[jonnyflyspeed]

[MultiHollywoodYoutub]

@jonnyflyspeed Me too! like for real lol This song is just fuckin' amazing! Nas IS the shit!!

[M1ndOverMatter]

@jonnyflyspeed

Take It In Blood

[SamuFamu]

nas understands the duality of existence..the ups and downs..in this case (the rise and fall) and he gives a shout out to the ones comin' up after his time is over. such acceptance and modesty from this man..NaS is ranked #1 to me.

[Topknotch0789]

Nasty nas.

[ruuc23]

this nigga is gifted!!

[baldo0008]

pure classic no question bout it Nas the nicest

[shawnthemon]

in the end fuck all the drama, nasty nas will live on !

[TheEnmega]

when the hook says ''this was the rise and fall of my fast lane style'' i kinda feel raped.... its creepy

[GodSon978]

where can i download this?

[dhicks18]

i never thought this was a 'what if' song....this was his early ups and down from illmatic to it was written hence this would have been on i am if they didn't cut the double album where he commits suicide and is reborn...death of escobar

[dhicks18]

[lilochoa17]

smh, my ears are melting..

[LikkleFrizz]

i love the slick rick parts it gives u chills

[60microphonemajesty]

If there is a like it's most likely Gay Z.

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

Love this song

[MobiusX]

where can I buy this song?????

[YOYOdaMOOSE]

its weird, nas has alot of great unreleased tracks that he made the same time as i am and nastradamus his least respected albums, you gota wonder how things wound've gone if he the albums had the lost tapes songs and the others like this on them... not that i am and nastradamus weren't awesome

[DaGass1]

nasty--> nas --> escobar

[delirious44]

What a brilliant lyric he said . Top of the charts triple platinum got the fake love back LOL

[omnigear1975]

that instrumental is attractive...

[superTarikP]

@omnigear1975 That instrumental is sexy, i could listen to it by itself without the rap for hours

[xpunkxflip]

wheres the version without all the slick rick sample interruptions? ex. 1:36 he says "read about pablo escobar and got off some shit" instd of that sample coming in

can u post the complete version?

[Nastalgic99]

This is the official version of the song he is vibing with the song

[catdogsnail]

@Nastalgic99 it is not the official song. I got it and it doesnt have the slick rick sample cutting in

[coolnewyork]

@Nastalgic99 you shure this is the original, i mean you have the wrong album cover..

[Squirtdog1515]

tying to find a song, think its by Nas. It goes Oop shwaddy shwadddy, Oop she bang bang. Its got a Japanese beat to it, anyone

[mykarma7]

ahaha... na .. its oochie wally... feat qb finest

[login137]

This is a great song but it's unreleased...i have all his albums!

[Cinsere819]

This wasn't for I Am... this was made after I Am, since he's talking about that album in the song (i.e. - how he got off that Escobar shit and went triple platinum)

[Nastalgic99]

It is for I Am... He is telling the story as if It Was Written was a flop (which it wasn't), he is also predicting what might happen, You gotta listen to that second verse carefully. Its basically a what if song

[Escobar197]

tru, I think this was supposed to be the last track of the Original 2 disc I Am...

[miRasJamal]

@Nastalgic99 yeah u right. Its like nas in the present speaking on something that honestly had not happened yet. Its da MC wit prophetic flows! How can u talk the ups and downs of the industry in just a prequel to ur 3rd LP release?just shows how ahead of the times nas is...

[RelaxednCaIm]

@Nastalgic99

actually, he was telling the story of the moderate success he got off, illmatic, how he went broke afterwards and people forgot about him, and how he got back on with it was written and everybody "loved" him again, and all the ups and downs inbetween. no predicting or what ifs in this.

[reptarkingofozone5]

@Cinsere819 what you mean he got off that escobar shit?

[loc312]

nastradamus was on point.. it had project windows, you owe me, shoot em up, come get me, big girl, new world, and last words..

[herold59]

damn im mad that i am got bootlegged would've been classic

[RATH3RUNIQUE]

if only all that bootleg shit got on his 3rd lp....wouldve been another classic

[Alouroua]

Still was a classic. Just a more modest one than it would have been...

[RATH3RUNIQUE]

true, i love all nas's albums....even nostradoumas had some good shit like project windows

[songodzangel]

nas is truly the greatest, he did it all, he got loved, he got hated, but adove all he destroyed your favorite rich rapper, and that was priceless, and still today you better respect nasty nas

[diddisdiddat]

His best unreleased song in my opinion. So vivid...

[Horsle45]

were can you download this song to get it on itunes

[Darkskinnded]

This nigga is the greatest! His unreleased music is light years ahead of todays best! Damn Nas.

[jonnyflyspeed]

@Darkskinnded its further than light years cuz rap will never be this good again

[BeSsbad]
