nas new york state of mind 2

[slimprofessor]

for any kids who don't know this was recorded when nas was 19 yrs old ... insane

[slimprofessor]

@slimprofessor thought this was pt 1 either way nas was recording classic music so being "young and wild and free" is not an excuse to be on some dumb reckless shit

[Bangura187]

this is probably one of his most underrated songs, kind of surprisly too because his best song imo is the NY STATE OF MIND

[bluntsnroaches]

they bust a u-ey i jogg , no specific reason but i randomly say this on a daily basis

[NIcholasNauden]

this the song

[SouthGoblins]

@superwack yu prolle got a pair ov zebra skinny jeans on right now get da fuck outta here

[meromero99waco]

@SuperWackPack ur name says it all smh its obvious you have a wack ass taste in music , u must not have enough brain cells to understand his verbal word play so bounce your wack ass on kid!!

[SuperWackPack]

this is the worst song i have ever heard.. like what the fuck?!!? what he's saying doesnt make any sense what so ever. nas sucks monkey cock. Lil wayne is the shit

[mikeyboy141x]

@SuperWackPack lol you dickhead man, dont listen to the greats like Nas you obviously dont have the brain power to understand Mafioso rap. Stick with your Lil Wayne and Drake bullshit pussy boy

[alphaman19s]

@SuperWackPack <-------- Successful troll

[goodguyj]

nas has one of the most gd up flows and ways of reflecting innercity dealings and harships

[Cluez31]

I knew many of those quiet niggas that relocated down south and came back to floss...

[birdydeathPSN]

jesus,i love hearing people's stories about what this song meant to them,i was only 5 and on the other side of the atalntic in Ireland and this song means as much to me,only 17 now and i ONLY listen to old school hip hop,

[00579G47]

Spring of 99 this was the shit.

[chaosd3m0nz]

Nas is the probably the best story-teller rapper EVER!!!!!

[chaosd3m0nz]

Grew up on this shit

[crealahsantana]

i don't line in nyc but i lived this when it came out

[sp1duh84]

N.Y. State of Mind > Empire State of Mind

[slimprofessor]

@sp1duh84 that doesn't even need to be said hahah

[sp1duh84]

@slimprofessor I know. I just do it piss off the Jigga stans. lol

[Hetkanookanders]

One of the best tracks in music history. Nas is a true scollar

[lazybastard2006]

wtf who the fuck hatin on nas, he the biggest out of all man that chat sense, all the rest on his level are a bunch of fake fucks , this a real nigga that made it ya get me blud,

[videosensei]

All of sudden we got crips and bloods dt's running around quick to split your mug Whoa

[StatesofInception]

20 Niggers ,add 11 bitches equals 31 haters.

[Tobious3000]

JayZ sucks

[guicharguichar]

Listening to this... I dont know what to say... I dont know what to say but that Nas is a fucking beast..

[magicalarmor]

i like the part where he was talkin bout how his niggas were flippin on him

[cannibusman11]

so much better than part one.

[jmi84]

"I'm at the, gamblin spot, my hands on a knot

New York Yankee cap cover my eyes, stand in one spot

I take a nigga dough, send him home, to a shoebox

You lost that nigga I put your dollar in the jukebox"

Ha ha Nas is just NASTY!!!

[goodguyj]

nas is an archaelogist of hip hop

[stopsignssucketh]

Basically, if u believe we are all children of ur god, then secular rap is of god, too then... Btw, I don't believe in god.. Reason>faith.....

[stopsignssucketh]

If ur so-called god is the creator of all, then why oh why would he NOT want u to listen to this? If it's supposedly "gods will" for things to happen, then he put ppl in poverty, drug n gang infested areas, n ppl like nas tell it in a certain way.. But ppl like u wanna say oh I don't listen to secular rap.. Are nas n the like's points less valid because they aren't dropping bible passages every 5 seconds?? I bet u where the first one to jump back on his jock when he came out w "god's son" tho!!

[WiNiIWuGie]

Thats that shit .. ;)))



[hot1fromnc]

@PacmanBonez As long as your taking something good from rap its ok, yes it affects the way you think but that could be good or bad depending on how you react to the information being spoken, we are not all cut from the same cloth, its just like a lot of serial killers who know the bible back to front have tried to justify their killing by the bible bc they perceived it wrong.

[PacmanBonez]

@hot1fromnc ... key word, they 'tried' ... its not that hard to properly interpret

[bigl261991]

thug poet

[sakpasemydude1]

Nas is the storyteller........feels like Im watching a movie when he spits

[Jar0on]

This song is sooo underrated

[goodguyj]

so sick smoking a fat kush spliff to diss shit

[cjhornbeak]

Insane flow. Beat ridiculous.

[MrVibe215]

Realest shit ever.

[theFRACTALREIGN]

Yep Pt.2 edges the first by a hair or a crack needle/

Anyone who says dumb less is spitting straight evil

[a4Blue2Lime]

even today his lyrics couldn't seem more relevant, so raw, nas kills it always.

[juliustaylor86]

I remember this song. This is one of my favorites by Nas.

[maxassasin911]

A sequel to my favourite song...nyce

[dmand678]

NY all Day

[bash031]

That piano is sick....nasty beat ...gritty nas

[brollya]

lik dis if u lik new york state of miind part 2 better

[nandotime3000]

@brollya I don't know... That is a tough one considering the first was fire.

This shit goes dumb hard though. Hahaha

[XmapkeeperX]

you have to have a certain toughness to live in new york city or new jersey. this song is truth.

[akash171096]

CLASSIC.

[kloost11]

This is ART. words are the medium, his style defined by his culture, which has spawned a genius of communication to paint a poignant picture of the plights of inner-city ny.

[WookieMullet]

dope

[BeaumontsBrainsOut]

What happened to music, self expression, originality? Where did music like this go? I know it still exists, but why in this day an age, is it so hard to find? Why is everything that's easy in such high demand? Why do talentless individuals fly in leer jets while the Albert Einsteins of music drive themselves to the gig? Music! Where, and why have you gone away from us?

[LolitaSupreme]

@BeaumontsBrainsOut

Good music, not just good hip-hop, is all underground and indie now. If none of your friends know about a song, chances are it's good.

[xyzxyz313]

still got the album thumbs up if u still do

[goodguyj]

proper track but not even close to the original nas track

[MrJagdeoComedy]

'mama should have cuffed me to the radiator, why not? it might have saved me later from my block, and wild cops'

- perhaps the most gruesome, realest, gulliest two lines ever

[NasEscobar1]

@MrJagdeoComedy it's NY cops, but yeah, word, i'm with ya homie

[NJLev]

@MrJagdeoComedy *NY cops ..hope it doesnt ruin the bar for you lol

[AndRegistration]

@MrJagdeoComedy "NY cops" not "wild cops"

[miniuzi16]

@AndRegistration no its wild.

[NYCSandman34]

@MrJagdeoComedy How is it gruesome? Real yeah...Gully nah.

[DeviousPsy]

@seonfox the fuck??

[lilblingking1491]

@seonfox why didn't YOU kill yourself as a youth?

[seonfox]

@lilblingking1491 I knew I had a future that didn't include doing time in jail

[lilblingking1491]

@seonfox not every rapper gets locked up

[seonfox]

@lilblingking1491 the only rapper I hope lives a long and prosperous life (because he deserves) is Lupe Fiasco :)

[miniuzi16]

@seonfox wow dude.... just wow

[whatisthisidontevens]

Anyone else wonder ... who the fuck dislikes these songs???

[consideredaboss]

I came here for Nas,not bullshit.



[rastapasta64]

Why the fuck are all of you comparing one rapper to another?! They have their own style, personality, and beliefs. Just give each artist the respect they deserve and if they are OG, keep they name out yo mouth

[illagen1]

Bez. Dac. L I. NY

[largeonthestreets]

U guys need to listen to this song from friend lui its called project execution

[LAXcontrol310]

Yeah that is true but l wasn't really out for long. Only released 2 albums?

[LAXcontrol310]

Nas is fuckin ill don't get me wrong, one of my favorite artists BUT I have to say that big L is the greatest to bless the mic.

[InfamousAct]

@LAXcontrol310 Nas' Lyricism and vocabulary is better than L's tho...

[Abqgal]

NY rappers have always had this style that I think makes them better than others. Btw Im from NY

[mrcleanva]

nas spittin imagery. paintin' pictures...gotta love it.

[MrThejake14]

Rappers don't want us to watch copy and paste that crap. They don't want ur charity. But rebcca black does

[MediaBubblesHeads]

First NAS Said NY State Of Mind.....and JAY-Z Came Out On His Blue Print Album Empire State Of Mind,,,C'mom Jay you can do better then playing with words.

NAS said it already NY State Of Mind/Empire State Of Mind.

[lukeb411]

@MediaBubblesHeads - No hate. I agree with you in regards to hip hop. But, Billy Joel came out with New York State of Mind in 1976.

[GreatkingAlexander]

classic new york standup

[PacmanBonez]

i dont listen to secular rap any more, but when i did, this was my favorite song by Nas...

if you want to talk about the level of artistry, Nas had the game on lock

[worldoftruckliner1]

@PacmanBonez Homie...I've been into all kinds of Hip Hop since '91...but I've never heard of secular rap! Can you elaborate? What exactly is "Secular Rap"? I feel like I missed something and I'd like to know, if you don't mind helping.

[PacmanBonez]

@worldoftruckliner1 ... secular, meaning 'of the world' .. basically anything thats not of God

[bigl261991]

@PacmanBonez hey im a christian too. my pops is a pastor n all dst but dat mean i dnt stop listenin ta secular rap. im jus careful wat i fill my mind wit n b careful who i lisen to n if i do listen to other rappers i dnt let effect me as a person. dnt get me wrong i like lacrea he a beast but there are rappers like common n nas n mos def who even tho are not christian they still rap wisdom n realness n its rappers like dat i listen too but i respect ya bruh stay up GOd bless. 1 God

[PacmanBonez]

@bigl261991 galatians6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." 1corinthians15:33 "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." ..... no man is above influence, if you listen to secular rap, it WILL affect the way you think.. for example, it desensitizes you to cursing and all sorts of sins

[dudz40]

@PacmanBonez "secular rap" hahahahahahahhahahaha

[PacmanBonez]

@dudz40  u need something?

[dudz40]

@PacmanBonez Are you gay or just bi, douchebag?

[PacmanBonez]

@dudz40 naw im just a regular dude who tries to respect ppl, something u dont do

[miniuzi16]

@dudz40 lol dudz40 your such a little shithead..

[dudz40]

@miniuzi16 No, miniuzi16, I'm the man, and you know that.

[miniuzi16]

@dudz40 i dont even know who the fuck u r all i know is that ur bitching over a good comment

[RazR131]

@PacmanBonez What made you stop listening?

[PacmanBonez]

@RazR131 .. i was converted to Christ.. im called to honor God w/ everything that i do, whether it be my walk, my talk, how i entertain myself, my relationships, everything.. and believe me, im not a hater, Nas to me is the best rapper lyrically ever, but all the murder the sex the drugs, man i cant put that in my ears anymore .. i hope that makes sense

[Bangura187]

@PacmanBonez Nas is my GOD

[SkyDragonCEO]

Nicer (upbeat) beat but deeper meaning that the first one

[L3athaface]

[EarForceTutorials]

[SkyDragonCEO]

@EarForceTutorials Yeah but the first one was illMatic

[TheSickestVendetta]

Only person who can be compared to Nas is Rakim (I say Rakim has a better flow but that's just me - Nas is still amazing). Those two are the Godfathers.

[Hollowsoulification]

im from boston...and this makes me put the n.y. and boston fued aside...my favorite rapper of all time

[hotglock666]

@Hollowsoulification same man

[ash4245]

[MrSOAD92]

[k21w]

[DoHc3222]

[GTastyReefer]

[mixtapenewsnetwork]

[rosewood2009]

[MrIcewater313]

@YoungOldSchoolRapper calm that bitch shit down. learn how to spell 1st.Then know that i wasnt even messaging you. H.A.N(u know what that means). you'll get FOUND trying to be a wise guy.

[MrIcewater313]

[greendagger87]

@MrIcewater313 nas has been aound longer than bun b and was fuckin wit premo before alot of cats

[JvanThaBeast]

@MrIcewater313 Nas is a guy

[SkyDragonCEO]

@JvanThaBeast Really? That's sarcasm btw smh to whoever didn't know Nas is a guy. Guess they're deaf

[TheRealDeeSantos]

NAS STATE OF MIND

[phonebookmr]

its no ny state of mind but its still sick nasty bro!

[neLAsesh]

I've never been to NY but Nas got me in its state of mind.

[MrIcewater313]

lil wayne got his new album cover ideas from nas..

[lockyrocks1]

@MrIcewater313

Comparing Lil Wayne to Nas is embarrasing

[DKonstantin17]

@lockyrocks1 Indeed it is.

[kingdibbs]

@lockyrocks1 comparing any rapper to Nas is the equivalent of trying to explode a bomb with a stick

[ZachDones]

@lockyrocks1

I think its illegal to do that.

[LolitaSupreme]

@lockyrocks1

Nas is the professor, Lil Wayne is the 5th grader.

[GioCampana]

@LolitaSupreme This is news to me, I didn't even know Lil Wayne made it to the 5th grade, weird.

[hotshitonly1]

@GioCampana WORD! LIL WAYNE MADE IT TO THE 5 GRADE? THATS CRAZY! LIL WAYNE IS TRASH

[shakattak100]

@LolitaSupreme nah wayne is dumber than that. the man has the IQ of the average bear

[LolitaSupreme]

@shakattak100

Don't diss bears.

[smokemadbuds991]

@MrIcewater313 everyone copies Nas. He is the OG, triple OG

[uzzy909]

not as good as the first one but lyrics are ILL

[FrankKnightMusic]

@MrMartianLove Word, I'm a New Yorker since birth and now, and I could definitely tell you even from my O.G.;z that game has definitely calmed down a little, but don't be fooled the grimey still lurks, but enough with dwelling on that Peace To You And Capture Your Dreams

[FrankKnightMusic]

@MrMartianLove It means, people are so grimey, that they'll pretend to be your friend and stab you right in the back but in this case he refers to being set up and killed by people you were not to long ago engaged in a friendly or neutral conversation with like If I'm saying "Yo Martian how's the family?" then five minutes later I come and kill you for greed jealousy or whatever my evil intentions were.

[vidaa82]

this is one of the most beautiful beats ive ever heard. premier is something else. just beautiful. nas lyrics over this is just pure poetry. i love this.

[bunkie90]

26 niggas must b from da south or sumthin cuz i got a ny state of mind n i love it 315 fuc wit us or eat a dick

[23viktor23]

@bunkie90 why you think 50 started dissin Nas? well can't call it dissin because no way a loser like that can diss this King but uhm yeah i think 50 punk ass cent is really a south bitch instead of a west sider

[kissurworm]

[The808Prophet]

[Streetrapper2008]

I like both Part 1 and 2. But Nas and Premier killed them both in my opinion. Matter of fact, They are my favorite songs of all time.

[artthathird2727]
