Nas - The World [Produced by Kanye West]

[AJuice10A]

Damn I find myself in a similar situation right now, I don't know where this is headed.

[souleducated]

Imagine if Kanye produced a whole album for Nas...

[EimajSsof]

@souleducated It'd be the best album ever made?

[PureBoxerP4P]

@souleducated There's a mixtape called "Nasye Westobar" where NaS is mixed on a bunch of Yeezy beats. I don't like mash ups, but that was actually some really good shit. If they did a legit CD it would be sick.

[styleuponstyles1]

naw i mean he look like -me a couple shades darker

- she be callin him blacky- thats cus his real father jet black -so she treat him like its a set back -iont respect that....

Nasir Jones Hood President...

[younglovenewlove]

i love this song

[mizoozem]

when you make a girl leave a man

You never really know where she stand

How you know she really yours

Somebody could do the same to you .... damn!

[Lucky30Mr]

Nas is a true artist in the fact that he can take an emotion or situation and paint a portrait. Hip hop needs more artists like Nas that can flow regardless of the beat. But I have to admit Kanye was on point with this one.

[boibad12]

Smh at people hatin on Kanye. MBDTF is one of the best produced hip hop albums ever, on a musical level. But there's a lack of soul sampling so y'all probably wouldn't like it

[superugly75]

"see now i knew we was a mis-match."

" i'm laid bac."

"you too used to getting pimp-smacked."

[FrenchToastIsBomb]

Damit where can I get this?

[OooHesGood]

Let me name the greats, my personal top 10. Let me know what your are or what you think of mine.... Nas, Common, Any Marley, Kanye, Scarface, Guru, DPZ, Atmosphere, Mos Def, 2pac.... p.s - extra shout out to Neil Diamond! xD

[ImReallyWondering]

@OooHesGood Dope, but what about Lupe?

[OooHesGood]

@ImReallyWondering Funny because that was the only one I was thinking of adding in, and then I thought, damn a top 11 would sound weird. hahaha

[ImReallyWondering]

@OooHesGood Lol well you can take off the Marley. Theyre dope but technically is not called rapping. Its deejaying lol. Damian is my favorite though.

[mofomanx10]

Kanye is a douche, but the man can produce some serious jams. Not to mention, he's dope lyrically too.

[PTizzleAusGN]

I wish Nas would choose beats like this more. Dude is one of the greatest emcees but his beat selection is horrible at times.

[MrTerre252]

@PTizzleAusGN so damn true!!!!!!

[aAtTuUhH]

@PTizzleAusGN Thank You, I'm not the only one who thinks that

[Igotcha05]

I want a double disc nas album. One disc produced by kanye and one produced by premo. Imagine the hot beats coming out the bag and the competition it would bring. That shit would be classic. Nas tracks from working with those two always come out on some crazy fly shit.

[Mynameisunavailable0]

Wow some people whine about d!ckriding rappers, yet some of you d!ckride old school. I mean come on Kanye is a great producer, in my opinion he is on the level of Pete, Dilla, hell even Premier; you can't deny when Kanye makes a beat its f*cken legendary. Yet some of you straight out say f*ck Kanye just because he is not from the old school era SMFH. I know I'll get thumbed down since I just compared Premier to Kanye, but f*ck it.

[CCooke3]

@Mynameisunavailable0 hes not the worst producer, but lol you cant even compare preem, dilla, and pete to kanye

[yoshi1825]

@CCooke3 If you don't think Kaye is up there with the greatest as a producer, look up "In Cold Blood - Scarface" you don't rip classics like that by accident.

[realhiphopnation25]

@Mynameisunavailable0 I agree with you! Realest comment on here

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@Mynameisunavailable0 Great producer no doubt . Should have never started rapping though ....

[SHOGUNX8]

@LEGALHUSTLE00 why would you even say some bullshit like that....smh the nigga took a shot at his dream and it work. if he was no good he wouldn't be where he is today cause people wouldnt have bought his shit ..its a good thing he started rappin

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@SHOGUNX8 i never bought any of his shit lmao. Your dumb get off his dick ,yes ive heard hot lines from him. But after illegally downloading Watch the throne i was convinced Kanye is trash at rapping . Luckily Jay is still spazzing at 40 . Nas still the best tho.

[styleuponstyles1]

@Mynameisunavailable0 ---- Truth Hurts Somtimes !

[DagoRamirez88]

I disagree, I don't think he's up there with those producers, it has nothing to do with not being from the old school.

[JesseMKV3]

@Mynameisunavailable0 kanye has far surpassed Pete, Dilla, Premier, and pretty much any other producer in Hip Hop, EVER

if kanye live's long enough, he will surpass Quincy Jones

[TheHumanBallsack]

@JesseMKV3 Oh dear. Just.....oh dear.

[Mount10543]

The story nas is telling is ill, keep make music with kanye,the beat the feeling of it is crazy!!!!!!

[kanyebanton]

This is a good song.

[medinathedon]

The last part of this song should be played to every cat young or old, who havent learned the game, and think it's all about them.. lmao.. I couldnt say it to my sun any better... Whatever a chic tells you, she'll tell the next.... Whatever she does with you, she'll do with the next... Some free game for the youth..

[medinathedon]

"she treat it like a set back.. I'ont respect that"... See, alot of this generation (not a diss)

dont get to appreciate true lyricists like Nas and etc., because they're brought up on beats and bass, which drowns out what's being said. Kanye gets cvool points for recognizing that, and taking the bass outta this song, if indeed he did produce this... Note; this is the internet..

[SexiCoolWIL]

nas please stop making music with kanye. you are tooo good for that.

[kanyebanton]

@SexiCoolWIL Kanye is a great producer.. SO I have no problem with it. even though Nas is on another level.

[adreday10]

they shouldve finished this song why didnt they 

[797904]

who else scrambled to lower the volume when they heard the "THIR-THIR-THIRTY ONE DEGREEEEEEEES"?

[kiddodSTAR11]

what was the song kanye west sampled when the guy says girl u mean the world to me

[sammycash2695]

I love when kanye makes soulful beats like this

[Mizzory]

I likes



[311Ceriah]

This definitely isnt Kanye's best beat...needs some more help.

[Itachikidd]

beautiful story. i can relate

[Sileni]

Kanye needs to sit his ass down off in a corner somewhere, waiting on the Nas & Mos Def collabo. lol -- Hell, Talib and Nas combo!

[sambaprince]

sounds like roses

[DshankumMusic]

Wassup, I’m a 16 year old rapper who uses guitar as instrumentals.

I rap about 'real situations', so if you're into the real shit, then you know what to do.

-CarmaMusic

[alban4doom]

This would be such an epic Intro for any album

[dabaystars]

SEND A RESPONSE AND WE WILL PROMOTE

[ZeranZeran]

' i wish that i could have this moment for life' nicki totally took the melody out of this :P.

[Row93]

Sounds like that new beat drake and nicki minaj is usin

[koreankiss08]

@Row93 hell yeah it does..i'm with you on that one"- good ear

[blackmoon3306]

@Jamez8888 the song you described it could of been off of stillmatic, it was called rewind

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

Rappers as a term is more general ,mainstream description. Dudes used to call themselves MC's not rappers . thats a mainstream media phrase.

[Fin6as]

@LEGALHUSTLE00 so they both mean the same thing. If you consider yourself an mc, and only the media call you a rapper (as you claim), at the end of the day you're you. It doesn't make any difference. The real question is are you good as a rapper/mc? why? how?

[rshobe1]

@LEGALHUSTLE00 naw ya'll got it all wrong, A mc is more descriptive and a rapper is blunt, striaght foward. For instance 2pac is a rapper and lupe fiasco is an mc. 2pac's music was blunt, striaght forward, songs like hit'em up, and I ain't mad at cha are nice examples. For Lupe tracks like dumb it down and the coolest are some excellent examples. People get these titles based on there overall out put of hiphop music, reguardless if they do both styles.

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@rshobe1 No you have it all wrong , its more of a status, dudes start out MCing in the parks or in ciphers  ( example:Mc nas) then turn into rappers(Nas) (mainstream)once they blew up .Rappers are more about image(swag) then wordplay.

[beufster]

I just went thru a situation similar to this, I took a girl from her man and later on it happened to me... Great track, touches my soul I swear.

[Nefariouz119]

this song is raw....u should listen to sagacity can i live

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

Kanye you should have stuck to producing

[TheRosewell]

THIS IS BROWN LIQUOR MUSIC.

[whotube223]

chargersnumber1 may have all 3 major types of retardation, but hes saying "hip hop" represents the shitty mainstream rap game, he wants no part of "hip hop" if a song like this gets no love

[Chargersnumber1]

FUCK hip hop , u dumb ass blacks can have it back until this song gets fuckin air play... which will never happen

[SuperKillerMthfDude]

@Chargersnumber1 This comment confuses me

[Shottaz505]

cant fuck wid nas!

[skunkboogie]

Nas is beast!



[neoimean7]

REMEMBER WHEN NAS WAS FAMOUS?? NOW PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHA LABEL HES ON, WOW!

[SalvyThugX3]

Nas does it in every song he is the best! i don't care what others think. He is truely the best.

[Ashantiwarriorkaos]

has anyone got this instrumental

[kinstube]

LOVE THIS !!!

[VitaNegern77]

"You never really know where she stands if she left another man for you....she could do the same to you. "

[TheMontaellis8]

Nas is legendary.

[tylercolunga]

where did kanye sample that from?

[marvthundr]

@tylercolunga sounds like Gil Scott Heron not sure though.

[bxdale83]

@tylercolunga Minnie Riperton - Inside My Love

[shyshotcaller27]

I swear it feels like he's talking directly to me on this track. I've been through this before.

[1stGoodfella]

see i new we was a mismatch, I m laid back and you too used to gettin pimped smacked....

yo this shit goes hard! Nas is still # 1 on my top 10

[hollaboutit]

damn, illuminati makes hot music!

[HipHopGuardian]

@hollaboutit

shut up

[hollaboutit]

@HipHopGuardian you shut up, bitch. (pretty pointless, huh?) so suck a dick.

[HipHopGuardian]

@hollaboutit

internet thug smh...

[hollaboutit]

@HipHopGuardian yo, punk. you the bitch that started typing tough talk. fuck off.

[HipHopGuardian]

@hollaboutit

No

You went out of your way to say something that you knew was ignorant and would attract attention.......

[hollaboutit]

@HipHopGuardian funny how you're the only idiot that shit attracted.

[The10men]

Beautiful!

[kiddodSTAR11]

NAS DO STUFF LIKE THIS MAN WE MISS YOU MAN

[SuperhptPINKYx3]

Nas means the world to me ^_^

[shzntt]

Classic NaS Ishhhh.

[Greenwoodmj]

It's not to many rappers who are lyrical developed as NaS, and this is ill..

[pacoki08]

Damn if this didnt leak im about 99% sure this would be on Lost Tapes pt. 2 but dope song but this deserves to be on an album

[Xlusive]

I swear I be zoning on this song...

[EboHero]

is it just me or does the bass sound funny - it sounds like i got another youtube window open with something else playing...no

epic tune tho

[rafachafa92113]

kanye used the end to live it up by john legend which he also used to produced for this song..this song is so chill

[xoxoJOHNxoxo]

Pure dopeness, one of the best ever

[jmcombeau]

¨a girl you mean the world to me¨

fuck´d up the song

[2pacinseattle]

WHAT THE FUCK?

The chorus drowns out Nas's rapping. I can barely hear.

[Blazin50s]

@2pacinseattle

At least the hook makes you TRY to listen.

I like it, its kinda like his sub-conscious talkin.

[Jamez8888]

Yo! somebody help me out , I heard some nas track bac in spring break it goes mad hard i dont know what the name of it is tho but the beat is fresh and it sounds like its skipping or maybe rewinding bacwards or some shit. Give me a list of all songs that it could be I need this song thanks.

[Thugnificent718]

@Jamez8888 zone out off the god's son album ?

[oconstanti]

@Jamez8888

rewind from the stillmatic album

[LilMyke23]

Too ill the best rapper. If you look up Rapper in the dictionary Nas is it!

[jubie5285]

@LilMyke23 no if you look at rapper in the dictionary u'd see a bunch of bullshit. If you look up MC then you would see a picture of Nas

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@jubie5285 Actually you would see Cormega . Nas is a rapper believe it or not .

[Fin6as]

@LEGALHUSTLE00

rapper = mc

And Nas is clearly better at rapping/mcing than Mega

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@Fin6as your dumb . All these dudes today are RAPPERS ,Gucci flame WAka saka and the bitch squad ENTERTAINERS. Cormega is a beast ,true MC never sold out.

[Fin6as]

@LEGALHUSTLE00 I'm dumb? ok genius

Like I said, rappers = mcs same thing

Gucci is an mc. Just very bad mc.

I wanna know your definition of mc and rapper?

[frankovich213]

@jubie5285 Why defend the misconception that a rapper  and and MC are 2 different things? You are wrong.

It's not hard to tell you've only been listenin to hiphop for a minute.

[EazyL94]

@frankovich213 yo an mc means master of ceremonies so fuck you

[thatunit995]

its nice storytelling, but its not that good

[wisdom7789]

This is too dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Toeknee656]

I can't believe i just found this shit out today. Too fuckin' dope to be unheard.

[wisdom7789]

This shit is too dope yo!!!!!!

[dmass120693]

i agree @j20inch

[MicahHicks]

lol I remember the first time I heard this....at my public library. Read books. Get smart. 

[4Eyez226]

What do ya think hes saying in the chorus? I hear im a king your a queen....thats about it. Cant sort it out

[ShoShoFresh]

@4Eyez226 "im a king your a queen...his and her sinks, nd them diamond rings...you dont have to look back at him...just get ur bags packed nd then...a new life soon begins...like i told you when im in, im in..."

[TreyCH11]

[Munit10]

[kfcbisquitsmmgd]

[DJPhajiTV]

[junome123]

This shit aint Kanye. Its a beat you tried to make but couldnt put your name on it because you were scared of the criticism.. Stand up and put your name to it.

[MasonStormm]

[pyrouzi]

[thugspoet]

this was made for Hip Hop is Dead album......hence recorded 2005-2006

[USuckMyMuthaFucknAss]

@undergroundcity123 u dumbass.. he made this song way before he and Kelis got divorced.. dumbass

[montell82]

what are you talking about? First Kelis, wasnt living in the projects when he met her. secondly, she didn't have a kid either. its a song. i hate when people take a song and try to apply it to someones life. the track was suppose to be on Hip Hop is Dead which is when they were still together.

[boricuarican]

i heard dis joint on live mixtapes, el dorado black project

[montell82]

"but when you make a girl leave a man, you never really know where she stand/somebody could do the same to you" thats very true. Nas is on some insightful ish.

[calmplextv]

I heard this song a while ago on senatepromotions. com

[Patritz]

definitely not a kanye west beat.

[frassut]

this is DEFINTLEY a kanyeezy beat , if u dont know uve never heard any of his joints,

[Patritz]

well sorry i never heard of it before this and it is terribly mixed with the sample. obviously must have been an unused track off hip hop is dead. douche bag

[ArmedFever]

yes it is people make varieties of different beats

[Patritz]

huh?

[JHOV1125]

what mixtape iz dis on...i have ben lookn 4 dis

[musiqbeast]

Real Talk
