  • nas is teh best rapper to EVER LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 amazing im like lost for words when i talk about Nas

  • @nicknett8 same people think im gay when i start chattin about nas

  • This is my favourite song of all time.

  • One of the big differences between the"Illmatic" time frame and today is that they had songs that were great and destined to be what we call today as classical. Nowadays people are only concerned with"what's hot" and "who's selling." Music like this asked important questions(who's world is this?) had thought provoking lyrics that gave another outlook on life, and told grim yet insightful stories of the inner-city. Remember all things that are hot must cool off but greatness is always greatness

  • @Bisharoeli truth, timeless lyrics in their eternal relevance.

  • you say CodDorus-I say Naatboy

    100% of people DON'T GIV A FUCK!!!

    92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another vids Dont let hip hop die

  • @CodDorus your a sadcunt

  • @CodDorus That wont help to get this video more views,

    And it's also disrespectfull for Nas to call this names out in his video.

    Also in my view Nas is doing best in this time right now.

  • @FocusedMusik I aint sayin' "Justin Bieber" so who are you talkin' to man?

  • @FocusedMusik are you some kind of music fascist? Who cares what everybody else listens to, it's not a competition. You're not superior just because you reject mainstream / modern culture. The entirely-invented statistics make you seem even more of a pretentious loser.

  • words cant describe how good this song and this video is 

  • What does he means when he says "release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's"??

  • @nitroglicerine78

    the whole line is "Beef with housin police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's" nas is comparing housing police to nazi germany

  • NaS is truly a gift from God...and This is probably the most inspirational track off all time...the message is clear: there is nothing you cannot achieve, the world is yours

  • lil wayne

  • @MrMusicENT lil wayne = dick

  • Work with the Snoop Fool.

  • nas is a true hip hop legend

  • an anthem this is real hip hop positive inspired and fresh. Nowadays it's all fucked up and yeah fuck lil wayne!!!

    Probably everybody knows, but I just don't see any reactions about that..;)

  • I wish they played this in the club and made music like this popular again

  • @BeenaBee play this in a club? lol

  • @BeenaBee yeah why not lol, the only reason why rap is dead to be fair is because dj's support wack hip hop n spin them in clubs, radios etc, theyll make these idiots like anything

  • @BeenaBee as much as i respect this song, i dont think itll be the kind of music to play in clubs..its those radio djs that needs to start puttin real shit on the stations instead of niggaz we hear today

  • @kolisionn true true, maybe I exaggerated a little bit but thats pretty much the point i was trying to make...The DJ's are in power

  • my favorite song of all time

  • Best Lyricist - ?

    King of Flows - Biggie

    Realest - 2Pac

    Best Storyteller - Biggie

    Rawest/Most Emotional - 2Pac

    Most Versatile - Eminem

    do you bitches agree let me kno

  • @GencFenerli1990 Best Lyricist - Guru :D

  • @baguetteman69 Gang starr! =D

  • @Agues17 one of the best yet ;) RIP Guru

  • @baguetteman69 Yep, a part of hip hop is just gone=(

  • best story teller is ghostface

    king of flows is kool g rap

    rawest/most emotional is Mos Def

    Most Versatile is Kool Keith/Common

    Best lyricist; None Other than the Prodigal Son Nasty Nas

  • @nemesis700 

    rawest/most emotional = Tupac for sure

  • nah i take that back, the most VERSATILE is a four way tie including a cat called Benefit...and of course Nas

  • @GencFenerli1990 Biggie has a great flow, but he ain't nowhere near Rakim's flow he a legendary who found out Flow. Eminem most varsitile? I Don't agree. He has talent, can't deny that. Guru is more emotional then Pac and he's real i Agree. Best lyricist should be Nas, Gza, Rakim, Kool G Rap that caliber.

  • @MidlandKruiskade dont forget big pun and AZ as far as lyricists go

  • @GencFenerli1990 best flow big L best story teller G rap most emotional Nas realest Nas
