  • @NizzBomb69 Lol, U Mad bro? it's YouTube we say funny shit, get thumbs up and move on, You must be really insecure to call me a hater, get a life.

  • @The12Jacob No, i'm not insecure. I don't really know how you gathered that from my previous post, but ok... I would just enjoy seeing at least one dumb-ass hater get fucked by a few donkeys. "U Mad bro?" C'mon....really, man?

  • @The12Jacob See its fans like ya'll that is killing hip hop. Nas is 10x better then them 3 but still all you gotta do is not listen to them. People won't agree cause people just love to argue and get likes on youtube.

  • @The12Jacob if i ruled the world people would not allowed to be killed just because they make music that some trolls behind their keyboards don't approve of

  • KING MUSIC RIGHT HERE

  • Man i was like alil kid i used to love this song! they was on top of the limo jus going! that shyt was fly! the 90's was like that, 2000's sucks balls!

  • best of best autentic artist

  • fuck the Radio !! Thumbs up for real Hip Hop

  • @Dee22nunez this was on the radio today, and btw there is no such thing as "real" hip-hop. I listen to nas and Waka Flocka, Common and Drake. All of those are hip-hop.

  • @anthonychrisbradley yeah probably the clean version , We keep it underground bitch !

  • @anthonychrisbradley ur an idiot if u think that there is no "real hiphop". wayne n drake r like knock off pirated versions of hiphop.

  • @Dee22nunez This was on the radio....

  • @Dee22nunez people who say "thumbs up" are just followers too. stop trying to sound cool and go back to your radio.. hipster

  • hes GODS SON!! 

  • God gave him skillz!!!

  • amen tang. the music now is stupid.

  • No offense to Nas but this whole fucken world is mine

    - 2Pac

  • @juntsk8rs Why the fuck come on a nas video and post that you stupid fuck, post that on tupac asslick forums or something, idiot.

  • Music isn't dead today? :S its just different. to say that everything today is no good and that the older music is better is a contradiction? most of the music today uses samples from old music :S so..half of todays music is your old favourites...just recycled a little? :S all you favourite styles and genre's of music are still being created to day. the only reason their not popular is because your listening to music on youtube rather than funding the developement of up and coming artists?

  • @MrArchenko Music isn't dead today, people still make good music, no one denies that. It's just pop music today is... horrendous! You can't tell me honestly with a straight face that YOUNG MONEY is good...just empty meaningless lyrics with a hot beat.

  • @cptorangutang2 but i can look at chu wit a straight face and tell you Boosie Webbie Trill Ent And Badd Ass Ent Is Good They Be Kill Shit The Realist Rappers Alive

  • @cptorangutang2 Its Pop music man, its never exactly been deep. Kinda the point, you know, archetypal shit everyone kinda relates to. At least the feeling if not the specific

  • @cptorangutang2 This music had a meaning now day's its all fun and entertainment see here atleast they were speaking about their times struggles etc etc... I recently just got into rap but i love it so much Tupac's lyrics make me drop a tear!

  • @MultiSkitzy tupac was a wannabe gangster ballerina rapist. rest in shit

  • @lamBETTERthanY0U Listen if you think Nas is better than Tupac you clearly Don't Know Rap.

  • @LeeDaG09 its not even about who you think is a better rapper. fact is 2pac was a coward lying fraud while nas has always kept it pretty real

  • @lamBETTERthanY0U fact is fuck you, your scum and 2pac is clearly the best rapper to live and he is still best now while he aint on this planet so that proves my point rot in hell you freak 2pac for life R.I.P 2pac we miss you

  • @LeeDaG09 You fucking fanboys are so annoying, i swear all 2Pac fans are elitists assholes you act as if he invented Hip-Hop and then say he is the only good rapper ever, You think 2Pac is the best rapper ever? that's good for you, but stop shoving your views down other peoples throats i think Nas is the greatest but i'm not running around trying to make everybody like him.

  • @The12Jacob For one i think you will find more people like 2pac because he is a better rapper and hs better lyrics, i like Ice Cube more than Nas i like Snoop Dogg more i like Biggie more i like Eazy E more but im just making my point to scum people who disrespect dead people for no reason

  • @The12Jacob @LeeDaG09 who cares who the best is. the bottom line is raps dead. why care if someone likes 2pac better or nas. the bottom line is they were both the best, and 2pac died, and nas doesnt rap anymore.

  • @LBJDW3 Nas doesn't rap anymore??? WTF he released his single "Nasty" last year which got critical acclaim, and Life Is Good his 10th solo album is slated to release sometime this year. His last album was the collabo with Damian Marley in 2010 and his last solo album was released in 2008, Nas is still an amazing Emcee and he still get's the respect he deserves.

  • @LeeDaG09 How come Pac is the greatest? No one was greatest and no one will ever will. There were and are so many different rappers in this world. Pac might been great but greatest? Na you just probably started to listen too ''All Eyez on me'' album and screaming thug life.

  • @lamBETTERthanY0U Fuck you man why the fuck would you say that shit? What the fuck did he do to you?

  • @SuperPigeoneater you know its all true

  • @lamBETTERthanY0U Go fuck yourself you fucking cunt.

  • @cptorangutang2 drake is the only good one in young money

  • @cptorangutang2 got any suggestions for good new hip hop? i dont know much rappers who actually can rap

  • @rutgercap mf doom, one be lo, elzhi, nas, common, kool g rap, mos def, the roots, pharoahe monch, masta ace, immortal technique, atmosphere, more....for old school check out wu-tang, rakim, tupac, jeru the demaja, fugees, nwa, big pun, big l, black moon, main source, de la soul, a tribe called quest, gang starr, geto boys, bone thugs, public enemy, ras kass, redman, idk what else lol

  • @rutgercap If you like Nas and Illmatic, then check out a mixtape called "eLmatic" by a detroit rapper called eLZhi, it's basically a "cover" of illmatic. It's really well done in my opinion, even Nas heard it and said he approved of it. Oh and check out those guys/groups that redskinscaps mentioned, I listen to most of those too.

  • @cptorangutang2 Young Money is good. Straight face.

  • @cptorangutang2 I'm serious.Wayne can spit like crazy when he feels like it, Drake makes that introspective rnb shit and tyga isn't bad. He makes bangers for days. Nicki Minaj isn't my cup of tea but bitches like her. But really tho Gudda Gudda has no purpose in life.

  • @anthonychrisbradley I haven't really liked any of Wayne's material since C2. I like that Drake reps my country, Canada... Then again so does Jbiebs, but we won't talk about that...

    At any rate, if you like YM that's fine with me, I won't fling insults your way or anything. Honestly I used to listen to some young money, back when it consisted of: Wayne, curren$y, and Mack Maine. Songs like "I know the future" and "riding with the AK" were pretty dope.

  • @cptorangutang2 Tbh I'm not even a big fan of YMCMB, but I don't hate them and I just find they get aloy of unecessary hate. They just doing they thing.

  • @anthonychrisbradley You know what I agree, I only brought em up in the first place to prove a point. I don't have a problem with them or their fans, I just don't like the music.

  • @cptorangutang2 + Cory Gunz is a beast.

  • I wish people would STFU about good hip-hop/rap being dead today. Stop listening to the radio for Jay-Z and Young Money's crap then do a little bit of searching for people like Immortal Technique, Cunninlynguists, Living Legends, Binary Star, etc. I can go back to the 60's and listen to Otis, the 90's and listen to Goodie Mob, or hear Immortal Technique talk about the 1% from a couple months ago... bashing modern music doesn't make you people look cool; just lazy and ignorant.

  • [insert text saying how the current music is nothing compared to the old music]...

  • I was so sad, I searched this classic and Big time rush Was at the top.

  • The whole world loves Black Culture. They copy us in everything we do, They ''whitey'' makes money off of our gifts and talents, but ask if they trust us, think highly of us, would want us to be part of their family, would trust us with their business, ask if they would hire us fairly based upon our qualifications and so on. They steal everything and make it theirs then change it to suit their agenda. Black people are a rich people since the beginning of time.

  • @chrisluvoldschool ur an idiot thats why nowadays you got rappers callin there albums white boy swag, and sayin there white boy wasted etc.. bro get ur shit straight i dont even wana hear it from your idiot ass you just mad u aint get shit for christmas aint you lmao

  • @musskuss303 Here we Go again Pink man lol Again you just Proved my Fucking Point !!! The ones talkin that white boy swaggcornball bullshit are the ones that have been brain washed in the industry and in the media period from ''whitey'' go burn urself in the sun pinky lol Dnt even respond !!! i would call u niggah but u aint one, ''Square'' ;) lol

  • @chrisluvoldschool you are racist

  • @AlinePraline5 Im not racist im just tired of white people claiming shit they know nothing about. They only know what the media feeds them. Do you think most of these rappers really give a fuck about you white people ???? Trust when they were in the streets not one fucking white person gave a fuck about them. Now that they are in the limelight they want to relate and respect them . Bitch Pleeease... My people know the real. do u think whites would accpt wayn if he wsnt rappin ???

  • @chrisluvoldschool you idiot you think these rappers give a fuck what you think? a fan is a fan and i promise i know just as much about hip hop as you do if not more......color of skin has nothing to do with it.....omg if you were white you would be a fuckin nazi lmao disgrace to the black comunity you are ur moms prolly ashamed of you......and plus skin color doesnt change taste in music i listin to this because i like it man ok quit fuckin hating......

  • @chrisluvoldschool and whats to say tht me being white makes me less educated to this music than you lol go to school man learn somthing...... do something for your community

  • @chrisluvoldschool oh and by the way a white person produced this beat.....shows how much we know about hip hop right? smh.......

  • @musskuss303 @musskuss303 here you go again ''Whitey '' Who da fuck told you that a white man Produced that beat ? Are you fucking stupid !! Larry Smith Produced that shit you dumb fuck. A Black Man asshole lol The only thing les did was borrow it to tweek it a little bit alongside of D.J Premiere lol Yup thats rite he had a brother next to him help him you fuckin idiot. But that goes to prove my point white people always want what the black man has ! to make $ it was remixed ass!

  • @chrisluvoldschool This dude Chris is real proud to be ignorant and spiteful. You use skin color as your scapegoat for everything? Any cultivated person knows you're just a product of your environment, and that's all you'll ever be unless you open those eyes. If I ruled the world no one would discrimnate, especially for having good taste in Hip Hop. Nas is a poet and you can act like this song was for you, but evidently not. This ART isn't black and white, it's much more than that. GTFO.

  • @chrisluvoldschool massive contradiction, couldnt be more racist, im white, and i dont have that mindset whatsoever, ways and morals are made through upbringing, not skin colour, your living in the past kid, "chrisluvoldschool" you dont love old school, you clearly dont understand nas' message, commons message, and MLKs message for that matter, you are a small minded idiot, you almost sound like a panther, go listen to your tyga cd or something you fucking mug, i cbf to rant anymore,

  • @multijsavage bro dont even waste your time talking to this chump any more seriously its not worth it over youtube or even in person let him think he won you couldent have said it any better bro LOVE

  • im gonna say it again , White boy you dont know shit about HIP HOP let alone the culture. Ya fuckin pigs irritate me every time ya begin talkin like ya mutha fuckers are really part of this shit. U and ur white bothers and sisters dick ride us black people. U only know what ur what whitey researches and teaches you. GO GET A FUCKIN TAN PINKY! and stop tryna get the black man to side witt u by saying ''people like me ruin Hip Hop and give blacks a bad name. Corn ball. Trust my brothers all know !

  • nas, styles p, jada, big, big l, hova, beanie tellin me i dont know shit bout hip hop cuz im white mother fucker people like you ruined hip hop and give blacks a bad name....you need to free yourself homie @chrisluvoldschool

  • They go to other countries take shit and fuck it up !

  • This Goes to all you white people talking like ya know what hip hop is, Im tired of listening and reading your bullshit as if you really know. This music HIP HOP was created from the slums the fuckin gutter of New York. White people just saw an opportunity and jumped on it quick to make a $. They came and fucked it up, the same way they take everybodys shit ,fuck it up making it theirs. If you black and reading this you know exactly wutt im talkin about. !! i just had to let that out !!!!

  • @chrisluvoldschool the fuck outa here fuck boy the fuck does race got anything to do with good music....im white ok and if ur sayin hip hop is all black people then blame the same black people for destroying hip hop like and for the record wayne was a fuckin beast in his day homie "block is hot, carter one and two" man ppl like you get me heated u ignorent fuck

  • @musskuss303 Btw race has everything to do with it, because its our music and culture. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE IN MY PROFILE...

  • nas said hip hop is dead. i highly disagree. when nas music gets deleted and destroy 4eva then i will agree. lol

  • Nas is so amazing

  • You gotta check out the mistahoodstar channel! hot hot hot!

  • This song amazes me. The social conditions blacks live in must be intolerable if such a radical sentiment can be expressed in this song.

  • My gawd... cld this song be any better. I mean seriously yall hearing dis right?? NAS U ARE THE GREATEST LAURYN U THE ILLEST FOR LIFE! all these "rap bitches" dnt compare to a real woman with talent!

  • TROUBLESOME 96!!

  • @TheRealYoungCliff if i ruled the world, weed would not be a drug anymore

  • @TheRealYoungCliff Ilove that plan :) even if weed is not a drug

  • What makes this a classic: Non-infiltration of materialism and self degradation components.
