THE LOST TAPES 2 IN STORES NOW 

[lilnizzy22]

[IRPeak]

@lilnizzy22 he dissed Jay a helluva a lot.

[irreversible13]

nas got a fucking flow since 90's,he's a killer and he's better than jay-z to my opinion

[tafari12g]

[THEBLACKCLOUD94]

Nas is basically The Shit

[andrebugz]

THIS TRACK PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP MY LIFE STORY !

[WeAReTHeCLAsSiX]

Nas is my Favorite rapper and I look up to him and lupe the most for being true lyricist. and figuring how i'm 16 and an upcoming artist myself i felt I had to go my hardest on his instrumental so listen to my "book of rhymes" about my life.. give it a chance its nice.

youtube.com/watch?v=Y8STk5c1jh­­Y

[LEAHCIM829]

No, Nas, "Your Da Man" lol:)

[23viktor23]

Nas will always be matic and kill jay anyday

[Joesexy424]

this is his best track he made, i think, so far

[zacharygjohnson]

@Joesexy424 Its hot but there are too many classics he made to make that statement.

[GrownNtuitionz]

I hold cannonz dat shoot ballz of flame!!!

[007DefCon3]

Wish I could flap wings and fly away 2 where black kings in Ghana stay

[GTD9002]

How I Smoke In So Much La (Weed) I Saw A Dead Bird Flying Through A Broken Sky The First Time I Heard That i Was Like WTF I Was Buggin Out Cause i Was High As Fuck.

[sunzyu1]

@GTD9002

Yeah that was the illest verse on the whole album.

[DeLaSales83]

GOOSE BUMPS MUSIC........ DE JA VU when I heard this ! ! ! This most have been popular in another lifetime.

[2pacinseattle]

EPIC

Nas is so timeless.............

[gbliss88]

this song is waaayyyyy underrated... has to be in my top 10 lyrically of nas or even anybody else

[elvispaul7]

true lyricist

[daillest2oo]

you arms too short to box with god!

[Julianatz]

You're da man habari gani!

[oconstanti]

greatest of al; time no question

[neonblitz]

this is one of those songs that would make you realise no1 is touching nas dead or alive lyrically...

[NUTSY187]

''i dont kill soloists only kill squads, fame went to they heads so now its 'fuck nas' yesterday you begged for a deal,today you tough guys''....i agree, jay-z might be da better hustler but nas is king.....

[HighandMighty609]

This shits hot...Would like to hear Nas spit over a Top Scholars Beat!!

[shaxxxxy]

nas > big + pac, imagine if nas died after it was written, contraversity sell but it aint like death my nigga, illmatic blew pac's mind and then came it was written with tracks like (I Gave U POwer, take it in blood, if i ruled the world, the message) pac couldnt escape the presence of these tracks thats why they beefed but then they crushed it

[shaxxxxy]

wow

[psychologicznawojna]

the questions asker

[psychologicznawojna]

whos produced this track?

[shaxxxxy]

@psychologicznawojna large professor my man the same guy that produced some classics on illmatic, he had to be bak on stillmatic with this amazing beat, check the sample from which this track was brought

[sunzyu1]

...i fathered u(Nas referencing how he gave Jay his style)/i kept changing on the world like Bar-B-Que

...now u wanna hang wit niggas i hung wit (jay befriended Big, AZ, Cormega etc. after nas knew them) fuck bitches i hit (jay fucked wit Foxy, Mary J. Bliege, and Nas's babymom's after Nas had fucked them)

nas dug into jay on this track

[XoDpTheSainToX]

Tupac4lyfe. fuck this fake bitch. nas sux compared 2 tupac. tupac is a real G. Fuck all of you Nas fans

[LesNowoh]

@XoDpTheSainToX fuck you too

[yezziryessir13]

@XoDpTheSainToX

[christisamust7]

@XoDpTheSainToX just curious..why does Nas suck compared to Pac?

[waterburyBS]

are u on crack???

[christisamust7]

@waterburyBS I was asking homie a question of why does Nas suck compared to Pac as he stated..Are you on crack ????

[macaroniandchesse12]

@XoDpTheSainToX Tupac is great Nas and him are the few that isn't afraid to tell the truth about what is going on today.

[waterburyBS]

@XoDpTheSainToX

if u dont like nas then why u listenin to this song???

[loaeza1]

@XoDpTheSainToX  why you riding pacs dick theyre both good its people like you that is the reason why some of the best rapper are dead because people like you cant grow up....

[Throwbacc7]

I want a Nas & Large Pro album.

[0nly1Deon]

'' Your arms to short to box with god , don't kill soloiest only kill squads''! Than man is a best

[releasemenow]

@0nly1Deon reminds me of "Your little lungs is too small to hotbox wit God " from eminem's song yeeep.

[ChappersLaNoCry]

what eminem song?

[releasemenow]

@releasemenow UH off hand I think Bitch please 2, youmight have to check lol

[0nly1Deon]

Nas is bitting clouds. No body is fucking with. When they make shit better than this and rewind.. then come talk until then Keep listening to the fakes. But Drakes coming up. And with a hip hop sttyle..

[hennylo68]

Did you just mention drake in the same sentence as nas?

[ripwoodydawg]

@hennylo68 and to who ever used drake and nas in the same sentence go listen to drake nas is too lyrical for u drake dick riders

[hennylo68]

@ripwoodydawg I wonder how he still feels about that comment one year later.

[Clipse402]

@hennylo68 i hope he put "nowhere fucking near" before nas and after drake

[Dopestuhhh]

my fAvorite song ugh! Im the N the A the S I R if i wasnt i must of been escobar :)h haha

[Skorchunruli]

caleblj23 I feel you dog he fuckin never fell off all those fuckin albums are full of fuckin great songs. Plus you can go song for fuckin song with the average joe of now and he'll win by a fuckin land slide. As far as his later works go; I liked hip is dead even though it's alive, but the nigger album fuckin dissapointed me. I'm anxious to hear his next new shit though. It has a good chance of being fuckin awesome.

[Rivalthedon]

yo how can the untitled album disappoint you. That is the album up there with Stillmatic and Illmatic. My favorite Nas album is sill I Am...though.

[lordph3nom]

now its clear why the struggle was so painful metamorphisis this what i changed to and God im so thankful

[LJMO85]

NAS IS THE GREATEST!! AND THATS THAT

[caleblj23]

I hate when people say nas only had one good album and he sucked after that. Stillmatics, HHID, and It Was Written are all 95 % better than rap albums today.

[BuntysTube]

People that think Nas is a one album hit clearly dont understand and appreicate true hip hop not that fake ass shit like today.... so is there opinion even worth considering...its like taking george bush opinin on world peace seriously.... lol

[CVplayaya321]

damn straight

[shonha1]

Jay started that bullshit on TakeOver, nd the bandwagonists jumped allover 1 of the biggest lies ever put on a record.

[Np8sD0JX0xcZ7]

Nas is why i listen to hip hop

[00579G47]

Classic!!!

[labarbie612]

I love you nas you is so fly like omg I love u! Your Da man!

[wiiboy555]

if ur not payin attention the "ur da man" hook sounds like "jigga man" lol

Nas > Jay Z

[Razorzero925]

Your arms to short to box with gods i dont kill soloists only kill squads! best lyrical rapper to this day Awesome song iI also reccomend Remember the times H to the Omo One Mic 2nd childhood The Flyest and of course just a moment!

[macq76]

nas split the oceans....but he didnt follow his moses...hes the god..its so hard...word to life

[youngdopeyz500z]

nas aint no God wtfuzz?

[wade12393]

this is the 1st nas song i eva listened 2 and i've been hooked since

nas=legend

[MultiMuchacho]

Nas Is The Greatest Hip-Hop Artist Ever that's STILL LIVING! He's The 1 AND ONLY TRUE SAVIOUR OF HIP-HOP!

[elymanning10]

AMEN

[tupacalypse88]

ha ha u said ever thats still living. hes in the top i still like rakim at number one though

[artace1987]

@MultiMuchacho I agree. He's my favorite rapper of all time.

[xShadow607x]

@MultiMuchacho How could he have saved hip-hop when it didn't start dying untill long after his era?

[MultiMuchacho]

@xShadow607x Use your Fucking brain like the other 63 people did you fucking idiot and figure it out.

[tobyy]

if i wasn't i must have been escobar

[rayray4086]

He shit on Jay in this record. "Fame went to their head, so now it's fuck Nas/ Yesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guys?"

[ReyDaDonPtown]

@rayray4086 it was aimed at 50...go lisen to dont body your self...i know hes aiming that shit at 50 cause their from tha same hood and 50 use to do songs with brave hearts...but i do see why u think it was aimed at j...

[rayray4086]

@ReyDaDonPtown but this song was made about 5 years before 50 and Nas had beef with each other, and also in the midst of his beef with Jay. We all know Jay couldn't find a deal for sh*t, thus the reason he built the Roc.

[ReyDaDonPtown]

@rayray4086 u right... i was thinkin he was aiming that shit at 50 cause 50 threw a jab at nas in "high till i die" and that was like around 03 and i was thinking Stillmatic was released in 03 for some reson but it was really released in 01... i was only 11 or 12 when this shit was going on so thats why i got it twisted...ur right tho thats my bad

[sekky123]

@ReyDaDonPtown because this song was made way befor 50 blew up......

[BarackObama226]

@rayray4086 then he said now u wanna hang wit niggas i hung wit?

fuck bitches i hit?

[aziatic233]

@rayray4086

he's not talking about Jay Z... he's talkin about Cormega & Nature who begged him for Deals growing up, and then made records like "Fuck Nas" by Cormega........Jay Z never asked Nas for a record deal

[rayray4086]

@aziatic233 I dunno, you could be right, but when he said "Fame went to their head..." i assume it's about Jay because Cormega and Nature were never famous.

[rsax1999]

@rayray4086 That's to Mobb Deep not Jay-Z

[rayray4086]

@rsax1999 Nope, because he goes on to say: "Now you wanna hang with niggaz i hung with/ fuck bitches i hit..." That's in reference to Jay's relationship with Carmen.

[bxchick90]

nas is the rapper everybody looks up to he just to real

[kingskuf]

nas too real, nas true king

[soulfulafrican11]

"I saw a dead bird fyling through a broken sky!!" WHAT?? This is one of the best lyricists of all time. Solja boy, pay attention.

[techno3939]

The songs on it was written together form my favorite album of all time, and there nothing compared to this, its just... Beautiful

[gta4ratman]

honestly i have heard everysingle Nas song and for some reason this is my favorite. to me its better than any ilmatic or stillmatic song, i dunno why but it just is

[gta4ratman]

i spelt Illmatic wrong my bad

[livblu]

Same

[neonblitz]

NaS is Da Man.

[GermnKiller]

sick!!!!

5*

[suckmykickz]

N-A-To tha S-I-R & if I wasnt I mustve been escobar

[carlosrolling]

this is one of the deepest songs I ever heard

[rayochapin]

Props to Nas, Rodriguez's Sugar Man sample, if you guys here don't who he is, search, sugar man, by Sixto Rodrguez, or Rodriguez

[mzgabbylovesmoney]

Love nas.he is one of the best rappers to ever done it!!!This is one of my fav songs!!

[DAKIDJERZEYNEEZ]

lmaoo....dildo man lol

[ehmonja]

2:59 onwards is hella funny

[pbergeron2]

only reason some people say pac is better that nas is cause pac died young, and everyone hyped him up. If nas died young Nas would be called the best.

[MultiMuchacho]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT! THAT"S EXACTLY WHAT MY BIG BROTHA SAID YEARS AGO! An i'm sittin here smoked out like WHOA! You guys were right.....

[scarletspider03]

dat was partly true but really da reason why pac prevailed more than nas for no 1 nas diss him on the album it was written and pac came back harder than nas no 2 2pac was real everything pac said is stonecold true and he was being fake bout bein a gangster life we he never live dat life dont get me wrong i love nas but pac is more of harsh teacher than nas

[cluckner88]

True, I was a big Pac fan when I was young and also a Nas fan but couldn't comprehend his lyrics. Once I started to figure out what Nas was saying I immediately crowned him the best. Nas' thoughts are way deeper than Pac's and his vocabulary and metaphors are ridiculous. Pac has the voice of persuasion while Nas has the lyrics. Nas>Pac

[cwoherem]

yeh i agree, but for me i still dont fully comprehend his lyrics but i still like him cuz wen u hear him rappin he sounds intellectial

[rayray4086]

I agree.  But that applies to anything or anybody that ends at its prime. The Chappelle Show is a perfect example of ending on top. The same thing happened to Pac & Big. Nas is the better MC, because I like his poetry, but Pac's style was a lil different, he rhymed with more emotion and a stronger tone; Nas is more monotone with his flow. Nas is better, but I don't want Pac's legacy to be tarnished because people believe that he was only hot because he died, he was a thought provoking brother

[pozzog]

nas deserves to b one of the best wit biggie nd pac

[BENYASlN]

you are a thought provoking  cow

[billknows]

Lyrically, nas shits on pac. but pac had the total package of an emcee. he got lyrics(although not on nas's level),image, and street credibility. 2pac is like the MJ of hip hop. and nas is like, u kno wut he like, yall bumb it in ya system every nite.

[ChuloBadGuy]

IProphetI said it the best, Nas really is on another level. Way WAY! past any current mainstream artist PERIOD! From Pappy Mason to William Cooper, my nigga Nas touches on everything. You just gotta be up on your current events to really say you "listen" to Nas lol Real Talk.

[azanahmed]

Nasir is SICKKKKKKK!!!!

p.s.

it sounds like he is saying dildo man

[Sporatic7659]

i wanted to say STFU....till i heard it myself...lmao

[xBallTVx]

Tupac is overrated. People need to get over him. Just because he was shot doesn't make him the best rapper. Nas is the best rapper by far.

[b0bbydigital151]

Thats just your opinion... I love Nas..really do, but I rhather say hes one of the Best.. than make a statement like yours... but then.. thats my opinion. I love P. DIDDY!! hahaha Just Kidding!..Wu-Tang Forever...!

[AznGuy1629]

i agree but i dont think it was just his music that got him his fan base i think it was cuz of that fact that when he spoke wheather it be music or just talkin he was able to move and touch people either way nas is my favorite but still much love to pac

[swordsmans93]

thats exactly true

[ratchettcitynigga]

You can say that shit 1000 more times. Thank you

[SeRoNoordSide]

i still sayin pac better

but i respekt ya opinion..

nas got a other level i know

but pac 2...

they different its a other genre

like some do baseball and some others dudes do cricket ya mean..

but nas in my top 3 homy ONE

[westside159]

This is one of Nas's best songs period . Deep Tune !!!!!!!!

[IProphetI]

Nas is way ahead of his time... dude is on another planet these other fake niggas will never be on his level

[SeRoNoordSide]

pac da best without a doubt

but nas sick to

[Eweezie415]

Pac lyrically cant fuck with nasty at all.... Not in any year... Not in anytime frame....never was able too and he never will be able to... Pac is top 10 but people overrate him very much

[SERGtheANIMAL]

greatest of all time..and u can eat a dick if u disagree

[iFiEND4HiPHOP]

Bring on the cock =D.

[Eweezie415]

U serioursly disagree nasty is the best???? How can u seriously? Nasty is da best clear as day, Ra's protege is better than him yes

[iFiEND4HiPHOP]

No not really, I think Rakim might be better, but he hasn't dropped an album for 10 years now, Kane might be better too, but it's all debatable.

[Eweezie415]

BDK is def smoother but lyrically not fucking with Esco at all... only people fucking with Nasty is Ra, Jay Electronica, and Big Pun...But i say Nasty is better than Ra simply bcuz he's more proven.. more music, shit I'd say Jay Electronica is better than all of them if he made as much music

[iFiEND4HiPHOP]

Elzhi is nasty too, he's pretty close to Nas.

[Eweezie415]

eL is my favorite rapper but lyrically he's top 10, but not fucking with those dudes lyrically... But as a rapper i feel he can be the greatest overrall... Lyrically my dude spazzes out though alot like Talking In My Sleep, Brag Swag, Audio Cinematic n shit... But yea i wont lyrically close him in with Nas until he puts out Ellmatic then ill really see... But yea your cool wit me dude, thats my fav rapper..

[iFiEND4HiPHOP]

After hearing The Preface, he became one of my favorite rappers, I'm waiting for him to really prove himself, if Ellmatic and The Feed come out great, he might take Nas' spot. But then again Distant Relatives is looking really good, so I guess I'll have to see.

[Eweezie415]

Yea the preface and europass r crazy dope.. but Ellmatic will have to do it for me... I think it might. I heard a bit of the world is yours and loved it of course.. But yea i cant wait to see nas and damian at RTB next sunday im just got first level seats and everything... But i feel eL def has nas right now, but he cant fuck with the old nasty yet.... if eL or Jay Elect would have done the film song... i believe they would've truly killed it...although nasty did his thing

[iFiEND4HiPHOP]

I didn't listen to Euro Pass yet, I'm gonna listen to it tomorrow, I think that song Guessing Game is really clever xD anyway, I don't see that song getting much props on internet, and what you mean by the Film song?

[mcpaul9292]

my fuckin dude nasss the best to every liveeeeeeeeee

[OmarHandsome]

smokin so much la, i saw a dead bird flying thru a broken sky...

[pbergeron2]

i usually understand all rhymes, but please dont call me stupid...what does that one mean?

[burnttoast407]

it means he was so high he saw a dead bird flyin through a broken sky

[MrTickman]

people will always put you down but when it comes around get back up

[Futuregohan14]

This is the song that motivates me every single day to get up and do something great, to be somebody in spite of all the people who've told me repeatedly that I can't.

I'll be a freshman at Dartmouth College this fall, and I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to make it without this track to motivate me everyday, when the racists and doubters attacked.

No question, this is the best track he's ever made.

[iamhiphop102]

Im the J the A to the S O N

somebody help me out with the rest

lol

i cant rap for shit but

ive been listenin to nas since i was fuck 3 months old no joke

everysong he has ever been on i have heard lol

somebody complete my ryme lol

[checkfoldcallraise]

im the J the A to the S O N if i wasn't i must've been fucked up then

[illmaticnastynas]

The one that snatched the moon and blew away the sun.

[bigpoppasmurf]

i am j to the a to the son, blast you in the grill so you know you done, im number one, under the sun, burn, as the world turns, watch your girl squirm, herbs, be turned to ash, when theblunt gets passed at half passed tha hour, devour, my sour deisal flower power, dutches encrusted with thc means i day dream, nothings what it seems, illusions causing confusion, whats this doing, so much weed my eyes feel like there glued in.

[jordankicks06]

im the N the A to the S-I-R if i wasnt i must of been ESCOBAR........dude is ridiculous. best to ever do it

[righthere200]

Don't get me wrong. I've got love for Nas coming from a deep place in my soul. But I feel like I just have to make sure credit is given where it is due. This here line, good sir, is inspired by Rakim Allah. Nas did masterfully adapt it though. So did Eminem.

[Whiran]

I'm the R the A to the K I M, if I wasn't why would I say I am?

Very good line, all variations show each artists unique style. But big ups to Rakim for sure, and it is obvious Nas gets a lot of influence from him, but really. What rapper doesn't, man was a genius.

[NaturalThreat1]

You're The Man

[CelticNBA43]

this shyt is nice

[theZodiacDigital]

brilliant. the beat is crazy too. sampling "sugar man" and stuff.

[2xdeadlyas2tecs]

damn I remember laying on the floor in awe of this cd .... thinking how in the hell is this dude this damn brilliant ..... winter 01 senor yr in high school

[sDUBm20]

45 at my waist staring at my reflection,

in the mirror sitting still in the chair like my conception,

when everything around me got cloudy,

the chair became a kings throne, my destiny found me,

it was clear why the struggle was so painful,

metamorphosis this is what i changed too,

god im so thankful

[ambitionz98]

lolcwhy are you rappin when this aint an instrumental there is an instrumental to this jus a lil adive still pretty good liness

[sDUBm20]

just some sick lines man, cant think of many other verses from anyone as ill as this

[iceboxedheart]

thats the ending to the song

pay attention bra

[tfilius]

...In the mirror sitting like Mike Conception (Founder of the Crips or Bloods; dont remember)

[sDUBm20]

i always thought 'my conception' didnt make sense

[smitt614]

nas kills all rappers with his words

[hawknstef]

Oh I'm aware of how hot this song was!

[unique1express]

Nas is still the realest in the game ! Past Present and Future !

[hawknstef]

I was 12 years old when I tried, 26 years old never stopped. Just like I'll always love this song!

[Matija10]

this was a rhyme...are you aware of that? :)

[kuda146]

[Throwbacc7]

Black Kings In Ghana Stay..I love dat line.

[drodude301]

first time i ever smoked weed at 12, this was the first song i listened to. I was in a trance man. Stillmatic = Nas' greatest album
