JAY-Z AND NAS REUNITED:LIVE

[mctroll89]

nas knows jay's lyrics, and jay knows nas's

duh you dumb fucks, with all the beef they did have mutual respect for one another. 2 of the all time greats.

with that said, i felt nas won that beef. he just has jay's number lol

[godofthisshit]

@mctroll89

Jay knows Nas lyrics more. Nas even forget his own lyrics.

[goodguyj]

@godofthisshit dont forget that nas smokes spliffs

[ahmedgunner15]

@mctroll89 and he went to Nas' 38th birthday party he looked 20:)

[eaglebjt]

so you know what i did for yall....so you know what i did for hip hop so fuck that shit "Lets go Esco"

[MrChameleon101]

THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEN FOR HIP HOP. GOOSE BUMPS EVERYWHERE!! YOU GARBAGE ASS RAPPERS (LIL BOOSIE, SOULJA HO, OJ THE BITCH MAN AND THE WORST GUCCI BITCH) CAN LEARN SOMETHING

[hayzuz3]

i wish nas had a verse on dead presidents....P.S. notice they never shook hands.

[Christian900]

they did, at the end of the video man @hayzuz3

[1LonnieR29]

dam it did give me gooses bumps lol!

[PantieInvader]

Every hair on my body stood up when he said, "Let's go Esco."

[whatthehellvideos]

nas knows jays lyrics too you fuckin nas stans

[gone42]

Wish Jay would have made an album with Nas instead of gay Kanye. Jay-Z + Nas with Premo and Pete Rock production.

[briii96]

chillls, moment in history.

[armoaxper013]

Historic hip-hop moment #1

[nonsterlovin]

Jay Z knows Nas lyrics. Nas is Jay Z favorite rapper. Nas the illest

[Viewer305212]

In all honesty, I didn't like this moment, at the time in 06' i did, but looking back now.....It made NaS put himself on Jay's level. NaS isn't a Jay-Z like emcee, Jay is a corporate ass nigga, NaS is a poet like/realist artist. After this, NaS signed under Jay with Def Jam, and they put out that trash ass album "Hip Hop is Dead" (yeah i called it trash, nowhere near Nas' albums on Columbia) lol So basically, NaS ended up working for the dude he destroyed in 2001.

[sohail410]

@Viewer305212 i agree completely even though i love Nas more, the dude did it for overall financial reasons

[crisoner]

Only if Pac and Biggy had the chance to do this.....

[Christian900]

They did. Some sort. They did a freestyle together on stage and on rap video. It here on youtube. Look it up. @crisoner

[Nicolubello]

You don't know what is called a "magic moment"??? Watch @ 4:04 : soon you'll understand...

[MsTruthBringer]

what is esco?

[9thDilla]

@MsTruthBringer Nas nickname also God's Son

[getemnate11]

check out bobby raps on youtube search riff raff!!!

[MrChameleon101]

THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES NOBULLSHIT I NEVER SAW THIS COMING WHEN IT HAPPENED.THIS IS HIP HOP. TO ALL BUBBLE GUMS RAPPERS, LEARN FROM THE TWO KINGS!!!!!!

[TheRawShit]

it would be funny if Jay broke out with the takeover instead

[mctroll89]

@TheRawShit it'd be even funnier if nas crashed the stage afterward and broke out with ETHER XP

[natecanflyable]

@mctroll89 LOL!



[ahmedgunner15]

@mctroll89 that would be crazy, the whole world would be talking :D

[TheTimhoward]

Nas bowing to the King of NY .. nas lost the war lol. It was a historic event in hip-hop nevertheless ..

[Trollpatrol87]

@TheTimhoward

Yet, it was Jay-Z who made the call to Nas to squash it.... "bowing", yea.... whatever you say.

[jaskey37]

Yo, I feel you about the goose bumps but yo....this shit brought tears to my eyes....true hip hop sun.......like Obama becoming president.....man fuck yall.

[trudon]

@jaskey37 loool

[frassut]

i got goose bumps wen he called out Nas i aint gonna lie

[AudiQ7V8]

Ahh yes, the meeting of the freemason brothas...

[MrChameleon101]

@AudiQ7V8 THESE MEN ARE NOT FREEMASONS

[sohail410]

@MrChameleon101 i never really bought into the jay z freemasonry 'link' but someone that true to streets wouldn't be a mason, its simply a business thing where he is now rich and distances himself from trouble. makes sense, we would too if we could afford it.

so anytime someone makes some real money people shout out freemason

[MrChameleon101]

@sohail410 OH OK

[ken2388]

it's funny how Nas don't know Jigga's lyrics and Hov is recitin Nas's whole shit lol

[MrCommenterguy]

Some bitch is screaming like she's being raped in the throat with a knife

[MrCommenterguy]

'let's go esco' legend.

[TomatoBasil23]

this is possibly the greatest hiphop moment of the 00's and it's only got about 100,000 views?

[CRONECR]

u know ur a hiphop fan if you got goose bumps at 0:52..

[csjl94]

@CRONECR my head itched!! i had goose bumps from arms to toe

[urbanadvocateuk]

fuck that shit, lets go esco.

[jrela2000]

@WadadliSamurai211 I'm curious as to why you would think that Eminem wouldn't know nothing about this before BIG? There was a lot going on before BIG. When Em won his first Grammy, did you peep all those people he thanked? I'm just curious as to why you feel that way.....just because you may not have been aware of what was happening in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. YOu thinking too mainstream, son.

[Mic2519]

- These 2 are 2 of the best in hip-hop period!!! But neither 1 is the absolute best. Heads need to understand, respect that & keep it moving.

[cibida1]

I always felt it was funny how Nas didn't know Jay lyrics, but Jay knew Nas'. Nas was really fuckin with this nigga Jigga at all.

[macwit2cs]

IDK man bleek kinda messed this up man, either way this was a huge moment for hip hop

[SCOTTCORDEN]

only if we got to see 2pac and big to do the same !!! think about that ???

[pandasweater]

Best flow and delivery ever = Em

Most successful emcee ever = Jay-Z

[GrKinG23]

LOL if anyone consider Jay-Z or Nas the Greatest Rapper ever..They are both greats but nobody is bigger than Eminem...

Eminem is the G.O.A.T of RAP and it's not even close!

[flobenresist107]

na there all the best rappers alive in my opinion

[mkadoza]

@GrKinG23 Lol if anyone considers Jay-Z or Nas the GOAT? Tch. First, who made you God of all things hip hop? #1 Nas, Jay-Z, and Big L fathered Em's style. #2 Em is prob third on my list preceded by Nas and Jay-Z in that order, so in my opinion its close. #3 for you to absolute disregard rappers like Biggie, Pun, L, Pac, AZ, Rakim, KRS, Kool G Rap, The Lox, all of Wu Tang, Busta, Mos, Kweli, Common, Outkast, Lupe, and many more, and just throw Em the crown shows you have his nuts in your mouth.

[cibida1]

@GrKinG23 cmon son Em is great, but not the GOAT. what do u mean "not even close" .. a term like "not even close" should be used to differ rappers like jay vs 50 or em vs yayo or Biggie vs Sheek Louch...Em Jay and Nas are lyrically on the same level

[GrKinG23]

@cibida1 Eminem is bigger than Hip-Hop.He is the most succesfull overall artist in the planet the last 10 years.

He is a legend.I think he is the Greatest Rapper ever.2Pac and Biggie were great but Em surpass them.Jay-Z,Nas,Rakim all greats but nobody is bigger than Em.

Elvis was the King of Rock n Roll

Michael Jackson the King of Pop

Eminem is the King of Hip-Hop

[GrKinG23]

@cibida1 Eminem is bigger than Hip-Hop.He is the most succesfull overall artist in the planet the last 10 years.

Michael Jackson the King of Pop

Eminem is the King of Hip-Hop

[SISOWOW]

@GrKinG23 he's so succelful because of people like you. you dont know what real 80, 90 hip hop is. last decade hip hop died.

[rezanali]

@GrKinG23 album sales dont make an artist a better one than another. If thats the case soulja boy is better than most artist in the game. Eminem is not the king of hip hop lol lets be real, em even said, it goes reggie, jay z , tupac..and then me, andre 2000 from outcast, jada, kurrupt, nas and biggie (no order).

[SillyAwper]

@rezanali actually he said "it goes reggie, jay z, tupac and biggie, andre from outkast, jada kurrupt nas and THEN ME

you got it wrong son.... but i like the effort no diss towards you.

and just cause em said hes NOT the king of hip hop doesnt mean he isnt. Em is prolly the best MC thats alive but thats only going from MMLP and SSLP. His new shit is complete trash, hell I just gave up on him with recovery and now i fuck with earl sweatshirt cause hes pretty much old em resurrected.

[KarimThaTooN]

@GrKinG23 rofl gtfo kid. success doesn't mean shit within whos the best

[Andrey06Sebastian]

FUCK GAY-Z , the crowd scream 1000 times louder when NAS came on the stage!

[gamabontu34]

@Andrey06Sebastian because the concert was generally thought to be another round of insults to rappers Jay-Z was feuding with i.e Nas,Camron etc but it turned out to be a moment of unity in hip hop. No one expected Nas to be there as this was amidst their battle so the crowd was genuinely surprised he'd show. Do you think on a regular day anyone would give a fuck if Nas was on stage or not?? Fucking idiot before making a stupid statement read into it!

[cdothedamnthing]

Jay-z the best rapper alive, hood n'ggas knows what it is.

Nas is my top 5 too, but he ain't got sh*t on S. Carter besides Illmatic which is the best album of all time.

[krisi359]

it's nas he even said "let's go Esco"

[GGG969]

Issit me, or did I hear Nas mess up and try to skip to the chorus too early at 2:34

[Airbornebull]

@GGG969 Thats not Nas. That is bleek you heard

[Alytoner]

You know you guys should be getting royalties on this video. They took it off of youtube and I have the same song downloaded on one of his albums. I think you should call Hova...

[piybf]

wish i was there!!!

[koffybrown1]

Now that's how 'men' settle beef.

[MoronBrainTherapy]

greatest moment in hip hop

[003bone]

the bitch in the background is pissing me off

[BigThree47]

Truely one of the greatest moments in hip hop history.

[VirtuaFighter5R]

nas #1 fuck the rest!!!!

[VeneratedWatchman]

LOL @ 00:16 - DON'T YOU DO IT!

[silentbob312]

Fuck that shit, Lets go Esko!

[crownchrist]

UNITED WE STAND....STATE OF HIP HOP

[superswaggful]

u know at the end of the end of the day that is wat it is all about people giving respect got mad luv for jat-z and nas

[SiR433217]

booo!

[lee300gs]

nas killed that joint!! no arguments as to who won that famous battle.

[darcskies777]

"Dont you do it" LMAO

[ObiBrown12]

I have seen this video so many times, but I still get chills when Jay say "Let's go Esco."

[polo6543210]

@ObiBrown12 Me too!

[circaboy]

jay-z ended a beef he started himself and he couldnt handle it anymore...thats sad for him...but like everybody says, it was a great moment in hip hop history

[sleepy9612]

@circaboy well memphis really started then nas responded

[YIsEvryonePickinOnMe]

gives you chills. what a great moment in music history.

[ovafiend]

notice how nas doesn't ad lib ne of jay's lyrics and, and jay-z damn near does the whole of nas' verse.

you can tell that jay was a fan of illmatic.

[lbpmrb]

lol i dont think nas knows much of jay's lyrics as well as jay's knows his

[QWEENZkiD]

im pretty sur they both kno all the lyrics for take over and ether

[thekidfamous25]

@QWEENZkiD

OMGG ME TOO MANN... i get chills for like a straight minute after he says that.

[TomatoBasil23]

you aint human nor a hiphop fan if this shit didn't send chills down your spine the first time you saw it in 2005

when news of this shit broke back then, the hiphop world turned upside down and exploded

hiphop needed this partnership to happen for the greater good

[LockinTv12]

Jay is such a Dick Ridding Fagot >:0 !

[Ak7kid]

@LockinTv12 he love the attention

queens niggers run you niggers ask russel simmons :O

[haakondale]

1:10 listen to the screaming hahahahaha :D:D

[dondutch92]

hear all these jay-z fans, they never wanted jay-z to take a shot at nas...

they all waited for the moment jay-z made amends

happy ending

[007precise]

REAL SHIT RIGHT HERE........

[TomatoBasil23]

@007precise man the way the crowd erupted was exactly how every hiphop fan true to the art felt inside... one of the greatest moments in hiphop history right here... disgraceful that this shit only has 92,000 views... should have well in excess of 1 mill

[The90slim90]

I think Nas is better.

[anel313]

nas got better lyrics

jay got better live voice, nas is just yelling look at his other live performances

[The90slim90]

Right

[donatshabani]

Nas is better hands down

[sashikwa]

im so mad i missed this shit, history rite here

jay-z 1 of the greatest

nas the greatest

[TheLorient]

one of the greatest moments in hip-hop history

[superzyrex]

all the years of "animosity" and these fools know the words to each-others songs. lol

[Antrizzle2009]

@superzyrex real recognize real. Before the beef shit started, Jay was a fan of Nas, he even admitted as much.

[ericrosiek]

@Antrizzle2009 jay-z wanted to sign nas to his label, its not like he has to try and hide that or admit anything

[thasy2n8]

Ladies and Gentlemen...Boys And Gyrlz

Children of allllll ages

This is HipHop!

[TheEthanCandelaria]

jay z and nas are both great rappers

[xmuscularghandix]

[smoothbluekiwi]

[dertyDos]

[trudon]

man i wish i was at dat show....great hip hopmoment. two of the greatest.

[TheMagis]

. . . Where does Tupac even come in here? Tupac isn't the best you morons. It's a matter of fucking opinion. In my opinion, Nas shits over every mainstream rapper that has existed in the past 5-6 years except for Eminem (Who is now crap) and Jay Z.

[rangers25rdb]

lupe definetely up there tho

[wodney69]

Dude, that is the most truest comment on here. I couldnt agree more with ya!!!!!!! Good to see someone who has a fair comment to write

[mavaric]

This is Why I love Hip Hop!!

[Evepac]

this is why 'Pac and Big never had a chance to do but this is a great model for us lil niggas following hip hop...kudos to Nas and Jay

[rangers25rdb]

would of been great if they could of though

[CUBOLITO]

[anotha101aftermath]

nas is the only rapper out their who deserves all the hype you fucking idiot..

[mrconckey]

nas didnt know dead prez lyrics nas dosnt have grate stage prezints S. hyped nas up

[Steelafan763]

biggest moment in hip hop

[patrickchatham]

And does anyone know who the third on stage is? Is that Beanz? Please someone tell me.

[patrickchatham]

You hear someone at the start say Nas is coming out, then a hater says "dont do it", spinetingling is the word we all use. I just got out of prison and I read about this in XXL and I almost shed tears. Niggas cant understand if they dont love HIP HOP. Just like Budden says on "Who killed hip hop", these fans put they whole life on the line ,like they cant like more than one rapper at a time. I love both these Juggernaughts. I wish B.I.G. and PAC couldve done it. BIG SKITZO.G.

[trudon]

yeah man dis is spine tinglin. nas and jay reunited, hip hop history. if i was dere....wow

[lzmar25]

DAMMMMM!!!! this shit must've been CRAZYY. wish i was there

[MICTOUB]

Man gives me chills everytime I see this video. I will never get over the fact that I was never there.....crazy!

[LAFAMILIA504]

damn i wish i was there

[kuristoufa]

[donstatusnyc87]

[Lavaughn2]

and whoever put that red shit by my comment u are a bitch

[Lavaughn2]

Whoever wrote that red shit by my comment u are a bitch

[kween3546]

Best thing these 2 couldve EVER done for HIP HOP

[kungpaoch1cken]

this shit is executed so well...the first verse of World Is Yours sounds so good over the Dead Prez melody

[youngsmoke12345]

best rap performance ever

[HipHop101Tv]

50 WILL SIGN JA HE SUCKS AS HELL

[jjabc123]

unstopable combo

[SageofSorrow]

Nigga Nas was like "Shit! I don't know this nigga lyrics" LOL! But he played it off cool though.

[Lavaughn2]

I wish this was ja Rule and 50Cent

[CrazyArab93]

naaaaa FUCK JA RULE

[Lavaughn2]

ok then both of them muthafuckas gon get killed if they dont cut a bullshit

[prboycheko]

Pac & Nas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BIG & Jay-Z

[Jrobinson2009]

MC List Video You Gotta See This!!

[illmaticnastynas]

Haha, Jay-Z be bumping that Nas shit. Notice how Jay raps The World is Yours but Nas dosnt rap Dead Presidents.

[Cblock1985]

this shit gives me the chills!!! its like if pac and biggy ever had a chance to re-unite...but this is beautiful shit!!!

[dddoughboyyy]

hahaha jayz listened to nas songs all along

[wordlaw20]

this was mothufuckin history right here real talk. But for all you dumbasses Pac was the best ever. Notice how pac only got better and better everytime He dropped a album. He would still be on top if he was still alive. So shut the fuck up.

[youngpanthas09]

whast this song called

[hardactinman]

dead presidents

[brohken]

lol pac was a hipcocrite and you're all on his dick.

nas tells the better story and tells it better. pac will talk about love and peace and then go beat someone down and get his dumb ass shot. good riddance. he's the greatest ever in your hearts because he's gone. if he was alive today nas would still be #1 and pac would maybe be top 20. probably in jail too.

[FLYNIGGA3000]

Nas is better than pac especially when he dissed him on last real nigga alive

[nick4man3]

Hahahahaha.

Good one.

Nas is great, but nobody with half of a brain would ever say Nas is better than 2Pac.

Nas is great, Pac is greater.

Don't be forgetting that shit anytime soon homie.

[mikeybear3269]

this fool must not listen to rap or he's high..

2Pac is the greatest..

Big is 2nd & third we'll never know

[nick4man3]

3rd is a toss up.

I'd put up Mos Def.

But that's just me.

I'd even be hesitent to put up B.I.G. as #2.

It's a matter of personal opinion.

[joking84]

i agree 100 percent
