@@Ari_Adventures Absolutely! Agreed! Mozart did, Jimi Hendrix did, Miles Davis did, Janis Joplin, and list goes on and on.. Whats that got to do with musical talent? Nothing.
her death could have also been a psyop to get out the limelight. not all celeb deaths are real!! if she was "alive" u would have never heard her sing on a Nas song. cause she never did songs with rappers!! they took her vocals & gave them to him & created a beat around it. if we ever hear amys Vault im sure we will hear them vocals on another song
Love this track came across it recently,should have heard it before. however a great lovely feeling,love hip hop beats that are funky,smoothe,raw just had it and a killer bass.. love Any,such a shame,ANY time I hear her voice on certain songs mostly all of them, my stomach sinks,cause I think gone to soon..well thank God we had the pleasure of hearing her songs and style of singing,seriously lacking in today's MUSIC.. I miss proper hip hop mainstream and the uplifting variety of artists we used to have...
This track examplifies exactly why Nas will always be unpopular with the codeine syrup era hip hop fans, this is music for the emotionally and spiritually mature people.
Nas should make more lounge rap. I don't even know if that's a thing. But the sophistication and relaxedness of this song reminds me of lounge music or some chill cafe background music. Such a great song, a career highlight for him in my opinion. Not many rappers releasing those 18 years after their first album.
And I mean, compare this song to the modern shit people are releasing these days. Neanderthal rappers as I like to call them. Future, Young Thug, Yung Lean and all other drug addicted idiots need to get away from the spotlight quick.
+swampthing94 Indeed...this is just a beautiful "old school" blend of hip-hop/soul/jazz masterpiece...no "lounge hip-hop" stupid label!...Sorry!...Gosh, In America people just have to label everything!...If people, specially there, stopped labelling music, the industry wouldn't be as lame as it is nowadays!...That being said, it's just a shame that Amy wasn't able to feature in this video in person, totally drug free and sober, with her "Frank" album prior image and body sillouette!...RIP...
+kyle your so damn right about that!!! unfortunately real strenght in texture isnt recconized as in the early days we gotta bring back the real to the front u kno these bastards put real stars in the back of the room and that just dont fit right with the kings thats keeping hiphop alive WE gotta change that all togather and not only give real rappers a booth to kick it no we need to giv um the whole stage the at sold out concerts but then only to the real noledge seekers. peace everybody ! One Love stay purple
Yeah, SHOULD HAVE won a grammy. But sadly, kids who are under 26 year olds will never know who this legend is. Today's kids, they prefer guys like Drake, Kid Ink, Ty Dolla Sign and the likes over this legend.
+mancunian4life86 the majority yes but i was born in 96 and all I listen is 90s and late 80s hiphop I'm sorry I just can't appreciate the shit we hear today

I never paid much attention to Amy Winehouse. But when she died I started listening to her and Its just been a huge tragic loss. Theres not much talent like her in the music industry she was just pure and when you combine that with the purity with Nas you get tracks like this.Nas went crazy on this, wish they made more songs together, two distinctive voices... they're good together.
Totally agree. I never paid much attention to her either but have recently started listening to her tracks (after watching the Amy documentary). She had such a soulful voice and wrote her own lyrics. Another Billy holiday. Sometimes such talent only come from troubled souls. May she R.I.P

Nas is a living legend. The only other living rapper with just as much jazz-seeming lyrical potency is Common. Amy could have walked right into the 60s and fit right in...musically she certainty didn't belong in our tasteless generation. So thankful for jamming to her in Fulham before cameras got outa hand. R.I.P Amy
Jay may be the King of NY and Drake may be the King of Rap at the moment but when Nas or Biggie were "King of NY" their music and rap as a whole was 50× better than today's music.
+Derek Powell I thought Kendrick Lamar was the king of rap at the moment. So many people are talking about him bringing rap back and all these claims. Idk
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. A beautiful soul withered by the pain, blossomed through lovely singing. One of the greatest female singers ever, there will never be another. Rest easy beautiful.
This song got me through my first heartbreak. I was devastated and at the time this was the one song that made sense. Made me realize there’s someone out there better for me. I thank Nas to no end for that.
Such a shame that music like this only gets 5 million views when bullshit new rap accumulates over 100 mil views. Smfh this generation just don't know.
Eric Iverson she coulda died shortly after recording her part but be4 it was released, that's like nate dogg and kush, he recorded some of his parts then died so they got akon to takeover and do the parts he didn't get to record
Nas is the BEST rapper alive no doubt! He still spits that deep lyrical shit! Eminem are jay z are cool but not on nas level! If you dont believe me just compare their last albums
Look up any other Nas video, he's far from a "gentleman" rapper. If you think gentleman means civil and conscious rap, I can think of many: Common, The Roots, KRS-1.
lopale505 He isn't far from being a gentleman. Look at his latest album. Listen to daughters, bye baby. For all those people you mentioned, Nas is their favorite rapper. Listen to his untitled album and more importantly know what your talking about.
09robinsona Daughters is about his daughter growing up and Bye Baby is about his divorce...? This makes him a gentlemen to you? Lyrical and conscious doesn't not mean someone is a gentleman... Nas is those rappers favorite rappers? I don't think so, except Common.
NaS is a idol and an icon to many a rapper. But, because he raps ghetto, doesn't make him NOT a gentleman. You can get the image of how nas is like ;) when you watch that interview he did at a highschool/university. Common used to straight up pimp ladies, that on the other hand isn't quite being a gentleman like he raps in The Light... just sayin'
He's not the only "gentelman" rapper out there. There are many who show their respect for wemen, like Krs-one, Immortal Technique, Kendrick and others...
They made this after amy passed and Nas talked in an interview about how they had to use pre recorded scenes and voiceovers to fill Amy's parts and when he was asked about the album he had visible pain in his voice and said how he wished she was still there so they could finish it. It breaks my heart.
Such a fantastic groove. I only heard it a week ago and I was entranced immediately. Amy Winehouse's vocals are haunting behind that smooth groove and Nas nails it with his positive rap. What I like most about this video is the way they've projected Amy on to the wall. She comes across like a legend - an untouchable, if sad, spirit presence. For some reason, while this track is amazing, when the vocals first kick in a feeling of sadness washes over me. Maybe it's the way Amy sings it, or perhaps the lyrical content of her piece which suggests she can't find her perfect man. RIP Amy. A true tragic talent.
Nas, I personally think you're the best rapper alive (even better than Eminem in some ways). I'm glad that you're still alive keeping your music real and hope someday you will win a grammy or something. Hope 2014 becomes a better year for you and us.
I will love to see Nas use his intellectual skills to condemn these so call rappers that are feeding the youth garbage...by dissecting them and reconstructing their mind lyrically. Lauryn Hill, Talib kweli need to collab with Nas Escobar lol bring those satanic puppets down to their common senses
I remember the first time i heard this song i could not stop listening to it. Her voice is just so mesmerizing, it just makes you feel something and takes you to another place. I miss her soul and her voice. She was definitely one of a kind ❤
Here in 2024
Front n center bro
I didn’t even know this was a thing
Me too 💕
Me too homie dope song

Thank you, sir, gratefullee, I sing to this here beat..
Great to see the greatest youtube rapper respecting the greatest rapper

The fact this didn’t win a Grammy after being nominated twice... breaks my heart😔
Peace1dy Grammy doesn’t have taste.
Cardi won a Grammy and not this
Those awards dont mean shit, as long as we have people who love and respect the real, music like this will always endure.
Cynthia Romero says it all really. she is dirt compared to this (not to attack)
Yeah that was str8 bullshit
Amy being projected on the wall hurts.
I know rightttt
Just thinking the Same thing
Thinking the same.
Its sad, but incredibly beautiful to have her still be a big part of the video. Rip legend

2. Nas always dresses so smooth
3. Nas probably makes a pretty good drink
True
Right lol
Nas is fine as hell lbvs. Anything he does is smooth :)

RIP AMY WINEHOUSE!
can't believe she died before she heard this track!
They recorded this track together years before her death it just wasn't released to the public until after her departure.
+Deanna Daniels no it wasn't, they recorded there parts separately. it was put it together after she died.
+Deanna Daniels my god. I often find myself tearing up when I hear this
for all we know, her vocals were tooken from a unheard track & they gave it to nas. i dont believe she recorded this with him
her death could have also been a psyop to get out the limelight. not all celeb deaths are real!! if she was "alive" u would have never heard her sing on a Nas song. cause she never did songs with rappers!! they took her vocals & gave them to him & created a beat around it. if we ever hear amys Vault im sure we will hear them vocals on another song
Always felt that if Biggie, 2pac etc were alive, this is how they would have sounded like in this generation. Just mature, and living the good life.
damn straight bro
i like bow he mentioned biggie on this song and on others too on the album they prob wouldve been great friends today
Dad Rap

no way pac would be mature. Lol
Amy Winehouse wrote the song Me and Mr Jones about Nas. They had a bond most don't know about but for me no surprise. Truly two Artist.
What's even crazier is that they share the same Birthday. Nas is 10 years older.
@@TheRockstarjoe13 Dayum.
And her first single in my bed sampled his beat of one of his classics
She didn’t know Nas then. She was a fan and they share the same birthday
She also wrote this hook about him which Nas didn't find out about until after the song was finished.
so sad tht she died after only doing her vocals ... she never got to hear the final version of this beautiful song....
Damn shame. I could see her as the bar singer in this video. Damn shame.

Just how it should be!

And You Owe Me lol.

This track examplifies exactly why Nas will always be unpopular with the codeine syrup era hip hop fans, this is music for the emotionally and spiritually mature people.
Nas is unpopular?
@@BrittAnarVlogs with “codeine syrup era hip hop fans”
ok boomer
Kool words pal
Codeine syrup era started a lot longer ago that you think it did. Only came a few years after Nas in all truth
Whenever Amy says "Where is he?" I always mourn and ask, "what about you Amy?"
Respect to these legends.
Her voice was gold
Nas is beyond an artist, but a genuine friend. Posthumously designing an entire aesthetic around Amy to remember her spirit.
thats why he is the GOAT

Who not after material wealth, but get dough still
Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette
Who can be from out the hood or even work for the president
As long as there's no selfishness
Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident
You can be easily recruited, you're heaven sent
Your smile put me at ease
You're the woman I need, but where is she
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
I hate when people write me hostile texts
On account of my lifestyle's perception
Invade my personal life? Out of the question, what are they expecting
I be trying to reply and they never suppose I get my quiet time in
They think forever I'm rolling in dough, swimming in a pool of cash
God, wouldn't they know, or am I a fool or ass
I'm well known, got people coming at me mad
I had to tell homes, I don't keep a cell phone, my bad
I drag off the L and try to silence it
The noise in my head, the curse of the talented
Strong communicator, vagabond, I gallivant around the equator
And that would get me off the radar
It's so intense, I'm on my Lilo and Stitch
Pour my Pino Grigio and Cris with some lime what is this?
An immaculate version of Me and My Bitch by Biggie
With all respect cause you the only one that gets me
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yeah, yeah, let's pour some cherry wine
Everything's good, everything's fine
Yeah, yeah we bring it every time
Yeah, pour a little cherry wine
Yeah, ayo Salaam, yeah, I think they know the time
Everything's good, everything's fine
Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah
Life is good, life is good, yeah
Life is good, no matter what
Life is good, life is good
Life is good, yeah
Life is good
No matter what
Life is good
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
Where is he?
The man who was just like me
Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Amazing... Thank you!!!!💚
Love the lyrics.
I love the lyrics. Amazing! Thanks for sharing. ✌🏾
Nas is a living legend. The only other living rapper with just as much jazz-seeming lyrical potency is Common. Amy could have walked right into the 60s and fit right in...musically she certainty didn't belong in our tasteless generation. So thankful for jamming to her in Fulham before cameras got outa hand. R.I.P Amy
mos def??
Too true.
there are a lot of living legends. just non that get the recognition they deserve.
well said, well said.
what about Kendrick?
Nas > JayZ
Who puts Jay Z before Nas?
Parker Kelley You would be surprised at what I've heard ppl say about JayZ
It's cuz jay is the king of nyc now. It went biggie, nas, now jay
Jay may be the King of NY and Drake may be the King of Rap at the moment but when Nas or Biggie were "King of NY" their music and rap as a whole was 50× better than today's music.
+Derek Powell I thought Kendrick Lamar was the king of rap at the moment. So many people are talking about him bringing rap back and all these claims. Idk
Such a dope song, really loved the album. R.I.P Amy also here in 2024
Beautiful tune man, Happy Birthday Amy & Nas.
Beautiful
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. A beautiful soul withered by the pain, blossomed through lovely singing. One of the greatest female singers ever, there will never be another. Rest easy beautiful.
Word is Bond 🌟
Amy being projected on the wall hurts so much...
My boy Nas finally pulled in that Grammy! Kings disease 2021! Long overdue.
He better than kendrick lamar and meek mill
***** yeah
No fucking shit...
lVlaKaVeLi ok I didnt ask 4 know smart comment
Nas forever.
btw isn't he better than 2pac also ? xD
It's 2017 and I still miss Amy... :(...
AnDuKn0Thi5MaN everyday
Me too ) :
AnDuKn0Thi5MaN ill miss her till the end of times.
AnDuKn0Thi5MaN I Second That!!!!!
2018 and forever
The real gritty rapping of nas and Amy's raw smooth singing amazing
This song got me through my first heartbreak. I was devastated and at the time this was the one song that made sense. Made me realize there’s someone out there better for me. I thank Nas to no end for that.
For reals
Such a shame that music like this only gets 5 million views when bullshit new rap accumulates over 100 mil views. Smfh this generation just don't know.
Well said Drez ppl rather hear a good beat instead of great music.
Skam fucked me up :(
May Cardoso :( feels u
Same here, had to check this song
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse....you died just shortly after this song was made.
Shawn Johnson she died before this song was made, actually she only heard her part.
Erzsébet Bathory oh, i didn't know that, thanks...she was great on this track...i loved this track.
Shawn Johnson no she died before the song
how she die before the song was made? u sound dumb
Eric Iverson she coulda died shortly after recording her part but be4 it was released, that's like nate dogg and kush, he recorded some of his parts then died so they got akon to takeover and do the parts he didn't get to record
Amy Winehouse Would Have Been 40 Years Old If She was Still Alive
Nas is the BEST rapper alive no doubt! He still spits that deep lyrical shit! Eminem are jay z are cool but not on nas level! If you dont believe me just compare their last albums
Heard of Kendrick?:-)
Heard of Tupac? :)
DeTrue1 she specifically said "best rapper ALIVE"..
đef Rozman dawg thats like saying heard of Justin Biber :/
But you gotta admit that old em (Slim Shady) was beter
Nas is one of the greatest. Real hip hop Love it
Igot distracted by your picture, damn you are fine
Nas Is the greatest ever
No doubt, Real Hip Hop will always be alive as long as this man sings.
Thank you Nas you the best rapper ever
Came here after seeing Nas's tribute to Amy in instagram. She was really talented.
SAME
Me too. I love this song
Nas done that good shit and he doesn’t forget about anyone. Lol he literally has a song on hip hop is dead called “can’t forget about you”
I heard Amy wrote this shit for Nas. Legends.
You heard wrong. Nas has never had his lyrics written for him. Are you kidding me? NAS?
+daury2006 umm I think he means she wrote her song for Nas before she passed...he wrote his lyrics later...chill
Dana Marie Exactly. and +Daury2006 Check the video of his interview if you want.
Yeah she did. I think they were supposed to work on some sort of project together like an album. These two were so dope together.
you wish....
Nas is the only 'gentleman' rapper out there
Look up any other Nas video, he's far from a "gentleman" rapper. If you think gentleman means civil and conscious rap, I can think of many: Common, The Roots, KRS-1.
lopale505
He isn't far from being a gentleman. Look at his latest album. Listen to daughters, bye baby. For all those people you mentioned, Nas is their favorite rapper. Listen to his untitled album and more importantly know what your talking about.
09robinsona
Daughters is about his daughter growing up and Bye Baby is about his divorce...? This makes him a gentlemen to you? Lyrical and conscious doesn't not mean someone is a gentleman...
Nas is those rappers favorite rappers? I don't think so, except Common.
NaS is a idol and an icon to many a rapper.
But, because he raps ghetto, doesn't make him NOT a gentleman.
You can get the image of how nas is like ;) when you watch that interview he did at a highschool/university.
Common used to straight up pimp ladies, that on the other hand isn't quite being a gentleman like he raps in The Light...
just sayin'
He's not the only "gentelman" rapper out there. There are many who show their respect for wemen, like Krs-one, Immortal Technique, Kendrick and others...
Happy birthday Nas and Amy!
They made this after amy passed and Nas talked in an interview about how they had to use pre recorded scenes and voiceovers to fill Amy's parts and when he was asked about the album he had visible pain in his voice and said how he wished she was still there so they could finish it. It breaks my heart.
Such a fantastic groove. I only heard it a week ago and I was entranced immediately. Amy Winehouse's vocals are haunting behind that smooth groove and Nas nails it with his positive rap. What I like most about this video is the way they've projected Amy on to the wall. She comes across like a legend - an untouchable, if sad, spirit presence. For some reason, while this track is amazing, when the vocals first kick in a feeling of sadness washes over me. Maybe it's the way Amy sings it, or perhaps the lyrical content of her piece which suggests she can't find her perfect man. RIP Amy. A true tragic talent.
I thought the same thing. The music has air of happiness and sadness...
Amy wrote this song for Nas before she died so you can feel the connection between the 2 of them on this track.
I agree. She was a rarity she sung with soul and it was the way she sung this. You can feel a bit of sadness INSTANTLY
Why do people think that Nas is underrated, it's well known that Nas is one of the greatest rappers to ever do it, he's definitely in my top 3.
lyrically he is the best him and biggie and ice cube
He's underrated because people be listening to drake and all those other bad rappers but not nas
+dj Dope Jay , Big and Nas are always in my top 3 regardless. Lyrically I could argue Jay, Nas or Big are the best
Haks Hustle the only underrated rapper I can name is common
He's been known since the 90's for his album illmatic
two legends in one video
Truth! RIP Amy, we miss you dearly. Gone but never forgotten.
They shared the same birthday 😢
Skam is killing me sweetly
Happy birthday to the last great jazz singer (RIP) and to the greatest rapper of all time.
Happy Birthday to the King and Queen... Respect...
This is a slept on classic. RIP Amy Winehouse 🙏🏿
One of life’s greatest tragedies will always be the masterpieces Amy never had a chance to write
Jessica Hubbard appreciate what she left
These 2 would have made a dope collabo album
@@JahovazWhitenessDefinitely. Could have been on par with the Damian Marley Collab album
Still one of the best songs over unnoticed . This needs more exposure.
Damn this is so good...
Arguably the greatest singer of all time and greatest rapper of all time on a song together? Needs more love
Nas, I personally think you're the best rapper alive (even better than Eminem in some ways). I'm glad that you're still alive keeping your music real and hope someday you will win a grammy or something. Hope 2014 becomes a better year for you and us.
I've never been a fan of Eminem. But I agree with you that Nas is the best rapper alive.
fredmagic09 I also agree.
I will love to see Nas use his intellectual skills to condemn these so call rappers that are feeding the youth garbage...by dissecting them and reconstructing their mind lyrically. Lauryn Hill, Talib kweli need to collab with Nas Escobar lol bring those satanic puppets down to their common senses
popeyevisions you need to chill bruh
Ericsson Johnsonson Get up and stop crying bruh
Thank you Nas
Word, A simple Thank You to the G.O.A.T.
nas & amy dope!!!
The blend of jazz vocals with a splash of R&B with Hip Hop, magical. Gwan Amy
GROWN MAN HIP HOP/ MUSIC
I remember the first time i heard this song i could not stop listening to it. Her voice is just so mesmerizing, it just makes you feel something and takes you to another place. I miss her soul and her voice. She was definitely one of a kind ❤
Factssss
Skam squad attacks again
Fun fact she been on nas music her whole life and spoke highly of him and sung on his god son sample
I really feel bad for Nas.
I mean whenever he met someone he liked they ended up dead. ex: 2pac, Amy Winehouse
2020 still be counting, pure classic with Amy and legendary Nas
Rip Amy whine house
maci randall Winehouse
Dee Dee It's on purpose dude
My guy finally got his Grammy took long enough.🙏🏿
"The noise in my head, the curse of the talented..."
Farayi Darlington Chaparadza powerful line, had to come to this song because i woke up to this in my mind
Yes!!!
👍👍
