NAS - One mic

[defiantwon33]

look. these are my thoughts on this song. from white boy mcgee. this is without a doubt (one of if not THE) greatest rap songs ever made. if you hear me singing this on the streets, i will not edit it....even the N-word...."fuck getting hit". this shit gives me goose bumps every time. from one wordsmith to a greater....respect, dude.

[corettac100]

one of the best song. this shit real. forget fake. this is real music

[pondultimatum]

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck that Disgrace rapper, Lil Wayne.

Nas can blows his nuts off since Nas started the first rhyme

[Jun0794]

He's never changed his style.

Be solid:He always tells us.

TOP 10 1. Tupac 2. Eminem 3. Nas 4. Dr Dre 5. NWA 6. 50 Cent 7. Notorious B.I.G 8. Snoop Dogg 9. Lil Wayne 10. I

[egtfinest]

[beanniectw]

I'll admit 50's not made some of the best marketing decisions, but technically, he's a brilliant rapper...and thats what the list is "rappers" not G's

[egtfinest]

ok i c where you coming from with that one but in my opinion 50's marketing aint nobody fucking wit him on that but jus based on lyrics an flow 50 aint where its at i can name plenty more ppl going harder than him

[beanniectw]

50's being going consistent now since Get rich or die tryin' even if he did do a song with Timberlake :O He earns extra points for his new album tho..;)

[ItzFuzz]

You cant seriously have Lil Wayne in this list

[Ranmik]

FCK U HOE! soulja boy's the shit, asshole, hes the only real G left in this biz.

[OmgCrayon]

[kingtom07]

I made a list more realistic:

1. Tupac

2. Nas

3. The Notorious B.I.G.

4. Eminem

5. Rakim

[Teesaprincess]

Ok where are the female Mc's at on these lists LOL ? Mc Lyte, Latifa, Salt N Pepper, Lil Kim, Lauren Hill, Hurricane G ( Underground but Ill as hell not many know about her) Bahamadia ... ( Very Underrated) ... I don't think I saw Jeru the Damaja on any of these lists he is another good one.

[dilated123]

#1 Hieroglyphics is dope ask god

[Teesaprincess]

I love all of Nas Albums .. But his best was Illmatic !! Classic Period. I grew up in the 80's and 90's when Hip Hop was about something lyrics were sick .. Sadly It's painful to even listen to the crap they throw down today. Hip Hop will never be as it was. I am lucky to have kept all my old albums and mix tapes. People who grew up during this time can truly appreciate Hip Hop in it's truest form.

[Bigweights9]

Real Talk

[VerradoBigcat]

BEST G.O.A.T. Greatest Rapper of all Time best lyracist EVER bar none shit like this is still classic after 8 years and will be for many more

[Jodoronnie]

Nas is an absolute Pure lyricist, period!

[AceSidVan]

Nas is n.1.

[tammylee09]

ONE OF THE BEST LYRICIST

[obey707]

after saying that shit u dont deserve to like nas lmao....

[jaraefields1]

Dude.....Soulja Boy sucks. Nas is a great rapper. probably one of the best in history. his songs are great. and YOU want HIM to do a song with SOULJA BOY. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha

damn my side hurts now. thank you for the good laugh. i needed that.

[ultramag88]

@jaraefields1 iight calm down he was obviously joking son

[KBrizle]

lol that is what u call irony

[Johnakalazyj]

@21to19

hahaha - i hope your joking!!

[da1franklucas]

@21to19........ FUK YOU

[420dimebag]

I think you're totally missing the point of everything nas does if you think a song with soulja boy would be a good idea. Maybe you would have liked a song with Grandmaster Flash and N W A

[msohio18]

this is a great song

[raptorsfan96]

Greatest Rapper Alive

[NineTailedFox67813]

damn. it's rappers like Nas that get you to remember what rap is. Rap, in its truest form, is the best type of musical expression out there. I've found that it has more emotion behind it than any other genre, and a wider variety of emotions as well. The same rapper that can make you laugh, can make your cry as well. Most rockers, or country singers, or pop artists can't claim that.

Hopefully a new wave of good rap is coming, and we can put this Souja Boy shit behind us.

[F0N0N]

Okay hold da phone let me pause the song for this didtheking5010 really just say nas is trash and soulja boy is the shit hmmmmmmmmmm okay youtube handle him becuz he needz a lesson on real hip hop

[kennboy1]

@F0N0N Don't worry about him his is a troll.

[TheKing5010]

nas is what i call..........hip pop.He is trash.soulja boy on the other hand.He just is the shit

[freedfighter96]

Wait r u calling nas shit or soulja boy cause if ur talkin about nas theres no comparison. Listent to the lyrics in songs from nas and soul ja boy and tell me what sounds better. INSTEAD of listening to the beat listen to the lyrics for once. Soulja boy is trash

[bbbg42312]

sweet heart u is wildin. nas is tru hip hop. he brings bac 2 da street, what happening in our live. soulja boy he nothin. witout nas n all those early rappers like rakim, 2pac, biggie there would be no hip hop. nas is da shitss not soulja boy

Am I the only one who thinks Immortal Technique is slightly overrated. I know he's a good lyricist but his flow's quite awkward and it makes him kinda annoying to listen to

[terrantankz]

[iamtoni08]

@lupefiasco653 Lupe Fiasco speaks the truth. Eminem's good too but i prefer Lupe.

[beastaller2]

lupee ems amazing, but lupes te best

[JV12341]

Fiasco is pretty cold but that would be a explosive battle

[beastaller2]

fuck you immortal tech is the best rapper alive fagget

[Spartan2989]

lol this is just my personal fav allright i have most if not all their albums and i like them as artist yes i have a few of the more popular ones but comeon man if u dont think Scarface was a legend u either werent aorund pre 200s or u were to busy listening to britney spears retard he did for southern rap wat nas did for east coast hip hop and yes immortal is not a legend he hasnt been around long enough...YET. but y shit onmy opinion? u got so little in ur life ugo on youtube and abuse people?

[yung1jizzle1]

with a name like "spartan2989" I kinda assumed you were a 12 year old kid listing off the most famous rappers ever....which you probably are, but hey whatever

[Spartan2989]

Im actually 20 years old and my name is such cause thats my birth date missing the month and my Football club that i played in since i was 5 to18 was called the Spartans I in know way make a claim to being connecting to the greek spartans.....and yes some of them arre the most well known i live in AUs we dont get much except the mainstream down here so the fact i Know krs or IT is rare here.... and wats with the ":fckn idiot" and u must be 12? Seriously u gotta validate urself by puttin me down?
