yo this is def better than the og. the video was stupid tho it was just a rip off of thet original video that was a straight up rip off of the film casino...not hating at all..its ill no doubt. peace and respect.
@ 2:17 nas' boy was FEELIN this dude kelly, he was like, i gotta leave this thug shit alone man, you can tell, that was before niggas was dying to keep it real, back when it really was real, those days are gone. i remember them tho
Verse 3 is tough but the picture he paints in the first verse is so vivid and beautifully put together, he's bringing you into his world effortlessly!! This was Nas in his prime for real!!!!
Naw man Illmatic was his best but it was written was his deepest with songs like affirmative action, I gave yu power, the message, and etc. and it led to The Firm
yo, u def. rite. . . yo . . . i feel u on the tear in the eyes thing. I've bumped this song plenty of times when life was at the bottom. U speakin' wisdom, G.
better than the original..Nas is the greatest of all time...I just wish people would realize that man. No one can ever reach his lyrical abilities, fuck the fake shit!
word. the thing is everyone knows nas is the best, alot of people just want to give it to someone else for what ever reason. nas is all that an MC was meant to be.

This one of the illest remixes I ever heard, better than the original in my opinion. If y'all like underground hip hop, click my page. I got my whole mixtape plus new tracks posted. New mixtape Nov 08, free download. 1
nas is the true poet of all hip hop. nas really was the evolution out of the golden age, and it's pretty amazing that he is still untouchable by nearly all in this generation of mc's
This is one of the most underrated hip-hop songs ever. This song is hot hot hot!!! Nas is a true MC. For you wanna be rappers out listen to how Nas's delivery at the start of the verse. That is how you rap. "Low profile rap style slick as new now, give the crew pound everytime we cover new ground...." Outstanding!!!!
wen i heard dis song i had to lok up da lyrics and wen i did i was amazed dat dese lyrics cud come out of someones mind and dat is y i believe nas is da GOAT
i use to listen to this all the time riding around, my cuzzins were like wtf that ol shit, but somethings never get old no matter what, it doesnt chnge the quality of the music
I LOVE THIS!
