Nas - ILLmatic - The world is yours

[EpicIsBrady]

This is truly the best rap album ever, by one of the best rappers there is.

[DumbBabyRecords]

Check out our TheWorldIsYours_VictoryAnxiety by DumbBaby. Nas vocals and music by DumbBaby. Best remix of this song there is.

[Valtielsamp]

Love the loungey jazz background instrumentals.

[SuMxBoMbR]

TO MA' MAN NAS, GOD BLESS YA' LIFE!



[ZpHiX2]

I've got 7 albums framed on my wall, actual frames behind glass, these 7albums are the only albums I went out an bought, I'm only 16, so they aren't original except 1 from my brother which was illmatic, anyhow, the 7 albums are "Illmatic", "The Calm Before the Storm," "Graduation" Paid In Full," "The 18th Letter," "Food and Liquor," with a spot reserved for "Cole World: The Sideline Story"

[msbunnypaws]

I just heard about some wack ass piece of shit named Tyler The Creator and I had to come here and listen to some REAL quality hip-hop. Shit is so awful nowadays. It's all about shock value and who can be more disgusting. Nothing will be as great as "illmatic" was. Even Nas can't do it again.

[Kurotensity]

@msbunnypaws tyler's one of the more real ones dude, but Nas is some of the best no doubt.

[OneDerinStar]

@Kurotensity how the fuck is tyler real? what are you smoking?

[djteq9]

@msbunnypaws u gotta research Tyler dudes really creative. Theres more to him beyond Yonkers at least check his mate Earl.... watch?v=85LWPy2IH9w&feature=re­lated

[alexxxdamasta187]

This is simply the greatest album ever.

[Ferqiee]

"Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets

Suede Timb's on my feets, makes my cypher, complete"

I now see where Mac Miller gets his inspiration.

[Valtielsamp]

@Ferqiee I hate Mac.

[SzakalPst]

Dziś palę funk i jointa

[MexicanRidah93]

This is why REAL hip hop is amazing, this is what hip hop is about, there is a meaning to every song. I don't like to listen to things like lil wayne or soulja boy cause there is no meaning to there music, i don't hate on them, I mean let them get paid but I like REAL music, and nas is the best hip hop artist

[DGKall2010]

T.H.U.G. 1 if anyone ever played that game on Gcube or ps2 or xbox thumb this up cuz this song was sick to do bigspin back lips too

Hip Hop = Gold. And you have to look hard for gold, if everyone had gold, it'd be worthless.

[lhts1]

109,408 Veiws? Whats Wrong With The World ?

[TicklingNoise]

[jjdaproducer]

Nasir... where did it all go wrong?

[whatifeelnow501]

[Welker541]

[Asolovieff38]

Best money I've spent on an album

[jayjay121990]

youtube search "check my vision" ASAP!!!!!

[mjdghost]

classic

[angeloCOZ]

99,203 (at the time im watching it) is motherfucken bullshit. cant believe in all the people that live in the world only that many have had the pleasure of kickin back and listening to this song while that 15 year old bitch bieber gets 100mil+. i swear if i ever saw that guy id push my way through the millions of idiots who wanna see him and through his body guards entourage just to give him the back hand slap from fucken hell

[nimasag1]

@angeloCOZ i agree. im only 15 and i know what rap should be like. none of this stupid stuff people listen to now. i started listening to rap when i was 6 lol. a week ago they were playing the justin beaver shit on the stereo at our school. they had a ipod plugged into some speakers. i took that ipod out and put some real rap on. it went good till the rapper said FUCK and i got in trouble haha

[chocthunda85]

@angeloCOZ LOL u funny, but i hear ya. Cats like LiL Brother, Mobb Deep, Mos Def, Talib, Common get minimal hits on youtube while mainstream BS gets all the hits

[MrDefinition0]

@angeloCOZ I dream about that everyday.... FUCK MTV

[jimmyhayers]

@angeloCOZ The reason nobody watches it on here is cos they all have the album haha

[angeloCOZ]

@jimmyhayers haha if only that was true id die a happy man

[debel101]

people are saing this is old schoo. no its not its real school. this is what real hiphop his. just because the homos today dont know how to rap dosnt mean this is old school . Death to crunk and autotune

[pride33]

@debel101

yeah you right... oldschool happened about a decade before this... this might be titled as trueschool or golden era or whatever peops like to call it... none the less this is one of my favorite albums ever... lyrics and prodution so strong... nas never did this trick again...

[DownwindDude]

@pride33 Truth is, this shit was so good, he can't do "this trick" again.

[dinosore9]

nas used to keep it real...

[shegwin]

@dinosore9 true, i love nas and all but forreal illmatic - it was written, im sorry but that aint a follow up sophomore attempt. kanye west late registration = good follow up attempt. jay-z's blueprint/american gangster, pretty great subsequent releases. but it was written, somewhat i am, and definitely nastradamus, i dont even think stillmatic was that great, sub par at best. its hard for nas to go back to his illmatic roots u cant do another album like that again

[310stanger]

it blows me away that he made this when he was what, 19?

[et6yEhzxexzhrz]

@310stanger I'm starting to think that hip hop, like drum 'n' bass, will never ever be as good (perfection perhaps?) as it was in the 90's. There was so much unbelievable creativity. The musical atmosphere was crazy.

[mwn213]

This is not only one of the greatest hip hop songs, but arguably the greatest New York rap song ever. And I dare say that unlike "Empire State of Mind", which definitely screams New York City, "The World is Yours" BLEEDS New York City. This song is more of a NYC anthem and more legendary than "Empire State of Mind" can ever be (or should ever be). Thank you, Mr. Jones.

[TeetsAreOn]

@mwn213 nice from you.

[Mr1brownprid3]

dam if i had 1 wish i would go back to tha 90's when real rap was at its best even chicano rap was at its best,but nows its pure junk

[rushtallica33]

whenever i hear this it reminds me of the tony hawk underground series

[shaunyd1234]

I love this song so much I'm getting The World Is Yours tattooed

[kornr76]

@shaunyd1234 lol

[shegwin]

@shaunyd1234 i suggest not doing that, i suggest getting a line from the song, otherwise if you get the world is yours, itll look like ur some sort of mafioso scarface lover lol. i dont even think rae would do that shit man lol.

[shaunyd1234]

@shegwin touche...

[HobbsInRoM]

Some kid at my school said lil wayne is best rapper and nas sucks...fuckin idiot

[kornr76]

@HobbsInRoM skeet on is eyeball

[Rwake1]

@HobbsInRoM literally most kids in my school love lil wayne. they wear lil wayne shirts and hats exc. its bull shit they dont know a real lyricist. all they care about is beats and a catchy chorus. that aint real rap. an the rappers today all they rap aboout is drugs money and women.

[DamnIwannafck232]

@Rwake1 yeai fell you... in my school its lil wayne mania he a wack ass rapper i dont even consider his music, music...

[MrChrisi98]

thug  LoL

i love this song

[eeyokah]

first time I heard this song was in a skate(inline) video in the late 90's.I have to up it later.

[1337ballin]

The only bad thing about this song is that it has to end...

[MCSLYJ]

they dont make hits and albums like this anymore. DAMN hip hop is dying

[ACRYLoSAURUS]

@MCSLYJ ---> Check Fashawn , Diamond District or Supastition! Hip Hop is ill but not dead and the virus is called lil wayne etc. and auto-tune! greets from germany.

[MCSLYJ]

@ACRYLoSAURUS Do you rap?

[YourFavouriteVideos]

it already died

[majkuLUZ]

sample name ? anyone?

[RiKuDoSeNnIn316]

the devils world

[tjber302]

i miss real rappers

[bzurvalec]

@tjber302 Yeah, the 90s truly were the golden age of hip-hop. Nas, Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang...I could go on forever. Frankly, music IN GENERAL sucks nowadays. I don't know exactly what happened, but there's just NOTHING going on right now. Whether we're talking about hip-hop, rock or whatever, the current state of music is really sad.

[MasterrFlamaster]

@bzurvalec

Not true...

jazz, after disgusting eighties, is gettin' back to live

[b1acksa1nt]

@tjber302 they still out there man, but you just won't find them on TV, because THEY control television, and as long as THEY have control of it, THEY won't allow people to enlighten by real stuff. y u think they got all these "reality' TV shows?

[soundificator]

oldschool :) THe best..

Todays crap is crap

[Lucindalululick]

@soundificator well said rap used to be awesome but sad little cunts took it over and ruined it

[GhostHitSkater]

a hip-hop gem

[barksdalestash]

no doubt...every time i listen to this album it is like the first time...incredible

[airic554]

fuckin love nas. bumpin the illmatic never gets old..

"wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets. suede timbs on my feets, makes my, cypher, complete"

[Flintcityboy99]

@airic554

[TTAM27hipHOP]

[1lifestyle]

[fddf44]

@1lifestyle

[vinchenzi]

'i need a new n***** for this black cloud to follow cos while its over me its to hard to see tomorrow'. im black but i dont like saying the 'n' word anymore.

@URdadROXmySOX Excellent question....

[Meeriio]

I'm out for dead presidents to represent me

- Nasir 'Nas' Jones

[barrjail]

i love nas and his style. word life he spits da real and dont lack shit. being born in 71 ive heard and lived through the real age when hip-hop was HIP-HOP! word iz bond.

[ilovefrankandbeans]

this song is too sick...real shit

[getmoneystayreal]

dopeness!

[sedlaaay]

aww, he was a cute lil boy(:

i hear that this album(illmatic) was 1 of the best in hiphop albuums, i agree; even tho jay&nas make new albums nothing can compare 2 the 1's they made from back in the days. btw jay took thee dead president part.(:

[Nutterbutterz95]

@sedlaaay He also took the "NY state of Mind" part. Of course, he changed it to "Empire", but of course he ripped it off.

[sedlaaay]

yea, but if you listen 2 a song called mahogany by eric b. & rakim u'll eventually find out that nas took the n.y state of mind from them, but that dusz'nt change the fact that they aren't great artists.. soo either way they all borrow 4rm thee best.

[shegwin]

@Nutterbutterz95 hey man i can understand if u hate jay, but jay aint that bad, yeah his blueprint 3 shit is pretty whack but other than that hes a pretty good rapper. and ripping on jay for taking the name of ny state of mind, well nas kinda took the world is yours from scarface.

[enitsirhc10203]

@shegwin hip hop has always borrowed from other genres of music. its sampling. that along with disk scratching is missing from new age hiphop. this song here heavily contains both elements. its not just good lyrics thats missing from most modern day rap

[shegwin]

@enitsirhc10203 ? Idk what you're trying to tell me, I know about old school production. I was commenting on nutter butter on how he thought jay was a little bitch for allgedly stealing nas' song name, which in its own right is taken from a billy joel song.  And for the record, it's not cd scratching( that would fuck up your cd) it's turntable scratching or just scratching.

[Zaih84]

love this shit on tony hawk

[daydan52]

I Sip the don P watching Gaundi till im charged

[sedlaaay]

[husman]

just one of the best tracks ever,

everything's perfect

[TheLaughingMan69]

Such a damn classic. Love this song more every time I hear it. If ever there was a definition of Hip-Hop, this would be apart of it big time.

[IProphetI]

nas lost, but u here listening to his shit... oh but the cowboys lost bitch....AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH them fuckin suck ass niggas

[BigYBootyDaddy0]

Jay put out the best diss. Nas put out the best comeback.

For the record, Jay does quote in a song, "Ether made me stronger"

[dmny214]

yeah man I know, I'm just fuckin' with the NaS heads a little their so fuckin' predictable except u of course. I love NaS's and Jay-Z's music both. their both living legends, and my iPod is feel with their music. Just a harmless joke. thank you for being open minded.

[MrKennyWilliams]

Who gave a shit which nigga won, We got good music out of both of them, Let's just be glad about that.

[dmny214]

i agree totally man, it was just a joke

[reignman4]

Aaaaaa now this is what I need. Time to get my hoodie, headphones and take a long walk with this tune in my ears.

[Bojoxz52]

[vashthestampede2008]

@Bojoxz52 True indeed

[KidFunkyFry15]

Pete Rock was nailing Nas baby momma and Nas got wind of this and thats why they dont work together anymore.....damn that sucks.
