Nas-Surviving The Times

[helobobomg]

what album is this on?

[MONEYSAYSWHUT]

Rebel Of Hiphop

[iluvlittlekids]

about 1% of people that rate this song rate it down. that means about 99% of other people that rate it like this song.

[iluvlittlekids]

Every god damn time Nas comes in i just get this tingle and just have to move my hand.

[LosAngelesFresh1]

Yo everybody check out my remake of this song on my page, it's called Rollin' !

[MegaLordsandwich]

Anyone can tell me who made this beat??



[DBZUltimateGohan]

@MegaLordsandwich Type this in for the beat to this song: Nipsey Russell "What Would I Do (If I Could Feel)" "The Wiz"

[SkillMatick]

Im getting old.. surviving the times....

without real hiphop.

[DBZUltimateGohan]

@SkillMatick Well, Nas is still rappin. Plus we got Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Lupe Fiasco, J Cole. It's not as good as it used to be, but hip hop is not totally gone.....

[shadyboy969]

dope shit 

[LouMenace]

...Chris Webber produced this...

[ptitan08]

It would be a great song even without the intro, but that perfects it. The cut from 'The Wiz" genius!!!!

[Sjaakstraas]

The thing with Nas is that he doesn't rap along with the beat. His voice creates a whole new rhythm. Respect!

[Dutcharchers]

I was young i was surviving the times.

[killakadafi77]

Nas has a really good flow,

[jmayo188]

The Greatest

[bboybandicoot5]

I LIKE ONLY 140!?!?

[iamtomsnyder]

[schwam41]

i listened to A LOT of nas, but i slipped on this until now... why wasn't this on an official album?

[EricSanchez275]

without instruments music isnt music...but this right here is hip hop

[DruProductions1]

I JUST FOUND OUT CHRIS WEBBER MADE THIS BEAT!!!

[blood901]

nas just has a better flow than jay z....

[lbj2338]

@blood901 and rhymes, yeah pretty much everything hes better at

[WeezyWanye]

@blood901 its not onley the flow its how poetic nas is and how he lives in hes raps thats why nas is better than jay z

[niiiiiiiiiiickk]

@blood901 both are good so who gives a fuck

[blood901]

@niiiiiiiiiiickk i no both are good im just saying i think he has a better flow i love hip hop and respect every hip hop artist i got every jay z album original... just saying i like nas flow better... im intitled to my on opinion

[JoeEC420]

@blood901 More than that my freind! but you can't compare them. half of these "so Called" hip hop fans Don't Know THEY MADE UP THE BEEFS SQUASHED!

PEOPLE GET OVER THIS STUPID BEEF

[blood901]

@JoeEC420 i no the beef is over man and dnt get me wrong im a big jay z fan... im just saying i like nas flow better.... i have respect to all the hip hop artist

[94clown]

[NecKClippA]

@knaankos Nipsey Russel - What would i do if i could feel?

[hotboyz559]

[hondadrew23]

[Rookfpc]

I destroyed this track...Columbia knows I destroyed that joint 2...hell even myspace knows I destroyed that joint...but they won't let me post it up for yall to bang...they hating on what hip hop is supposed to be...an exchange of thoughts over rhythms...like in the 90's...imma small time mc fame wise compared to nas...see how industry fucks up the music...Jet Black Knight may be over they beat, but the words are what carry the song...bunch of monkies the world is lmao

[nettarxX]

[KevinTheVillian]

@nettarxX I'll make sure it does!

[caslan01]

[Lucincorporated]

check out my verse I did to this, Just starting out so I need some comments, Thanks and peace

[killahkazi]

Tragedy he used to come thru all the time, I'm talking juice crew not what the word define. 

[JoeEC420]

This Song is the VERY Reason nasty nas Is Way Better Than Jay z

and i'm one who likes the song bonnie and clyde

so thats saying a lot

[ganjasmokintildeath]

@JoeEC420 i think ether is the reason nas is better but then again theres lots of reasons, and that bonnie and clyde thing wit beyonce that whole song was bitten from tupac, down 2 the chorus FUCK JAY Z

[JoeEC420]

@ganjasmokintildeath i know all about how he stole tupac and influenced lil wayne and even said he wass better than big i agree fuck jay z that puppet is gay

[ganjasmokintildeath]

@JoeEC420 lol, ugghh dont even mention lil wayne, i mean i used 2 like lil wayne all the way up until carter 3 and all that gay shit, drought 3 was his best stuff and sum1 else wrote all of it and every song was bitten from sum1 else so jus goes 2 show how great he really is, but u prolly already know this shit

[JoeEC420]

@ganjasmokintildeath Its okay that you follow a retard ya know 2pac and nas weren't just niggas they were educated niggas who changed the face of hip hop so do what YOU wan't but don't try changing my opinion that lil wayne is a swagger jacking retard as you can see i go against the wind i don't like drake lil wayng or nicki minaj fuck em all and there brain washing puppet Pop stuff

[JoeEC420]

@ganjasmokintildeath  Its okay that you follow a retard ya know 2pac and nas weren't just niggas they were educated niggas who changed the face of hip hop so do what YOU wan't but don't try changing my opinion that lil wayne is a swagger jacking retard as you can see i go against the wind i don't like drake lil wayng or nicki minaj fuck em all and there brain washing puppet Pop stuff

[ganjasmokintildeath]

@JoeEC420 wtf r u talkin about nigga can you read? i said i dont like that shit!! i said lil waynes best shit was all bitten from sum1 else lmao, no1s trying 2 change your opinion im trying 2 tell you i have the exact same 1 as you, i said "jus goes 2 show how great he really is" cant you sense the sarcasm in my context brotha damn, and when did i say niggas even once?when did i say they were just niggas? wtf r u smokn boy put the pipe down and pick up a fuckin book hahaaha

[JoeEC420]

@ganjasmokintildeath oh okay

[EndLikeLeviathan]

@JoeEC420 to say that one song or even one album is the reason why nas is better than jay-z or any other MC is to trivialize the passion and vigor with which nas propelled himself to the apex of hiphop. nas is greater than hiphop. he is a testament to the human spirit: a monument that immortalizes the virtues of hardwork and utter dedication. nas is greater than any MC because of his unequivocal love for his life's calling, not because of a 4 minute track or a 50 minute album. the GOAT.

[Aedifi]

This song gives me goose bumps every single time...

[MrSogli]

Amazing

[pathorne2]

"Because ten years ago we all strive to be 25, and some cats did not make it a live."

[jordan3649]

"Disciple" by Nas is a must-hear also

[TheJohnnyDMusic]

this track gives me good vibes every time.. Timeless.

[StageTurn]

@TheJohnnyDMusic that's because he got it from "The Wiz" soundtrack lol. "What would I do if I could feel" I kept trying to "Shazaam" the Wiz song but it kept bringin up THIS song.

[MfknSunShii]

I play this song on every single valley ride after twisting one up.

[Monreae1]

Illmatic lyricist coming at u full blast... pick up ur head phones, take a deep breath, and press play,,,,Dope track true hip hop*

[XiuTheFeared]

What production. What a fuckin story I just listened to, amazin word play.

[knaankos]

Nas is so great. I here a song by him and think "That's his best" but then I hear another and think the same thing. Truth is, he has like 30 songs that would be the absolute best for many many rappers

[KausingMuchDamage]

best track from Nas.

[lounash1]

This is one of the illest tracks ever laid....Nas=G.O.A.T.....Shout out to Chris Webber for the beat!

[MrNasillmatic]

Nas should be gettin more nice beats (productions) like this one...

[12guageINDIANAboy]

This is some great classic shit, and its pretty new too!! There is still hope for hip hop. Its mostly underground though. Underground is where all the talent is now days. Im just glad that nas is a real mother fucker and knows to carry on tradition and keep it real in this game.

[RohainArora]

Hi everyone! Please lend me your ears and check out my version of "surviving the times". Qualitywise and content wise its worth your time. The song is about my 2 best friend and our different journeys in life. We used to be so close, but differences in lifestyles and finances led us apart. I've put a lot of emotion in this song and I've added my personal touches to make this version different from Nas "one of the greatest poets alive".

thank you

Rohain Arora - Surviving The Times

[415Underdog]

vivid yet rugged story telling

[stepmics]

nas is the most slassic mc of all time im sorry to the other well respected rappers but nas is my idol always will be god'son now and for ever

[11YupYup]

this is one of my favorite track. Why the fuck would anybody dislike this? i swear some ppl do not know what good music is.

[AshleyPearce123]

@samstern145 your trippin maate

[2pactillidi3]

[ShhImCool]

@2pactillidi3 Nipsey Russel

[dejavu23dejavu]

[loudbeatliker]

[estamuybien]

[cellphone1214]

C WEBB PRODUCED THISSSSSS



[chitown2251972]

The beginning of this song was sampled from the movie "The Wiz" If you don't believe me, Youtube it and go to the scene when they first run into the Tin Man...

[futurekingofpop]

@chitown2251972 lol i remember it aha

[BigSlick425]

"I'm seein' hoes sex in the studio bathroom

With rap dudes, thinkin' wow, she moved me

Same girl then, right now's a groupie

Back then she was like the star in the movie"

[GrownNtuitionz]

U cant get no nycr than dis. Nas cud stop rappn ryte now n i dont thynk hip hop cud b savd!

[Jun0w13]

from back in the days 

[CertifiedBarz]

Nas & Game are the only REAL rappers left...

[MeAgainstTheRadio]

@CertifiedBarz

That is untrue.

[CertifiedBarz]

@MeAgainstTheRadio Nearly every rapper went mainstream..even Snoop...

But Nas & Game have never sold they souls

/watch?v=1cuHH4rRYjE

[MeAgainstTheRadio]

@CertifiedBarz

Rap is a music genre.

Nas, Snoop, Game, everyone famous rapper you know, is MAINSTREAM.

Doesn't matter if they use real beats, are lyrical, or whatever, they are famous and that makes them mainstream.

Rap is a genre that consists of many styles. The most common style right now is that pussy ass "Swag" style as used by Lil Wayne.

Real talent hides behind the light and lives in a thing called Underground Rap. Why? Because the industries WANT to make money and what people like.

[MagicalMicrowave]

@MeAgainstTheRadio hahaha relax. anyways who in their right mind DOESN'T want to make money ?? lol

[bboyquest9]

@CertifiedBarz nah not really game... Id say more like Joe Budden or Jadakiss. Sorry but then again im not a big fan of game. I liked his one album and that was it... But yo I reccomend you check out State of you by Joe Budden. Id even say check out The Roots "The Lesson Pt. 3" thats shit is hot and they still didnt blow after that. Thats people who are in it for the music not money.

[mannyvfresh]

This is one of them songs u have to listen to closely.

[CostelBaciu]

fell it i miss old school

[TCkrazy]

[PanchoVillista]

[Ravatar]

@PanchoVillista It samples "What Would I Do if I Could Feel?" by Nipsey Russell

[evoke1988]

@sterlin1m Do you know who the guy who is talking at the beginning?

[sapierlouipopet]

@evoke1988 Nipsey Russell "What would I do", the original track Nas sampled. Both are dope!

[illbonez]

Go to ology-dot-com to vote on the greatest hip-hop artist of all time. The best from the Old School, 90's Mafioso, Millenium & New School brackets face each other in elimanation rounds. It is currently the last eight with Rakim V NWA in Old School, 2Pac V Nas in 90's, Eminem V Common in Millenium & Lupe V Game in New School. Get Rakim, Nas, Common & Lupe for the wins!

[chuckieboy1988]

[kanakanaka85]

So Real. Sampled this from The Wiz. People just have no idea about the history behind the things of life. Go read up, get your facts straight and learn something.

[PRHSBaseball11]

Take notes Waka

[MysteryMixes]

Nas is by far the best rapper who can truly tell a story through music.

[Thelucashughes]
