  • Real talk

  • i got no game its just some bitches understand my story

  • Comment removed

  • Bond is my life so i live by my word , I got no game it's just some bi''''' understand my story , Don't put me in your box if your sh'' eats tapes ,I ran like a cheetah with thougts of an assasin ,Me no worry hashis keep my eyes chinese rollin to phillies together make blunts siamese ,My rhyming is a vitamine Hell without a capsule ,Writing in my book of rhymes all the words pass the margin. Proof that Nas is one of the smartest lyricists ever in all genres.

  • Yes, they probably would, I think, it's the vocals that count, it was written , more pleasure to listen to. IMO bare gun songs unlike illmatic.

  • Watch them niggas close too you, make sure they don't snitch on you. Video extras you know what I mean

  • REALTALK!! Hip hop.... Thanx nas...

  • man im only 20 years old and i can say right now that we need more street poerty deep intellectual music like this in hip hop. everybody just wanna party and talk about nonsense. we need more music with meaning like this. Nas is one of the best easily in the top five best rappers ever

  • @pooh974 true shit man true shit!

  • the production is tight on this... Personally for me imo It Was Written could have been better than Illmatic if beats were a bit better on like 3/4 songs - because for me he was at his lyrical best on this album.

  • @Barhuumi shit son, the beats didnt matter. Nas' production never matters to me because I listen to son, not his instrumentals. fuck that, i wanna hear darts kid....

  • @Luckthedon7 bruv... in hip hop instrumentals are vital... would illmatic be the same without Pete Rock / Premier / Q-Tip's beats?

  • Good ol' Bob James sample.

  • Amazing....Nas is really something special in the rap game...I know alot of people coming up who can relate to this .....the world is yours kiiiiiid

  • This is the song every niguh in the streets and beyond should listen 2. Nas gives you the game right here. PAY ATTENTION. WORD UP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Deaf bitches don't tell no lies, you should use your EYES..

    Real shit yo

  • probably the greatest hip hop song ever! at least imo. btw, how were the trackmasters and the hitmen able to make the samples sound so real. were they layering it with live instruments??? only the hitmen and the trackmasters were able to make it sound like that. hope this sound comes back!

  • @kreep2nite mee too i miss music like this so soulful

  • 4 motherfuckas who are cool with ANY AND EVERYBODY

  • i dont understand why people dislike good music. you dont even have to dislike it just leave the page..

  • @wavyystantana Calm down they can set down their opinion on songs, so can you. Your not always right. Im not saying i dont like this song. I like it in fact. Bye

  • @EIE3577 went in a little but your right

  • classic

  • Watch dem Niggas > Watch the Throne "that's why I hardly kick the braggin raps

    I zone, to each his own and this ghetto inhabitant" -Nas

  • @Vagitables

    "nas is a poet from the street corner, pullin a blunt out the dressa, wack rappers offer no pressure"

  • dat niga raw da! cet ma neg!

  • J. Cole. Cole World: The Sideline Story. September 27!!!

    COLE WORLD!!

  • nas is one of my fav rappers because i relate to him. sometimes he may say thins that ive never been thru but thats cool, he just raps about what he sees on a sample and makes classics after classic. too bad the par for rapping isnt set as high as nas has put it up for himself, if so, the whole rap game and the whole hip hop culture would be a better place

  • I remember when I bought my first Lexus. I left the dealership beating this haha Classic!

  • @GS300pusha You must be obsessed with the Dead Presidents video then

  • @RDoubt96 lmao

  • @GS300pusha This whole album makes me want to buy a LEX!!

  • It's mandatory - see that pussy, they hand it to me I got no game, it's just some bitches understand my story There ain't no drama that my niggaz never handle for me My gator brand is Maurry, walkin through rough land before me where the snakes put a smile on they face, hopin and prayin I'm stuck Scopin they lay in the cut, weighin my luck Player haters play this in cell blocks and rock stages Winkin at some females cops with cocked gauges - My Nigga Spits FIRE!!!!!

  • Watch dem Niqqas

  • Try telling someone: You know what I mean? in a way that gets them to think that you are asking them to relate with you, and you are asking them to just agree with you, you know what I mean?

    But in reality, you are asking them if they know what you mean, because you don't even know what you mean because what you just said was stupid and ridiculous but your relationship is stupid and ridiculous.

    The coyer the better.

    In a previous, I've always been Mel, I gave away my teeth fo charity

  • 1st verse = one of Nas's best verses ever

  • this is the best album EVER procuced in the history of hip hop.

  • @nicknett8 pro what?

  • @nicknett8 you think so? I don't even think it's Nas' best album. Ain't nothing like Illmatic.

  • @nicknett8 This isn't better than Illmatic.

  • Incredible lyricist with substance.. Whea'd dis go?

  • nas is just lyrically one of the best mc's to ever touch the mic

  • Classic!

  • One of the best albums ever.

  • I still bump this in the ride....every track is classic. You wont find LP like this in this day of age

  • the edited version of this song is way better

  • @RelaxednCaIm what the fuck?

  • @nyse41685

    the edited version of this song is better, it has an alternate 3rd verse.

  • i got few of nas cds i got stillmatic, it was written, nastradaumus, the one with pharoh on it , god son, all i gotta cop is illmatic i can never find the parental advisory version just the clean copy. nas is dope. he got a rugged style i like the voice. sound like he got a sore throat but its cool.

  • @RDoubt96 mimes!

  • this nigga was just a dim piece,

    just perfection!

  • Such a sick song to relax and smoke a blunt on the road with.

  • multi-syllabic rhyming at its finest. "hoping and praying im stuck, scoping they lay in the cut, weighing my luck".

  • Better than Reasonable Doubt imo

  • who ever disliked this does not know hip hop

  • this why nas is my best rapper untill he dies

  • like number 200

  • winkin' at female cops wit cocked gauges, damn son you dont anywhere near lyrical effort like that nowadays the lyrics go perfectly with the beat, what happened to music like this???

  • The beat is the shit on this song imo It Was Written and Illmatic are tie for the Nas number 1 album

  • Nas over g-funk beats works perfectly, that funky sound should have been imported to the east too!

  • oh man i love the bassline..this beat is sick.......plus nas is on it..so you know.guaranteed success.music like this is hard to make popular with the newer generations cause songs like this are like a book you have to carefully "read" the words to understand what hes saying with all the metaphors .etc...nowadays people just wanna hear a few " fly like a g6" here and "drinks at the bar" there and the song is good for them....disgusting

  • this was the nasty Nas

  • Nas at his illest to a slow, laid back temp... "It's mandatory/ see that pussy they hand it to me... I got no game it's just some bitches understand my story...WORD UP!!

  • better than anything out today...."i got no game its just that some bitches understand my story"....i miss the nineties...good rhymes...good story...not like today where they celebrate one line...

  • Damn this is a good cruisin song

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE THAT this is better than any song I've heard on the radio all year and yet when it comes to Nas it's just another slick track right lol that just goes to show you how good Nas is this is just 1 song out of his arsenal of tracks and it came out in like 96 but it's still killin any track that's getting radio play today Nas is timeless

  • @hibachi24 good comment man youre 100% right..its ridiculous..this song gives me chills....its so fucking DEEP

  • @hibachi24 most of the songs from this album are better than anything I'll ever hear on the radio. Period.

  • @hibachi24 Good point, but I disagree this song is the dankity even in terms of Him

  • @hibachi24 Good point, but I disagree this song is the dankity even in terms of Him

    p.s. "Now how can I perfect this (uhh, what)

    livin reckless, die for my necklace

    Crime infected, drivin a Lexus with a death wish..."

  • @hibachi24 it also says how much radio blows

  • i use to catch flack for liking this during the east vs west feud. I chose real hip hop

  • But more than this, illmatic is underrated people forgot about that yo and in my opinion better than Jay First record and a lot of artist in 1995 and 96. IMO Don't get caught up in your feelings.

  • this album is not underrated>>>he sold 3million

  • word dis is true hardcore hip hop

  • This is such an underrated album!

  • @YoungJordanAI3 yet it still considered as one of the best

  • @YoungJordanAI3 na i dont think this is underrated at all - even nas said its "..one of the most creative LP's ever to hit stores"

  • @YoungJordanAI3 because there were so many good albums that year 96 the pinnacle

  • does anyone know where i can get the instrumental to this song?

  • @Soulfide youtube dot com /watch?v=HbSbehQqJ9o

  • Great song

  • this song is THE TRUTH god!

    knowin wut i no

    im guessing the first an second verses was about Nas's deception with the illuminati or sumthin along those lines

  • somebody once told me this record here was better than illmatic itself, and i believe in this track so much, i almost agreed. love this shit. his whole 2nd verse is so vivid and ill, nobody can spit like that.

  • @EdNeBet805 agreed to every word

  • Nas one of the illest to ever lace em up, real talk.

  • "My Movado says 7, the God Hour, that's if you follow" deep...

  • hip hops not dead...it just went underground

  • @EHSstriker10 underground hip hop is wak.

  • @Smokegerbs21 maybe to you. you prolly like the mainstream bull thats out today

  • yo everytime i click on any classic hip hop son i hear lil waynes name on every comment ya got his dick in ya mouth shut da fuck up already and listen to the fucking music. i hate when faggots make dumb comparisons. SHUT DA FUCK UP. I HATE PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE.

  • @Smokegerbs21  your on youtube writing this now but i agree wayne's garbage he a poprapper

  • Very Under-rated Album This Was.. This, Stillmatic, & Illmatic Are My All-Time Favorite From Nasty Nasir

  • eh hem let me answer that question. b/c lil waybe us horrible.

    turk wrote for him when he was 13-19

    then gilly wrote the carter one and half of two

    currency wrote the other half

    and drake wrote the carter 3

    look how he raps now ever wonder why sometimes it hard ta tell them apart when there on the same track lol

  • Now that im listening to old hip hop. I could tell why people say "hip hop is dead" Lyricism needs to come more alive. TOO MUCH CLUB SHIT !

  • 90s was the best period nas biggie eminem pac big l bugzy

  • agree with u people i support real hiphop everyday rep Queens as well and that bboyin stuff

  • nas is the best complete rapper alive! only album jay-z made that came close to this is reasonable doubt and eminem got all that wordplay but never made a classic album even close to this ! big and 2pac the only mc's round this time that took this album out fuck what anybody think

  • My gator brand is Maurry, walkin through rough land before me

    where the snakes put a smile on they face, hopin and prayin I'm stuck

    Scopin they lay in the cut, weighin my luck

    Player haters play this in cell blocks and rock stages

    Winkin at some females cops with cocked gauges

    Really it's papers I'm addicted to, wasn't for rap then I'll be stickin you

    The mag inside the triple goose...

    hip hop NOT DEAD niggaz just dont use they brains and heart like they uste to in the the illmatic-mafioso era

  • @shawnkiltya i feel u

  • best rapper alive don't give a fuck what anyone says!

  • My Gator Brand Is Muary Walking Threw Rough Land B4 Me

    GOD DAMN! got some skillz!

  • I think its ironic how people want most rappers to step their game up intelligently speaking, but with Nas' fans they actually want him to dumb down his lyrics. The topics he talks about now are much more mature than the shit he used to talk about back in the Illmatic, IWW written days, yet peole would rather hear him spit about that. Interesting. He actually spits about important issues in his rhymes now, not this street and drugs shit.

  • @Antrizzle2009 cus he being real, he used to do that drug n guns shit so he talked about..now he doesnt so he talks about what he does now..thats how u supposed to be

  • @mrjavon91 I know that, I'm just saying that fans need to appreciate what he talks about now just as much as he did back then. I was 14 when IWW came out and I loved that album. But now that I'm 27 I love the Untitled album at this point in my life. If I had been 14 now, I probably wouldn't be feeling Untitled. It's Nas actually grew up just as many of his fans did.

  • @Antrizzle2009 Nas was rappin about the street life because he enjoyed it... he rapped about what he saw, and the dangers in street life. but also now that he's made his money, and out of the street life he raps about other issues that he sees going on now.
