcha]

sick lyrics just amazing

[Flamegang210]

Im so glad i bought this album when it came out real hip hop where you at Nas?

[213regulator]

WHAT A BEAST

[8888habibi]

America -this is not what you think it is. Печально, но правда.

[AFCA09100]

Perfect song.. Always been a Jay Z fan but damn they are both goats!

[TalesFromTheBooth]

If Illmatic wasn't the classic it is, this would be Nas' best album...its just so raw

[TheDandino35]

@TalesFromTheBooth Yeah I would have to agree with that. This shits just so real. Beats Stillmatic in my book, which a lot of people say is his 2nd biggest classic. Got so much love for Nas tho man. "I Am" was even classic for me. And "The Lost Tapes" stayed on repeat for months after I got it. Just too much quality coming from this man.

[TOTCD]

@TalesFromTheBooth Stillmatic too man.

[sheszxFRESZH]

lol i find it funny how nas fans claim how big of a fan they are right, but none of them even bought this album!!! its crazy there is not even alot of views.. this album was dope!

[shonha1]

@she's FRESH B/c most don't want to hear the raw truth, they'd rather listen to fairy tales of overpriced cars, clothes, jewelry and fast women none of which they'll ever possess

[DoiTBigproductions1]

the last verse is my favorite part

[BAKER74022]

so tru this place called America is nonthin but thieves...conspiracies...and ignorance

[ZigZags805]

@BAKER74022 pretty much

[campo199]

He is the absolute best! No comparisons are needed they just become pathetic anyway, so if you dont agree fair dues, im not going to argue. Just opinions and in my opinion this man is truthfuly already 5 steps ahead of the world

[daburgzfinest]

Hypocrisy is all i can see/white cop aquitted for murder/black cop cop a plea/that type of sh*t makes u stop and think!

[willifmoore]

how can someone dislike this, even if you have some political grudge against the ideas he expressed you must at least appreciate the art on delivery and lyricism...make your argument but dont disrespect the art

[saebanec]

Кайф

[BigVic405g]

you dumbasses with your conspiracy theories on Illuminati are the fucking the reason why this shit goes on. If you are not smart enough to fucking realize that your legitimizing institutionalized racism, imperialism, and class exploitation by depoliticizing the economy (ie capitalism) then just shut up. It is conspiracy theorist like you morons that allow this crap to go on. It is not a conspiracy if this happens out in the air, it is called a system. Get off the weed and think.

[062082shane]

it will never be for what it is for others not when your mind operates differently

[drumma4lyfe06]

This song is DEEEEEP! Open the ears and eyes folks...

[iTzOwnerV2]

People who deny Illumiati needs to wake up, or are devil worshipers.

[BigVic405g]

@iTzOwnerV2 you're an even larger clown

[siege86]

i hate when people tlk about illuminati, its just the sick fucks of the world, the fact we have a name for them is so gay. sorry.

[isaelmundo]

WAKE UP PEOPLE!! DONT BELIVE THE MEDIA. WHERE ARE THE DAMN WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION HUH!!? NOTHING BUT LIES AND MANIPULATION OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. WHEN THE DAY COMES ILL BE READY. REVOLUTION!!

[mekz100]

"wake up, this is not what u think it is"

he talking about illuminati, its obvious

[siege86]

@mekz100 hes tlking about America! fuckin read the title!

[mekz100]

@siege86 fucking learn to read u idiot

[siege86]

@mekz100 learn to read what?!?!

[mekz100]

@siege86 i meant that specific line, how nas was referring to illuminati. now the song as a whole is about america, and how illuminati has got control

[BigVic405g]

@mekz100 your a clown

[mekz100]

@BigVic405g you're**

[BigVic405g]

@mekz100 my mistake, you're a clown that can spell

[BigVic405g]

@mekz100 my mistake, you're a clown that can spell

[mekz100]

@BigVic405g bravo

[BigVic405g]

@mekz100 Yes, thank you

[MrChristopher0711]

NAS is 1 of the realest!!!

[RELAPSERR]

@MrChristopher0711 No he isn't. He IS the realest.

[TzuNation]

This my new morning song! Its beautiful

[nitropopoff]

Death penalty in Texas kill young girls and boys, Barbarity, im in the double R casually buggin how I made it out the hood dazzle me. how far are we really from 3rd world savagry? When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that will be

[SelassieRastaDude]

big up nas

[maxkuznetsov123456]

great song overall, too bad people like this get killed

[Ace111694]

@maxkuznetsov123456 Illuminati cant kill nas it would be wayyyy to obvious and more people would start to believe and not trust the government

[MrPortmans123]

shiet i just watched "The Economic Hitman", full trippy shit. conspiracy theories do my head in ._.

[baidey420]

@MrPortmans123 check out the politics section on my channel.......Everybody reading this wake up and do your research on nwo,Bilderburg,tri lateral commision, ect....the politics section on my channel will help you find truth

[JM1993951]

Easily my favorite song from the album

[JM1993951]

And Lil Wayne gets grammies................

[EvenBetterRayBill]

Once again Nas show's us what missing from Hip-Hop and that's social commentary, I have this on repeat on my MP3 player.

[MegaMytube09]

this nigga here is a lyricis not to many out there can flow like him!

[TheLovelyMyra]

my first time listening to this song I love it so true almost brought me to tears

[2KILLAVILLE]

It Was Written Nastradamaus, Street's Disciple, God's Son Is Stillmatic CAZ He Still At It n Illmatic while reachin out to Distant Relatives. So ahead of his time n always was better han pac n biggie, yeah I said it n stand on it just listen to his advanced vocab, knowledge n wisdom, meaning, wordplay n lyrics

[hiphopforlife1231]

wowww i love nas this song is so truthful.......

assassinations

diplomatic relations

killed indigenous people

built a new nation

if you look at this is what is happening to iraq....

america wants to take over it......so they tell the poeple there terrist.....they can get away with it......and check out the this documentary on the water supplies on earth.......its called.....''blue gold: World water wars''.....its tells about c.i.a agents having to kill other diplomatic leaders..........

[MURDAH2]

NAS IS THE TRUTH!

[Politrickkks]

Yall dont treat women fair, she read about herself in the bible believing she the reason sin is here; u played her with an apron like " bring me my dinner dear "...

- realest shit he ever wrote.

[3stacks84]

@Politrickkks the realiest rapper ever and the best artist ever

[oday215]

He speaks the truth, and for that he does not get any radio time. Our public seems blind sometimes. America's government know's this guy can start a movement, so they bring lil wayne and other fake rappers to distract us.

[Yaronas77]

awesome.this guy has the skills to send you amessage thru his songs damn nas for life

[gunslinger713]

One of the only rappers i listen to and this guy is good

[bloodvamp089]

damn i dont think i can say much here but damn and glad hes always been my role model

[Glamtronik]

this is fire

[death2empire]

really great lyrics, really in touch with the way it actually is, almost maoist

"if I could travel to the 1700's

i'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite

through your covenant"

first thyme i hear this i thought wow! this guy is spittin' some truth, and i loved that particular part (in quotes)

stop thinkin' like americans; start thinkin' 'bout humanity!

[chase2896]

this is great song he raps it from his heart

[seedofbug1088]

"This is not what you think!"

Let's always remember the truth squeezed between lies inside the history books. Fuck the oppressors & sympathizers to the slave masters! We, the people, truly understand what America is all about... We built this country. Our families are the heirs to the fields, the shops, factories, the benefits, wealth, & prosperity. Don't forget who YOU ARE in the Struggle!

[death2empire]

when the founding fathers came up with that "we the people" line they meant it for the white slave owning class, the rest were not considered people

but this also accomplished what the bourgeois were struggle with in europe, by tricking people to think this included all people

let's not forget a slave counted as three fifths... this also made it alot easier for the southern states to pull their wieght

check out: "communism and jeffersonian democracy" do a google

[BP7203]

What NAS is saying is to open your eyes!!!!

Land of the Thieves....

listen Sly Fox

they own youtube... remote control soul control

CBS is Watching you

BP

[mrmonnet]

Nice video.

[JoesKrazyComedy]

likin da subtitles they luk really proffesional!!!!

[shonha1]

If u listen 2 this record nd can HONESTLY from yur heart say it's lame nd conveys nothing meaningful, then yur comprehension skills are seriously lacking, or yur 1 of those who can't bear 2 hear the TRUTH.

[ShinIsTrue]

@shonha1 TRUTH!!!!

[aviciousbassist]

wow, this is so lame, honestly i was hoping he would say something meaningful, but all it is is one liners that dont really tie together at all...

[utube2k8]

You crazy this is one of the most meaningful rap songs I've ever heard

[AlphaKillaX]

this is the best song in the album

[UnlimitedProdiction1]

I second that. At first I would skip it because I wasn't actually paying attention. Then I played the album, without skipping and shit almost a year later I'm still playing the album the only song I skip is track 4 (song with Chris Brown)

[ebradahusla]

I love that song(World go round), but the album is great.

[arslan1029]

nas ia one of the best rappers

[shonha1]

u seem to be convinced about the things u say about Nas, so u must have proof of all these things yur accusing him of being, put me on son, when did he say he's a mason

[bardsley420]

well no kidding, he says hes about revolution than hes says hes a mason... hes an elitist and a liar and a false prophet, he knows wuts guna happen about the economy and aliens cus hes an insider.

[DaProlifik1reaLyrics]

I know too, what the fuck's Nas gonna do? He's tellin you ain't he? That's all he can do really, so how's he a false prophet? Not all Masons are evil, learn what they actually study and you'll understand, it's the truth. It's not responsible for this shit goin on now any more than Jesus was responsible for the holocaust. Just cus people abuse their powers doesn't mean the knowledge is evil. It's neither good or evil, just the truth. What individuals do with the knowledge is up to them.

[DaProlifik1reaLyrics]

Oh, and if y'all really wanna know what's goin on, read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, I'm about two thirds through and I see it unfolding just the same way. Some guy that left the Illuminati to become a Christian was preaching that was the plan back in the seventies, then was assassinated. It's a long ass book, at first I was like this don't got shit to do with it, but if you keep reading the parallels are crazy. I'm almost scared to keep reading it, I'd rather not know all this shit sometimes. 1

[modelo81292]

he's not really an false prophet because the sht he spits is real, he's an elitist because he has money && fame so of course he's qoinq to know whats qoinq on up top , but he also is smart && reads up on thinqs i also know alot about the illuminati which lines up to the stuff he's sayinq, like about the empire fallinq . within 3 - 4 years what how everythinq unfolds . read your bible or the book of reliqion you follow. cause the only way to stop is a revolution or spiritual war. && no ones awake

[GlobalEliteEnt]

nas confuses me he needs to know where he stands or make it clear where he stands

[bwise40]

my man you the only fool open your eyes or maybe you just haven't seen these things in your community. listen to the first verse. LISTEN!!!!!!

[theoperative85]

I thought Nas was aight but after hearing some of his lyrics lately I think hes a fool, he wants to talk smack about our country move the fuck out son, cause you rich cause of America.

[yotafro]

He's still got it! Killed that last verse!!

[tanginawlangusername]

TIGHT!

[nachdehasdeh]

If I could travel to the 1700's

I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite

Through your covenant

Thats the one!

[mlewis1911]

There is so much in this song

HE asked how far are we really from 3rd world Savagery

[beurself95]

this song is so fuckin true

[arodcar]

This wasn't Nas's best album musically but the things he talks about are powerful as hell and need to be talked about more often.

[nek1t]

AWESOMEE

[SinistarrMC]

This old German, said I was a thug with a notty head// Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled

[nachdehasdeh]

i dont get that lyric anyone care to elaborate please? thanks

[00StreetKnowledge00]

Nas Had A Conversation With A German, The German Noticed His Car Was A Mercedes Benz, Which Is A German Car And Was Used Throughout Nazi Germany

[sedated909]

"When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that will be"

[Cireanimefan]

@sedated909 yeah when illuminati falls that's going to be crazy good

[AmatZelo]

@sedated909

empire was fall a long time ago.

we live in Crazy World.

[PineappleAlex]

@sedated909 Notice there is no IF the empire fall. Its WHEN the empire fall.. Hmm.

[winnsmith]

@PineappleAlex Yeah it's guaranteed pretty much the U.S. dollar's value is going to shit because our whole economic system is fucked

[zukmabolz]

Fuk this is ILL!! (ST)ILLMATIC WHATTTT!!

[Naphorse]

itz awesome how NAS talks about Native american people im Native man and its kool we gettin Reconized...Because Us Indianz are looked at as Evil and the ones who cause problems ..We dont get reconized as The Goood we brought to this country "OUR COUNTRY"

[UnlimitedProdiction1]

Are you talking about Natives history reputation or their reputation now, because I don't think I ever heard a bad thing about Native Americans while learning or reading about them. A matter I respect their ideals of honor because every single contract between colonist and Natives were broken by colonist every single one that's a bitch isn't it

[Naphorse]

yea man Im from canada, and Police still look at alot of us as Enemies and bad people we get pulled over for no reason even tho copz say " ohh Ur back tail light wasnt werking", we have people on our Reserves living like they livin in a third world country, We are below black people But we gunna change that NO more Racism

[UnlimitedProdiction1]

Oh yeah I have a cousin that lives in Canada that told me there were alot of Native americans there. And I feel you with the no more racism thing. I used to live in a little white town in PA where I learned to take people as individuals. Unfortuantley socitey persuasions of certain races doesn't help the cause. Have you noticed good rappers barley get radio time even with all the bitching people do about the bullshit rap? I smell conspiracy

[babiigurlstarr]

i like this song because they tell the truth about whats happening now in america.and whats happenin now is terrible.

[shaqdmx]

Great work man.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Wish to see more videos like that.

[Da1nOnLyGhOsT]

great work and love this song 5 *

[TBinnie305]

Best part

When the empire fall

imagine how crazy that'll be!!!!!!!!!!

[jameswifey84]

this song is so powerful especially these lines "Y'all don't treat women fair

She read about herself in the bible

Believing she the reason sin is here

You played her, with an apron

Like bring me my dinner, dear"

[mavsfan2k4]

soon America will fall if we dont repent from what were doing, thanks for puting the lyrics.

[shonha1]

[SunFund]
