[nichole609]

NEW YORK BABYYYY love it

[WiseWordz]

I love the way the beat starts to break down at 2:30 and i imagine someone talking over that part saying "Ladies and gentlemen i present to you the greatest of all time....NAS!"

[cibida1]

@WiseWordz lol well put

[nike00187]

Poison!! Now thats what you call a collabo...murder on the track

[TheEsquire212]

This was on that steam coming from the Con-Ed manhole on a rainy Friday night late summer jumpoff. My NYC heads know what I mean.

[MsMzkiki]

ayee this song right here only Mary j can do that it

[jojoda4thnigga]

I love the bob james sample!

[RICOG71]

Good stuff ..that the sound mary does best..

[matick]

My brain automatically inserts a Funk Flex bomb at the beginning of Nas' verse. Just after "chip-toothed don".

[charlita25]

love this song the rack is sick

[MrCocky]

No one can flo better than Nas when he's spittin like this!!!!!

[SexxyLoveable]

Love flows all thru this track.... so sweet

[ANUPTAH]

THIS will always be bangin! IT'S just that TODAY they won't let black singers HAVE SOUL[sound black] in the mainstream LIKE MARY and others did. IF they do,TODAY the MESSAGE or MUSIC is WACK. THIS multi-cultural crap is garbage!

[josj15]

@ANUPTAH yes! well said! they took the soul aspect out of RNB its a shame!

[htownhomie06]

yeah, this should've made the first version of the Mary album -- easily!

[htownhomie06]

[Sameolg100]

Damn!

[therealslimshady009]

This track still goes hard

[holdmydrinkbitch]

DEATH TO THE AUTOTUNE!

[Mohamed81]

GR8 sample.

DMX's rap, the song couldn't have started better...

Mary's RAW vocals... the adlibs...

NAS' rap too...

A gem.

[TheInfamousDior]

I'm sorry but there is NO FEMALE on the planet earth that ride a beat like Mary with soulful vocals. She aint the QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL for no reason. This song is a classic! I LOVE HER!!!!!

[holdmydrinkbitch]

@TheInfamousDior  ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!

[Forgemno]

@TheInfamousDior welll hold it, im from bk and i remember lauryn hill was the same level for a minute...

[diontet22]

Dag X & Mary killed this joint!!!!!!!! This song is hot fire and, X hit my feelings on the noise. WHOO NAS that was some shit boy; he killed his verse too. Great song dag, dag, dag, dag, dag!

[ash5starchick]

THIS JOINT GOES HARD!!

[OZilla612]

i really need to cop that 2 disc Mary album, just for this joint

[ESong35]

@OZilla612 unfortunately this was only International release. WTF right? If they made a video for this song think I would have lost it

[coolymac]

HOT UNDERGROUND MARY SHIT! NYC STAND UP

[holdmydrinkbitch]

I dont hear the desperation in her voice as much anymore. God i love Mary.

[nwahs75]

@holdmydrinkbitch You don't hear it because it's not there anymore. She eating too good now, so she has NOTHING to feel pain about.

[WILL19631982]

This  is Hip-Hop soul!!!...only Mary

[koolkidnc]

This is one of the hottest lost tracks ever .....not alot of people even heard this....they went hard on this!!

[nwahs75]

@koolkidnc I agree, BUT you know who else goes IN and has never really been heard? Jodeci on that 'I'm still waiting JEEP MIX'. You can find it on here, the beat is CRAZY... Puff did his THING with those cats back in the day.

[Tucia87]

beautiful.. i would have wished that she would do the same music she made before. now hip hop is going to die.

[grams2grammys]

omg nas's verse is so dirty. fuckin killin em pops

[dsunshinelives]

True indeed, Mary is the queen for so many reasons , she has a soulful enriched voice and she is the truth , she does not sugar coat her life so people can relate to her, i wish DMX the best , he is on a self hating water path beyond being a rebel. I was amazed when I met him back in the day and found out that he truly talks like the way he rhymes , he is a wild guy, he needs to rethink his ways and know that he is a rare gem that shines without darkness!!!!

[illtemp1]

@bmoremc Yea dats whats up exactly how i feel about it

[lauja010]

Empire State Of Mind:Sincerity Beat Sounds the same....

[illtemp1]

i wqas lookin 4 luv then young n dumb

[illtemp1]

[Sn0fl0]

the drum beat reminds me of Empire state of mind eh

[pellepellecorps]

on some real shit.. i like the 90's mary j blige better . because her voice was young and raw.. sure people said she couldnt sing , but it wasnt that.. its just that it was brand new and raw

[Coolie7]

[illmaticnika11490]

i was born in 1990 i was given life in an era when rap hip hop and r&b was genuine and str8 from the heart feel me but now its like i cant fuken listein to the radio for more den 2 seconds n the shit bores me no offense to anyone from the south but their music doesnt appeal to me at all da only 2 artist i can actually stand for some weird reason is drake n sumtimes n i mean sumtimes wayne buh otha than that i can only listein to this all day....hip hop in its darkest days...

[Jaylectronica]

WE need the instrumental...

[KeilaD88]

wow this track takes me back when hot97 WAS hot97 and the 6th grade. wow good f-ing memories! how time flies.

[az718843illa]

I know! I remember this hit, clue bumped it for like a whole week straight on his program! Real r&b hip-hop!

[jmass04]

very true; we were lucky to grow up with this music...takes me back to nyc and brooklyn around 1999.

[TackyD]

YES!!! That is the truth and I feel the same exact way too, I feel sorry for the youngin's, they really missed out on a phenomenal time period of when GOOD & REAL Rap/Hip-Hop & R&B was being made... If they grew up when we did they'd be complaining too about today's music just the same.

I'd say from the late 80 - '02 was when artists made songs for the love of it and to make GOOD songs and NOTHING else! Man I miss the good ol' days, that's why I made this YouTube Channel for you guys & me.

[godofthisshit]

@TackyD

We had better music but they have better opportunity. So it weighs out.

[legalgirl2003]

@jmass04 AGREED missing the Good NY sh*t nothing can compare...NOTHING...Nada!!!

[KarmaUntouchable]

@jmass04 yea I am real glad I was around for this, 1999 I was still living in Brooklyn at 11 years old. Listening to Mary's music at times kept me sane, and through all the pain I went thorough in my lie. She is the best ever.

[Forgemno]

[shockproof83]

Hey..the cymbals in the background...isn't that Dj Premier's beat he made for Group Home's song Ina Citty life?? The one where he samples Nas on the chorus saying "I excell...then prevail" The little sounds are scary in a good way though! Great song, what album is it on? I first heard this 5 minutes ago on Nas' lost tapes album!

[kingpinvov]

That was the Group Home song he used it on.

[caramella831]

[kevindeane1]

I didn't produce this song.... Kenny " Smoove" Kornegay produced this one. I did "Deep Inside"... the one with Elton John.

[TackyD]

My bad (I read the CD wrong), I was just trying to give credit where it was due... I put up that info so the people will know who was the genius who produced the track... Thanks for the info.

[kevindeane1]

not a problem. I like to give credit where it's due also. Also I don't want Kenny to crawl up my

behind with a microscope for taking credit for his song! lol

[g35shawty]

The fuckin Queen hands down. True hip hop Queen. Respect your royal highness

[wadeeah456]
