[BigGuns13D]

@1evilz06 i can name one. J. Cole.

[Ducksexbody]

@BigGuns13D Cole is average. Couldn't rock with someone like Nas.

[AbuOmar]

Nas and G rap share the top spot. The apex of story telling in hiphop.

[1EVILZ06]

The art of story telling has died a slow death in hip hop....Name one nigga in heavy rotation on raido who can spit a story like some of the greatest mc's.

Answer none!

[MrAkastas]

straight ill shit!

[the7int]

Nas just spit a Quinton Tarantino movie!!!

[bkobusingye]

[joelul176]

[MrSlik25]

[ThumbsUpMike]

Everytime I listen to this song my heart stops for a second cuz I'm waiting forever for the song to begin and it starts LOUD AS HELL when I least expect it and it freaks me out lol

[ceaso21]

@ThumbsUpMike think u would turn down the volume after the first time lol

[ThumbsUpMike]

@ceaso21 but i love blasting nas music lol

[HowlDono]

Nas is Crazy

[72KLEW]

Ain't a popularity contest all nas fans know that he never got much publicity and they don't care he is still just as good as anyone

[suwoo105]

reminds me of small world from his i am album nasty does it again

[cetnikz]

i love the ending lyrics.

[rerun718]

my friend knows the raider he's talking about haha

[juney00]

this song is sooooooo sick!!!!!! storytelling baby!

[lakermajik]

storytellin at its finest...slick rick is the father of that shit tho....Reakwon also got that shit down!

[Rambo29]

@lakermajik Yep, Nas was the heir to the storyteller throne. I think it goes:

Slick Rick > Raekwon/Ghost > Nas > Jay Electronica

[NastyNasRules]

@Rambo29 You cant put the student (Jay Electronica) above the Teacher (Nas)

[Rambo29]

@NastyNasRules Who you think was Nas's teacher, it was Raekwon. Thats a timeline fool, it aint like math. I'm saying first the storyteller was Slick Rick, then Raekwon, then Nas and so on.

[NastyNasRules]

@Rambo29 Alrite Nigga, my bad. 

[Antrizzle2009]

@Rambo29 I wouldn't call Raekwon Nas' teacher, considering they came out around the same time. I'd say they was both pupils of Slick Rick and Rakim, among others.

[Rambo29]

@Antrizzle2009 Of course kind sir, I forgot that was written in pg. 46 of the Definitive Hip Hop Encyclopedia for Nerds surfin Youtube

[Antrizzle2009]

@Rambo29 Just saying it sounds dumb to say Raekwon is Nas' teacher when Nas first came out in 1991, two years before Raekwon. If that makes me a nerd than so be it. I been a hip hop stan for 20 years.

[Rambo29]

@Antrizzle2009 Nas did not come out before Raekwon, Raekwon was out in 91 maybe not as popular. I'm not continuing this discussion you're makin some good pts but obviously this is fuckin stupid. Just listen to the song, we aint gonna have an intelligent debate about hip hop on youtube.

[hiphopfiend2487]

@Rambo29 nas was out in 91 too son.....also not as popular

[Antrizzle2009]

@Rambo29 I thought we were having an intelligent debate. Hell that's what youtube is for lol. oh well. Funny thing is I like both dudes, two of my favorite artists.

[Rambo29]

@Antrizzle2009 Nah youtube ain't for intelligent debates, its for youtards and ppl gettin drunk & hi postin whatever lol.

If you wanna have an intelligent debate. Both Raekwon and Nas came out around the same time, Nas was younger. Both are storyteller emcees and honestly if you wanna consider Nas's "teacher" its closer to Rakim and Raekwon.

[NaStyNaS1973]

@Rambo29 nas is easily a superior mc than rae in prob every facet. ghostface is the nicest from the wu, gza is a close 2nd. nas is in his own league, easily better than raekwon. wu tang is that shit but strictly from an mc perspective there's no way.

[RkoSerbia]

now that's storytelling, great track

Nas is the best rapper alive

[primetimesuspect]

your mothers a whore PS dope shit

[23viktor23]

Nas is the current king in hip-hop. jay-z is close but Nas is still way better

[MrBobby511]

Still ILLmatic (stillmatic)

[bolomiteplyr]

best story teller ..PERIOD!!

[Jljujubeats]

Havoc!

[ekamwamba]

I AM would've been 5 mics i guess..

[JoeydaButcher]

Great taste in music my guy this song is that deal keep bangin this shit for niggas no real shit not all this fake shit out here love from the Chi kid am out...

[olek7881]

is that love somenbody's wife fuck a dog:)

[xDrRotwangx]

is this love? Somebodys wife fucking a thug.

[asiaticthaprophet]

I Am was going to be FIRE!!

[asiaticthaprophet]

As a Nas fan I had to ride for him after the whole I AM.. bootlegging incident. In my opinion, everything happens for a reason, cause Nas got stronger after that a debacle.

[RelaxednCaIm]

not only that but stillmatic could have been a lot tighter, one mic, your the man, rewind, 2nd childhood, the intro, plus purple, doo rags, no ideas original, etc... matic was still good though.

[Appetite2]

This is my shit! I need the acapella to this...

[ironman908]

I like this song better wit that beat produced by Eminem or w.e .sounds alot better.

[brownhustlerrr]

what is the story about

[common11sense]

he hooks up with a cheerleader who was married to a NFL player. he finds out that she would get a huge settlement check if her husband died. so he flew to Venezuela, killed him while he was nailing his spanish maid. then he got scared the cheerleader would snitch so he decided to kill her too. then he took the money.

[mixmastermurf]

@common11sense sounds right only i think the plan was to move with her to venezuela with the cash.

also he took the maid with him after he killed the husband and forged the wifes name acting like the wife was her.

then he kills the maid lol

[common11sense]

@mixmastermurf hahaha...that's harsh

[prowla33]

mid 90s-late 90s had best hiphop music

[daomega420]

goood story! i doubt it was true though

[Jonny89718]

@daomega420 doesn't matter

[Coolie7]

This is a TOUGH throwback, mid 90's right here son. This was leaked off of the original I AM album lineup. My NYC days right here B!

[spawnedagony]

Man..great song.

[theZodiacDigital]

so is the fullback for the raiders jon ritchie? or is nas just making shit up?

[briank1ne]

im sure its a different player. He just needed something to rhyme with terrell davis.

[theZodiacDigital]

hmm, i wonder how much of this story is true and how much isnt.

[jayrebb]

[shaundewey]

[RelaxednCaIm]

undying love as well

[kmg0330]

You already know!

[sabon125]

Blaze a 50 means smoking a 50$ bag of weed and not out of a 50 dollar bill.

[tdenoon78]

Ill story by the best who ever did it!

[hughflynt516]

the moral of the story, is that eventually all this greed is going to kill us

[BR1AN21SON]

i would have liked to have seen mobb deep on this beat when they were in their prime back in 94-99. that would have been sick.

[DRWRITER08]

yea word this sounds like there kinda beat

[Lebinatrix]

Blaze a 50 = Smoke a Blunt.....

[thuglife050]

he is talkin about smokin weed in a 50 dollar bill

that's all

[avdoavdoavdoavdo]

hahaha did someone actually think he was talkin about 50 on this track...clowns

[breeze503]

LOL! Was 50 even relevant when this came out?

[50eathaters]

He wasnt talkin about 50 cent, he was talkin about smokin weed in a 50 dollar bill ! and 50 more successful that nas now anyways !

[jose4891]

why because hes a Hollywood nigga now with his TV shows..bein all up in the magazines...Nas is the only fuck one from the golden age to still be keepin it real

[SwishaBeats503]

Half buck eats dicks and licks ass. Dont dis Nasty.

[mellowbrotha21]

lol he is talking about a 50 bag of weed not 50 cent lol

[mizqt05]

I don't understand the story much. I do a bit though.

[aobb223]

nas goes 2 a superbowl party, meets a chick there, shes married 2 a baller and she tells nas if he kills her husband, they can make money off life insurance.. when nas goes 2murda theguy he links up with the maid instead and nas eventually puts crushed up glass in a cokebaglol and killsher

[hayesj1007]

@aobb223 almost bro... dude was sexin the maid when nas bust in and he shot him but she was blind folded already so she was screamin no but she didnt see him. thats why he says lucky she was blindfold cuz he lets her live, but then he goes back to meet up with the dudes wife again and since he don't trust her (being that she did set up her own husband) he sets up her coke bag with crushed glass instead. One good sort of that, boy! I wouldn't want to be her.

[Nastalgic99]

my favorite track on the lost tapes next to u gotta love it. He is the best story teller of all time

[sil2k8]

this isnt a diss to 50 :S

lol

only person worthy enough to beef nas is jay

so i don't think he'd waste time beefing 50

[appau3]

sounds like mobb deep - more trife life

[illwill2g1]

[diplomatz1718]

[Funky887]

this has been one of my fav 10 tracks since it came out..literally blew me away the first time i heard it

[shonha1]

top down, night air, blow her hair, sky black, stars glow, the face in the moon stare...

damn yo vivid ain't the word.

[CraCCs30]

Sex Sand M Sadial masticistic sadistic yoked him from behind and blew him out exsistence

[icecold4eva]

@CraCCs30 sadomasochistic...peace

[spyder851]

Best story teller ever hands down.

[majik1206]

"Hittin it raw, tastin it, wildin out on my character, tapin it

Tyra Banks face and facelifts"....

The story is brilliance. NAs is da truth.

[London2ATL]

Definitely Havoc behind the board, this is that classic MOBB DEEP suund! Havoc is underated!

[KoolDa1]

I agree!

[Makaveliblast1st]

but dont hate on pac man, yes nas is my favorite rapper alive, pac and nas my fav 2, pac had a different style fo sure, he could do great emotional tracks like dear mama, my block, words to my 1st born og, u got to hear those songs, he comes from the heart

[SDSOverfiend]

This is when Havoc was supplying heat for Nas. This story is crazy. How he put Terrell Davis in there is crazy.

"Took her glass out her Coach bag/Snorted it started screaming yo we almost crash/Earlier i took the coke out replace it with crushed up glass."

This line had me fucked up for years. This Nigga is a fucking genius.

[foxy1xx]

COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF MAN,lolxx!!!!!!

[SDSOverfiend]

LOL!!! Thats Nas for you.

[foxy1xx]

LOL!!!!xxx

[NewSchoolRapForever]

"took a blast out of her coke bag" aka, she snorted.

[foxy1xx]

lost tapes up there with illmatic......!!!!

[MorbidShit2007]

the piano sounds great

[BlessThaHood]

I never knew the first words was his hook i was confused, i thought he was just spitting. I still love this song though, Nas is my idol, I just hope he goes back to his street shit rather then his political shit.

[jazzymania93]

crazy!!!!!!!!

[briank1ne]

this beat is murder

[busterboozler]

nas da best get 2know
