[lorendu92]

I hate this song, I hate the beat. Each time I hear it, I cry, and I don't know why...

[ManSmokingACigarette]

Oh my god I just found out what highs 2 lows by nujabes references to by "Sleep is a cousin of death said a wise man from queensbridge on beats he blessed..."

So Nas is the wise man from queensbridge...I feel like a detective lol.

[chuckieboy1988]

learn to balance pain with fame can't complain- prodigy

[TheEpicWarrior2]

this is just a jab at big .... ny east was at its highest in this period with rae nas ghost big jay n mobb deep

[Adriangrosvenor]

How many of you know this is a Biggie Dis?

[Jtownprice]

@Adriangrosvenor and 2Pac!!

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice Nah, this is not a Pac dis, this is what caused the whole Nas vs Pac situation, Pac thought the song was about him, but when he saw Nas in Ny he explained that this song was about Biggie and that whole beef was squashed before it started. Pac went back to remove the dis in his song towards Nas, but sadly he died and today people are not aware of the fact that those lyrics towards Nas would have never been heard if Pac lived longer. Nas was cool with Pac, but Pac got offended

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice because he thought when Nas said" fake thug no love you get the slugs" he meant him, when the song was directed at Biggie. Biggie then returned a diss towards Nas called Kick in the Door. Big diss Nas real hard on that track. Where he says "their is no other king in this rap thing their siblings" in response to Nas, "let you all know one thing, their could only be one King" Pac got upset to quick because he assumed all of NY was in Bigs corner, but Nas was always against Big from

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice the start. That's why you would never hear Nas place Biggie in front of him when he is asked who is the greatest. He only says Pac, Nas and Big. And Nas only mentions Big because prior when he used to say Pac, Nas and any other Mc, NY would get in an uproar and talk about Biggie. But big aint that real. Like Nas says Big is a fake thug, nothing he rapped about he did.

[Jtownprice]

@Adriangrosvenor Well why is Biggie one of the greatest w/Nas and Pac, huh?!?!? You gotta see Notorious about his life story!! I like all 3 but Biggie's #1 in my book. IDC what you NOR ANYBODY says!!

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice I saw that movie, it was nice but those facts are a bit twisted. Big mother destroyed Bigs credibility back then, when she was asked in an interview if Big lived the grimy lifestyle. And she said Big was just writing stories,and her son never had any hardships in his life. Big went private school, his mother provided everything for him. That song Juicy and those other two songs were nothing based on Big's life. So after that Big lost a lot of street cred. When he died ppl made him

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice a "gangster" but Big was no gangster, Big was a real quiet dude. Pac help Big get on, but Puffy ruined Big and turned him into this "gangster" that he was not. Pac actually believed Big was from the streets also, but when he soon learned after being shot about Bigs background and saw big was fronting when he said he was the king of new york. Pac went at him hard. When Pac was in population for 11 months Big refused to go look for Pac or send any money because of Puffy

[Adriangrosvenor]

@Jtownprice Big is only considered great because of his flow. But if Lil Wayne existed back then, ppl would also be saying Wayne is beast. Am no wayne fan, but quite frankly Big and Wayne are doing the exact same thing. Except for the fact Big flowed better and made it believable. Puffy robbed Big blind. Pac signed to Death Row to get out of prison though. After he Cd sold, he was attacking suge for his money but ppl dont mention that. I doubt Pac would have lasted a Yr on death Row had he lived

[TheProjectManhattan]

@Adriangrosvenor "Am no wayne fan, but quite frankly Big and Wayne are doing the exact same thing. Except for the fact Big flowed better and made it believable." lol...pretty stupid statement. Its much more than his flow and making it believable

[Adriangrosvenor]

@TheProjectManhattan So what more did Big do? Let me know something that Big that was real.

[uiolkijhgh]

long live!!!!!!!!!!

[goodguyj]

@alwaysnforeververo how da the fuck is nas a wanna b nigga hes one thebest mc's ever, pac was greezy too

[Beatupoldtrailer]

"A thug changes, Love changes, And best friends become strangers."



[ZaNDii3]

Masterpiece. Lots of respect.

[keithok91]

real rappers= nas biggie pac & em!!

[Jtownprice]

@keithok91 Amen to that!!

[SketchTheDj]

Attention Nas fans Listen up

On September 14th we gotta all watch "Nas Is Like" in honor of Nasir Olu Dara Jones' Birthday, We gotta give him the respect he needs and give him the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what these fake ass motherfuckas (any rapper on the radio) don't deserve to have

Copy and paste to all Nas' videos and all music videos let's get this shit noticed.

Thumbs this up so people could see

[PLOttawa]

Nas keeps exploding with the best of hip-hop but this chune remains my fav of his.

[CahillBeatz]

"HQ Music Video"

Y U NO HQ!?!

[Bangura187]

@CahillBeatz

lmfao

[MyOnlyLoveMusic]

@CahillBeatz at least its not edited!!

[InflationGaming]

@CahillBeatz HQ stands for High Quality dumb ass, they didn't say HD (High Definition) Go back to school and get an education.

[CahillBeatz]

@InflationGaming why u mad bro. no need for the hate.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@InflationGaming

Lol. Don't know what school you want to but my school didn't teach me about "HQ" and "HD".

[Hobbnobb]

@InflationGaming High quality is 720p...

[InflationGaming]

@Hobbnobb no that's high definition. HD=Screen quality (240,360,720,1080,etc.) HQ=Sound quality.

[inb4deth]

@InflationGaming Indeed, check the date. 2008 = b4 yt offered HD content

[Rob1Esco]

@InflationGaming i dont think school teaches difference between HQ and HD ???

[iHelptheNeeded]

@Rob1Esco

I'm pretty sure you're just uneducated then, learn it on the internet or actually it's common sense. Go get some.

[Rhinooh]

@InflationGaming HQ is 480p, this is 240p :)

[germancseo]

woow....

[Alltimeboxing]

[wwerocks5907]

NAS has the deepest lyrics of any rapper. he is better then pac because pac was never a g he just talked about it nas was both.

[lorendu92]

RIP real rap, I so would like to know you...

[M3N4C1]

@lorendu92 wat up my homeee

[Blam3itonhenny]

@lorendu92 Hip Hops not dead theres still plenty of real artists. You just have to know where to look. Look up Kendrick Lamar, J cole, or the Knowmads all of them are still real rap artists.

[ashleyboyo69]

@lorendu92 what the fuck is this "real rap" *facepalm* it's all real...just not all good

[Jakey4seasons]

@ashleyboyo69 '*facepalm*'?... faggot.

[ashleyboyo69]

@Jakey4seasons that makes sense...faggot, and you know i'm right

[waaromooknietheh]

one of the best songs ever made, how can this video only have 640000 views

[gignmilitia]

26 people didn't get the message!!!

[moustikk51]

25 blaireaux qui n'aimment pas !!

Comment peut-on ne pas aimer un rappeur aussi grand que Nas ?

[516mello]

Hu ever tryin 2 compare jcole wit any gud rapper yall gotta stop cole not from da streets he is a educated nigga wit a college degree

[jamice10000]

@516mello What are you talking about? J cole lived in the ghetto before he went to college. He lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This area has a VERY high crime rate. Look it up yourself. I don't listen to his music but ain't no reason to try to diss him.

[YungBoi214]

@516mello wtf j.cole is wanna tha most lyrical rappers out rite now go liten to sum of his song khid

[intent100]

@alwaysnforeververo this aint a diss 2 tupac but either way nas>tupac aint even close

[Hardlegend]

25 people got to be def

this is reall ...

[AakwardAardvark]

amazing song who said illmatic was his best album?> he definately made tracks that lived up to it

[MrAirjordan894]

@AakwardAardvark illmatic is his best album

[AIFRANCHISE1]

@AakwardAardvark Tracks not albums...Illmatic>anything anyone will ever put out.

[AakwardAardvark]

@AIFRANCHISE1 ya ok...

[Godlovespoppunk]

@AakwardAardvark It was written was better in my opinion but Illmatic was still sick

[FLFunky]

@AakwardAardvark i'd say It Was Written, and I Am both are classics, people always compares Nas's shit to Illmatic!! honestly pull Nastradamus out of his discography and id say all he dropped is classics man.. but honestly It was written & I am arent far from Illmatic perfection

[Kryptsanies]

@AakwardAardvark illmatic greatest album of all time, so anything he put out after is clearly gonna be second to it.
