    ►CarmaMusic - Acoustic Rapper◄ Something different; guitar + rap.

    Appreciate any comments etc.

  • My fav joint on the album! This was my fav Nas joint period for a minute!

  • theres 2 versions of this song. i had one where the pianos were similar in melody but different. both are dope.

  • @metooblueshoes Yeah, I like the bootleg version better, but both are hot.

  • stop all the arguing and just enjoy the music, If you dont like it then find something you like. Simple.

  • @ClayDavisSE19 Well said!

  • i like this vedio so much i want to cry

  • @MrAD2406 see if people made sure nobody let ignorant shit like what you said slide in conversation people might stop thinkin it's cool to be racist but I see now that you don't use normal logic so reasoning with you will get me nowhere, you don't make me mad or angry, I just feel sorry for you. but I'm not here to judge you or say you are wrong keep doin what you do but I don't have to tell you that, most people don't see anypoint in changin and I'm sure you don't either.

  • damn. REPEAT.

  • I make it my duty to pint out to an ignorant white person not to say stupid racist shit I think you should try not to encourage ignorant stupid shit by saying it.

  • @delayundeadmc They can't relate to this because they look out of trailer park windows instead

  • @MrAD2406 have u ever been to Mobile,Alabama????? i went there after my boy moved there,and there was a trailer park by where he moved that had the same shit happin in there that happens in projects..i live in the jects myself,and i used to think certain shit only happens in the projects until i ventured outside the jects and saw that alotta different places that u wouldnt expect and their stories sound the same....jus sayin

  • ok so all the white boys that said they wanna listen to this and smoke a blunt with this nigga, this song is for the black people so please stop, you need some nigga friends like Katt Williams said

  • @strictlyraw This song is for tha blacc people??? Or this song is for tha poor people? Jus sayn...

  • @Yamato145 and those "people" will rob you if you say that to their face.

  • @rescobar1997 Doubt it, those people are who I'm with everyday. I wonder if you misunderstood what I was sayin or if you just think everyone in tha hood is a thief

  • best song off the whole fucking album, and one of Nas' best.

  • Wow! 8 people done like this song. I cant belive anyone would not like this song. Well then again I can relate to it a little.

  • They say nothing lasts forever and, yet they say keep the faith ....

  • damn, this song is illl, and addicting

  • this is mad ill back in the day I felt it kid

  • i agree peters coop i would"n t mind smoking a blunt with him and kick it wit him just to endure his way of thinking . i think he is one of the realest rappers in the game because he lived every thing he spoke about. a lot of rappers now a days don"t understand this at all

  • i agree peterscooop, i wouldnt mind smokin a blunt with him and kick it wit him just to endure his way of thinking . i think he is one of the realest rappers in the game because he lived every thing he spoke about. alot of rappers now a days dont understand this at all

  • Beatiful and deep song. Nas is so fuckin insightful and deep. I wish one day i can talk with him and smoke a blunt, im sure i wouldnt bore him with my story, and i bet id be amazed with what knowledge this brother would kick.

  • He painted a true picture of the hood

  • nastradamus fun to listen to such muzyky and eat soup you have it s.p.s

  • Nas Esco is a true thug poet...living legend right there...one of the illest (THE illest, imo) MCs to ever pick up a M-I-C

  • one of my favorites

    

  • nas is my all time favorite yo !!!!!

  • United Nations quietly takin toll on ya soul take it or leave it just ma evaluation. um um um !

  • "Mental slave house where gat's go off"- Pure...poetry

  • Tracks like this are self explanatory. A TREAT FOR THE REAL POETS.

  • LYRICAL MENACE 

  • "might as well be laughing wit malcolm x's assassin as we die slow, perishin', brain-dead from an ericsson"

  • "every day the same melody / hell sounding so heavenly..." smh

  • OK this album is not nas best, but its still on the level of others best album or even better. when you got classic tunes like this, some of us have angle, the life we chose, ect. ain't no way that a bad album you fill me

  • @BIGBOY90000000 This is my fav Nas album...

  • @dthepresident this is his worst album imo and statistically

  • If this piano's the cake then my words are the candles.

    Light it up make a wish and them angels'll grant you

    impatient ones try puttin them angels (angel dust) in bamboo

    they lit it up, hit it up, now they dismantled.

    Poetic Genuis.

  • @Hiphophead1904 fo real tho....thats my favorite part of this song

  • Nastradamus... one of my favorite Nas album, just because how real it is. Probaly his most personal album beside God's Son.

    Such beauty in poetry is not found anywhere else, whoever can't appreciate this album for it's beauty is missing out on life. Some of Us Have Angels, Project Windows, Last Words, Life We? Choose, God Loves Us, Come Get Me... incredible.

    Don't sleep! forget everthing you've heard about this album, put it on and just drift away. This is where you'll find Nas, right here.

  • @Roboflex good comment fam, well put : )

  • Reading's what I should've done, cus my imagination would run

    I was impatient to get out and become part of the noise out there

  • Comment removed

  • NIGGA is very underrated.

  • yo the hustlers and hoes, drugs n 44's, this is the life of every kid looking outta project windows

  • U should chill if ur short...prepare deep thought lol

  • U should chill if ur short...lol

  • This is the best version of the song. :D

  • THIS SONS IS NICE

  • the cd version was sooooo wack the beat was different from the cassette version

  • 1 OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVA MADE.

  • @4EVERMILL

    Real Talk...

  • la da da.......Lookin oout! Yeah ! Smooth as fuck Ron Isley is the soul king and Nas is one of the greatest to ever put his words on wax. Peace to man, woman and child.

  • ok 3 of my fav nas tracks are on this album i dont think this is his worse album

  • project is me and the windows are my eyes........

  • Whats funny is this album is still better than the mainstream shit that comes out today!!!

  • the ghetto is not a place its a mind state the reason why african american dominated projects are the way they are is because we as blacks forgot how to unite and love each other that since of unity we had back in the day is long gone we dont love our own anymore

  • GOT A 9 WATCH WHERE U WALK TWO DOLLAR (1+1) FINE SIGHN OF THE TIMES HERE IN NEW YORK......9-11-01 ALBUM WAS RELESED IN 2000.GET IT? NASTRADAMUS, HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOIN TO HAPPEN,HE SAYS OTHER STUFF THATS DEEP BUT DON'T THINK PEOPLE CARE

  • @cedric216 ...not gunna lie to you noone wants to hear that dumb bullshit

  • NaS - niggas against society

  • eh is that someone from the Isley Brothers singing the chorus??

  • @MixAlot85 I believe that would be Ron Isley yes :)

  • so many ways out of da hood but no sign says out....

  • this used to be the shit...nas is a lyrical legend brah...real shit niggga

  • i agree NAStradamus wasnt my favorite either i never bought it or was excited to own it but i listen to a few tracks that are classic dis n shoot em up mostly

  • this is a classic 4real! @djdoctora704

  • ORIGINAL BREWSTER PROJECTS (detroit michigan). MY favorite nas song!!! the piano is beautiful in sync with the flow... IF U NOT FROM ''THE JECTS''/''THE JUNGLE'' U WNT UNDERSTAND... A VIVID LOOK AT PROJECT LIFE!!!!!! OUTSTANDING LYRICAL CONTENT BY A TRUE LEGEND...

  • Im a huge nas fan! The only reason this album wasn't AS strong was b/c he wanted to push 2 albums out in one calendar year. still 6 good cuts on there from what i remember!

  • 4ever king of N.Y.!!

  • another classic album

  • @majiicpu3D u are right this album is surley a hiphop classic period i used 2 bump this everyday! @djdoctora704

  • ron isley..make da song even hotter!!!

  • I was 12 when i got this CD....still got it!!! It wasnt bad either....not his greatest but it was cool!!

  • This album is TOO much hated on, it's not his best but c'moon..

  • For me this album iz way better than i am.

  • Man, this album is gud! How come people make it out 2 b wack or something? This song is fire!

  • @Travdalaker yesss... its still a great album- the controversy was that nas attempted to rerecord this whole new album (nastradamus) in a couple of months and the album didn't really have any theme as his previous albums did. plus, illmatic was in my eyes the best hip hop album ever recorded, and it was written was amazing but because of some crap with p diddy, nas went thru a lot to get this album out. it just didn't have as good quality or lyrical content as his few albums before this one.

  • yea this was piff...underground fame...he's a g.o.a.t...nasir Jones

  • dis guy is d undisputed king...dont care if jay-z got a billion bucks..nas is simply d best rapper alive.. his words can pierce a hole right thru ur soul...i bow to u nasir jones!

  • @dondantata I couldn't have said it better myself. His words make you think and try to emagine what he talkin bout.

  • (Another day, another dollar, my mother will holla She said "go and see the world for myself, and my brother Shafala" )

  • this album is all hood.

  • luv this

  • "Impatient ones tried puttin those angels in bamboo, they lit up, hit it up, now they dismantled"

  • my favorite Nas song I remember i had this CD i was about 9 or 10 this shit takes me back to THE GOOD OLD DAYS

  • 4 real me to i was bout the same age when this came out i remember the older heads bumpin this i had it 2 me my cuz had all of nas' cd's i used to sneak in his room to take it 4 a while and try to bring it back he used to be pissed but yea damn i miss thoses days especially them summer days dam what i would do for a time machine!!!

  • The best line to me is "Crippled dope fiends in wheelchairs stare, vision blurry, cause burried deep in they minds is hidden stories"

  • i agree when i first heard this that was the line that struck me out of the rest

  • @Smileyfacedkiller my all time favorite yo !!!!!!!

  • @Smileyfacedkiller "he's finished for the rest of his life, til he fades out/ the liquor store workers miss him but then it plays out...." makes you realize how small and insignificant the life of one person can be when you look at the big picture

  • @Smileyfacedkiller I totally agree its soo powerful and something a lot people can relate to being a witness of.

  • "so many ways out the hood but no signs say out"- Beautiful

  • Ron Isley made this song a instant classic,Thats fucked up he's locked up. The realest niggas reside in jail.

  • what the fuck is Ron is jail for? I love the Isley brothers.

  • Tax evasion...

  • tax invasion

  • like Memphis Bleek said, " The only niggas realer than me is in the mess hall with their chest out."

  • @irepelay

    Naw, the realest never get caught, if you never get caught that shows your serious about what you do.

  • this was my favorite song off the album

  • Dumb nigga im talking about the track. Ok, u gotta be from the projects to understand the track "project windows" is that better for you?

  • Comment removed

  • You gotta be from the projects to understand what hes saying. I love the fact how he makes musik that everybody can relate to, Nas.

  • @HeartBreakBless nice contradiction...you have to be from the hood to understand him..yet he makes music that everyone can relate to???....confusion

  • Comment removed

  • I've realized that cats who criticize the album aren't real men. Any real man would know that we all go through a period in life when we hit rock bottom because our passion for life is destroyed by a woman and betrayal. I Am and Nastradamus were recorded when Nas was feeling that way God. He even says it on "Rise and Fall". Nas' album are a reflection of a real man's plight. Real men dont pass judgment, we show love. But, I CEE taht real men are scarce. I CEE you Nas. Peace.

  • comprehension isnt limited to experience only, besides real men dont pass judgment (sound familiar?) dont think i cant feel the words out just bec. i havent been their in first person

  • 'Stock loot and guns....teach girls karate..school your sons...."

  • stop tryina post paragraphs on youtube..arguing and shit..

    listen to the song and k.i.m

    morons

  • Namaste

  • I grew up in the hood and I can identify with this track so much. Nas is so creative. Peace.

  • dfr

  • 49ers biotchez

  • that is a trophy winner

  • thank you for the answer

  • is this the guy

    who sings the song contagious with R.Kelly

    i mean the guy on this chorus ?????

  • UMM yEA iTS ONE Of tHE ISLEY'S bROtHERS

  • yEA iiTS RON ISLEY....

    -RAjAH)

  • Ronald Isley...

  • Nas fans if u get a chance listen to nastradoomus. Its nastradamus with mf doom beats.

  • This brings back so many memories of my college conscientiousness phase of the late 90's @ CAU!!

  • i will use paypal and pay anyony one 10 bucks to find this beat for me!

  • My man Al West Did this beat with Trackmasters..

  • Sing it Ron Isley.

  • FaiTH is WHAt YoU MAkE OF It...

  • Garden of Eden? Hahahahahah, buy a clue, deadbeat.

  • Untitled was a good album one of nas' best. He stayed on topic throughtout the whole album. Project roach, America, Testify, You cant stop us now, Fried Chicken. Nas did his thing. If you knew the Nigger side of history maybe you would have respected the album more. Collaborations with the last poets. Theres a lot to say about the N album. It was very knowledgeable and thats real hip-hop right there

  • i agree no other album in raps history has been more complicated yet so meaningful i put it up there with stillmatic. no offense to any one but if your not a person of dark skin then it will be hard for u to fully appreciate it.

  • I mean im minority my self, and I appreciate the album (I am a Nas fanatic) but I wouldnt put this up wit stillmatic, this album is mediocre compared to the rest of his work, my opinion at least

  • This is better than bp3 so i think this sums up all the nas vs jay nonsense nas is just better period

  • i bet u wanna choke on his dik init

  • (SOMEBODY AINT THANKFUL)(GDVL)(Lil Solbadguy)(Noah)

  • What about AZ? AZ > Nas at this point rapping wise. That shit Nas dropped called the N was worse than hiphop is dead. Gods Son is the last good album he made. Don't get me wrong. Nas is one of my fav rappers but dude has been slacking and hopefully now that Kelis is gone, he comes back with a vengeance. Bring that mafioso shit back

  • Since the beginning of time a woman has been Man's Down Fall...

  • I am not questioning your intelligence,but I will say that as a women I resent that comment. I would try to strike up a conversation with you, but you appear to be grounded in your opinion. Thats sad black man. Its sad because your thinking is part of the problem, not the solution. But why should you care what a women thinks? After all, she is only a reflection of you!

  • I am glad that you know that My thought's is only a fraction of reality... See, from where I stand comunication between man and woman got lost somewhere in the garden of Eden and as time unfolded it's pretty picture we have the world as we see it ...that's why you were quik to throw a punch verses giving a hug... But like you said you are a thought...

  • Garden of Eden? I didn't know adults still believed in Faiy Tales

  • to ignorant to pay attention hahaaaa

  • i agree i want the mafioso nas back but i dont think gods son was his last good album

  • nastradamus is not whack in any way

  • it didnt compare to it was written and illmatic back then but its better then nearly every album now

  • I have at least 150 songs worth of Nas music I BOUGHT. Every song has something redeeming, even his worst is better than some of these other clowns' best. HHID, Nigger, and now Distant Relatives. See, Nas makes a collabo album with Jr. Gong son of Bob, Jay made a collabo album with R kelly the pedophile, and a throwaway with linkin park. Who has the mind and heart to put out soul music?

  • Hm, Nastradamus seems to be better than its bad reputation

  • Are the apartments projects? I always wondered.

  • queens yep

  • this is what makes nas great, no matter how commercial he got, even on his worst album he's always got quality songs.

  • this is nas, one of the best ive heard from him so where r the rest? it takes soul to make a tune like this man we need nas to be producin more from the heart... and not bullshit from the phat cat sat behind some desk...

  • Down By Law. Classic shit here man.. Love you Mom. I miss you !

  • I used to play this everyday... Ron Isley i the background really brings the track to life....

  • thank nas for painting a perfect picture for you (jdubthe1andonly) nas is my all time favorite rapper, he was the best at painting vivid pictures and always will be! because on some real shit, hip hop opens eyes to many like myself who went through this shit first hand and always want people to understand the struggle with us even if you didn't have to go through it. This is what hip hop is right here. joe budden said it perfectly "I'm a artist I paint pictures I don't ryhme words"

  • better 9 classic songs then 17 full of bullshit fillers & skits

    nice & short

    then wack & long

    no homo

  • ((((hugs nas))))) thank you for making great music

  • Wow, what a beautiful song....Nas is one of the greatest no doubt.....

  • You gotta be from da projects to under what hes saying. this song is real and touches every ghetto nigga living in da hood. Love this nigga.
