I Must Be Crazy Jealous Of My Own Baby Infant

[parrotdick]

Lupe is a radio rapper. Don't compare him with a legend.

[JPcal96]

Shit, and I was gonna name my album Book of Rhymes, motherfuckers woulda thought I was a biter

[Meeks930]

:.....)

[Donsknotts]

word to the video description

[illmaticQB94]

"death threats given by clowns i guess" nas lol, is he takin bout them corney guys insane clown posse?

[snowharttify]

everyone's forgetting about immortal, lupe and so on.. :/

[SDSOverfiend]

@snowharttify Nobody forgetting about them Niggas. Them Niggas ain't put in no work.FOH!! Why ya'll Niggas always putting Lupe name in there? If you think he can even hold Nas's book of rhymes you stupid as fuck seriously. When on of them Niggas constantly go plat off of Lyrics then i consider the argument.

[sou2ify]

why u guys always have to compare rapers with each other and talk about whos best, i dont mind, pac,biggie, nas and all the others have there style and are more than only great in what they did they are the gods of rap musik, and genius everyone in his own way, just say u like this or that style more. what i accually want to say is, stop the fucking ranking, that doesnt deserve them

[link10304]

fuck tupac and biggie there dope yeahh but im all about Wu-Tang, Nas, and Onyx!... is nas being sarcastic at the start of the song ?????

[ilim4t1c]

@link10304 i was w/ you till you said onyx? new 1 for me...never seen someone put onyx over biggie and tupac...no hating, just new, good taste nonetheless.

[dcsmokedown91]

when you talk about great rappers, you shouldnt include tupac or biggie, they already made there status above great.

[misscoldmeslc]

how can i trust you and i cant trust me ... ( thats why im single) lol

[cqcbare]

description says it all lol

[D3Eification]

check out my vid broken dreams with this beat

[OldSchooLset]

nas el mejor!

[chansen89]

the flow is unreal

[StanleyDonwood]

Anyone heard the blend with one of Nujabes' beats? It's great

[ARandomTranny]

One of my fav Nas tracks.

Still ill as ever

[CataclysmicBane]

i love this song's concept.

[kyteification]

Soul on ice death threats given by clowns... dis song is one of my favorites.

[erocha361]

agree wit Kalnixx

[kalnixx24]

i dnt get ti how do people think pac is better then NAS ? pac could only wish he could write lyrics of nas calibur.. i mean yea pac influenced rappers but so did nas wit illmatic

[rulerofn00bs117]

I admit that nas is an amazing rapper and is really talented at what he does, Nas is the shit, but i 2pac was just amazing on a whole nother level. 2pac was one of the greatest rappers that ever lived, and Nas is definitally also on that list

[koolo5555]

Tupac lyrics are on a whole different level then most rappers if wasnt just rap it was poetry. He was the greatest rapper of all time. Respect to NAS because he's the last REAL rapper alive I just hope he doesnt change

[joseph3754]

no biggie was the best man no rap album touches ready to die

[OscarBallz]

@joseph3754 illmatic

[MrInfamousFish]

@joseph3754 Illmatic

[rewyndblack]

@kalnixx24 I don't htink people should keep bringing biggie and pac into thiese things because yea they were nasty when they were out but they are dead. yea they were great rappers but we got rappers who were just startin out when they were holdin it down. it's sad they died but i mean come on they dead now so we don't know where they'd be right now and the rappers that are a live took the torch and kept movin. nas def. took where her started and he built on it.

[TennAkeySAINT]

i think every rapper or mc that has or hasnt made it can relate to this song 100%

[prtorrential101]

this is my favorite song by nas no lie cause it reveals sooo much about nas's style when he was jus startin writing and u can see how much he progressed from when he was underground to illmatic

[novemberunderground]

this song is NASTY. if only every 8 second loop sounded this awesome... love these hilarious comments by the way.

[YourGreatness]

The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream

Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king- Nas

[madcrackerz]

real hip-hop

[BabyJuelz13]

I wanna shake, hug and get to know Nas personally as a friend...

Cause he's too fucking cool ;D

[myspam512]

the Nujabes Blend is better.

[williamlbro]

[montybiesls99]

Big L

[nemesis700]

[montybiesls99]

are you fucking high you fuckin nit wit son bitch who dangles dicks for a living take that beautiful black girl

[nemesis700]

haha wtf?...that was even stupider then u sayin big l was better then nas..

[alphamale227]

@nemesis700 Nas it the most realest rapper ever, but Big L was a lyrical genius above Nas.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@nemesis700 who said that shit?

big l was really good with them punchlines....but still to this day i see nobody ever as poetic and deep as Nas is with lyricism!

[MrUrallshet]

@nemesis700 y da fukk do people do dat....JUST ENJOY IT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP

[JokuPelle2]

Notorious B.I.G.

[IsrealFloresto]

notorious B.I.G was

[looneybaby25]

One luv for Nas...he is and he will be the best rapper ever

[eddaguilar2010]

i agree he is a living legend

[neno46]

man,i just love nas...best lyrics

[redsoxin09]

I love how the description says "if you don't like this then you is dumb." It's ironic if you ask me.....lol

[ToXiCpImPz]

LOL

[crankdatskate]

why u listenting to this song then

i mean u didnt have to say that u coulda just kept that to your self

[kreyesis]

another skunt was born right!

[NaSonelove]

nas is the illest rapper alive, and one of the top m.c.'s of all time

[husyrs]

i love this song.

[goldmn480]

this song seperates nas from other uncreative rappers like lil wayne,50 cent

[Ezlogic4life]

i dont know why its so hard for people to see that . creativity is lacking in this garbage today .

[XaoS227]

just about all of nas songs sererates him from all them other clowns

[AlphaDwg]

man Nas' throw away rhymes > any rapper out right now.

[thehoodspecialist]

I thought I was abnormal because I would overcome every task.....cordial. So there it is I'm a prince I'm against lames who do minor shit and swear they on top of their game.

[YourGreatness]

Nas

[krest509]

man.. lemme spit some from my book of rhymes..

A modest being, bein misguided through a dark plotted dream

an awful scene, observing a reality that cannot be seen

mere odyssey's, fabricated to keep her conscience clean

a prodigy of hypocrisy, preparing mockery's of honesty

while leading the life of a smile, but with rotten teeth

suffering from this oddity, a case of internal democracy

it's like a cross between blindness and bein lost at sea

[UndyingSupremacy]

Damn....that's awesome!

[yoshibrawlme]

nice

[thecreepzone2]

hey krest shit's hot but check this

Dont get it confound it is not a black african

its not of this world is more of a heaven realm

its thr true evidence/ we behold the inheritance

kings and priest of every land/ shining on the dark continent

imitating instead of imtimating ur roots its ignorant

perversing instead conserving the truth thats arrogance

the wiles of illusion is misconception to our children

imita

[ruler1115]

Check out my new nas video Happy black history month

[asiaticthaprophet]

The last verse Nas' spits about his daughter and wisdom is basically the deepest and most creative verse I've ever heard on wax God. Nas could fuckin destroy a rappers catalogue with a track son. Peace God.

[ellissmith23]

it is one of nas most underated song. I listen 2 this shit as soon as I woke up 4 a month

[hussallah]

i used to have a red book of rhymes too...man

[eaz123]

this is real hip hop new york stand up 50cent dissed him and in my eyes as a deeply love for hip hop respect of it all and a BIG fan of nas that was a no no i wanted to go bust 5o's jaw THIS IS HIP HOP!!

[TheNextLt2007]

cold az hell

[mostlyslick]

its hard to be iced up with Gucci god, poverty is real

[MrHappyPants6000]

The things you simpleton rap fans think are "genius". It is fucking astounding!

[thatkidohmess]

its simple on the surface. those who read between lines are the geniuses. everyone else remains in the dark.

[MrHappyPants6000]

Yeah, riiiiight. You could say the exact same thing for anchovies on a pizza.

[Lalaphive]

Just because people like a form of art that you cannot understand doesn't make them any less than yourself. What makes you less than the worth of a Project Roach is your willingness to categorize a person based upon what they admire.

[MrHappyPants6000]

LMAO...form of art....holy crap! So if someone took a shit in their own hands and then splattered it against a wall, that would be art too? That's about as much effort and talent that went into making this crap...er, excuse me...ART.

[Lalaphive]

Good Job

[kreyesis]

you had to be born a real skunt!

[MrHappyPants6000]

lmao...that's real good coming from some Caribbean pussy ghetto gangsta wannabe. You're a sheep. A dumb, ignorant, do-anything-everyone-else-does mindless sheep.

[kreyesis]

I HOPE WE MEET ONE DAY!

[MrHappyPants6000]

You're one of those "slow" people huh? I'm sorry there Corky, I didn't realize I was talking to a mentally challenged dumbass. Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that retarded people can be dumbfuck morons just like normal people. You're living proof of that, aren't ya buddy? Who's special? Whooooooo's "SPECIAL"? That's right...YOU are! Now go keep yourself busy by playing with yourself dipshit.

[miracleman2323]

What the fuck is your problem? Such an asshole.

[MrHappyPants6000]

Nothing. What's your problem little wigger boy? You wish your daddy was black? That's it, isn't it?

[toombs911]

Chill the fuck out! fuckin chilidish shit.

[toombs911]

you are ignorant, did you know that? you aint got shit on this art, thats why you flame. If you dnt like it DRINK BLEACH. fag

[MrHappyPants6000]

Oh shut the fuck up punk...you just wish you were lucky enough to be born a black person raised in an US ghetto...so you could be a hard core gangsta, instead of the silly little lithuanian piece of shit you really are.

[toombs911]

in the us ghetto? :D bitch you dont even know how life is here. Ant no luck being born here either. And you with you pompous opinion, where do you live, in the suburbs? :D

[MrHappyPants6000]

As a matter of fact, yes I do live in the suburbs. But I'm not the one trying to be a hard core ghetto gangsta like you. Stick to your own country's fucked up problems instead of trying to emulate the dumbest pieces of shit born in the US.

[toombs911]

i bet if you'd see that "dumbest pieces of shit" in the street you'd run for your life ;D

[MrHappyPants6000]

You dumb fucking lithuanian pile of shit. You are obviously so naive you imagine every black rapper is a tough gangbanger. Most are actually pussies from the suburbs and only pretend they are gangstas from the ghetto. The ones that are really hardcore gangbangers never leave their shitty poverty ridden neighborhoods. I've grown up surrounded by this shit...I know when to stand AND when to run. You sound like the kind of a dumbass that doesn't move when a train's coming straight at you.

[MrHappyPants6000]

And do us all a favor and keep that Lithuanian trend going........KILL YOURSELF you stupid fucktard.

[2hafstylezk]

listen u bumbass nigga if i rolled on u wit mah niggas u would get real quiet u wouldn't be talkin all dis dumb shyt and nah im not from the ghetto im juss not no pussy nigga. so u really need to stop this dumb black ghetto gang banger shyt u juss sound stupid. and than u wanna tell other ppl they're ignorant

[taninash]

Hip hop is dead. Soulja boy will show you why. SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!

[IngeniusCreation]

Hip Hop Will Never Die And Stop HAting On The Fact That Souja Boy Got People Wanna Superman..He Might Not Be A "Mc" To Most ..But He Movez Crowds ..Stop Bein Bias Just Because that's not the type of music you like

[taninash]

I know lots of people like his music but a song like book of rhymes is hip hop to me soulja boys music isnt, so to me and nas and many other people out there hip hop is dying. With the commercial success of people like soulja boy music like that by nas is losing ground people like Talib, Mos def, Cassidy, Lupe should be tempted to commercialse which will effectively kill Hip Hop. Look at Jay he's dumbing down his shit and we'll never get music like heart of the city again.

[IngeniusCreation]

I Have To DisAgree With You ..Hip Hop Is Culture ..A Movement ..Music Where People Express Them Self Just Respect An Artist For Their Craft..Someone IS Always Goin To Criticize An Artist For The Type Of Music They Put Out ..Nas Was Talkin Bout Rockin Diamonds ..Killin And Everything Else..But Im Assume'n Because He's From New York Thats Ok For Him It's Styll Hip Hop..Cassidy Talks About Kill And Sellin Drugz..He's Hip Hop But Young Jeezy Isn't

[taninash]

Point taken but i feel hip hop music should be telling a story, it used to be more than just a dance on a catchy beat with a good chorus. For example Beanie Siegel's- in the air. Nas's - the message. Jay Z - public service announcement. Method man - break ups to make ups. These songs can move you and will be remembered forever not so i think songs like Crank that.

[abejb0007]

taninash... allow me to reintroduce mah-self... my name is AAAAAAAAAAAAHHbe

A 2 the B E ...

LoL

[taninash]

lol thats crazy dude.

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG

[THUGNERD81]

"Look how we treat pregnancy women in the hood our values so low our values are no good"

[mostlyslick]

do you think he actually has a book of rhymes or its just another creative concept from N.A.S?

[barkanator]

why not. i've had a bk of rhymes for a while myself. as time goes on , i like reminiscing my old state of mind

[mostlyslick]

"the glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream, through your existence, become wealthy knowledge is king"

[xNTBxLEGEND]

I had an orgasm i swear.

[KidSon704]

WOW! NAS IS A PURE GENUIS WORLD 4 HIS DAUGHTER IS DEEP!

I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?

Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and shit

Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way

Such a innocent child is what some say

I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are

Like a star not a worry in this world thus far

But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention

I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant

[91WriterzStatus]

@KidSon704 i wished he finished it!! :(

[asiaticthaprophet]

Did ya'll hear the last verse " Jealous of my own child infant". The idea that a man is envious of the attention and chemistry between his wife and child is CRAZY. Nas is beyond every fuckin mc out there. I love this guy...So damn deep.

[NoCaRAAY]

God's son...tight ass album

[jermaine69]

"Ghandi was fool, nigga fight to the death" cant fuck with tha line

[THUGNERD81]

" My people be projects and jail never Harvard or Yale pardon me typing my 2way while im charging my cell"

[YourGreatness]

Last verse was the Hardest, hands down

[supremenyc]

Alchemist on the beat.

[hennylo68]

my nigga lean on me like scoop and scrap this cant be my book of rhymes..........even the rhymes he think is wack is hot

[hennylo68]

this is what seperates nas from other mcs, not just lyrical cause anyone can rap. Its his creativeness this shit is so original hearing him turn the pages its like he really brung his book of rhymes to he studio

[menoksa]

THAT REAL SHIT MY NIKA RYMES ARE TO TRUE

[angelo48215]

nas is the truth, top 5 of all time

[Violet9Spider]

Probably the most unique song on God's Son.

[Pythiumradics]

one of my favourite Nas's songs

[piffstar420]

been bumpin this since the day god's son came out

[bradcz6344c]

somebody should mix this beat with jadakiss "still feel me"

[CDW757]

Hotness, its like a real rhyme book with a girl's number in it and all, then you look back at old rhymes and spit it and be like naw, that was weak.

[truerthantrulife]

One of the best songs on God's Son.

You said if anybody don't like this song, they're dumb... I'd take it a step further.  Whoever isn't feeling this track is mentally challenged.

[refresh1007]

hey man nice song, one of the best rappers in the rap game
