[lamaffia]

the beat and the chorus is really dope!! but to be real without hating i dont think that nas really came hard with it the lyrics wasnt that powerful ! he didnt do this beat justice ! but he thats just me speaking and just being real! give this to joell ortiz and its a don deal! and yes am black !! but its not about rase here but about the music!! so if you dont got something better to say or positive ,just keep it for your self cause we dont need your reaction we are talking music here thank u.

[Antrizzle2009]

@lamaffia You're certainly entitled to your opinion and I love Joel Ortiz. But this shit is dope at the same time. And Anthony Hamilton absolutely blesses this chorus.

[Antrizzle2009]

@lamaffia I'm sorry I meant Tre Wiliams.

[Weezer1450]

[yabadabadog]

"only then i'll let you pick my brain niggas" attacking young jeezy for talking as if nas can't say his mind when he said hip hop his dead....."4 years in the game we can have a conversation" young jeezy came out recently lol

[ti3walker]

[TheP0e]

@vote001 Tre Williams

[Izeluvtacos]

[A2P89]

[ibescity]

as i walk through the valley shadow of death

[lcascio313g]

[mytu8e]

nice kanye beat

[KingEaZyone]

nono illmatic was the best album ever

[MCMarikKun]

Illmatic and Stillmatic were Nas' Greatest Albums.

[stopwhining1]

and It Was Written.

[poorkiwi]

Dont forget the Lost Tapes, that was some lyrical work there

[abcdefgbpzz]

Lost Tapes was killin. Any fan out there of nas should have this collection.

[mnasty1979]

The Lost Tapes are THE TRUTH!!!!

[RashidSupremeA7]

@MCMarikKun It was Written 

[BabySpit]

love this song

[highlistining]

someone really needs to screw up this song

[Prodigy51992]

"New York, set trippin and flaggin

Got the West Coast laughing, now Esco's asking

What happened? My homegirl from upper Manhattan

She remembers the quarters that's Latin, alotta rat-a-tat-tatting"

By The Way, Illmatic is the best nas Album

[arvidberg]

cant get better than this!!!

NAS greatest mc!!!!

[Dragonsfantcam]

@arvidberg not quite the greatest but certainly not far off

[rrmmt23]

@arvidberg nah more like one of the biggest douche bags in the rap game.

[5awhitt]

"so i can drive sumtin red...sumtin with that horse standin on its back legs"

1. pac 2. nas 3.....dont really matter

[5awhitt]

best one is it was written

[pungusattah]

it was written is good, but mines used to be god son for a long time, but illmatic is so raw, its pure hip hop no covering anything.

[pungusattah]

beats in this sound are just amazing.who can even come close?nas is the ghetto american idol nomatter what anyone does..aint no 1 taking his title!!

[piru4rep]

straight the fuck up

[pungusattah]

illmatic greatest hip hop album made?what do you think whats nas best album?

[TupacAndMeatLoaf]

I would have to say Illmatic, it was just so raw. But I aint heard his new album yet.

[piru4rep]

hahah

nicko your dumb dont come out here and claim he's steelin shit NAS IS A LEGEND the best Jayz can't touch him , Biggie and Pac we're the only ones even close to Nas's level in my opinion the greatest ever look at him amazing your a joke for sayin he's jackin beats cause we both know nobody knew the fuck about steve miller fuck steve miller man Its all about rebuilding hip hop from the start where lyrics and what the cultures about Live it breath it and fuckin Own it! HIP HOP WILL SURVIVE

[thehoodspecialist]

When you're 4 years in the game, we can have a conversation. 8 years in the game, I'll invite you on vacation. 10 years in the game, after I've enjoyed my fame. Only then I'll let you pick my brain. Niggas

[StylezPaniro]

[nickobro]

[DatKidJonny]

[ezekwu]

[EJ791]

this is all overseen by man will

[nasgamedone]

yo niggaz now wat u guys are sayin those fucking south fuckers are killing rap

[thelucadenims]

Nas is one of the greatest rappers of all time, up there with Rakim, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., KRS-One and the rest of the legends in rap. this is a TUNE. lyrically amazing.

[inevitablekiller]

smilin in my face glad to break bread wiht the god. jay-z picked up his swagger. least he accepts that.

nas is the illest

[nasgamedone]

nas to sick

[hwolf32]

esco the dun dadder!!! knowledge is power

[mvs1234567]

tre williams

[BabyJuelz13]

Jay-z switched his flow man... To Nas's

Nas- All I did was give you a style for you to run with (Ether)..

And Jay-z admited it on one of his diss tracks towards nas.

ANWAYZZZZ

Nas great rapper LEGEND BOOOP!

That song is BEAUTIFUL.. INSPIRATIONAL..

BIGGGG TUNE

[SeanSwedenRepresent]

man this song is incredible real Hip Hop

Nas is the man one o the gratest

[77ro]

ok,thank you

[Chopper19]

its not xavier its tre williams

[boricua2323]

no its not its anthony hamilton

[77ro]

do you guys know if the guy who sings wth him is xavier naidoo?pls

[boricua2323]

anthony hamilton

[dollardollarbill1]

yea unfortunately the rappers who take the most influence from pac are clowns, they talk as hard as they can and then try to throw in some socially conscious shit and its all made up shit not from the heart at all

[tjfab]

Nas is a legend...I jst hope ppl give him a little more respect..but as we all no "HIP-HOP IS DEAD"!!

[sgtchocolate1]

Nas = best rapper alive

[tghetto5]

you spelled jay z wrong.

[sgtchocolate1]

o yea srry its spelled GAY-Z

[tghetto5]

nas has no flow......i use his raps to put my nephew to bed

[jaydogg7253]

thats bullshit and you know it

you're just trying to start shit

[tghetto5]

no my nephew really enjoys listening to NY state of mind as he sleeps.........but if i turn on some reasonable doubt that lil nigga wakes up and starts yelling .....jay-z and biggie smalls nigga shit yo drawes!

[J2theMillz]

lol... jay-z switched his flow up to be closer to nas' back in the day

[Impresssia]

Great song

[jasonx1106]

some ppl dont give nas the credit he deserves, hes one of the best ever and deserves more respect

[JKIDD17]

this is my shit right here

[dretheman123]

Im sorry 2 say but 2 me nas beats 2pac and biggie. I dunno y theirs so much hype about 2pac and biggie in the hip-hop industry. Ppl need 2 get over them. Nas is the present of hip-hop and the future.

[periechontology]

i agree with you as far as 2pac is concerned, i will never understand all the hype over him. Biggie was a great though but i rate nas over him. nas has real meaning and not just skill like Biggie.

[jaydogg7253]

i liked some of biggies stuff but i think tupac was a lot better

[NYFinest9]

pac is da most influential ARTIST in hip hop

but nas is da best right now

[mhavas703]

well i dunno about that, but i do believe he is the best alive and being real with everybody.

after dropping illmatic, murdering jay-z, stopping everyone with hip hop is dead, and shaking up the media like hip hop did back in the 90s, Nas could come either very close to 2Pac or at the same level as far as impact on hip hop.

ppl like rakim and krs-one you gotta give credit for being the fathers of rap, but nas is the guy who makes it very active instead of being in the background

[NYFinest9]

very true i agree hes already cause another amount of controversy with his new album title "Nigga"

[Transkar]

Actually, its "Nigger"

[NYFinest9]

yea i know he updated it like yesterday

[anastamotic]

most influential? well there are people you could place over him in that department like Run D.M.C. and L.L. Cool j (even though he flipped and became whack 2 years after he came out) But 2pac is up there as far as influecne is concerned.

[magicman312]

nas is dooope. let there be hiphop...

[Transkar]

Such an underrated song.

[bigboi2002uk]

nas my top lyricist WITHOUT a doubt...AZ close but nas smarter imo. could be listenin to this album in 4 years and findin new hidden meanings!this songs my fav 2, fuckin outstandin.album is one of hiphops best. i aint too proud to ask someone what is meant by "demand I get mine till I'm dead so I can drop something red/Like that horse standing on its hind legs". know these lyrics off by heart but don't get this one thing!seein him live in like 4 days!FUCK YEA!!

[rooem]

when he said dat he waz stepin bout his mind az a hustler.Now what he meant when he say hell even deal wit dat shit we gettin real and doez dat hav sum connection 2 wen he said cant sound smart cuz yall a run away and wen he said only den ill let u pic my brain niggaz

[Zar176]

* bigboi2002uk*

In response to your question...

"i aint too proud to ask someone what is meant by" -

"demand I get mine till I'm dead so I can drop something red/Like that horse standing on its hind legs"

I think he is referring dropping a red Ferrari. Hope you enjoyed the show :)

[bigboi2002uk]

yeea ferrari! thanks alot man :D and yea show was ridiculous - "lifes a bitch" was absoltely incredible,if only AZ was there....

[Willrich202000]

my fav song too!

[rocason]

lol....this song is cool but I really love the track called "carry on tradition"wat d fuck is wrong with this dude called 50....I bet d nxt person he's gonna diss is his own son

[rooem]

yo dtaz sum funny shit i dont like dat nigga neither

[rooem]

Yo Nas is REAL,NAS IS GONE BE REMEMBER FOR THE RAPPER THAT SAVED HIP HOP! MAN DIEHARD JAYZ FAN BUT MAN NAS IS MAKING SOMETHIN IMMORTAL AND HE'S BECOMING TO ME AS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE WITH THIS STEP.COME ON PEOPLE SUPPORT,FAR AS THIS PART OF THE YOUTH SHIIIITT I AM,GO ON HOMIE!

[akademikz619]

this is my 2nd favorite track on hip hop is dead behind can't forget about us or w.e it's called =]

[benjaminthemc87]

Now every rapper wanna claim he hang with Kenneth "Supreme" Griffin

It's like the same difference except when nigga's get arranged

They don't want the same sentence, nigga's get to snitching

HE'S DISSING 50 CENT!

[Hgt5yuh]

Love the song but damn cant you hook the sound up better?

[nanablike]

I have to say Dis' Song Is Very Inspiring

Nas and Tre Good Calabo' Much Luv

Nas Did it Again

[Shadow155]

Yeah this is one of my favorites. I love it!

[bmambrunomoreno]

yes Tre Williams sounds like Anthony Hamilton. great voice great song!! one of my favourites. Black Republicans and Hustlers are 5stars. great beats

[orlando336]

TRE WILLIAMS, REMEMBER THA NAME!!!

[motoman0000]

he just dissed 50

[RockStarra]

i love this song!!

[motoman0000]

hotest ass song on the track

[Makinchange]

Since I first heard this song, I was in love with it

We got the old Nas Back

[racepete]

one of my fav tracks on the LP

[mrmiyagi101]

the beat is fresh is great and the lyrics are great. i agree tre williams has a similar soud to anthony hamilton. its an all around great song.

[LuckyMark2006]

I love this song, just beautiful, my fav on the album too!

[grahamdunne]

Tre Williams and Nas killlllllllllllll it

[hertz004]

Good man. This is without a doubt the best song on his album.

[diddisdiddat]

Personally I think Hip Hop Is Dead is one of his best albums. His 3rd Best Album behind The Lost Tapes and Illmatic.

[racepete]

lost tapes is not an album its a mixtape. It was not comerically distrubuted

[chiwst]

I agree,Hip Hop is dead is one of those albums that's ahead of it's time,most young people aint going to get it cause it's over there head,came out at the right time and title of album was on point...one of the greateset lyricist ever,if not #1

[timj012]

yeah its my favorite on that cd. the album wasnt his best so its not his best song, but i still like it

[diddisdiddat]

My favorite song on Hip Hop Is Dead. It's an very inspirational track. Nas killed it. Kanye West really did a great job with production. Tre Williams who sounds a lot like Anthony Hamilton killed it on the hook.

[julezortiz]

this one is my favorite toooooo

[mjbball23]

One of the best songs on hiphop is dead

[jamala1823]

also my favourite followed by track 3 and 13

[jgutter187]

this my favorite jawn 2 on the cd..
