05 - Nas - the lost tapes - No Idea's Original

[bobofthewood]

barry white ftw

[Skye525]

HARD!!!!

[lakeobilt1]

Jay inferior.....Wayne inferior......Kanye inferior

[Mad01sg]

Nas to Wayne haha not even the same kind of music HAHA so true and the funniest thing thus far today... and those drums ton loc? love the combo of samples stacked to compose this track..

[HipHopAintDead718]

Greatest of all time, Nas is a gift to hip hop

[shamund]

"Watching for paint chips..don't want no lead in your child, but them gangsta put lead in your child..."

[Themilkman666]

If you think wayne is the best then you care about the shit that makes you inferior anyway

[chocolatebx25]

@ThumbsUpMike well said....

[MyDogBrownie]

No Ideas Original=Grown Man Business

[kinstube]

Kids listened, Five Percenters said it's pork and Jell-o

We coincide, we in the same life, maybe a time difference

on a different coast, but we share the same sunlight

[dragunovful]

@kinstube Uhm...where the hell did that come from?

[kinstube]

@dragunovful @1:20 !!!!

[kinstube]

@kinstube *there's pork in jell-o

[dragunovful]

@kinstube Lol sorry my bad I'm a dumbass and was a little out of it. How the hell I missed that when I've heard this like 50 times is a mystery.

[kinstube]

@dragunovful NO WORRIES.

[hot1fromnc]

@dragunovful yea i go back and listen to Nas all the time and find something new, dude is too nice with the rhymes.

[dragunovful]

@hot1fromnc So true.

[oscarthegrouch420]

nas is 1 of the best to ever do it

[samharriman]

the beats

[KebbyTheProphet]

what you base your happiness on?

[iiBacKPacKz]

Nas is the best rapper ever, a lot of top fives are

Tupac

Bigg

Nas

Rakim

Krs1

But I think biggie and tupac are overrated not taking anything away from them thats just my opinion.

[eldeano1]

@iiBacKPacKz I think they are hyped up so much but if you ignore all that they are still some of the best .

[Dylan808Raynes]

anyone else listen to classic hip hop such as nas an think damn wtf am i listening to now a days? cause fuck i dont think lil wayne could fuck with nas's wordplay. i like wayne but not as much as nas an others.

[MarkPheonix]

This is most likely my favorite song from him

[GregGeezSWP]

outfit @ 2: 12 is FRESH

[papamojoes818]

"what you base your happiness on material women and large paper that means you inferior not major" fuckin genius god giving talent.

[leelee1434]

i really dont see how pussies that rap half as slow and with way less talent like lil wayne get more respect than dudes like nas

[ThumbsUpMike]

@leelee1434 Cuz people are legit stupid and cant comprehend lyrical skill and poetic talent

I remember in english classes back when i was in high school, we were reading langston hughes poetry and no one understood any poetry he wrote and i was like really guys

Thats what Nas is to mainstream brain dead america, hes langston hughes in a world of dr. suess ryhmes

[milesherrera333]

@leelee1434 those r drones not b boys

[BradyReviewz]

This beat is amazing!! Nas = Legend

[soniaann95]

Fuck that person who thumbs downed this shit!!! It BETTER be an accident and if it's not Dont Let Me Find Out!!!

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

@soniaann95 soulja boi disliked it

[cantstopthereign100]

NAS IS A POET..CLASSIC SHIT!!!

[ilovekellyclarksonxx]

Respond to this video... its always there nas is the best because no other mc has made me say god damn more. dunno y ppl h8, i hear this h8 n no matter what nas cd i put on i listen n laugh. laugh because hes so ill its funny like thats all u can do

[ilovekellyclarksonxx]

yo nas is goat master of spittin multiple multiples n nastradaumus woulda been considered a pretty good alblum by ne other rapper but they compared it to illmatic. but his verse on last words is a verse only nas at his best can spit so his talent was there just not all the way thru

[WNSoren]

this is nuts

nas def my favorite rapper

[johnlansing14]

I'm Guessing that Jay-z was the only dislike on this video also?

[Streetrapper2008]

Nas' flow is dope as hell. But they should put this song on the radio instead of listen to new hip hop.

[sman88capitals]

genisis is deep

my features are that of a god

its not a fasade

its a fact these rappers wanna be nas

SIIIIIIK

[johnlansing14]

@sman88capitals that is by far my favorite line in that song



[graphicboy77]

I am a true Nas supporter and follower and I dont understand why you youngins continue to compare Nas to wayne.. Wayne may have a punch line or 2 but his flow, voice and lyrical content and lack of a true message makes it totaly impossible to listen to more than 2 songs in a row! Nas is my generation and Wayne is yours but whos lyrics woll live on long after theyre expiration?

[THEJustinSimmons]

@graphicboy77 all wayne does is spit metaphors wtf people are actually comparing him to the king?

[Themilkman666]

@graphicboy77 Hey I'm 20 and Wayne is not the music of my generation. Wayne is a fool on syrup.

[AshtonMY1]

Classic... This is real hip hop.

[OxKing97]

That was amazing, subing (:

[ScubaDude79]

If niggas could look inside my mind you'll find

where bodies are buried, first look past the hotties who dimes

go to the center enter with caution

pass the brain cell graveyard where weed's responsible for memory losses

witness

the horriffic

the stench'll make you nauseous

see what I seen, everyday I live with this torture

DAMN!

[pirus510]

@relaxedncalm stop letting him troll you

[RelaxednCaIm]

@pirus510

i was trolling

[ThumbsUpMike]

FUCK THAT 6 FOOT 7 FOOT SONG!

i heard that shit, that shit is just stupid....its about meaningless corny punchlines! punchline songs are weak as hell

THIS SONG IS REAL AS SHIT! AND HAS DEEP MEANING!

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

6 foot 7 has better lyrics than this.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm are you kidding?

you were fascinated with his lyrics of no meaning what so ever?

i bet you were amazed by his insightful lasagna punchline too

the beginning of Nas's first verse crushes that entire song full of his meaningless punchlines

If i wanted to listen to a song with actually good creative punchlines i woulda listened to Big L

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

the lasagna line kills every nas verse ever recorded, you know it's the truth.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm WOW! that line had NO RELATION AT ALL! it was a cheesy attempt to sound nice over his flashy beats, thats all his career is! Lil Wayne never goes deep!

"i never sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death"

"My insight enlights vision

Words of wisdom, niggaz pay me intuition

To listen, to murder paragraphs of mysticism"

"Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne

I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from home"

ALL BETTER! thats deep poetry!

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

"life is a bitch, and death is her sister

sleep is the cousin, where's the family picture" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> those

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm yeah cuz i bet nas didnt influence that at all?

"Life's a bitch but God forbid the bitch divorce me I'll be flooded wit ice so hellfire can't scorch me"

"I switched my motto instead of sayin fuck tomorrow

That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto"

"My skin is a art gallery, right

With paintings of crucifixes

Hopin' to save me from all the dangers in the music business"

lil wayne never has meaning or stories to tell, HES A FKN TOOL

Nas always relates to reality

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

whats life with out enigma > nas lines

ms.officer > any nas story.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm whats life with out enigma isnt even lil waynes line you tool!

ive heard that phrase a long time ago

ms.officer does not beat undying love! doesnt beat last real nigga alive either!

go learn some fkn hip hop and what it truly is

and by the way...lil wayne has been busted on having ghost writers in the past, whos to say he even wrote anything from 6'7?

want me to pull out his amazing lyricism from phone home or lollipop against you?:)

dont even fkn bother

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

LOL!

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm exactly! got nothing to say

sucks to fuck with people who actually have legit proof to back up their claims doesnt it?

Nas > Lil Wayne

end of story, goodbye!

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

i'm laughing because nas is so wack i can't believe you like him so much. listen to real niggas like wayne and young money, not sissy nas music.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm yes because listening to young money full of songs about money, hoes, and club bullshit is definitely better than Nas music where he's telling stories about reality and exposing the music industry and the secrets of life!

you enjoy your mind dumbing bullshit which EVERY RAPPER does today....no originality in any of your favorite pop sensation rappers

Ill stick to rappers like Nas, rakim, and talib kweli who spit truth and actually make you THINK for once!

now, FUCK OFF

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm yeah cuz everyone in young money makes songs only about money, hoes, club bullshit, and nothing having to do about life with dr suess nursery school rhymes!

Ill stay listening to rappers like Nas, Rakim, and Talib Kweli who spit truth in their songs and actually have a skill with LYRICISM and RHYMES!

and btw mister fucking hypocrite, if Nas is so whack! than how come you listen to his songs?

you commented me on several Nas videos you ignorant fuck

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

because i'd knew you'd get mad and it would be funny.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm nooo......you actually love Nas and know hes better than Lil Wayne

your just a dick rider of what the media considers good and your trying to convince everyone and sadly even yourself that your favor with lil wayne is justified

well sadly for people who have a decent brain with a thought dont follow your logics of a stereotypical 14 year old girl on her period

heres some facts

Illmatic > every hip hop album ever made

guess who mad Illmatic? whoops....NAS DID

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

you lose, i win.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm if you give me any facts with truth behind it then....yeah you would

but you didnt and cant, so guess what......i won:)

when you listen to Nas, you can actually give a reasonable argument

when you listen to lil wayne, you can only make imaginery claims cuz lil wayne fails to give truth in his songs

Nas > Lil Wayne

Me > You

Conversation = Over

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

well one reason is because he sold more in jail than nas did when he was free. i gave you examples of punchlines nas never matched. me and weezy win.

[MagicalMicrowave]

@ThumbsUpMike nas is way better than lil wayne but lil wayne is not def not trash.. funny how u bitch bout him dickridin but then u go dickridin nas haard, lol clowns

[ThumbsUpMike]

@MagicalMicrowave theres a difference between dick riding and spitting facts

go look at the differences of our comments and figure it out for yourself

i am not feeding into this lame ass drama anymore

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm (second comment)

Please enlighten me on how real g's move in silence like lasagna corny ass gay line has anything relate to you in life

explain how its SO DEEP and REAL......try your best:)

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ThumbsUpMike

oh i forgot about this comment, the g is lasagna is silent... "real g move in silence, like lasanga". that has to do with life. weezy is that nigga.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@RelaxednCaIm lil wayne isnt a gangster retard!

hes a wannabe fag, hes been caught in that bluff already cuz the dumbass fucking wore the blood and crip flag on the wrong side in one of his videos along with his faggot lover birdman

and even if he was a legit gangster....THATS A LAME ASS PUN! what kinda hardcore "nigga" compares movement to fkn food?

hes whack and you know it!

if lil wayne made this song and nas had 6'7 you would be dick riding on how dope the lyrics are in this song

[busta09100]

Best Rapper Hands Down

[1993kofi]

Greatest Of All Motherfucking Time

[PeaksMuzic]

Ma tounge is power, it thrills women, kills demons.... gheeessssssseeeeeee that line B)

[JaycutWasHere]

God say's to idolize no man, but I would follow Nas to hell and back.

[ak47trojan08]

if you were the idiot that pressed the dislike button before yo' dumb ass heard the rest of the track, you need to slap yo' self for ruining something FLAWLESS!

[Heronting]

1:54 he looks so fuckin high

[mrwalker107]

"What you base your happiness around material, women, and large paper

That means you inferior & not major"

[converseshoeboy]

1 faggot just had to dislike it just for the sake of it, i bet he plays this shit everyday

[bigpunisher7]

one person likes Jay Z

[NewkOner]

call the police, cuz Nas has murdered your favorite rapper

[bpmcgough]

who the fuck disliked this shit

[LeoBioSoul]

Nas: " Lightin spliffs up to stay high like 24 hours

Sleep with my heat, wash with my gun in the shower

My tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons

Long as I'm still breathin I'm still winnin, I'll teach 'em"

Jay Z: "Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform

You know the type loud as a motor bike

But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight

The only thing that's gonna happen is i'mma get to clapping

Lil wayne: "i pop that pussy"

Souljaboy: " yuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[MuggaReik]

@LeoBioSoul i know what you mean but did you listen to the carter 2 ??

[youngKareem2]

@LeoBioSoul lol very funny I see your point

[rayallen0]

@LeoBioSoul ...um u can take one line from jay & nas to make them sound wack 2...u can find sick wayne lyrics. but regardless jay, wayne & soulja boy have nothing to do with the video and shows the sad state of youtubers mindset when you have to diss to get a thumbs up. thats a diss to the 53 ppl thumbing u up more than you btw. but the comment is stupid.

[LeoBioSoul]

@rayallen0 please, soulja boy, lil wayne, and jay z are the medias bitches son!! jay z was the little wayne of the late 90s early 2000 dumbass theyve always been wack, cant compare any of them to Nas cuz he is in it for the beauty of it, for the art, not like jay z who admitted to making dumb lyrics to make cash, haha you faggot probably listen to drake to0 lmao

[rayallen0]

@LeoBioSoul ya i do. and i still know more about hip hop than you. you are a joke who thinks you know something for listening to Nas. who is mainstream as fuck. and you are saying reasonable doubt wasnt a classic and he has always been wack. you are just a 15 year old who thinks he knows hip hop after listening to nas and the sterotypical "real hip-hop" artists for a year and just hate whoever is popular ATM. you obvioulsly dont understand the lyrics having to bring up other artists.

[rayallen0]

@LeoBioSoul instead of just talking about the lyrics. If you arent 15 or in your teens your just a bitter old man who hates on artists instead of just appreciating the artists he likes. of course soulja boy is wack but i never think about him that song came out 4 years ago and he isnt on my mind like he is on yours. cleanse yourself of hate. its taking you over instead of loving good music you just hate music.

[EnglandLaBelleShow]

Nas music is the reason i can think about all types of Sh*t.. Good looking Fam

[ScubaDude79]

One of my favorite nas tracks of all time. "Genesis is deep/my features are that of a god/it's not a facade it's a fact these rappers wanna be Nas. My exoddus doesn't exist/ I never leave the streets is all in my mind/even with sleep I'm duckin 9's in my dreams..." RIDICULOUS!

[ThumbsUpMike]

Nas escaped reality with this track!

You can tell cuz it only has 100K views:/

Nas is just too amazing for Earth!

[thehiphophead1994]

search the mf doom version of this he produces the beat alot better

[TeejGrant]

Genesis is deep, my features are that of a God/ it's not a facade, it's a fact these rappers wanna be NAS!

WHOA! Murda!

[Cloudgatekeeper]

illmatic classic

it was written classic

i am classic

stillmatic classic

lost tapes classic

untitled classic

[Cloudgatekeeper]

@Cloudgatekeeper forgot hip hop is dead classic

[shmantiks]

@Cloudgatekeeper god's son?

[Cloudgatekeeper]

@shmantiks close to being classic.........to me.............it did not have as many jewels and gems like mentioned.

[RelaxednCaIm]

@Cloudgatekeeper

i am was not classic, though it had classic tracks. god's son is easily better than HHID and Untitled, and those albums aren't classic either.

[LeoBioSoul]

@Cloudgatekeeper gods son classic !!!! streets disciple classic

[BRONXQUEE]

@Cloudgatekeeper u forgot God Son and Hip Hop is Dead

[DScribeThat]

@Cloudgatekeeper

I don't know if Untitled was a classic...

[LWebb1000]

@DScribeThat Its a great album regardless.

[DScribeThat]

@LWebb1000 True. Nas always drops jewels

[Cloudgatekeeper]

@DScribeThat TO ME IT'S A CLASSIC.....IM FREE TO EXPRESS OWN OPINION. nobody in hiphop has ever even done anything like that album.......who would it be bad?....it's never been done....it's original...:)

[MeAgainstTheRadio]

@Cloudgatekeeper

I agree that Illmatic, It Was Written, & Lost Tapes were classics but seriously, Untitled and I Am? Those sucked ass imo.

Replace I Am with God's Son and Untitled with Distant Relatives w Damian Marley.

[RelaxednCaIm]

@MeAgainstTheRadio

how does i am suck? some of his best songs are on i am.

[kmg0330]

@MeAgainstTheRadio I agree with everything else but Untitled and I Am sucked ass???? Wow..to each his own though.

[davidridgell]

@Cloudgatekeeper GODS SON CLASSIC ORIGINAL I AM NASTRADAMAS BOOTLEG IS FLAWLESS

[dembears85]

@Cloudgatekeeper illmatic classic

it was written classic

stillmatic classic

lost tapes classic

god's son classic

street's disciple classic

hip hop is dead classic

[jose4891]

@Cloudgatekeeper Illmatic, It Was Written, and The Lost Tapes are Nas' classics... come on i'm a huge fan he's my favorite MC but you can't go around stanning like that. "I Am" was totally meant to be a classic but the whole process of putting the album together got screwed up with song leaks so it didn't come out right. Stillmatic was alright, but not a classic at all. Too many weak points. Untitled? Come on. It's a 3.5/5. God's Son is better than both Stillmatic and Untitled.

[NY1love]

@jose4891 opinions. Their worthless. your 3.5 is someone elses 5, and vica versa.

[Timchang1]

@Cloudgatekeeper FUCKING Rite!!

[dagr8rylz]

How appropriate to use this beat for this song R.I.P.

real talk how many rappers went nuts on this beat

[dagr8rylz]

@dagr8rylz R.I.P Barry White

[mcsuchnsuch]

"Its like, God or guns...which is better protection?// can decide, thats a hard one."

one of MY favorite Nas lines....but his best verse i still gotta go with Verbal Intercourse. 

[pls7771]

Genesis is deep...My features are that of a God, its not a fasuad, its a fact these rappers wanna be Nas....Wew

[SuperhptPINKYx3]

I'm in love with Nas' lyricism.

[lilochoa17]

if you really listened to this song then you kno he kilt it... badly !

[papersoulja27]

@lilochoa17 --->chu talkin bout man--> one of his best

[jcannion]

Top 10 = Big L, Biggie, Nas, Jay, KRS One, Eminem, Sean Price, Rakim, Redman, Fat Joe

[alrai786]

@jcannion No way Fat Joe is in that line up.

wheres 2pac ice cube and scarface??

[jcannion]

@alrai786 Scarfac and Cube, maybe... But Pac? No. Pac wasn't a lyricist like that. Pac had the most swag, and overall showman ship, but he wasn't that nice of a lyricist. He really had the same cadence throughout most of his career.

[alrai786]

@jcannion Truss! Pac was mental in terms of lyrics...

Think about it... songs likee Dear Mama, Hit Em Up, Letter 2 My Unborn, Bonnie and Clyde, Breathin, Ghetto Gospel, CHANGES? ....

Ahh 2Pac is one of the all time greats... but i still prefer Cube and Scarface, KRS One, Public Enemies and them lot...

[CitySkin09]

This song is a beast!

[nycolombian91]

@Shoe3003 Yeah..

[girlsofdos2010]

[MalikCM]

GOD OR GUNS

WHICH ONES THE BETTER PROTECTION?

[Radjuk]

This version sucks. Version from "Stillmatic" (as a bonus track) is much much much better.

[salsa2good]

@Radjuk

no

[keymusic100]

simply beautiful, sit back and FEEL this.

[Antrizzle2009]

How can someone listen to this and NOT think Nas is the greatest rapper of all time?

[WallabeeKing]

Its like God or guns, which is better protection?

[ReyDaDonPtown]

1:22 - 2:00 was epic

[SizzleStep]

one question, how is still lost if they found it? Should be Found Tapes bihh

[BIGROYTHEDON]

or maybe im just old now and need to let these youngsters have their music

[BIGROYTHEDON]

i love nas ...i wish he had more commercial success so more rappers would try and emulate him(in a good way not bitin his shit like jay z) then the rap game would be diffrent

[p2a2r2a2noid]

nas is a god of rap whoever thinks lil wayne is tha best should learn how to listen to tha music and not follow tha crowd
