dope song all around, but dare i say nas almost got killed on his own track? az's verse is so tight and concise i dont think you can touch it. shit's like a puzzle, if you change one word it'd fuck up the whole thing.
This here one of my favorite songs out the illmatic album.
Mayne hold up I can't get enough of this illmatic Trill ass fuck, that's real talk. One of my favorite Nas Albums of all time, and dis song here AZ went in and murcked it as well as Nas. Real Hip Hop, damn I miss it, Hip Hop on life support now day's if not dead!!
@paulj8c88 type correct english...damn...I had to read that shit you typed atleast 3 times....what the fuck is wrong with you? You are too old for the dumb shit. I C Y dum mufukaz is stil dum....lol elevate , kid.
llmatic is the only hip-hop ablum ive listen 2 that i can say is perfect everysong is a classic that could be someboby esle hit song for there whole caree but, he had ten classic hits. it took nas 1 full year to make this ablum and it shows that he put his hart into it.
@MrJamathanlyle what is an "ABLUM?" I know what an A-L-B-U-M is....but ablum? is that like a plum? LOL just fuckin' witcha.....but....tighten up your shit folks, people are watching.
igot a question thats alot of dumb ass niggaz be aguring about
nas or lil wayne be honest im with nas all the way lil wayne gewd but i believe nas would kill lil wayne but ppl in my hood are all over lilwaynes dikk so let the world knoe whats up
@hazykIDz310 I swear...if you had to ask that question...you need to NEVER in life click on a Nas vid. I'm saying, if that was a question or debate you heard or were a part of.Just drink a cold cup of bleach....with a glass straw with drano ice cubes in it!A real nigga wouldn't even entertain that debate..real niggaz would str8 laugh at the niggaz who got Wayne. I know it's 1 year old...but stupidity is timeless. FUCK WAYNE and quit bringing his name up in real rap vids. Suck a used condom.
az has to be the greatest under estimated rapper of alllllll time. these bitches rapping now cannot! i repeat cannot! fuck with az.listen to his albums. listen to all queensbridge rappers.even mc shan they are all fire! new york represent all day every day.
I luv how they use old skool samples & rip them....this sample is from The Gap Band -Yearning For Your Love & then there's AZ'z classic Sugarhill sampled from Mtume - Sugarfree
no its not the best hip hop album ever written.. its what fan boys like you believe.. theres a ton of rappers better then nas and a million better albums.. eminems albums shit all over this so do 2pacs.
@324fender Eminem was influenced by Nas dipshit. He would say so himself. Listen to 'infinite,' Em's attempt at Nas style. 2pac has a claim to COMPETE with Nas but nothing he did "shit" on Illmatic. FUCK OFF.
eminem shits all over nas are youkidding? and 2pac fucking drops nuclear bombs of shit on both them fools.. you just cant face the fact that ans aint the best rapper.. its ur ridiculous taste in rap that makes you believe hes the best.
yes guy.. i win.. what ever the fuck that means.. when nas dies its gona be like a nobody died.. because he aint that popular.. fuck illmatic.. when tupac died they built memorials and statues all over the world.. in tribute of the best rapper to ever live and a modern day prophet. nas dont matter buddy he just dont.
@324fender no rapper can be the best homie everyone is an individual and skilled very differently, u can be better than your opponent none day, and be worse the next.
thats true.. but i aint just another fanboy i listened to 100 pacs songs and 100 nas songs.. and tupacs song tend to be more catchy.. his voice his lyrics.. speaking from his past experiences, even eminem the greatest rapper alive today.. admitted.. tupac is the greatest hip hop song writer to ever live. because his songs were poetry, they touch you inside and out, and change how you think.. about life.. about your mama.. nas is the same but he cant touch you the same way. he just cant.
@324fender It's all about personal preference. That's why there is no best. In my eyes, Nas is the greatest emcee of all time. You feel its Pac and there's nothing wrong with that.
@324fender Oh God...did you really have to say that? I'll be so glad when this whole illuminati fad on the internet dies out. Gettings rediculous at this point.
oh yeah.. no mater what, it always comes down to the illuminati, no matter how good u are if u worship the devil ur an enemy to humantiy not just another rapper. thats why i like 2pac.. seperates him from these "devil niggaz" hes attitude in rap is much more dangerous because he doesnt care, and hes more creative, screamin' fuck the world..
@324fender Ok explain to me how you even know such a thing even exists? And if it does exist, how is it affecting you? It's like believing in fairy tales or the Easter Bunny or some shit. Just rediculous. And how you know Nas or Jay-Z or anyone else is involved with this shit? If anything, why would some illumunati allow black rappers in? Don't make any sense. Y'all been watchin too much DaVinci Code LOL
your so pathetic , and idiotic.. illuminati isnt a white organization, its not the KKK, anybody with money, can be in it.. and JAY-Z is the biggest devil worshipper.. he sends subliminal messages through songs.. about the devil.. EAST coast rappers are all known to be apart of the illuminati, thats why there was the east coast/ west coast rivalry during 2pacs era. and yes anyone who worships the devil impacts on me, and most of the world. because your the scum of the earth.
@324fender Right I see, I'm the idiot. And I'm assuming you have proof of everything you're talking about right? More than just a few internet videos right? You conspiracy theorists trip me out. Explain to me how this so called "illumunati" is effecting your life. I guess they secretly come into your house and place a micro chip in your brain or something. Fuck outta here.
you speak of illuminati like you just heard of it yesterday... if your living in america.. and not knowing what that is, then media has already fucked you in the ass.. you just dont know it. and i got proof type " nas , illuminati" on google.. his holding up luciferian symbolism. and all the rpoof i need is 2pac..like i said the west coast/east coast rivalry was basically the west coast goin against the "devil niggaz" illuminati bitches, listen to more of his songs and you will understand,idiot.
@324fender See you fucked up already. The east/west thing was manfactured by the media. Tupac himself said that beef wasn't about east and west. In fact, he was friends with many east coast rappers during that time, including Wu Tang and Def Squad. His own crew the Outlawz were from New Jersey. It was a beef between him and Big, that grew to include a few other rappers like Nas and Mobb Deep. But once the media gotta hold of it they turned it into this bullshit coastal beef.
nope.. i know my shit.. listen to his fuckin music.. stop reading off wikipedia.. i aint gona argue with you about this.. 90% of fucking east coast rappers were illuminati.. do some fucking research..
@MrEsceletobambero Whatever dude. When one of you superstitious fucks comes up with some hard evidence about boogey men, ghosts, and goblins and what not, then i'll listen. Until then, leave that stupid shit out of a hip hop video.
yep yep nas and az the best duo always p1989 said it best rip the track to pieces
