“Here I am, competing my whole record deal.” You can hear the sense of accomplishment in his voice. Arguably the greatest MC ever.
*completing
I’m 19 and listening to nas is a way for me to escape my personal problems thank you Nasir Jones. So poetic
Nobody cares how old you are
💯✊🔥🙏
I’m 19 now 😂
damn you 21 now
Never will there be another rapper like Nas
For real the last real prophet
Sooner or later we will see who the prophet is
its benja Rakim??
80's Child Eminem same level
Anonymous Lmao Eminem isn’t poetic, soulful or have deep meaningful lyrics. Nas raps about Africa, history, black culture, the streets, fatherhood and etc... Em doesn’t rap about any of those things. 2 completely different rappers
Young boys and girls, this is called a MC!
*an
@Areg Ghazaryan An No mumble on beats sounding all retarded like these new autistic rappers.
A real MC
He is the greatest MC of all time.
Nope but his Top 5
Miguel No he is Top 1st
1.Krs one
2.Big daddy Kane
3.Tupac
4.Rakim
5.Nas
Anthony Cedeno The GOAT Nas
Yee agreed
one of the realist rappers of our time!
Possibly the Realist!
Bit very good classical piano rythm
kyle bushnell I dont know about the realist. but hes one of them.
Best alive
One of them songs that make you sit there and think about life, reminisce about the past and look toward the future. Real tune.
My exact thoughts.
I couldn't have said it better
this was the description of this song
@@Therealmoseslupai ppppp
@@uBenkiff ?
Nobody raps like this. Nas is so reflective it's like we were there with him..
Mr & Mrs Plummer AZ
Slick Rick
Masta Ace
This reply needs an award.
Probably my favorite Nas song ever. This guy is just awesome, still relevant since the early 90s. It's crazy.
lol
***** The dopest mc of all time!!
OKJOB
Kool G Rap
Ritvik Miglani what about Paul Mcartney? hes still making music with Kanye hes pretty relavent imo
Public Enemy man thats the fucking beatles, that goes without saying that they are relevant. I was just talking hip hop though.
Love how he pays homage to G Rap and how G Rap schooled him to the game.
And Tragedy too
The only other rapper in his category. Nas was always better as an overall musician, but G Rap is a heavy hitter when it comes to rapping maybe even moreso than Nas
Nas is both confidenent and humble.
I Cried At The End Hip Hop Will Never Be This RAW Agian...😔
The line "20/20 hindsight, but how did they know then" is so deep. Nas is the GOAT
After serving 8yrs 10mths, in a Federal prison .All I Can SAY"I SURVIVED THE TIMES".27,MAY,2019.
My birthday -- may 27th. Glad youre free again friend
Y'all know real freedom outside prisons don't exist either, at least at where we livin

yo...
this songs getting me through some fucked up times....
That's what great music does bro. Hope everything is good with you
i feel you trust me just never give up... we just tryna survive the times
That just touch my soul first comment I seen, that's exactly what Was music does for me it treally takes you away from all the bs momentarily hopes all well bro
Keep ya head up bro. Peace and blessings...
Keep your head high bro. Life is a bumpy road sometimes
"I was happy, just getting some answers
I ain't even know what a record advance was"
This song takes me back to a place that isn't explainable. 😫😫
the rappers today don't know nothing. This guy is the Truth.
Straight up
Goosebumps every single time this song is playing. Mr. Jones knows how to move your soul for sure.
Hassy Ghettoblasta Word! Christ i'm shaking so hard it's hard to type on the keyboard -_- Nas truly is God's Son
Amen, brotha.
Facts🙌🏾
Surviving the times In Nairobi 🇰🇪🇰🇪.
Even though that night you flipped on us you warned us if you came back and we are still on the corners we gonners. Nas, Greatest lyricist.
🔥🔥 🇰🇪🇰🇪
I grew up in Nebraska. Nas made me feel like I had a front row seat to QB and also that there is a wide world of amazing people out there. Follow your heart. Nas connects with us for a reason. GOAT.
Great comment
Same here from Umeå, northern Sweden.
@@clarkbruce_exmuslim is it nice up there? I need to visit travel up there
@@lukecimino40 Oh, really? It's a small town of 90000, in a remote part of Europe. But one part of Umeå, Ålidhem in the southeast, does remind me a bit of Queensbridge. Nothing identical, but still largely working-class and minority-populated, strictly red bricks.
@@clarkbruce_exmuslim bet I’ll come one day I am always traveling in Cmabodia right now
2024 still coming back here....
fuckin biblical
me too
The beat + Nas's flow = timeless
Chris Webber made the beat
@@OG_VERBZword just looked at that just now facts
And vlad said Nas the worst beat picker, 😂😂😂
@@OG_VERBZ He also did "Blunt Ashes"
I'd like to unequivocally state while he is still alive that Nas is the greatest MC of all time.. He is the Golden Child.. The Choosen One!
He is the best rapper still alive, my opinion.
Many generations claim their favorite artists, but Nas is truly from and for all generations. For someone that’s heading to his 50s and lived more than 3 decades of hip history, he manages to stay remarkably relevant and sharp. Truly the best MC to ever have existed, Salut to the man!
This song will always be a classic no matter what life time exist.Too bad this new murda music and extra auto toon has the industry separated from reality.I appreciate Nas for holding on to his crown.
MINISTER SLOW STROKER well said ! I know you from tommy Sotomayors chat respect!
U saw the shitshow and called it like it was. Appreciate you brother.
Nas, Pac, and Biggie will always be my top 3. Cant even order them tbh
Az and JayZ round out my Top 5
Same here bro
+Marc Regal I'm glad you mention AZ that's in my top 5 of all time & people be forgetting about my boy AZ.
Tuve la oportunidad de ver a nas en vivo aquí en chile , siempre escuché Pac y Biggie , and i said to my brother who introduced me this two guys plus nas " I like this 3 guys , Pac to me the most sensible , Biggie as we call here the one with more "flow" , and Nas ( an alive leyend to me) someone with both characteristics from each one
pac Nas biggie 2 help ya...
I thought I had heard all Nas music after like 10 months of playing his music but more just keeps coming😭 his discography is so insane.
My whole time growing up as a younging, you couldn't tell me Jay z wasn't the king of rap. But as I got older and listen to lyrical detail. Man Nas is the king hands down. So sorry it took me so long to realize.
You're forgiven.
We forgive u bro
i cant forgive you cuz jay z is still number one,nas is good but jay z is better.chek out ,im not saying this to disrespect nas but just know that im a good follower of both.
@@leolaswai2762 The man's man, a rapper's rapper G-O-D S-O-N they'll be none after I was Scarface Jay was Manolo, it hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo
@@eponymous7910 lol
who knew Chris Webber had it in him to produce flame like this...
huh
itachiovermadara Chris Webber who played in the NBA...most notably for the Sacramento Kings and University of Michigan...produced this track
that's amazinggggggg
Wasn’t that hard. AMG used the same beat for ‘Been around the world.’ That came out a few years earlier.
blunt ashes too
This Man Nasir Jones is a BLESSING to HIp Hop....
Nas is not a Rapper!!... he is a poetical genius,who dabels in Hip Hop and Rap
Thumbs up if Nas is still your favorite MC in the year 2019.
You can legit hear the sense of accomplishment in Nas’ voice when he says “here I am, completing my whole record deal!”
Who's still listening in 2020? Real heads, that's who.
For life and beyond
Big Factzzz 💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nas is the Goat Man this is a certified classic
All day.
Quality shit is forever 💯
Give this up for ... the baby, lil dirk, yachty, uzi,....NEVER.
2021
Who's still listening in 2022- November 18th? :::: Nas will still be relevant 4 forever
One of his many underrated songs!! Massive tune
NAS, the realest MC of our times...
Simon Chagweda AZ?
love this song a classic!
Naa Illmatic is a hiphop classic, this is barely a decade old, will be in another 20 years though
This is Nas best song period shame it didnt get much mainstream play
i agree its a beautiful story
All Nas songs are classics
Song is inspirational, motivational, full of positive vibes, but as I watch video, it makes me travel through my future, picture me sitting on bench with my kids and tellin' them my life story.. Nas is genius, period.
No one can take Hip Hop away from us.
Too gifted.
my favorite rapper of all-time. The epitome of overall skill!
how can you not like this . he is telling his story through his music
This is G O A T Nas and still listening to this classic in June 2023, Love from 🇹🇿
Invisible, lyrical, miracle man - the way he flows and stresses the syllables of those 4 words is pure poetry. I’d be interested to hear any MC paint a bigger picture with just 4 words
I strongly agree and feel the same
INVINCIBLE
This track will always be relevant.
Probably the smartest rapper of all time.
this randomly started playing in the car. My god the memories, how much life and the world has changed. Such a time machine, this man has so much respect and talent
This song makes me think about the future and the past at the same time.
"Tragedy, he used to come through all the time, I'm talking juice crew not what the word defined, he had a sista named Erin, for sure was fine! That was my first crush
I bought my first mic
I wrote my first verse
I was about 9"
Thanks Erin for inspiring Nas haha
2021 we will keep coming back for good music 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 Nigeria in the house. Plus, it's still Escobar season.
This song stood the test of time. The beat, the storytelling was on another level. Nas truly was one of Hip Hops greatest poets. Just trying to survive the times and long live real Hip Hop ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
And to know one of the best Power Forwards of all time made the beat is even crazier! Shouts out to C-Webb!!
This beats will never be created again,this rhymes will never be created again what else to say. Nas is unique.Nas is a true legend!!!
Been a Nas fan since “ it was written “ . Bro had a major influence in my life, a true playa .
I lack the perfect combination of words to express what I feel about this song!!!!
Hip Hop’s Greatest Poem 💯
I miss these days when the rap had good old beats.
One of the greatest MCs of all time.
the greatest emcee
Love this honest coming of age rap. True incite. People who know rap won't skip this track.
Nas is not only the best Mc ever but his longevity is 2nd to none. Starting in the early 90s and working his way thru 3decades is simply amazing. 👌 having just dropped his last album in 2020, which was very good, and going all the way back to the timeless classic, Illmatic
Did anyone know that basketball great Chris Webber produced this track?? Webber produced Blunt Ashes too💯💯💯
@chessmove759 💯💯💯🗽🗽🗽
Rap was more authentic
No one was rich yet
They repped their hood
They acknowledged the struggle
Poetry
Beautiful
Always a sample from the soulful OGS
Sigh 😌
This is the chillest beat ever
I was 9 when I first heard nas his lyrical skills are flawless 21 yrs later listening to him I'm still amazed
Will never be able to pick my favourite nas song. Far to many
Nas rhymes is like a Picasso for your mind!
Watching MC Serch set up Nas the way he did he's a good man, 💯, could have done him wrong but made sure Nas was taken care off
“I wonder could they tell? How did they know? 16 years later here I go.”
30 years later here we are. Imagine how special and rare it is to vocalize your dreams then go ahead and surpass every dream you ever set for yourself and having your day ones witness you evolve💯💯
I'm Japanese and this song is one of the most favorite songs I’ve ever listened.
Lost my girl 6 days ago... damn man. I’ll get her back one day but for now this helps me survive the times..
StevonBuckets Rest In Peace to her ☮️ 🙏🏾 😢 😭
@@fettymode7701 I think they just broke up.
Sorry man, God be with you
I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP ❤. Keep faith, she's with the good Lord now smiling down proud of you.
Love the fact that he shouts out Trag. Queensbridge..glad I lived through this era. Had Illmatic in 1998. Remember cassette taping Hot97. Can't compare it to today's scene.
I used to listen to this hit back in my childhood days,,now am sitted at Hotel Saro Maria, addis ababa, Ethiopia, listening to this masterpiece once again,,,nas is G.O.A.T
We're really surviving the times right now God helps all. Love you Nas
Why is nas getting every bar perfect. Flawless.
"I was young. I was surviving the times" this is one of the most crucial nas lines ever. It represents every one of us who's fighting the good fight. & just like one of his other songs states, "we will survive"
This is True rap or hip hop, Whatever you wanna call it. But timeless unlike the rappers nowadays. Sometimes I feel bad for the newer generations cause all their good lyrical artist just get overshadowed by crap. Just my thoughts.
oakcliffscrewhead agree💯gud brother. shame cause they have no idea wut they missed!!!!!
Avian Jackson Ain't trying to start Nothin but How Bout Them Cowboys brother. 😂😂
oakcliffscrewhead Wow u starting it Cowboys the enemy
😅😅😅😅 Give yall props tho. Should win it all this year. We be ready next year tho.
Avian Jackson haha. Just seen your pic and couldn't leave it alone.
Greatest of all time hands down
"What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels to say
I like what I see?"
Nas the best lyricist
This Track is actually showing appreciation n highlighting the struggles!! Nasir!!
I'm glad nas survived 🙌
this song soothens my struggles that hurt my soul like hell,every day is another day another struggle
I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS JOINT
I'm hear in 2019 thinking the same damn thing 🔥🔥🔥
this dude is too generous with his poetic bars. could'a saved this shit for his grand kids
GREATEST STREET POET EVA TO WALK THIS WORLD... HALF MAN HALF AMAZING THE ONE AND ONLY NASIR
Still NAS 2023 🔥🔥🔥
HE'S ON FIRE
"waiting for my moment I was destined to shine.. " I love you Nas. I got to see you live last year and it was unforgettable. you prob wont see this but thank you for being one of the greatest and most relatable artists of my time. you've helped a lot of people man.
Nas a great story teller
And he was once accused of having ghostwriters cuz his lyrics/rhymes/bars are so superior that they thought he has got ghostwriters....
Chanchal Khandelwal he was accused of having ghostwriters by a chick who used to and still is a Jay z groupie who was bitter Jay got Ethered. (If you’re talking about his untitled album)
Yeah Mr. Niz.....the dream hampton chick.
Mr Niz yea I heard that and she asked NaS for a interview and he dismissed her
Every rapper has writers google any song and look at how many names are listed under it
3 people wrote this
RIP my cousin I miss you so much
2021 and this track still blows my mind 🔥 🔥
Most versatile rapper, most lyrical rapper. The greatest MC, certified. That bar: 10 years ago we all strived to be 25... back then you were`nt promised tomorrow, guns were spitting
2021 baby! We here! Love you nas. Much respect.
Love listening to this, whether its day or night. Nas can go over any beat
2021 this song it better than many rap songs released this year
Greatest Rapper Ever!! 🗽🗽
The voice of accomplishment when he finishes the last verse, gives me a feeling you can't put in words
As im looking at these comments about MC's, top 5s and all this crap. Please if you don't think Nas is the best MC. You have to at least put him in your top 3. If you know anything about hip hop that is..
My top 3 are Eminem, Nas and Immortal Technique,
+Jaden Banks finally see someone say my dude tech he is the best in my opinion just looking at all his work and everything he does outside of rap and how smart and educated he is about the shit he talks about its not even close
Liam O'Connor Helll naww!!!
Liam O'Connor Nigga, you just said Nas is shit compared to a Big, Pac, and Wu-Tang. Fuck outta here my g.
+Jaden Banks Aesop Rock, Chali 2na, Eyedea. That's if you're forcing me to pick. Aaaaaand I forgot Dead Prez in those 3....
Nas is timeless.
In 2021 Nas is A 100 million dollar Businessman still can teach the Next generation.
this man is the best storyteller hands down
