This is my favorite song from the album Nasir.....It is not about the turn up....the jewelry, designer clothes, women, and cars....Nas has rapped about that in the past and sometimes he still does in the present but this message was so important and deep...dude is rapping in a Dashiki and a Kufi...he is rapping about his identity as a Black Man who evolved over the years...the things he has seen...and experienced....meanwhile the video gives us a bird's eye view of a life that would be considered ordinairy...a Grandmother with a few health problems is raising two grandsons...where are the parents?!?.. Where is her husband?!?....it looks like these people are no longer living....the older one takes a surrogate parent role...there is alot of love and compassion in the household but in a few minutes, that older grandson loses his life in a foolish misunderstanding that involves his homies, a store owner, and the Police...the grandmother can sense something in the air....Tragedy has struck again!
he is THE story teller. I can always visualize his lyrical movies. doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman .. the music/lyrics are relatable to the human race.
I am telling you...this man is a true lyricist...his thoughts, demeanor, intelligence and humbleness is beyond compare....he has been ignored by mainstream way too long regarding recognition he deserves for his work....I love the fact he doesn't seem bothered by it....as long as the people receive his message, he's accomplished what he set out to do!!!! Love him....so underrated, but true hip-hop heads recognize him!!!!
MY MAN in traditional YORUBA garb.....taking it back "Home" and staying as Real, Authentic and Connected as ever. The attire TRULY made my ENTIRE weekend. I guess there's NO QUESTION as to why this man is "The BEST." What rapper you know REALER than Nas! (Yeah, that's what I thought...fist in the air)
How this only get 2.4 million when this song is deeply profound and socially relevant in our times. He is a prophet speaking to the ppl and tryin to lead us to a better life
This probably the first time I shed a tear over the idea of it all. I am a part of this lifestyle and situation and its hard to feel it when you've just lived with it but with the movie cinematics and music behind the storyline made me see me more than ever. Nas did that.
Remy Obanor I’m Nigerian. The Kaftan isn’t originally Nigerian. Yes, highly popularized by the most populous African nation, however the kaftan originate from our west African brothers, most likely Senegal and introduced by our Islamic nomadic ancestors. Africa is one. So he’s right...African attire...
For sure this wont get a nomination, no award. Only the woke people and socially conscious will appreciate the realness of this message Power to the people one more time!!!!
Dark boy, don't you cry There's too much life left in those eyes Don't you let that face go waterfall Until they learn to love you, scars and all Dark boy, don't you die They're just human, let them lie You just know your world and speak your truth Let them come to you For your love and your heart So real stuff
For you'll love, in your heart See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else This is your call, there are no wrongs See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else
Nas always manages to hit people on a real level. Most of the shit he says in songs I've never experienced in my life, but I feel what he's saying. That's some powerful shit.
Man I can't stop watching this... Nas has ALWAYS stayed true to his mission within his music.. Handsome, integrity, and intelligence.... I will ALWAYS love Nas....
Buy the album NASIR like I did and support one of greatest MCs of all time. "Hit the record store, never let me go, get my whole collection yo" Nas. Rest in peace to Sean Bell, he is in Heaven with Jesus, where I hope to be someday. God sees everything, remember that. Props to XXL magazine for the XL review, the album is amazin'.
What a video nas is the best story teller mesg goes out to all the fathers out ther who have struggles battles in their minds constantly fytn wth ourselves and nobdy can see what you are goin thru but just u So JUST BE STRONG dont give up its only a mater of time
Except for that bullshit line about vaccines, he's making it sound for parents to vaccinate their kids, which is dangerous conspiracy theory talk. I love Nas, but he needs to quite with the conspiracy theory talk.
With the death of Nipsey this song really resonated with me I really felt this song really described his life and what he stood for. I really felt he was on nas’s frequency of thought he brought me to tears every time I hear it
Thabo William when i heard this i wasn’t listening then i heard it again then i heard it so more then i saw the video then i cried cause it’s so true we really don’t understand how if you could change anything just anything it would be everything!
Marcy Me is 100 Times better. Nas fans very often believe that doin conscious rap means that an emcee is deeper than the others but they wrong. American gangster which is mafioso rap is deeper than most albums nas released in 2000s
How did I not watch this video til now!?!? People looked down on this album because of Kayne's antics. Kings Disease led me to this video. I always thought the Nasir album was great. Yeah I could tell the rush on it, but great talent is still great talent and raw greatness is still great! FR!
