English is my second language and i’ve just discovered Nas at 34. Cannot stop listening, it’s unparalleled and I don’t even understand most of the lyrics
deepest lines ever written ! REALITY is unbelievably unbelievable, SO unbelievable THAT RELIGION IS EASIER 2 ACCEPT AS THE TRUTH ??? U ARE THE UNIVERSE AND ATOMS FROM YOUR RIGHT AND LEFT HAND WERE FROM 2 DIFF STARS ...
Absolutely fantastic record 🎤🔥Illmatic just has to be in the top 3 rap albums 💿 this and the Chronic have to be in their for sure ? But my favourite list always changes lol
"I dont know how to start this shit"

@@freedomgoddess it ain't hard to tell

@@wasted4908 It took me a second to understand
He's so fking smooth dude, like butter
Lies - 1 he did infact know how to start it even if he didn't know it 😂
Jesus Nas’s flow is beautiful. Smooth as melted chocolate. Forget how vital to the history of real Hip Hop this tune is.
Peace and Love
Fuck flow. Immortal Technique has no flow and still kills it on the mic, because his message is what matters. His forceful delivery.
Meh. He's good but there's way better. Like jay and biggie
@@RaoulRamsaran I don't want to argue about this but I'll simply state that that is highly debatable

@@churchofsatanalbania1468 i think therefore i am type shit
Nas one of greatest lyrical hip hop artists in music history !!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thirty years and it still bangs hard af
"idk how to start this" *godly level lyrics and flow*
In my opinion Nas is the best at singing stories ever.
"Idk how to start this shit" proceeds to absolutely spit🤣🔥
Lyricism unprecedented
“I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin” yo that’s hard
I was absolutely stunned first time i hear it. This song is so much quality i cannot believe it
one of the best RAP ive ever listen
The flow is butter
Real hiphop 💎
The most underrated song ever
Everyone knows it who knows old school rap, but Illmatic is widely regarded as the greatest album of all time. I agree with that
How is this song underrated it's Nas's most popular song and Nas is the third most famous New York rapper ever.
No it’s fuckin not any millennial or age above knows this very well
@@glowinggames1561 whos first and second at least in your op
I can’t believe this song is already 30 years old
the story telling is on top
NAs is insane 😮
I still believe best rap song ever!
Absolutely fantastic record 🎤🔥Illmatic just has to be in the top 3 rap albums 💿 this and the Chronic have to be in their for sure ? But my favourite list always changes lol
greatest rapper of all time. nyc finest
In This album, the flow,the beat, the lyrics and the storytelling is a 10/10 .
Especially the flow ,as if the beat adjusted itself to nas's lyrics
When the beat drops he nailed it🐐■Nasty nas
This is the definition right here
this is a perfect example of why I'll always love East coast hip-hop more then weat coast
But west coast has Eazy e and pac
Queens in the house!
The Greatest Rapper of All Time.

This song with a scarface edit is cold
best ever
I don't know how to start this, then proceeds to spit a classic😂😂in
Shut yo ahh up
realize Premier said: "yo-now!" 0:21
Heavy shittt 4 ever
Why does it seem that he isn’t as vivid with his lyrics from old songs in his new ones today ?
Good
What are the chances of two of the greatest rap songs ever both being called New York State of Mind
I never. Sleep. Cause Sleep...your tha cousin of Death.
This Guy is one of the reasons for the creation of BTS. THE GOAT
@04:52😁 "GREATEST RAP SONG OF ALL TIME" don't think so, your wrong? MM STILL THE GOAT ...
Back when pianos were gangsta shit
i love youuu
what is MAC? im no native, thanks
A gun
Mac 11, it's a type of sub machine gun
uzi
🐐
Bro nas is just him
damnn
What if Nas wasn't from New York but from Alabama, would this shit still hit?
I definitely dont want to buy an amp from this guy😂
Why
"I don't sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death" ( my excuse )
Bro is Kendrick Lamar if he was from New York 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
@TypeBeatzzzreal shit. I don’t know what he’s been smoking.
This is what Luciano would pull up playing
Saints row 2 boys where u at
I always heard it as "bullet holes left in my peoples"
I think it might be a double entendre
same
Saints row 2...
8 mile played wtf 😂
Yoh that's dense
Uet
Hlo😅
Wait did nas just mention Jeffery Epsteins island? 3:02 - 3:08
Some of the part of New York is Island so he is referring his hood as Island where black people are trapped and force to sell coke
And people came to me do speak that jay-z os best rapper in USA what f##ck,
Disgusting track
Best ever
