probably lil wayne fans

[nounounette1979]

Pour arrêter dissing sur mon nas négro comme ça. La raison pour laquelle il n'est pas gros non plus n'est pas becuz il n'est pas bon, c'est parce qu'il n'a jamais vendu comme gay-z et tous les autres rappeurs nouvelle maintenant stfu

[BrotherSkillz]

Man i luv the new album With damian marley

[blarrybadazz]

@BrotherSkillz dat album isold now, but a good one nonetheless

[BrotherSkillz]

[BrotherSkillz]

@blarrybadazz Distant relatives? man it come out in late 2010 what u on about its still new

[NicBruno131]

To stop dissing on my nigga nas like that. The reason he ain't big no more ain't becuz he ain't good, it's because he never sold out like gay-z and all them other new rappers now stfu

[sicosismusic]

[dudesonman4200]

@sicosismusic

You learn to read. I was just saying that this is tight and he had other shit after illamtic that still blows 99% of everything else outta the water.

[sicosismusic]

@PAOKMAGEIA The song in the beginning is Nas - The Message off "It Was Written". lil Zane did a good cover as well called "Ways of The World".

But Nas is the man

[adrock50]

[barnikopter]

@jordaneperez  the sample is from Sting's 'shape of my heart' , don't know about NAS's version though

[Starwins]

Wow, I almost forgot there were real rappers, rapping about real issues.

[ZiLLYisDope]

[roflgoodgame]

[mythmaster83]

Whats the song from the begining????

[fritobandito94]

@mythmaster83 It's called "the message," get it. its one of his top 10 songs in my opinion

[weshabenisha]

loved it then, love it now...

[OsoLoco40]

If I ruled the world

Imagine that

We'd have hemp farms everywhere

Love it Love it Baby

[TheGuanacoloc]

this is real hip hop not this new bullshit kids listening now n days. nas go so hard in this song.

[tommason1984]

This song = Bliss

[tubinisfun21]

Naz, Tribe Called Quest, Grand Puba, Busta Rhymes, aahh the 90's! Lil Wayne, Gucce, Mane, Yung everyone, too many "yung" whatevers to count. What the hell happened? Listen to these lyrics, it used to mean something to have a message! Not get tatted up and pop bottles all day. I cannot stand lil wayne's "contribution"- all these girls wercklessly get preggers by him; all that money and looks like he needs a bath!

[TheSpinstress]

@tubinisfun21 I agree- I too grew up with real hip hop, dj's, real lyrical rappers, and a tolerable top 40 selection. Now i cant even turn the radio on. Lil Wayne has no skills at all... lets put him in the ring with Twista,Fugees, Busta, Tribe, JayZ, Nas, anyone hell Lauren Hill; he would look like an idiot. He's not even on that level. None of these corporate garbage rappers they are brainwashing everyone with know anything about hip hop or they would refrain from releasin such bs-sad! . :)

[dizkoducky]

what's the name of the song that intro's on this video?

[djfinger4]

@dizkoducky the message

[tommason1984]

@dizkoducky Nas - The Message. Such a deep track pure genius ;-)

[whistlerontheroof]

If I ruled the world, I'd free all my sons.

[ludachris7999]

@whistlerontheroof im only 15 but i feel ur pain

[stacerobin1]

check out CYNE. They are sick legit

[GuttahModel]

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALLED HIP HOP .

REAL MUSIC

[giodmx313]

why would you dislike this video? please respond :)

[nunam0n]

@giodmx313 - reckon it's the wack rappers of today. they come on utube, check the vid, go back to base n try to replicate and fail miserably.

no point in naming names but i thinks we all know who they are...

[TheLankey1]

@giodmx313 its most probs the fake rappers of today with no soul (in there music that is) e.g. lil wayne, drake guci mane etc....

[MrBlackfish011]

lauryn should have dropped a verse that would be so dope

[bunnygrl]

what happened to real rap nowadays?

[rrrjjjmmm100]

real hip-hop is thought out not spit out!!!

[goku27son]

GOD DAM!!! what happen to real hip hop like this with real meaning in the lyrics!!!!!!

[b4con94]

@goku27son ermm Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Sage Francis have this down.

[GGGIKOE]

@goku27son idunno man it's a shame hip hop isn't what it was like before.

[goku27son]

@GGGIKOE I know now we have candy abc rappers.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@goku27son back in 96 this was concidered commercial dribble actually.

[goku27son]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 this is wayyyyy better than music today. Look at what we have now pure trash shit.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@goku27son maybe but still u have way to much respect for the classics. u cnt get past the fact tht music today doesn sound like its 94. not everything tht came out of the ninties was golden. for every pac there is an mc hammer.

[uwldluvme21]

I dnt see how ppl cant debate jay z ova NAS .... smh cum on ppl wake the fck up

[Nina513]

One of the greatest songs of Hip Hop history......

Period...

[DynamiteT]

They need to do a new tune for Nas's new album, where is Lauryn?

[Amerikasnxt]

[jimmyjamzit1]

"life, I wonder, will it take Me under, I don't know...If I ruled the world, Imagine that..."

[1976tech]

@jimmyjamzit1 It sounds life took him over when he meet that chick. but he will bounce back.

[blackmurcery]

oohhh my god! i have been searching for this forever. i miss all the great music created in the good old days

[Master553300]

[azy123bob]

[Vash1286]

[abagabuildng]

Hip-Hop is alive as long as Nas is alive!

[cut2damoney]

[fagottolo]

[GoGetterFS]

@fagottolo The Message

[fagottolo]

@GoGetterFS Grazie mille :)

[TheNikkiWatches]

[JOaRiDrAN55]

@TheNikkiWatches if i ruled the world

[nastynegotiatior]

35 people know they will never rule the world

[Ladybugatnaf]

@hangheeeels how did it do that

[thewright1974]

Lauryn Hill and Nas the BEST.

[mostbrillz]

lauren hill the best

[btaappp]

imagine how popular this would be if rihanna or beyonce sung it

[GeorgiaPeach87]

@btaappp are you serious. it would be SHIT. Lauryn is doper than Beyonce and Rihanna

[roopdogg562]

@GeorgiaPeach87

Am I right or am i right? :D lmao

[roopdogg562]

@btaappp

nahh I mean the song would blow up but nahh

Real talent is Whitney Houston ,Lauryn Hill, ALICIA KEYS personal favorite<3 =]

[majestik815]

@btaappp beyonce sucks ass. 

[AGDAKING]

This is the Hip Hop I fell in love with. Before rappers saw big dollars they just had a passion for it.. Nowadays they wanna get signed for the money and theres no respect for the art.

[M0N3Y6]

@AGDAKING I F33L U CUH THATZ SUM TRU SHIT

[0181J]

@AGDAKING One love man. Smoke the kush if youre a 90's baby.

[SangpourPlaisir]

@AGDAKING My exact sentiments. Also it's much more musical and cohesive: it's not just a bunch of jibberish until they get to the chorus which usually has nothing to do with the rest of the song, like it's now. It was all downhill after like '99. I remember having a super crush on NAS when i was 12. ehehehehe. HOw time has flown by!

[SiaMaat]

@SangpourPlaisir I love it "jibberish" -- that's exactly what it is. No soul in a lot of music today. I'm sure the artists have it but don't display it. I will give Jay-Z this, what he said in his WSJ: no love, emotion in music today.

[fritobandito94]

@SiaMaat yo thats well put by Jay Z, but he kinda switched his style to a little more mainstream lately, where's the old Jay Z at?

[SiaMaat]

@SangpourPlaisir I love it "jibberish" -- that's exactly what it is. No soul in a lot of music today. I'm sure the artists have it but don't display it. I will give Jay-Z this, what he said in his WSJ article: no love, emotion in music today.

[adamcooper81]

@AGDAKING theres still a lot a good tunes.........just gotta dig a bit deeper to find it

[mundane9141]

You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[jerZchic]

Damn, Summer '96...hella good year for music!!! Reminds me of summertime in the NYC!

[pr3ttitatti93]

one life one love so there can only be one king !

[wikedwun]

Best Nas song ever!!!

[solakaboy]

the intro song is called;

the message - nas

[bria74]

if i rule yhe world i kill young money

[koerdowmaster]

/watch?v=pFWNTWcofcI

[90mv]

nahh man i need to hear nas and Lauryn rhyme on the same track in my lifetime

[Rapaholic1527]

fav

[kkboom01]

I hope nas and lauryn hill make a collaboration again... and i think it is possible.

[jrn51392]

How can someone not like this song? This is one of the best rap songs ive ever heard n no disrespect to Pac, B.I.G., and all the other greats, but i jus dont see how anyone can compare nas to them. Hes lyrically on a whole different level, which allows him to have good flow n hav original ideas any time he raps

[mirino55]

yeaaaah old school

[marcotferrer]

what song was playing before If I Ruled the World?

[DJFREAK82]

@marcotferrer .. The Message

[marcotferrer]

whats the song that was playing before "If I Ruled the World"?

[Jaymerr95]

@marcotferrer The Message

[cheydee]

They should become a group..a duo

[Oh4werd]

Support feel good music. Im not worried about subs I jus want to give ppl more options than what you'll get on the radio

Any kind of feedback is appreciated..its called constructive criticism

[hotaugust78]

goose bumps everytime, you feel me.

[morenaso1]

WHAT SONG WAS THAT IN THE BEGINNING?

[TheSupremeJuan]

@morenaso1 Nas - The Message...one of the greatest songs of our time. Go now and educate yourself....now.

[morenaso1]

@TheSupremeJuan While I educate myself maybe you should get some humility and etiquette.

[morenaso1]

@TheSupremeJuan Besides it sounds more like Englishman in New York by Sting sampled

[TheSupremeJuan]

@morenaso1 I see you failed class. And for future reference humility is for the people who don't hold the answers my friend. You asked for the song, I gave it to ya. You should be more thankful for my voluntary act of kindness and not dwell so long on the (surely minor) sting of my audacity.

[Nomorehataz]

Finally, some real music

Thumbs down all u want fools, at least i can feel tha base

[MrBlackfish011]

I always wait for Lauryn to start rapping, but then I remember she doesn't spit on this one

[pabznj1988]

this song is timeless it will always be relevant because of the message it sends

@pabz
