Happens a lot many artists are known for their more commercial songs than the rest of the masterpieces from their work that's why the radio keeps playing the same crap everyday just a shame.
DJ Premier showing that sometimes " Simplicity" can be your best friend, cause this is a very simple beat. It was Nas lyrics that complimented it. They complimented each other should I say... almost like KRIS and Scott La Rock on The Bridge Is Over, once again a very simple beat that became a classic.
The sample of course is amazing. But OH MY FUCKING GOD THE DRUMS ARE PERFECT. It's a cool 4 bar loop that matches the tempo and cadence of the sample. It's incredible
Don't disrespect talent unless you can prove otherwise. I say, let the masses do what they want- so long as they don't change this beat in any shape or form.
Grew up in a bad part of the world, bunch o' hustlers and niggas who call themselves skinny cause they buying or product that ravage him, killing him and slashing them, family's tears is what inspired to me confide and talk about the street life, sick of pulling triggers and being threatened of hard time... Done some bad shit but I'm still alive, just pray to the Lord and pray to arise, ain't wanting success but I want to be the best, mixed emotions as I roll the sess, praying for err1 - bless
Hella bent, always represent, the west coast. Got them fresh flows, bless all my stressed foes, unless they wanna step and get they flesh soaked, in their own blood, I got nothing but love, until you try walkin' on me like a rug. I'll prove to you that there is a heaven above, smoke seven dubs, to my dome.. you're alone cause you choke on the microphone. Had to spit something to this classic.
I like cats, they're cute and furry / I poked my own eye, everything went blurry / My lyrics are sick, like Forrest Gump's wife / I made a sandwich, with a rusty old knife / There's a hole in my shoe, and my socks getting wet / The afore-mentioned cat ended up with the vet. You can't battle me.
I'm a spiritual lyrical, miracle individual spiritual miracle individual Skippin' and flippin' and dippin' and skippin' and flippin' and dippin' and illest to killest the skill is the realest I'm the realest of the realest
The Blunt smoke the Weed odor got my mind older My window been exposed to drugs and street corners Shootouts and fights feel like the devil got a leech on us Is like inside my city dark energy right Among us Come from the mud I Avoided it all Not into gangs selling a drugs never see me wit thugs Feel like I’m chosen from god he leading me through his door I’m like a prophet coming straight from the lord We all rich but subconsciously We all poor
I represent from RI all the wai 2 the westside and 4 the kids wit no shoes on they feet 2 be tied was kinda hard growin up cuz i had 2 survive while these no good crooks try 2 attack my pride 2 keep myself from goin crazy is why i choose 2 get high crack took mom away neva got 2 say goodbye 20 yrs later dam look how time flew by i still wake up everydai n ask god y but things change i got my own seeds that i have 2 protect i just hope they dont have to walk around wit crack and a vest
If anyone wants to write any lyrics than go ahead and have fun with it,fuck what they haters say.Remember Nas and all the other artists started off the same way,if you want to make big then there is always that chance.You can do anything you put your mind too, the other people are just jealous is all but all they do is deny it.Always follow your heart and dreams,it may be a long road but it is worth it.I support everyone in the music industry professional or just starting out,good luck everyone!
did you say touch it?/I come here and challenged/west coast rhyme/east coast time/How many fell for it?/went to hell to ignore it/production by premo/must have been a tight budget to be sincere/my talent flushes/crushes like a clothesline/most of the time the melody isn't important/felony abortion/disfunctional/screams even though no one hears you in the forest/sellin' recorded instructions/fiends love it/believin' show some spirit on the chorus/re-tellin' story
I represent the classic, those whose lives were taken for granted. the real ones popping steal guns just to get a meal son. cause shit don't come free, holdin it down till I D.I.E . life aint eazy but its livable, call this street shit a miracle, got pulled in, im just glad I aint come out cynical. im humble, but don't get shit twisted I never mumble
There's no need to be down if your making progress and always keep your head up through all of the nonsense Life is vicious its twisted but never lose your vision, We should complete each other instead of entering competitions Look at the conditions around us the pain that surrounds us if we have loved ones in our lives we should be glad that they Found us Because this cold dark world is filled with so much hatred since being in love Is the only thing is sacred When there will always be more than one form of love we seem to slowly Forget that when that's what transformed In us Our flesh may be different but our shadows will follow us, And we must try to keep that in mind, so that darkness won't swallow us Keep the conversation real with the emotions we feel That's how I didn't need a label and how I didn't need a deal I dont care if they hurt me they can say what ever about me even say I'm not worthy But hey it's what ever right I got nothing left to say except for one last thing I pray for a better day
@anew Madrid please I need the name of the last instrumental that was in the 90s instrumental playlist. the account was deleted, I can't remember the name of that beat and I'm working on a song to that beat please help me bro
(I love hip hop and i just want to show you guys what i wrote, hope i got some feedback so i can write better). I love hip hop since Em is at the top of the world, I know im still young and new to the world, Never knew would write this shit and making it work, A new player in the game i know im new to the lore, Im not the same like these everyday shit that you wore, Or listened i dont care, my 10 percent is 100 percent of you are, Dont give a damn about fame i aint never gonna fall, Rakim and Nas, pay attention not Nicki Minaj, I kid you not, these legends influenced kids and adult like no one does cuz they be biting the dust man cant you see. Like Luffy and SHP im the best in the worst generation of the sea, cuz im aiming to be the best that i can be without that PhD or college degree, i manage to climb even with ADHD Like maybe we'll see whats after ABCD, its E F and G, i live in JC , they cant keep up now they be jealous of me, well all i can do is just gave you this D.

Probably one of the best beats
Top 10 - 15 for sure
Fosho
Top 25
Yes awesome beat 🙂
💯
Everyone always talks about N.Y. State of Mind from this album, but fuck, Represent and It Ain't Hard to Tell are absolute fire.
The whole album was fire
I like Represent most!
Happens a lot many artists are known for their more commercial songs than the rest of the masterpieces from their work that's why the radio keeps playing the same crap everyday just a shame.
my first ever nas concert, he started with this song. It was absolute fire!
the world is yours and halftime too
One of the dopest beats of all time
Facts this is art
Every beat on illmatic is one of the dopest beats oat
Agreed 🎬
People can write lyrics but it takes a true artist to rap them.
yeah its all flow n and production
Found the person with a ghostwriter
wow, thank you for destroying me for no reason
Yeah well Nas doesnt have ghost writers you bozo
None of the lyrics written in the comments could hope to ever compete with the original Nas lyrics, forreal
Mines could on some Wilding out shit
DJ Premier showing that sometimes " Simplicity" can be your best friend, cause this is a very simple beat. It was Nas lyrics that complimented it. They complimented each other should I say... almost like KRIS and Scott La Rock on The Bridge Is Over, once again a very simple beat that became a classic.
The beat sounds like a really cool black Harry Potter movie 😭
Hahahaha! That caught me off guard. Great visual.
What 😭
It's actually from the 1940 film Thief of Baghdad
Harry Potter theme is a white ripoff of Nas, come correct.
@@ProfessionalBob good ear Friend, I too have an obsession with samples.
This takes me back, all the way back...
The sample of course is amazing. But OH MY FUCKING GOD THE DRUMS ARE PERFECT. It's a cool 4 bar loop that matches the tempo and cadence of the sample. It's incredible
Because they are the best at what they do, I doubt any youtube rapper has any fraction of Nas' talent
Nas and I are the same age! This is still bangin in 2019!
Fun fact: Nas didn't like this beat.. premier pushed and pushed finally Nas said ok put the beat on the album
A lot of hits end up that way lol
The original version can be found on "beats that collected dust."
Nas wrote on this legendary beat but please don’t disrespect the talent in the comments section unless you can prove otherwise. 💯✊🏽
DJ Premier is life on soundtrack 🔊
RUclips MCs always make me laugh lmao!
Preemo!
Gang Starr 94 real shit y'all
Represent Represent
Don't disrespect this beat with your lyrics
Don't disrespect talent unless you can prove otherwise. I say, let the masses do what they want- so long as they don't change this beat in any shape or form.
BoomerRaid totally agree. Unless they make like a dope remix or something...
KarimTheDreamTeam Gaming only a bitch ass says that on an instrumental video you fucking loser
+1
but waht about my minecraft lyrics
Nas first album: 3 Promo beats, 3 Large Pro beats,1 q-tip & 1 Pete Rock plus AZ feature...
mad connections...
I just spit the hardest freestyle of my life over this beat
Your life must be short
@@jerusalem716 😭😭😭
@@jerusalem716 LMAO
Knick knack paddy whack really cool Christmas hats!
Blu Jay lyrical genius that your the best mc ever lived

Damn u really are all that
You're on the top list of rapper's Eminem is afraid to battle with
Nas is a rebel of the street corner, pullin the tec off the dresser, police got me under pressure
REPRESENT REPRESENT!!!!
This beat hits all the right notes
this sint the proper instrumental its just looped at parts where there is hardly any words
definitly spittin dope to nas beats! one love!
Thief of Baghdad is the sample
💟
Meaning?
Classic 🔥
DJ Premier is genius
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Straight up shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle
Get murdered on the humble, guns'll blast, niggas tumble
The corners is the hot spot, full of mad criminals
Who don't care, guzzling beers, we all stare
At the out-of-towners (Ay, yo, yo, who that?) They better break North
Before we get the four pounders, and take their face off
The streets is filled with undercovers, homicide chasing brothers
The D.A.'s on the roof, trying to, watch us and knock us
And killer coppers, even come through in helicopters
I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a Glock for
The fronters, wannabe ill niggas and spot runners
Thinking it can't happen til I, trap em and clap em
And leave em done, won't even run about Gods
I don't believe in none of that shit, your facts are backwards
Nas is a rebel of the street corner
Pulling a Tec out the dresser, police got me under pressure
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella
Moet drinking, marijuana smoking street dweller
Who's always on the corner, rolling up blessed
When I dress, it's never nothing less than Guess
Cold be walking with a bop and my hat turned back
Love committing sins and my friends sell crack
This nigga raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
The school drop-out, never liked the shit from day one
Cause life ain't shit but stress fake niggas and crab stunts
So I guzzle my Hennesey while pulling on mad blunts
The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator
The type of nigga who be pissing in your elevator
Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game
Used to sport Bally's and Gazelle's with black frames
Now I'm into fat chains, sex and Tecs
Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heine's and Beck's
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
No doubt; see my, stacks are fat, this is what it's about
Before the BDP conflict with MC Shan
Around the time when Shante dissed the Real Roxxane
I used to wake up every morning, see my crew on the block
Every day's a different plan that had us running from cops
If it wasn't hanging out in front of cocaine spots
We was at the candy factory, breaking the locks
Nowadays, I need the green in a flash just like the next man
Fuck a yard God, let me see a hundred grand
Could use a gun Son, but fuck being the wanted man
But if I hit rock bottom then I'ma be the Son of Sam
Then call the crew to get live too
With Swoop, Hakim, my brother Jungle, Big Bo, cooks up the blow
Mike'll chop it, Mayo, you count the profit
My shit is on the streets, this way the Jakes'll never stop it
It's your brain on drugs, to all fly bitches and thugs
'Nough respect to the projects, I'm ghost, One Love
Represent ya'll, represent!
Represent ya'll, represent!
Represent ya'll, represent!
Represent ya'll, represent!

Dopest beat of all time
Man man man, die guten alten Zeiten, da hab ich noch bei Halaschka Tee getrunken
The Blunt smoke the Weed odor got my mind older
My window been exposed to drugs and street corners
Shootouts and fights feel like the devil got a leech on us
Is like inside my city dark energy right Among us
Come from the mud I Avoided it all Not into gangs selling a drugs never see me wit thugs
Feel like I’m chosen from god he leading me through his door I’m like a prophet coming straight from the lord
We all rich but subconsciously We all poor
Hey, can I use this at the end of my videos?

Bra what song sampled this or some I can’t name it
There's no need to be down if your making progress and always keep your head up through all of the nonsense
Life is vicious its twisted but never lose your vision,
We should complete each other instead of entering competitions
Look at the conditions around us the pain that surrounds us if we have loved ones in our lives we should be glad that they
Found us
Because this cold dark world is filled with so much hatred since being in love
Is the only thing is sacred
When there will always be more than one form of love we seem to slowly
Forget that when that's what transformed In us
Our flesh may be different but our shadows will follow us,
And we must try to keep that in mind, so that darkness won't swallow us
Keep the conversation real with the emotions we feel
That's how I didn't need a label and how I didn't need a deal
I dont care if they hurt me they can say what ever about me even say I'm not worthy
But hey it's what ever right I got nothing left to say except for one last thing
I pray for a better day
The Feeling when you enter Queensbride...

Never knew would write this shit and making it work,
A new player in the game i know im new to the lore,
Im not the same like these everyday shit that you wore,
Or listened i dont care, my 10 percent is 100 percent of you are,
Dont give a damn about fame i aint never gonna fall,
Rakim and Nas, pay attention not Nicki Minaj,
I kid you not, these legends influenced kids and adult like no one does cuz they be biting the dust man cant you see.
Like Luffy and SHP im the best in the worst generation of the sea,
cuz im aiming to be the best that i can be without that PhD or college degree,
i manage to climb even with ADHD
Like maybe we'll see whats after ABCD, its E F and G, i live in JC , they cant keep up now they be jealous of me, well all i can do is just gave you this D.

not if what youre writing comes out your heart cuz you live that shit on a daily basis and it just comes naturally
