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".
@raoulhery nas is not a great performer and jay live shows be waay better BUT nas' lyrical content tops jayz and damnear any other rapper. u gotta give jay credit b/c u can tell he prepares for his shit... he worked extra hard and to top nas has always been his motivation. nas came into hip hop as a legend! so while godson is puffing blunts, jay z doing cardio and breathing exercises. lol its easy to see that jay worked way harder but nas' talent is too deep for any competition
instead of sayin fiveo he said 50. haha Nas is the truth. i wish that woulda been me, i have the whole surviving the times memorized. love that track. Nas is the best alive, he has so many classic/amazing songs he dont even remember a few of em. lol, true greatness.
Man that guy is so lucky, that would be a dream come true. I would be so damned nervous though, when he handed the guy the mic I would have gone nuts.
I don't know if even Lupe would agree lol. You know Nas is like his idol right? Lupe is definitely a phenomenon right now. One of the greatest lyricists ever probably. Which is probably what you meant by him being the "best" as opposed to the "greatest"
lupe himself as a kid was put off rapping from the vulgarity of NWA.but started rapping when he heard nas's it was written...i think that says it all...if lupe is to take the crown then nas will have to retire & hand it to him
I have got the new version of this song with alicia keys. its not as good as like this but different. if you want you can check it on my profile. peace
Um the this concert was few days after he made this song dumbass. Nas didn't even fully memorized the lyrics. To have a fan that know some parts of the verse already is truly a Nas fan. So "Fuk" you.
this is a great example of y nas is the greatest rapper of all time.....and then he lets his fans get into his fun on stage also....fukk that...NAS FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
NaS voice had gone a little bad over the years, cuz of smokin' blunts and sh*! But his talent is growing better and better, and he has a great influence on rappers that " sound " better than him like the guy that he was with
wtf with these racist shmucks commenting below...leave that stuff out....its 2007 u dumbasses...and i was there that day....nas' performance was worth it....N-A-S = true HipHOp
If you actually listen to his music Frank787922, you might understand a little more what he is about, what he embodies, and what he has done. Hear "one mic" then you`ll see the talent. Everybody got different taste, Just because you don`t like it, doesn`t mean it`s garbage......
cool video from nas but omg I made a new account just to help promote this new guy hes amazing. If you havent seen him yet Search Hamilton Marshall! Best new singer on YouTube!
Word up son, word. Real niggas keep it thoro and don`t care about these wack-ass motherfuckers any motherfucking way. We know wats good, and wats hood, know I mean.....
This is a cool video!!!! have you all seen that new guy Hamilton Marshall yet? If not you need to search him Hamilton Marshall!!! Hes amazingggggggg <3<3<3<3<3 Subscribe!! Lets get him out there!!
Yo! I was there last Friday night. I had the dope spot watching this show. EPMD, Slick Rick, Jeru the Damaga, a punk rock band, and some wack ass Alabama rappers. Nas was great.
I love EMPD, Slick Rick was kind of wack. Nas killed that shit. Made you look was his last song and he jumped in the crowd. He gives a good show. J-
slick rick is old skool...hes good at story telling...listen to The Great Adventures of Slick Rick....and this song with Canibus called King Piece In The Chess Game...
