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.
@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.
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 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.
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....
@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.
@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
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 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...............
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.
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
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.
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....
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

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
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.
@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...
