thank you for having a vevo alternative



[ball3r628]

honestly, ive listened to tons of music, from the beatles to marvin gaye to bob marley to the hip-hop of the likes of rakim and krs one and i can conclude that this song is one of the greatest ever to be devised by man. It is so inspirational, its message can go to anyone, regardless of background, that you can do whatever you set your mind to. The production and lyrics are undeniably perfect, this is timeless music. Thank you Nas and Pete Rock, for this masterpiece.

[snoopdog44144]

[Ringolero]

No:1 don't forget Peter Rock for making the beat tho. It wouldn't be what it is without the beat too

[TheNottyDred]

My favorite MC, My favorite Producer (sorry Primo) and one of my favorite songs of all-time.

Nas just f'ing rips this track....Outrageous

[Kurotensity]

@TheNottyDred Don't forget RZA, Pete Rock, and Large Professor.

Still, Nasty Nas for life!

[Kurotensity]

@TheNottyDred woops I accidentally mentioned pete rock too haha.. my bad man.

[caho99]

That's The soundtrack of my life....and that's real. I bought Illmatic album when i was like 12... and it's still one of my favorites. jus timeless

[nikolka2005]

[dru010784]

One of my Favorite songs EVER !!!!!!!!

[misterlestrade]

And these dickheads have the goddamn nerve to equate the bullshit today to what real "HIP HOP" is. They say "fuck that 90s shit." I say "no, fuck YOU, nigga."

[misterlestrade]

LMFAO Pete Rock is not playing piano. This samples the song "I Love Music" by Ahmad Jamal.  Search that song on youtube, and fast forward to about 4:55 in.

[gologabob]

Can Pete Rock actually play piano? Or was this just for the video and had no truth behind it?

[SonnyRed420]

The world is yours, the world is mine

[CTchick203]

This Song Reminds Me Of Tony Hawk Underground lOl. But i Awlays Been a Fan Of Nas ! He Is One Of The Best !

[de0ndre]

ever time hear this joint never matter where I'm at or where it's playing from I just gotta stop and vibe while reciting every lyric! man this joint will NEVER get old. CLASSIC!

[imtheFreshest]

Dis song helped me outta a veeery deep low today.

Thx Nasty NaS

Whos World Is This? Its Mine!!!

[crazyjoe9737]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS IN HIP HOP.........

[TheDeLaKore]

i bet 100 dollars nobody here can rap the ENTIRE song to perfection without slipping, mixing up a word or losing his breath lol

[misterlestrade]

@TheDeLaKore considering I grew up on this, I'll take that bet.

[TheDeLaKore]

@misterlestrade lol

[TheHiddenAnswer]

pete rock on da production, nasty nas on the flow = instant klassic

[bc411]

[dshadow97]

He went so bloood

[BLACCEASA]

HipHop classic. Believe dat.

[csabinho100]

Nas's right. The world should be yourz, if you want it.

[imWILLYsun]

Jay electronica went hard on this too man dont sleep on Jay

[theAviel22]

lyrically, this is one of the best performances of rap history. nas has such an incredible flow and his rhyming ability is one of the best hip hop has ever seen. his lyrical talent is up there with big pun, rakim, and notorious big. i wish that there were rappers today who's main focus of a song was the lyrics.

[HateOnMePlease23]

great song, but does any1 know what the guy in the chorus is saying? is he saying "its mine, its mine, its mine, whos world is this?" (cause some1 told me thats what hes saying, OR is it what i think.. "it once was mine whos world is this?"

[WyattFromThe314]

@HateOnMePlease23 that someone is right.

[HateOnMePlease23]

@WyattFromThe314 hahaha okay thanks bro, just wanted to make sure

[KojoNunez]

I swear his voice on this record has to be one of the most sampled... lol

[BHunterMusic1]

Classic shit rite here

[wbooker10]

god sent -the god son who can do it like him wow just listen to him just make me like wow

[SugarValentine9]

this song is so complete, thoughtful lyrics with loads of urban imagery, smooth chorus and a jazzy track with the piano going crazy, there's so many things that I love about this song man....

[MrXzibit1995]

Best emcees: nas,tupac,andre 3000,big l,biggie,jay z,jadakiss,kurupt,eminem and ghostface killah

[WyattFromThe314]

@MrXzibit1995 Word. Don't forget Common.

[theMidNiteXpress]

hands down

[taftupac]

I'm at work but damn I wanna screaaaammmm!!!

[MIZARC215]

Best rapper ever, period, hands down

[vidaa11]

pianos sound SO BEAUTIFUL in rap songs.

[Xblackhawk32Xz]

Im not black, im no rapper, no thug, just a little white boy. But Nas is more than a rapper, hes an artist. Illmatic is one of the greatest albums ever.

[ugotmossed510]

Real Shit

[icantgetenuogh]

MY FAVORITE ARTIST. HE HAD NIGGAS ON THERE SHIT. I WISH HIM AND AZ GET BACK TOGETHER AND SMASH NIGGAS.

[ravingrabidpugTICTAC]

94 was the best year ever for hip hop

[TheRenegadeAssassin]

Waka Flaka would burn Nas lyrically......HAHAHAHA....I'm just fuckin' wit you...HIP HOP TODAY IS GARBAGE!!!! Big ups to the 80's and 90's hip hop renaissance.

[coreyologist]

this song is classic, i remember always watching this on rap city and BET top 20 video countdown, when music television made sense, I dont even watch BET or MTV at all

[darylballard]

Born alone, die alone...

[GTD9002]

And Who Can Forget The Classical Line - I'm Out For Dead Presidents to Represent me.

[Uvealwebstar11]

Somehow when I hear this song I get memories of my cousin In my head and I just get sad

[ProfeaXchnl]

i feel like a fuckin' punisher when i crank dis real shit! Thumbs up if u think that nas is best eastcoast street poet EVAH!

[WakaFlockaFlame251]

I remember the fiirst time hering this song I was finnaly hearing the truth

[RebdOOmer88]

The lyrics, the beats, the whole producttion. On Illmatic everything fits with everything. An Nas with only 18 years old comin' with such a high lyrical knowledge. For sure one of the five best HipHop/Rap Albums of all time.

[cariocabassa]

@RebdOOmer88 hell fuckin yeah definitely

[TheRenegadeAssassin]

@RebdOOmer88 Very well put.

[Imaaze2]

Nasty Nas

[baldo0008]

this song is too ill ,to wayyy ahead,another level,makes me think about this dayz ''last dayz..when i heard this song thats when i started thinking about life n the world the we are living.Illmatic the best album ever ,the whole thing is like perfect but definely this song is one of his best song ever.Cause of this album niggaz knew they have to step their lirical game up 4 real.

[Spikey145]

how world is this?

the world is yours...

[KOTP10142]

nas gets highest respects

[jIlxg]

this one nas (illmatic) album murdered all of jayz's albums.

[NasEscobar1]

that third verse just takes it to a whole.  nutha. level.

[blackcapone187]

man,I can outrap Nas...only in my fantasies lmao I remember my first time listening to illmatic...dude was so lyrical,I didnt understand shit he was saing...it took me a long while to come along

[nem700]

@blackcapone187

you musta been retarded as a kid.

[ethiotoronto]

@blackcapone187 Me too. Same with Eminem, only reason i liked em was cause of the funny stuff he said.

[misterlestrade]

@blackcapone187 Nas was always easy for me to understand, his words and lines can be taken at face value, unlike Jay-Z....who raps under layers of entendres. People think he's saying some simple shit when really he's talking in code, and makes it rhyme crazy. Top 2 ever imo

[misterlestrade]

[Lovetheskorpionshow]

this shit a classic, not even young Jay can touch Nas

[NasEscobar1]

all young jay could do was bite his shit

[Lovetheskorpionshow]

yeah, but young Jay is better than Pussyass Mr. Knowles!! Jay's first 3 albums were classic

[bigbaltimore08]

Man no one can touch Nas much less Hova. He already proved that. Nas=best rapper alive!

[Lovetheskorpionshow]

No Doubt, Nas half man half amazing

[MrVlatcemakaveli]

respect nigga

[nauris706]

I sip the Dom P, watchin Gandhi til I'm charged

Then writin in my book of rhymes, all the words pass the margin

To hold the mic I'm throbbin, mechanical movement

Understandable smooth shit that murderers move wit

The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right

The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe

The mind activation, react like I'm facin time like

'Pappy' Mason with pens I'm embracin

[johngarva]

@nauris706

that verse is so nasty.

[truekingdomhearts]

@nauris706 wipe the sweat of my dome spit the phlem on the streets

[nauris706]

Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets

Suede Timb's on my feets, makes my cypher, complete

Whether crusin in a six-cab, or Montero Jeep

I can't call it, the beats make me fallin asleep

I keep fallin, but never fallin six feet deep

I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)

I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)

I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
