NAS-MY COUNTRY

[AceKing2012]

RIP Gaddafi Fought for what was real

[TheTrampolineMen]

@AceKing2012 lmao

[AceKing2012]

@TheTrampolineMen I'm serious. He did fight for what was real.

[TheTrampolineMen]

@AceKing2012 he killed his people, he was a very cruel man and a very bad leader.

[AceKing2012]

@TheTrampolineMen Wrong. He was a very good man who did not kill his people. He did however kill Al Queda terrorists that the western media labeled as "peaceful protesters"....I also advise to read what Nas thinks of Gaddafi.

[TheTrampolineMen]

@AceKing2012 i would guess his country thought otherwise based on their actions.

[AceKing2012]

@TheTrampolineMen Oh yes. 80% of his country supported him and still support him. America supported one tribe in one of the cities and made it look like it was the majority. They were after Libya's oil. When Gaddafi was in power he deposited oil profits directly into the citizens of Libyas bank accounts. Read up. Gaddafis Libya standard of living>American standard of living. Now it is filled with Al Queda.

[Melaku85]

I was looking on the news yesterday. Polls show the people's confidence in the government is at just 9%! That means the only believer's are the relatives and friends of the politicians themselves. My country.

[Melaku85]

After 11 years this song is still relevant with the times. Look at the bailouts of the banks and auto industry imposed against the vote of the people by both Republicans and Democrats might I add, in private meetings. The Iraq war that bled the poor and working class dry. These oppressions are imposed by a ruling class conspiracy pulling strings of wealthy bankers and politicians. I salute the OCCUPY WALLSTREET MOVEMENTS. Someone should make a video of these current events to this theme song.

[B11man15]

Blurry visions of dad holdin' me high

It comes to me slowly, the words he would cry... awesome.... i miss my dad :(

[YoungPrinceYPTV]

I think everyone knows what he is talking about on this... Just think about it... Think about it.

[BeenaBee]

Nas is a voice for the struggle...

[ariues]

[ariues]

[MrAntman321]

4 ppl are blind to the truth he speaks

[ilovekellyclarksonxx]

Respond to this video... blurry visions of dad holdin me high, it comes to me slowly the words he would cry

[TzuBabu]

@FAVELAMUZIK i think he's doing what a lot of rappers do,he incarnates people he knows or that he saw,and exposes their feelings by his own words.at least i think...

[brook5able]

QQQQQQQBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

[KNOWLEDGEsEnOr]

f*** lil wayne, NaS is Da BEST

[cetnikz]

It was packed on the Ryker's bus The tight cuffs is holdin' me shackled The life of a thug caught in the devil's lap On the streets I was invincible Cowards would duck at a glimpse if they knew What my pistol would do, a fuckin' killa Mothers of dope fiend embarrassin' me All in front of my friends In the street smile with no teeth I never knew daddy, heard he had a 72 caddy Died in a robbery, can't remember him, was probably 3

[ChiTownsRealest]

My country shitted on me and Nas continues to shit on them! Nas is the best MC alive!

[Resurgery1]

Dont ever compare 50 Cent, lil Wayne, Puff and god knows who those Patsy Rappers are to NAS! old school Respect from a guy born 1981

[illriginalized]

I can't believe the stupid comments I'm reading here... Lil Wayne nor 50 cent could ever touch NAS. To even come up with that idea is quite foolish.

[TheChayLopez]

@illriginalized Dude, don't even bother arguing it. Does someone who puts Wayne or 50's name in the same sentence as Nas even know what they are talking about?! LMAO Just let them speak, they are shooting themselves in the knee LMAO

[1souljaingodseyes]

you all have the game twisted you keep comparing lyricist's to rappers !!! tupac ,nas, papoose, styles p jada ect the artists who are sayin something . the other artists you mention are just rhyming words they hear everyday and intraping those individuals who pay attention to what they say ..When in fact they should be trying to reach out to you and bring light onto things some ppl would otherwise never have seen .. EDUCATION is the key!

[Shiitake1UPs]

the song would be so much better with a diffrent beat

[INDZDIPSET]

WE KNOW TOO MUCH,

WEVE SEEN TO MUCH....

[Davdagawd]

wow this song brings back so many memories

[BeenaBee]

this song bleeds pain and struggle in search for redemption....NaS = True Legend

[Kosterinho10]

[NuMeskeetVideos]

@StupidNub hahhahahahhaahahhahahahahahaha­hahahaah XD

[easye2233]

All countries are beautiful, it is the capitalists that own them that make them shit, leaving workers in a never ending struggle, doing whatever necessary to survive. We all slaves in the system.

[sinccitybabyface]

if u guys like this listen to immortal technique trust me this dude is %100 independent bad ass rapper songs like harlem streets

[easye2233]

@sinccitybabyface Immortal Technique is sick.

[thebuzdar]

Na dude It goes Tupac, Immortal Technique, Nas. And no one is else on their level.

[TheDarkKnight0101]

@thebuzdar immortal technique is not better than nas fuck you smokin

[sjhoetker]

whoever says the dude rappin with Nas is AZ needs to re-study hip hop.... that would be Millenium Thug... he's good, but no AZ

[ImpatientWreck]

@sjhoetker Yes def, Millenium Thug aka Nashawn, Nas's cousin.

[edwin22ification]

nas one of the best lyricist biggie, pac , jay z nas best rappers of all time not in that order all depnds on ur flavor

[robbtheruler]

[TheDarkKnight0101]

@MrLamountpolk  na, it's Jungle

[INS14466]

Pac Nas and Big AINT NO BEST!

[VictimOfBoredom]

Stupid song.

[ThumbsUpMike]

@VictimOfBoredom yeah to retards who dont listen to lyrics and understand the meaning......guess what that makes you;P

this song is an amazing meaningful song......learn your hip hp bitch

[VictimOfBoredom]

@ThumbsUpMike I made that comment precisely because I *did* read the lyrics and understand the meaning (which ain't exactly hard—this ain't fucking Shakespeare).

[ThumbsUpMike]

@VictimOfBoredom well...clearly you didnt cuz you wouldnt be hating on this song then

who says this is shakespeare? hip hop is a lyrical genre...even if music industry elites dont want it to be...deep down it is

get with the lyrics and love em

[hustla513]

one of the hardest songs nas has ever made az is one of the most underated artists

[willmeril]

this dude is just too good. nas for ever

[ibistanley]

Bigs of to Nas, after several weeks in college I still refer to this classic right here to choose a topic for my speech class. I am presenting a speech about Patrice Lumumba. According to Nas Patrice Lumumba is a revolutionary that "is trying to fight for what is real, and destroyed by his own people." Young rappers should learn to read sometimes, so that they can educate us with with what we love(Hip Hop). Not to feed us with imaginary truth. Nas is a legend

[EXTRATIPSY]

THE FUCCN BEST CLASSIC

[Dpl420]

nas sold his sole to the devil just like jay Z dont look to this dude to start the revolution since 2009 Nas went wrong dude used to be true im not a hater im just saying this was 3 years ago hes corporate controlled now

[youngvito262]

@Dpl420 i thought he was going a different route when he signed with def jam, but he made "hiphop is dead" and then the "nigger" album was revolutionary 4real. i just dont see when he sold his soul. jay z really dont deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence... to me, nas is the greatest since makaveli. also he been dealing with corporations since the begginning of his career. he was signed to SONY lol while he was making revolutionary street music. freemason bullshit is over rated

[stalepeas]

@youngvito262 for real, stop that freemason bullshit those ppl believe anything.

plus since when freemasons were devil worshippers? :)

[shonha1]

@Dpl420 do some research on the content of songs he's put out since goin to DefJam, nd that includes features, u tryin to tell me the artist who put out HipHop Is Dead, Untitled, with songs like America,Testify, Louis Farrakhan, which (DefJam didn't have the balls to give a title on the track listing), We're Not Alone, features like Governmentalists wit Joss Stone, Help Somebody wit Maxwell, The World Is Yours10, nd Distant Relatives, is corperate, don't believe everything u see on Youtube son

[SkeetsTV]

Sounds better, My Country My Country Wants to get rid of me.. etc.. :)

[BktotheUk]

Yo homies out there im four decades old peep this i lived in New York 26 years went up north did seven joints and got deported so my country shiitted on me is for real. This joint here is the truth son. ILLUMANATY PULLS THE STRINGS THE GOV ARE JUST PUPPETS ON A STRING

[23viktor23]

darkbeats son

[EricPowellAKAELPJ]

My country shitted on me, she wants to get rid of me, cuz the things ive seen!, cuz the things ive seen!

[aftermathkayg]

........go out and buy NAS and them last real rappers left, they at least tell u what ya never listen on da radio !!! As Great ESCO put it in two lines, Radio and TV poison, schools where i learned it should be burned its poison !!! What more do ya wanna hear !

[aftermathkayg]

[TheMrBenjamin]

Start a revolution my brother

[stopwhining1]

"im the provider, wit goals to do much better than my father whether through drugs sold or holdin revolvers"

[shipahit]

Nashaun kills it.....ffuck a twenty inch as long as we got gas and water....wow

[ibistanley]

feel ya PreCurSed.. good hip hop is not always on radio.

[childgarvey]

slash that good hip hop is never on the radio its not in the interest of the American government. Nas is a lyrical worrier why do you think they are trying to get him for tax evasion and give him financial difficulties. because of the social commentary that reaches so many across the world including London where I live

[chychy1]

man this dudes rly a genious fuck at the lyrics man this nigga deserves way more than hes receving right now

[ibistanley]

it's a billion dollars biz courts, lawyers and jail its has no respecter for skin. this.... ain't musik its a lecture. nasir is the king.

[ibistanley]

no doubt nas is the real king 50, wayne, jigga, name them they all kn that.....peace

[cardiffman2008]

nas/az/wu tang/rakim/method man/redman/inspectah deck/mobb deep theres a few real rappers who's music isnt just about money women guns and drugs this mainstream shit is killing hip hop and wen its gone it will be 2 late make a change throw out ya lil wayne cd's and pick up a nas or wu tang album get in touch with the artists who paved the way 4 faggots like wayne and soulja boy.

[aftermathkayg]

..50 Cent is shit , that mofaka aint even knowing what goes around , he fooled young ppl in to buying his fake shit , when he done did Ja Rule , ppl thought he was real , but mofaka is even worse than Ja , ............i always wonder why they dont play Nas , Pac, Dead Prez and KRS on da radion , that mofaking music racism!!!! U R DA MAN ESCO!!!!

[Briankf2]

First let me state, NAS is the best..of all time in my opinion. But 50 really isnt bad....he just got rich and stopped tryin.

[termbro]

@Briankf2 lol what u said about 50 u got from the game his diss, exactly the same :P (i belive play the game)

[mccolinas]

@

50 GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN....

DEAD PREZ GET FREE OR DIE TRYIN........

THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY .....

[carmenia2007]

@Briankf2 lol. got rich and stop tryin'. haha.

[Reyes05]

@Briankf2 lol

[goanyways]

@Briankf2 50 isn't bad you're right. 50 is actually better than alright. Nas is over 50, and overall, Pac is the best. Period.

[CrazyJerks56]

@Briankf2 someone actually tried to tell me some "Mac Miller" is better than NaS...

[rbx22]

@Briankf2 first let me tell you you cant compare nas with 50 just because they´re black or doin hip hop

[Briankf2]

@rbx22 Second let me tell you you're a fuckin' dumb ass and ignorant for thinking I was comparing them because they are black.

[BlueWaffleMan9000]

@Briankf2 well he completed his dream, he got rich, and didnt die tryin!

[youralcoholicdad44]

@Briankf2 yeah Power of the Dollar was a classic album. you can't compare it to Illmatic tho.

[sinizta94]

@youralcoholicdad44 Thats Hard To Compare Power Of The Dollar To Illimatic, My Fave Albums

[PreCurSeD]

EXACTLY!!!

Why is the bullshit on the radio instead of the good stuff.......hmmmm

[fucmeintheinside]

Cuz da tings I seen.

[TheRealBubbleDuck]

50 cent is nothing, he has fake "beef" with other rappers to sell records, he has nothing to his name, he just raps about money, and shooting people (which he has never done...pussy) listen to nas, immortal technique, eminem, real decent rappers, educate yourself

[hitthemhard]

point. people need to educate themselves with reall music. mainstreem is just about money and such, this stuff right here is the truth but people dont whant to hear the truth they just traped by the mainstreem robots.

[mikoOWNz]

Beat sucks. Lyrically dope. My Country x Nujabes mashup sounds much better

[IProphetI]

na this beat is ill son

[messator]

lil wayne and 50 both blow dick

[ukayboi]

nas is a LYRICAL GENIUS.. why people would rather listen to the bull shit that 50 raps is beyond me.. 50 cents gettin to big for his shoes an is gona end up dead.. thinks he`s sum sort ov untouchable king.. fukin hate that

[2hafstylezk]

50cent used to be nice but afta the 1st massacre he got wak but yea somtimes u not in the mood to listen 2 nas like u some angry ass nigga for a day and u throw on some old 50cent and u can juss vibe 2 it

[otrasepatela]

yah nas s da man.but i think 50 is better than lilwayne

[PADADDEN]

@otrasepatela they both shit

[eniszornic]

@otrasepatela

I think 50 can be better then half of these rappers 50 could be one of the best he fucked it up with that candy shop shit and everything... I mean he has an INSANE flow great lyrics in some songs... Check out my gun, when it rains it pours ah there are a lot of songs he does great but....

[easye2233]

@eniszornic Nas explains the realness of life, 50 raps shit, no-one gives a shit who got shot 9 times, Che Guevara died for what he believed in, Malcolm X died for what he believed in, these men are real men and will forever be remembered, respect them not some common fuck who will be forgotton like the 50 cents he is.

[eniszornic]

@easye2233

I agree.... All i said was that 50 is dope too... Not a legend but dope....

[isinox]

@otrasepatela Spaghetti is realy good but i belive Manchester is better than Barcelona...

[JKrimez47]

@otrasepatela lil wayne is garbage

[edlullaby]

Nas is one of a kind,there aint no other one like him.LYRICAL GENIUS,stillmatic is one of the greatest albums ever made.

[tharapchild]

im listenin to STI|llmatic right as we speak player just wonderin wat the rest of u think of this classic lp

[birmingham102]

dude that album is 2 dope its cuz of rappers like

nas ive started rappin

[danjag09]

Stillmatic is my favorite Nas album. Some of Nas' best music.

[dtTWP]

uh stillmatic is good but illmatic kills it on every level

[scrappy14609]

ahhhhhhhhhhh REAL HIP HOP. MAKES MY EARS FEEL GOOD.

[01Volume]

Whata album is this from?

[FunkiestHomosapien]

Stillmatic.

[maxvdberg]

I think it's on Nas - Stillmatic (2001)

[johnnyred82]

Nas is a legend, he raps about the world, about real shit. 50 is a chump, all he raps about is beef, guns, girls and money.

[svenzia]

Nas is top 5 all time. Period.

[Bentleyballa02]

Nas' old stuff was so sick. you guys are right; 50 definitely pussied up the rap game. Nas was legendary - with 2pac and biggie.

[dperedo]

haha "Can somebody school me and tell me who jake rivera is or was" ...what idiot dont kno Che'.

i got all nas shit idk wat took me so long to get on this jam

[wesal13]

soulja boy could suk dick and choke on it cause its all bout da old skool andsoulja boy and 50 killed hip hop

[C1tooo]

For real for real, if u listen to the rap now a days and compare it to the hip-hip from back then, some it doesnt make sense. The old school rappers had it on lock. Just listen, back then they flowed on 1 topic specifically and now you got rappers flowin on one subject and switch to a topic that was totally irrelevant to the last. And soulja boy is a lil dick bitch that got lucky bcuz of that lil dance he had to his song.

[BrolicTank]

evidence proves souljah boy is fake ! he is confused he doesn't know what he is saying he is fucking stupid

[josemedina1983]

the closes or the same level as tupac. sorry to say BIG was good but tupac and nas always put real issues on songs. the best of the east and west. not some ignorant mothafuckas pac and nas the brightest and the smartest cats that ever touch the mic and their popular. some cats just stay underground for ever big respects for the smart rappers out there

[BrolicTank]

souljah boy think's hes better then nas now tell me this can souljah bitch freestyle or rap like nas? wtf is this world coming to....fuck souljah bitch fuck lil wayne fuck new school

old school^ all day everyday till my casket drops mother fuckas

[PKJTNB]

Thankyou

Someone else who sees he fucking truth.

Fuck soulja boy, he thinks nas killed hip hop LMFAO. And fuck lil wayne who thinks hes the best. He aint shit.

[cibida1]

I can't stand soulja boy, but can you please show me a quote where he said he better than Nas? I dont even think he that dumb. I believe the gimmick just said that he think Nas killed hip hop, which is absurd.

but please if u got a quote where he say he better than Nas please get it

[BrolicTank]

Soulja Boy was more candid when asked how he ranks specifically against alumni of the first Hottest MCs list, like Weezy, Ye and Jay-Z.

Right now, yes [Im hotter than them], he answered as their names were read to him one by one.

[BrolicTank]

Soulja Boy says he isn't true Hip Hop

This time around Queens, N.Y. emcee Nas is his latest target. According to Soulja Boy, Nas killed hip-hop by stating that it was dead. "He came out publicly and said, 'Hip-Hop is dead' and then after that everybody started saying 'hip-hop is dead,'" he says sitting at a table with friends.

[BrolicTank]

now wait a minute if souljah boy said that nas "KILLED" Hip-Hop then why is the TITLE of one of his songs on the album states Hip Hop is "ALIVE" ?

Soulja Boy - POW [NEW 2009] [Hip Hop Is Alive]

[millzproduction]

welcome to hip hop

[jayhova313]

Can somebody school me and tell me who jake rivera is or was
