[FlashmoreGash]

Excellent tune!

[stella362436100]

if i ruled the world it would be all fcked up

[schne1dz]

Don't even try to put up an arguement that lil wayne is a good rapper. Nas owns his ass

[30328kjb]

is it okay if I listen to this and im white and from the suburbs? im so sick of the bullshit on the radio, but i feel like i shouldnt be listening to this, like its something so foreign to me, but I understand everything and it makes sense to me. I can relate to some but not all. Do you think Nas would care if suburban white kids were bumpin his music? Cuz i cant get enough



[scotty4fingers]

@30328kjb i feel bad for a large amount of people living in the US, every town here in the UK is mixed, blacks whites asians, its rare to see a group of friends all the same colour its always mixed, and so many mixed race people over here, this is a good thing, you keep bumpin to what music ur feeling, music has no racial barriers

[YungBoss201]

@scotty4fingers Dat wasup...Im tryna get to the UK myself mane

[Papavidz]

Nas drops all newer artist forget lil Wayne and his shtyyy pick the world up and ima drop it on u F in head

[mztylee]

[xtremeferrarifan]

what's the song in the beginning?

[ThejkidzENT]

wow dude, in every old school rao song someone brings up wayne. just STFU! seriously stop.  Shits evolved. Nas along with others were the shit back then. Now wayne, drake, etc. are up there now let them be.

[MrWutangskater]

reall rap tells a real storie not like the faake ass shyt now iam 13 and i hate drake lil wayne and all them niggas

[MyHeartBig]

im 13 . a girl . and im proudd to say this is myy shitt rightt here ! thiss is what the fuck iss upp ! <3 drakee and lil waynee can suck a cock

[oldskoolatl96]

@MyHeartBig 14,a dude, and i fuckin agree i cant stand todays music its a shame to hear it i mean even snoop and dre are startin in it

[1mexican1000]

@MyHeartBig amen i 13 also and was raised off dis shit

[jaballin5ever]

@MyHeartBig good 2 know u recognize good music, but u shudnt b using dat type of language at 13. And Im not judging you, just sayn

[MyHeartBig]

@jaballin5ever - OK

[dil4lif]

@MyHeartBig I think I found true love!(: Lol:P

[howtogetbannedsans]

@MyHeartBig who gives a fuck about your age, just shut the fuck up and listen up. You obviously didnt get the fucking message stupid fuck

[MyHeartBig]

@howtogetbannedsans - wat the fuck are talking about bro ? yourr wack .

[IGotFree]

@MyHeartBig Lil wayne is commercial rap, but I suggest you listen to some of Drake's stuff that is NOT on the radio/tv. You'd be surprised how real he is. His lyrics are insightful and well written. He's not just what gets played on the radio and TV. He's respected by a lot of the big names in rap for a reason

[MyHeartBig]

@IGotFree - look im not saying i dont like lil wayne or drake , i do like some songs , i just dont think drake or lil wayne are as good as Nas or some other olddd school rappers -____-

[missbzmommy1]

@MyHeartBig what a shame that a 13 year old girl has such a nasty mouth.........

[MyHeartBig]

@missbzmommy1 - hahahah andd ? ...

[missbzmommy1]

@MyHeartBig like I said, it's just a shame you are so young and talk like a trucker. Real classy. Too bad your parents didn't teach you better......

[Diabolical05]

what was the name of the song of the first part of the video called?

[MemphisTrouble]

@Diabolical05 The message

[sharkk001]

nas kills jayz and 50 !

[75Jayla]

Nas is the ONLY real playa if you wanna compare him to 50, Jay Z and all those fakes...LOL...no comparison.

GO NAS!!!

[officialgp]

if i ruled the world i would make nas a king.

[makavelimakn]

One of the best songs of all time and only 750,000 views wow that is pathetic feel sorry for those that truely don't understand this music.

[MrTyeguy2010]

90s Was The Best Era Rap Now Is Commercial

[14iNSANEx]

Now you know where lil wayne's Lolipop limo-top stand came from :p

[OmgSoapRocks]

Hands Down Nas is the SEXY rapper alive!!!!

[arwen911]

lol hip hop can die look @ the rap 2day. IT SUCKS all i listen too is rap older then 2002. y u think all these rappers do dance songs & they all fail in it

[cyprusiscool]

whoever has the audacity to give this a thumbs down must be a Jay-Z fan, Nas is the GOAT!

[msuttle1222]

@cyprusiscool I love NAS but how u gonna diss Jay-Z? Seriously one of the realist rappers out? Hell Jay even has a song about how he dumbs down his lyrics sometimes for his audience? He spits pure truth and fire. Jay is as much a hip hop God as NAS. It don't get realer than tellin your audience they are sheep.

[SwaggKiddJay]

J cole is NAS apprentice Nas taught him everything

[lbc1938]

black diamonds and pearls..... :)

[GetBrunk]

nas is the shit...used to listen to him all the time

now i listen to him all the time yet again, fuck yeah

[SneakerFetish420]

the goat

[Jtownprice]

@SneakerFetish420 Aside from LL Cool J!!

[dodger40oz]

the industry is fuked up. now hip hop is commercial and in the hands of coporations. the rawness has been replaced by disneyland shit.

[ufcking7]

i love real rap, im only 16 and i appreciate good music like this. its sad to see what music america's youth is growing up on

[Goron333]

@ufcking7 if only more kids growing up were like you. the industry is a mess nowadays.

[DaJayCash]

Im Just a Chi-Town Nigga With a Nas Flow....

[g0ldenrod]

i love hip hop and i will always

[Blizzardblue32]

@bxmostwanted889 its called the message

[msuttle1222]

@Blizzardblue32 Wow!

[bxmostwanted889]

[drivintacks]

this is real even white folks can get behind this

[oldschoolrapnigaz]

you notice mobb deep is sitting next to nas on the bench, prodigy on his left and havoc on his right , peace and love to NAS and MOBB DEEP, R.I.P real hip hop

[IanHorgo]

Im 18 i was very young wen all de good rap was out, but i fuckin love dis an always wil hip hop aint dead its people jus got gayer as de years went on! like if ur still a straight ridin old skool mothafukka

[lilddonovandark]

i noticed eminem in infinte album he sounded just like nas in these days

[TheEGOegoEGON]

GD 1

[BigPoppaFury]

I was 16 when this song came out but I'm pretty sure even 16 year olds these days will appreciate this is so much better than what's coming out now. Or maybe I'm getting old and out of touch....

[dudesonman4200]

@BigPoppaFury

Im 16 and this is one of my favorite songs, surpassed only by other nas songs, and the occasional tribe called quest, de la soul, and wu tang

[lowlowrider1]

@BigPoppaFury most 16 year olds lyke that gay young money garbage now a days .

[DovelleCB]

@lowlowrider1 I'm glad that I am not the only 1 who knows that young money is gay. So is that faggot soulja boy.

[andy123933]

@BigPoppaFury  im 15 and i love this song, so real not fake money shit

[imkingdoomer]

@BigPoppaFury no yu r not im twelve n i agree..i wish i was in my teens wen all da good music waz round...no i take dat back..i wish da good music stayed round

[garrickbrim]

Hands down my favorite NAS song and album!

[cosmicurious522]

Lauryn Blowin and Nas Rappin how much better does it get?

Bow down people. Old School 4EVA!!!!!!

[scotty4fingers]

realllllllllllllllllllllllllll­ll hip hop, fuck lil wayne

[chumsyalibumsy09]

@scotty4fingers fuck em if anything man

[koolkidJavon]

@scotty4fingers im wit u bro

[raininglove94]

@scotty4fingers YESSSSSSSSS!

[BrandonBaseball10]

@scotty4fingers Fuck Lil Wayne??? FUCK YOU! this is real hip hop... so is lil wayne

[Gabe6767]

@BrandonBaseball10

lmao

[scotty4fingers]

@BrandonBaseball10 my 59 thumbs up say otherwise, lets see how many ur comment gets in 2 months, lil wayne = no lyrics, same 10 words looping over most of his tunes the music sucks

[dil4lif]

@BrandonBaseball10 your retarted look up lil wayne freestyle on tim westwood when he try's to freestyle then look up eminem.... or any rappers from the 90's thats proof right there

[BrandonBaseball10]

@dil4lif its not just about freestyle dumbass

[dil4lif]

@BrandonBaseball10 .....Im not gonna argue with you but your one of the reasons why REAL hip hop is on the verge of death.

[BrandonBaseball10]

@dil4lif i do listen to REAL hip hop... and lil wayne isnt that... i already know

[hectolavoe4555555]

Love this song i miss real hip-hop. sad to say that hip hop wont be like this. songs like this have meaning. if i ruled the world i would allow whack ass rappers in the game.

[iamJanestone]

I totally agree with you---a friend from Taiwan

[187BG]

the 24 faggots who disliked this song can go fuck their mothers real deep

[drdrdreezzybaby]

nas is a lyrical genius but lil wayne actually has a pretty decent freestyle on this

[southboy99]

The people who claim Nas sucks are the ones who can't comprehend his lyrics.  It's too advanced for them. They would rather listen to simple shit like Rick Ross, Jeezy, Nicky Minaj etc.

[jimifeldi11]

hip hop just aint the same anymore 90's was on fire with straight rugged rap ,,all this new candy coated fluff(rap)is corny

[yonjah]

If I ruled the world I'd made this video available in all countries.

so people in central america will not get the

"This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. "

but I guess all my sons doesn't include the sons of central america.

[genegaling]

CLASSIC HIP-HOP!!!! Music today can not compare to this nor music like this. Today, the music has no substance because it is all about the money you can make from creating music, or as I like to call it GARBAGE! Bring HIP-HOP back!!!!

[famron]

24 dislikes? PPL are fuckin dumb! If you dont like this song then you dont like rap or Nas inwhich case you shouldnt have been here to dislike it in the first place...KILL YOURSELF!

[wojtekczarny0607]

these classics are so true and original ..

[wiispect]

this beat still go hard, you aint fuckin with it

[bcmeighty1]

I miss that sexy ass lauryn hill swagga..

True hip hop.. 40 yrs from now, shit'll still be the shit..

[Bygodside4eternity]

Classic Song!!!!!!!!!

[AeroPatryk]

[ki2008ki]

3 words REAL HIP-HOP

[N4HACKNEY]

I bet what really happened was Freemason pricks told Hip Hop artists to fuck off then they brought in all their devil music shit in. Fucking miss Music like this.

[KRIMESOFRESH]

IF I RULED THE WORLD I FREE ALL MY THUGZ

[angel6397]

Nas is the best rapper alive RIP 2Pac, RIP Biggie they are the greatest rappers I think both of them are great I personally favor 2Pac he delievered a message in his song's that people can relate to he was truly an icon and he will be missed.

[TAZ0300]

not many songz you can hear dat u feel run threw you.....this was made at a time where music meant more than the internet..GOOD RAP MUSIC hasn't died, just the good audience....now it's all commercial,just 2 make sure your teenager has a fav song 4 the summer.??what?? happened 2 these companies??? they sell-out, and we suffer listening 2 crap in the car..i shouldn't have 2 play the old BLUPRINT,OR BIGGIE stuff 2 hear good music!!! IT'S 2010!!! WAKE UP!!!! COMPANIES!!!

[dmenace13]

[IEWestSide]

CLASSIC JAM!!!!! ITS SAD HIP HOP IS DEAD LIKE NAS SAYS SO!!!! I MISS REAL RAP FROM THE 80 'S AND 90' S. IM ONLY 24 BUT I LIKE OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP... NEW SCHOOL HIP HOP IS FAKE AND WHACK .....

[Mr707BAYAREA]

@IEWestSide Amen to that brother...... Shit we can thank people like birdman, lil wayne, nicki minaj, p diddy, rick ross, and a gang of other fake ass artists for puttin hip hop on life support......... Lol.

[Wangstu13]

@IEWestSide dont like new school hip hop? Then listen to underground hip hop, like Cunninlyngists, Cyne, Living Legends

[Wangstu13]

@IEWestSide dont like new school hip hop? Then listen to underground hip hop, like Cunninlyngists, Cyne, Living Legends

[LiLTRiLL4100]

@IEWestSide im 11 and i feel the same way

[DaXims4force]

@IEWestSide i am 12 and i like old shool 2 lol

[shamarpay]

@IEWestSide

thank you!!!! im so sick of seeing ppl listening to drake thinking its rap or hip hop.. so sad and they have no respect for the classics!

[migrantson]

@IEWestSide Hip Hop ain't dead...it lives in the hearts and lyrics of TRUE artist. It lives and dies with US!

[babygirl77518]

@IEWestSide So true!

[glokmaster]

@IEWestSide hey man. Hip Hop isnt

dead.It went underground.listen to rapper like

Immortal Technique

[TheBishop712]

@IEWestSide I know how you feel im only 13 an i love songs from back then and not the one we hear today -__-

[ThisIsCyfe]

@IEWestSide

hip hop is eternal. cant die, turn the radio off



[TheSocrato]

@IEWestSide damn straight homie

[Thycid]

@IEWestSide People always talk about how there is no good new music, but it's there. The problem is you have to look to the underground for it. Look to indie artists and dig and dig and you'll find new good music. Mainstream music is fake and whack. It's commercialized and easy to duplicate for maximum profits. Turn off the TV, turn off the radio, protect the internet at all costs. It's the last surviving source for truth and quality.

[KronikKing94]

@IEWestSide trust me bro people even younger than u like myself feel the same way

[420skates]

@IEWestSide i feel you bro im 17 and i dispies it with a fucking passion..

[Lanky009]

how come i cant find lyrics to the first 30 seconds?

[digidamidude]

@Lanky009 Its from a different song- The message

[NMaalo]

@Lanky009 this is the message i cant believe people havent told u yet

[Arianica1996]

@Lanky009 It's another song called ''The Message'' of NAS :)

[prinzeV]

this song is the best no doubt....a classic

[Traefree2020]

Every time i hear this song I feel that strong feeling to survive in a magnificent way.

[routestribealda]

hey dat would be dope if u can smoke weed in da street witout da cops telling u shit

[beautifulrape]

@routestribealda just go to holand !! amsterdam !!

[dragon09061981]

all i can say i watch zeitgeist, "say no more"

[DrewOPC]

the 24 ppl who disliked this will never rule the world

[koendi]

CitizenSnips1, don't talk, listen

[ousmanemusic]

HE IS THE KING

[CitizenSnips1]

Is nobody else embarrassed for this scum of a person?

[chox85]

@CitizenSnips1

I am seriously embarrassed for you & your depressingly sad life :-}

[CitizenSnips1]

@chox85 ha enlighten me as to why you unable

[CitizenSnips1]

It's perfectly understandable if you are unable to do it, you need to come to the realization that everything daddy said wasn't correct someday. I suggest you begin with America turning the world Democratic, our interest were so, but were not demonstrated in the best of ways.

You should go talk to a veteran, any veteran that has served over seas and tell them your close minded opinions, maybe they can put reality in perspective for you.

[CitizenSnips1]

My education from fox news, HAHA fucking hilarious, you say that as if every TRUE American believes everything they see on the news. I very rarely even watch the news, let alone Fox.

- turning the world democratic

- saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Thailand, Haiti, who didnt torture prisoners in war?

- stopped a mass murdering dictator that killed 6 million people? people that stitch together cloths for america AREN"T slaves

There you go "1/2 of those are wrong" prove it bitch

[CitizenSnips1]

Next thing you are going to tell me is that the holocaust never happened. I cant believe you just stated on your channel to me that America's dead veterans were stupid and lost...In reality, out of your self worshiping world, they had pride of a nation and had the balls to stand up to evil dictators. I thoroughly believe you are a nutless faggot who views the value of an American soldier as equal to a murderous pedophile rapist. You truly dont deserve the small brain you have.

[CitizenSnips1]

I could have wrote on my comment that anybody who dissagrees with me is a communist bastard, would that make it so? no it wouldn't dumbass, you prove that through your regular confused world-government idealogies people in the middle east have been fighting over nothing for going on 5000 years, was that Americas fault before America existed? Here is your chance, dissprove one of my points FACTUALLY and i will give you some credit.

[CitizenSnips1]

because i am offended by your comment that you hate America i am close minded? You think i didnt notice you live in the UK? You think the fucking UK would even exist if America didnt exist? You are without the most incompetent piece of shit communist i've had the displeasure of seeing utter words. You state that half of what i say is bull shit, but are unable to identify which are and which aren't, comical.

[CitizenSnips1]

in fact you should go visit the graves of the hundreds of thousands of Americans buried around the world in France, Germany, Iraq, Nam, and everywhere else just so you know they all died so that you could have been born to say, Fuck America. You need to get your head straight or join the army to have your head straightened you faggot fuck

[Evildook]

@CitizenSnips1 "And there would be no patriotic close minded fuck up of a human hating on this comment."

thank you so much for proving me right, I appreciated it. (a real response posted on my channel)

[CitizenSnips1]

if I ruled the world i would start by sending you straight to the heart of Africa where civil war is like a sport and tell them you hate America and see if that helps your chances of not having your tounge cut out,

[CitizenSnips1]

and just so you know people that stitch together cloths for america AREN"T slaves, they are paid for their work, you think if they were capable of having a job that their own country provided and which they revieved better wages for they would be working for us? the answer is no! their country is to poor and corrupted to even give a shit about unemployment rates which is currently americas top priority

[CitizenSnips1]

you think that will fix everones problems? really dumbfuck? who saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Thailand, Haiti, who didnt torture prisoners in war? In fact who stopped a mass murdering dictator that killed 6 million people?

[CitizenSnips1]

go live in Iraq, Iran and see if America is really responsible for everything, see if you dont get murdered and tortured. How can you consider yourself an american if you say that america should be removed from the globe?

[TheSmartestTaco]

@CitizenSnips1 Buddy have you ever been to Iraq? I have a few things to say about that place... 1. Its HELL it was bad before we moved in there and now its even worse. Everyday is death and destruction there. Sudam and his sons killed so many people its insane. Everyday kids gettin blown up by IEDs and suicide bombers. Then we move in.. Everyday man were blowing up houses killing ten times more civilians than insurgents, we might as well nuke the place and end the suffering.

[CitizenSnips1]

EVILDOOK

Are you fucking kidding me? who the fuck do you think you are? you honestly think that America caused everybody elses problems? you are the reason america is becoming what it is, if you hate the fact that our government takes responsibility in turning the world democratic get the fuck out of here,

[TheSmartestTaco]

@CitizenSnips1 Umm we did torture prisoners. Not only that, we killed tortured, beat, and electricuted Iraq CIVILIANS and military. Dont believe me? Well for one our government very quickly tried to cover it up. And two, heres a link detailing it. And read the whole page buddy. Its got some information you should know. Don't trust our government because it has proved time and time again it has no problem lieing to the citizens. rotten(DOT)com/library/crime/p­rison/abu-ghraib/

[canufeelitsugah]

"Betta find out b4 ur times out, what tha fuck" -Nas...

[Evildook]

If I ruled the world I would remove America from the globe and watch as the world becomes free of war, ignorance, greed, hate and lies. There would be no slaves in other countries quickly stitching cloths together to feed America's ego. Other countries would be free to do the right things in this would rather than just doing what America tells them to do. And there would be no patriotic close minded fuck up of a human hating on this comment. Love to the Americans who oppose their government!

[TheSmartestTaco]

@Evildook Yeah man... Most Americans are brain washed sheep who believe what the history books say and what our government says. Not me though. i've seen through the bullshit. I try to warn others and its like... All the sudden I'm a fuckin criminal for lettin the truth be known. Ever hear about Abu Ghraib? If you haven't, look into it. Its somthing EVERYBODY should know about... Heres a little link. Its fucking disgusting what we did in Iraq.

rotten(DOT)com/library/crime/p­rison/abu-ghraib/

[RichHelu1]

Why does music these days not even come close to songs like this? What happened? Does it all have to be about pushen, cars and azz?

[Twinkz97]
