Illmatic f*cking Masterpiece, When hip hop was True..

[LJphenom]

Nuthin wrong with silver tupac. Nas has u beat. the best flow ever. when he dies hes taking hip hop with him and we will be left with his soulja boy. but i will play his tracks till im 6 feet deep

[smrtazz123]

This album is amazing. I have listenned to it front to back prabably close to 50 times and I still love it. A true classic. The beats are nice, and Nas's thoughts are always honest and deep.

[redneckking88]

g-rap, az, and jada/

[zachsta1017]

Obie Trice

[ThatFlyGuyBanks]

Jada is underated everywhere other than NY... Jada gets respect over here.

[deuce22192]

oh haha i no im from NY too..thats actually a line from AZ's song "Still Alive"...and to the other guy i agree obie is mad underrated

[ThatFlyGuyBanks]

lol o word... but jada gets respect especcialy in da bronx since he from Y.O

[Dennisfarshi]

cormega.

[tootz91]

How can you choose Cormega over Nas. i think there's something wrong with you.

Cormega Sucks.

[Dennisfarshi]

how did i say that? i replied to who i thought was the most underrated. nas isnt underrated. how can you think cormega sucks "i think there's something wrong with you." obviously you don't pick up on the symbolism and metaphors in his rhymes or else you wouldnt say that. And to clarify i dont think cormega is better then nas at all.

[DaKelseyKook]

are you dumb. you chose cormega over nas. hes not better than nas. what is wrong with you

[xmoorserx]

this the way hip hop should be

[trackstr400]

one of the best songs to sit back and roll a blunt to

[tigersleafspats]

[EazyRiz]

Nas committed the cardinal sin on this right here, AZ outshines Nas on this one. True track real mc's

[J2theMillz]

u got that from the other video description.

[MASSIVE100]

fam, I gotta disagree strongly, there's a song where I feel AZ definitely outshines NAS, that's a song called "How u living on ya block".. I thought Az killed it.

But nas , "static like wool fabric "

" I switched my motto, instead of sayin' fuck tomorrow, that buck that bought a bottle coulda struck the lotto"

[ApyroG]

AZ is ill on this track but nas be legendary

[JayRellOfficial]

A True Classic Right Here, Thanks For Uploading this here.

[tommymammamia]

DJ Genius91 or what ever your name is get your name off the name of this shit.

[greene825]

Dumbass, he made the video

[tommymammamia]

[nnsw08]

u fuckin hater if you dont like him do not comment this song is hot

[mw266]

their lyricism is unattainable. one has to be born with such great talent to manipulate and form rhymes such as these.

this is hip hop in its purest form.

a job well done.

[buttcheek1492]

shut up killarich07 u kno damn rite what his name is and u prolly jam to him and obviously "this is way better thr soulja boy" nas is a lyrical beast soulja boy is all commercial

[tommymammamia]

And a star is born (AZ that is)

[jkrolikowski]

haha. true.

[killarich07]

this song is hot im a kid and this is way better than soulda boy or wat ever his name is?!

[thefuture420]

AZ may have the dopest verse in hip-hop history right here. Definitely the best guest spot of all-time.

[J2theMillz]

idk, nas verse on verbal intercourse is just as nasty.

[Wun2ThaVisionary]

"lights, camera, action, glamour glitters and gold, I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe" That shit slides off the tounge real smooth...AZ and Nas on this track though, damn...just listen!

[oldiesinmyblood]

This beat is Chill!

I wouldnt mind Smokin a fat ass blunt to this one!

[deebombish]

i woke up early on my born day, im twenty the essence of adolescence leaves my body now im freshin

[jkrolikowski]

OneLineRhyme,com

[kristicarmen]

Legendary.

[djfakt]

Jesus christ, I love this fucking jam...I've lost ( or had it stolen)this CD at least five times. And each time I'd go out and fork over the bread for a new copy...In fact, I gotta go grab a new copy after I get off of work...

90s Hip hop was the best; no joke, man...I don't even listen to hip hop anymore...it just doesn't have the character is once had...

[wk33sa]

fucking classic, him and AZ, versatile mc's

[N3V3RM1ND25]

20/10 on this track, seriously!

This is hot as hell!

[rhinojjusa]

10 out of 10 on this track

[youngs1ncere]

Hip-Hop is the voice for the opressed. Any lil nigger on the street can rap. Someone rapping about rediculous amounts of money, million dollar cars, million dollar jewellery, crazy amounts of drugs dat half I aint even heard of - How is that Hip-Hop? Where is the Hip-Hop?

[wk33sa]

well said, son!

[youngs1ncere]

this is all that needs to be said..

Where is the MESSAGE in Wayne's tracks? besides doing a drugs and talking about

car's and banana's n shit. There is none. Therefore it isnt REAL Hip-Hop.

[Heeey333]

First of all all rap isn't all like Nas or Tupac. You dont have to have a "message" in your songs for it to be good music.(Although "Tie My Hands" has a good message in it and is by Lil' Wayne). Lil' Wayne's style is just different, its his flow/voice is what makes him.

[foxy1xx]

ITS HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!FUXXKN LILW. bein mentioned in the same breath as NAS(AZluv his flow)WTF guy's?!!!lol

[bigsweet2go]

Nas and AZ are lyrical as fuk if u dont kno AZ hes the nigga spittin the first verse

[Heeey333]

Lil Wayne is good, really creative, but nas is just classic... You just dont compare people to him.

[jose13137]

Na Lil Wayne isn't good, he just a bitch ass nigga!!!fuck him and his bullshit

[JIGGAWAHT]

after a hard days work just come home lie down and chill to this

[Throwbacc7]

word. My mom who thinks rap music is stupid completely made a 360 turn after I made her listen ti Illmatic. Dats real. Fuck lil WEEWEE

[GEasy5]

@Throwbacc7 haha i remember my teacher asked me what i was listenin to when i had my ipod in and she wasnt fond of hip hop either. i was listening to illmatic and i was afraid she would say somethin negative bout it but i let her listen anyways and she said the same thing i still say to this day...... "THIS IS GOOD MUSIC BUT Y DONT THEY EVER PLAY THIS ON THE RADIO"

[CrazyNorthBeeGee]

@Throwbacc7 how sad u r when you mom listen to nas

[Throwbacc7]

@CrazyNorthBeeGee

She doesn't listen to Nas. I simply said that Illmatic caused her to retract her previous negative opinion of hip-hop. I won't respond to the ignorant insult however.

[CrazyNorthBeeGee]

@Throwbacc7 haha it was a bit ignorant post of mine

[EMB229903]

saj actin like hes losin sleep over this, no need to act childish and call names, those who have a brain know Lil wayne doesnt touch Nas

[sajeeshd]

wow to all the fags out there who think that lil wayne is better than nas, you r the most retarted ppl i have ever seen in my life, nas is the one of the best if not the best and lil wayne is some wanna be

[geniusfrom91]

agreed, real hip hop for life, fuck commercial bullshit

[versatility357]

I know somebody didnt say lil wayne is better than nas! Thats like comparing apples and oranges. Wayne cant even flow like nas did. Not even close.

[pageturna79]

Can I get some Joelz Ortiz In this bitch. THats real hip-hop. I think he better than 75% of theses new York niggas. Maybe 85!!!!!!!!!!

[themelshow]

I'm from Brooklyn and i can tell you that I love the real NY Hip Hop!!! all you see now is a bunch of lil punks trying to act like they from the south or some shit! alot of wannabees in NY right now!!! for all you punks step your fucking game up like we did niggas! this "NY" new generation does not REPRESENT ME! or my real NYC hip hop heads!!! much love to mobb deep,Nas,JayZ,Rakim and all my Bboys and Bgirls. one.

[versatility357]

Yea thats happening because that wack south shit is sellin the most right now. FOR NOW! Honestly I stopped listening when I started hearing it on the radio. I cant stand it! NY is the cream of the crop when it comes to hip hop period.

[hennylo68]

nas, az , true poets..........like pun said I do it to live niggas politzas and prize winners.

[williamhawes]

***** the source!

[TheBranders]

AZ is fucking awesome. damn what a lyricist. i wish him and naz would release an album together. it'd b the best fucking rap album ever!!!

[rarenature]

Nas and AZ did do a collab album called "The Firm". Tt also had Foxy and Nature on there but personally the album was not that hot. "Doe or Die" by AZ had a few songs featuring Nas which were all bangers, so check that joint out - it probably has what you are looking for.

[TheBranders]

ohh yea thats right,i must have forgot. i heard that album before. what i meant to say, was that i wish they still did songs together, cuz i haven't heard a new song of them together in a while.

AZ:Yo what's the dilly? I just touched ground in Philly. :)

[MzeeDala]

REAL HIP HOP==NAS, TUPAC,MOS DEF, LUPE FIASCO, TALIB KWELI, AZ,IMORTAL TECH, DEAD PREZ, PHAROAH MONCH, COMMON AND K'NAAN who amazed me with his songs -Blues for the horn and what's hardcore...DEAD HIP HOP= SELF-PROCLAIMED GANGSTERS LIKE 50 cunt cent, LIL pussy wayne and all the spoiled rich kids who are unappreciative to life LIKE soulja kid... i am grateful that real HIP HOP would LIVE to see tomorrow even though we got so many whack wacked RAPPERS

[HunterSThompson420]

seriously man.

[buttassboobstits]

yeah u know what RAP is!

[thirst999]

Not sure why this is rated up when he does not have Early Eminem, Ghostface, Raekwon, Gza, Early Method man, Inspectha deck, BIG, Tupac, Big Pun, Big L and more out there that i cant recall at the moent

[MzeeDala]

Maybe you got some issues!... we praise songs and artists that are praiseworthy... if you combine all the artist you mentioned the message they convey does not come close to what NAS is talking about in just ONE SONG!... IF you are not blind i mentioned TUPAC...BY THE WAY ARE you white... because you mentioned EMINEM first HE is better than LIL WAyne BUT he doesn't come close to the likes of NAS!

[rickthebeast23]

yo i am young and i did not grow up in this era and ever since about 2 years ago i have been hooked on nas but i just herd about az because of his new album so can somebody reply and tell me the names of some of his albums and some other good rappers and i do not mean soulja boy HE IS THE WORST (if you can call him this) RAPPER OUT TODAY

[kingpil]

go wikipedia n type az ull see all albums

[ohemgee86]

yo rick u wanna listen to real hip hop, then bump AZ, Cormega, Benefit, Murs, Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, etc. This is tha kind of stuff I listen to, You wont be disappointed

[yourmumisadick]

az- doe or die

[nickone415]

Check out the Cyne / Nas "it aint hard to tell" mash up... It's pretty dope.

[getoharmony]

yo rick u wanna listen to real hip hop, then bump AZ, Cormega, Benefit, Murs, Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, etc. This is tha kind of stuff I listen to, You wont be disappointed

[izuru67]

yo life's still my bitch till I die....thank god for weed family love and nas

[dejaun1022]

reel shit 4rm reel niggs

[kingpil]

AZ's doe or die is nearly as good as illmatic. Seriously he is one of the most underrated rappers evr

[FReeStyLeMaSTeR]

[hovsec]

AZs verse was deeper but both did great

[zaxan]

"life is a bitch and then you die"

[oldkuul]

Rick Ross hot nothing on these hip hop super dons

[robotsandtrash]

i bet ur mama looks like rick ross. that shit is garbage.. put down ur PSP and listen to ILLMATIC.. youll see whats up....stupid ass..

[ball4life850]

rick ross is garabage that new hiphop gimick stuff is wack. You most have just started listen to hiphop or somthing cuz most people that understand that nas is an excellent artisir. This is one of the best albums ever made. Listen to some older stuff: gang starr mass appeal, gang starr moment of truth, Biggie I love the dough, Biggie notorious thugs. Peace!!!!

[beneng43]

ur a stupid fuck

[deli53]

holy shit r u fukin serious??? Rick Ross took dat name from a gangster named Ricky Ross. U sir dont noe shit about hip hop and probably will only listen 2 dem whack songs comin out rite now

[stevesteve55]

[2pc123]

[604Bee]

REAL HIPHOP

[5af1]

wow pure artistry.

[clicchick]

wow az was sick on this track! he did even better than nas, and nas is my man!

[acthestar]

yh AZ was sick on this track, i have a remix of this song called so far to go

[Steelafan763]

AZ outshines Nas....and that aint easy

what a collabo of both verses

[deniro828]

Az killed the song he doesnt get alot of respect as an mc either his lyrical flow is sick espically on this song if you like az Look the The Format by AZ Song is fire

[PNobleDaTruth]

AZ murked it

[cobenobo]

CLASSIC!

[doencarza]

fuck 50 cent

[Jamescrackcocaine]

This is ill, dope Illmatic is the greatest rap/hip hop album ever, I love eminem's songs, but when i listen to nas, which is frequently, i realise Nas, is way up there with Big L and Tupac.

[terrail60]

i feel this much love

[jumknuckles3]

I think...Luther Vandross sings the song this was sampled from? I don't remember but I know I've heard it before. Someone enlighten me
