  • I'm gonna see you again...nigga (nigga)!

  • just found another nas classic :)

  • UNDERRATED

  • Outstanding storytelling and an excellent track

  • ClassiC¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • One of the realest songs he ever wrote

  • Im mad I didn't understand what he was saying when I used to listen to him in highschool

  • Onar - powrót do treści !

  • This is a DEEP song.

  • @dvharris75 most of all of his songs are deep......listen to that Nigger Album

  • More than a rap less than a story

  • As a white guy I can say people like Nas, Eminem and Tupac really make rap great. Honestly nowadays rap sucks and its becoming pop and stuff. These guys actually tell stories and stuff. I dont really like the gang talk and stuff but thats the way it is. People just chill and enjoy the greatness.

  • @tarekfett nas is above tupac and eminem. lyrical genius

  • True Street poet, he paints a picture of the streets. Nas is on a completely different level than other rappers.

  • got large sign on da door dont knocc hard lol

    hood chit

  • I can't believe I used to listen to this bullshit in jr. high lol. If my kid listened to shit like this.. u dont wanna know

  • @seonfox This? You dont like this?

  • One of my favorite stories ever from the master story teller. Nas is the best!

  • Slept on album

  • YO I SWEAR YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST VISION THE WHOLE 1ST VERSE LIKE YOU WATCHING A MOVIE.

  • @Su006 im suprised it isnt on netflix

  • @Su006 exactly!!!!!

  • @Su006 thats like almost every nas song lol. "undying love, the message, get down" are more songs where you really can really picture it all happening.

  • @Su006 i know man this is just pure poetry

  • @Su006 That's what makes Nas so great. He gives you a whole movie in his 3 minute tracks unlike anyone.

  • I thought this was his second best after Illmatic. I still bump this shit!

  • Fuckin underrated album

  • ppl say this was a horrible album because of the single. they made him make a commercial song..

  • i see 7 dislikes? how could you dislike this CLASSIC track? beat is crazy and the message in this song... come on people, this is hip hop at it's finest

  • this song is wavey hw can NaS say "Two of his mans with him I got to hit em

    I'm reaching for my roscoe cocked it back on and get my blast on

    at the gas station bunch of Arabs racing" lol esco always comes da hardest + i am had some certified anthems on it

  • Comment removed

  • This album wasn't a masterpiece like the last 2 he did. But dam it still has a handful of classics.

  • Beat was produced by Nasheim Myrick

  • its sampled from Zulema Cusseaux ''Love To Last Forever''

  • This wasn't a bad album. But didn't live up to Illmatic or It Was Written. That being said, if this album hadn't been so heavily bootlegged this would've been Nas' third straight classic album. This was supposed to be a double album but because of bootlegs Nas had to go back to the lab and you get the finished product. Which is a dope album. Not doo like Jay-Z suggested.

  • to be honest jayz is amazing give him props but nas is the best ever

  • she tried 2 rob me. lol

  • I AM ALBUM IS 4,5 OF 5.

    NAS IS LIKE = TOP 5

  • most ppl that dont like nas say "hes too deep and hes too serious for me"

    doesnt mean theyre dumb hip hop fans...just some ppl prefer relaxing mindless music....i can understand that, they dont get in the mood for deep shit....let em b.....i like both kinds of music, depends on my mood....but no one can deny nas has the illest lyrical flow and content......man ilove when the beat switches up....

  • 7 people got rolled on at the gas station wit a roscoe haha

  • "Sign on his door, 'don't knock hard'"....my dude make movies in ya mind!

  • you 4got about k i s s i n g

  • Stop hatin on HOV he is a beast!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nobody disses Nas because no one can. Jay punk ass Z tried and failed. and definantly 50 got fucked up as well.

  • He gave me goosebumps and I got sun burn, shit burns cause he's fire.

  • Jay-Z for the hoes, radio and clubs

    Nas for real hip hop

    I Am is sick classic..

  • such a f**kn classic album.. excuse my french.. this is my Nas..

  • Comment removed

  • this was his best album

  • @drewgilchrist

    son, little man, boy, kid, check it

    ILLMATIC was his best.

  • @IslamIstheWayforMe Everybody got they own opinion

  • I don't mean to sound like a hater but that nigga Jay-Z has nothing on NAS period.

  • @juicemane59 you aint hating, you just like what's the best...and thats nas baby

  • @juicemane59 I agree. Jay Z could never be above Nas. The only thing saving Jay is the money , spotlight , and the rest. And i ain't hating , I like Jay too. But Nas is a true gift to hip hop music.

  • @tralokism

    Jay Z is very average compared to Nas

    Nas , Rakim , Biggie - true heavyweights

  • @tralokism TRUE

  • @juicemane59 shut the fuck up dumb ass they squashed the beef a long time ago. not only do you sound like a hater, but you sound like a dick rider on top of that. and i dont know which one is worse, being a hater or a dick rider. they're both sick emcees in their own right.

  • @GioCampana What !! calm the fuck down you lame ass nigga. My comment said nothing about hating on Jay-z so you need to chill out nigga.Nothing I said was "hate" or overstated ,but based on lyrical content, I never say jay wasn't a good emcee, but he's not on nas level.And jugding from the number "thumbs up" it sounds like more than a few people agree with me so FUCK YOU nigga!!

  • @GioCampana And as far as me being a dick rider, Nigga please, But you 're the one getting all butt hurt over some innocent comment that i made about Jay-Z and NAS 2 months ago, So who's the dick rider now? you little fuck nigga. So the next time that you feel the urge to comment on something I wrote, that YOU took out of context maybe you should check yourself son

  • Nas spitting the fucking truth man

    he spits the shit masons know but does it in a subtle ass way man...hes not a sellout like the other niggas in the game

    he keeps it real man

    much respect

  • blunts were her hobby

  • why do people say i am was a bad album?? ghetto prisoners, we will survive, i wanna talk to you, undying love, small world, n.y. state of mind part 2, hate me now, nas is like????

  • @aobb223 all this shit is classic............best story teller!!!

  • @aobb223  I am is a classic!

  • @aobb223 don't forget dr. knockboot :)

    

  • @23viktor23 yea i forgot favor for a favor too lol

  • @aobb223 i agree with u brother, this album is a classic to me, and better yet this album is way better than any albums jay-z he ever did period...............

  • @aobb223

    that's my favourite album of Nasir

  • ppl who say this was a bad album are idiots. Probably my 2nd fav nas album behind stillmatic. I love all his albums, but I find myself still listening to this one and stillmatic today more than the others. Thats what a great album is, one that you are still listening to 10-20 yrs later.

  • @aobb223 WHAT?! youve actually seen people writing those comments? thats crazy..

  • @aobb223 you forgot K-I-S-S-I-N-G :D

  • @aobb223

    Hate me now , SUCKS.

  • 6 people are midgets and think its a big world.

  • I love it!

  • i remember this shit from highschool, i used to bump this back in the day

    ]

  • this is Nas best storytelling song. It plays out like a mob movie in my head. Like you can already picture a small movie and or a crazy video. And this is one of Timbalands greatest beats. Top 5 favorite Nas song easy

  • @Krow133 i agree except this is produced by Nashiem Myrick and Carlos Broady. not timbo

  • Straight , Just Me ;D...

  • see no evil, fear no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil this some real shit nas speakin tha truth

  • @Ant18730 REALTALK if u dont bring that shit around u u got nothin worry about

  • No question Nas is a great MC. Nas problem was never flows or lyrics. Nas problem has and still is production. I think this album is great because of Nas no dought but the beats are sweet as hell also. Production is Nas biggest problem.

  • @phil1980boy

    yeah the producers are scared to make beats for nas. cuz he just KILLS every beat he gets.

  • This Track fucking Rides all the way through just like the album.

  • summer of '99 i was ten years old bumping this

  • I find it funny that lyrically content men's

  • Good music can't be defined by how many records you sell, if that's the case Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer would be the greatest of all time. NAS is one of them for sure, Hov is a great artist but NAS is like a breathe of fresh air, Jayz can never tell a story like this, NAS is an all around MC he can do everything....

  • ITS A SMALL WORLD, YOU GET AWAY WITH IT NOW, SOONER LATER IT CATCHES UP TO YOU SOMEWAY SOMEHOW - ESCO 98'

  • @captainCNB '99

  • why do people hate on I Am... album? it had many great songs like this one...

  • Damn, I remember so much how real is rap music, can u hear that ? Why people is not interested anymore on this kind of rap ? I miss so much this real rap positive style from Nas instead of the shake it thing going on nowdays.

    It just takes you feel on this world, the real world , get it ? this clubing thing is just a fun thing to have for a while, real n*/z know what Im talking bout, keep doing you

  • My shit

  • This was my first rap CD I ever bought. I pumped this shit when I was like 10 haha I got it taken away from me so much because I played it over my big stereo in my room. My mom hated the profanity so she bought me a CD Player with headphones just so I could listen by myself wherever I go haha

  • this is a banger...cold piece of work...small world for real

  • 1 of QUEENS NYC GODZ..7* 5% NIQQAZ!

  • This shit is crazy, and it still bangs.The beat compliments Nas's flow.One of my fav Nas joint's."NewYork,NewYork"."Sho­ut out to "QueensBridge".

  • best lyricist hell ya

  • is the riff sampled?

  • luv this kid

  • Still neva get tired of peepin' this track... def a tight storyteller and lethal on the lyrics. Yeah, no contest in my eyes between Nas and Wayne.  Two different levels altogether. Ill joint.

  • timbo beats in his prime

  • @ScottyPimpnn

    That aint timbo you dummie

  • @hypnotize81banks

    so who did this beat then?

    you can clearly hear his voice on the beat

  • @ScottyPimpnn nah if you know limbo you know thats not his voice. Same affect but it's not timbo. It'd be better if you wikipediad it. I know not the most professional reference but they're accurate in this case...

  • @Capothekid what am i supposed to look up in wikipedia?

    who made this beat? does anyone know for sure?

    my GUESS was that it was timberland but i dont know for sure

  • @ScottyPimpnn ....it wasn't timberland that produced this though...

  • one of my favorite tracks

  • wayne got nothing on this man

  • @MrRapid47 dont bring that guys name up on this kind of track.

  • Lil wanye Can't Fuck What This

  • 4 fags

  • SICK BEAT. SICK LYRICS. PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • NAS!

  • NaS is so underrated it aint even funny. He could sweep away any "rapper" these days in a heartbeat.

    NaS said it best. Hip Hop is dead.

  • just a amazing song

  • One of the most underrated Nas song there is..

  • instrumental anyone

  • My king.

  • My childhood album right here, baby!

  • Nas is Like remix /watch?v=5K8y5PsmywE

  • i be lookin up nas song titles and downloading them without even listening, i know its good so why even bother? i let my ipod surprise me

  • @andyeminem23 ahaa i remember when i was at that phase, just discovering nas! i miss those days now...

  • @95PW i discovered nas years ago, and yet theres still so much more to discover

  • @andyeminem23 well yeah i knew of him before that but when i started downloading music and everything

  • I dont know why the fuck people call Jay-Z the best rapper...this nigga Nas is the TRUTH....Best rapper hands down!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Geebaby84 jay z have the world! :) he is good! i cant tell the best but nas isnt the best too! :) there are so many good rappers out there... :)

  • @GrYmoTrqS trust me Nas is in the Top 3.

    Jay z is the #1 copyin biting MC here check this out watch?v=bED9wMqQ1i8&list=PL047­B599FC6EE5727

  • @Geebaby84  AGREED!!!!!!!!

  • @Geebaby84 CHECK OUT ..."NEVER LET YOU PLAY ME ON MY PAGE....REAL HIP HOP...BELIEVE!!!

  • @Geebaby84 yessss....hands down!!!!

  • @Geebaby84 There's no Jay-Z Nas beef and maybe there never was. Nas is deep but Jay-Z rules the club playlists, that's just how it is.

  • @Taospark Jay-z is fake ass hell !!!

  • @kutkinderen especially that NY NY song, sounding like he's got some kind of speech impediment.

  • @TalonNL999 Jay-z have not even a soul he is also a atheist
