This instrumental in particular just feels so magical, I can't explain it but it makes me feel hopeful, peaceful, quiet, even nostalgic. And the solo at the end (Nas' father) is just beautiful
@@lionelthibaut9522 Yeah it is, classic beats are almost always made from samples. Sugar Hill Gang is the best example, sampling "Good Times" from Le Chic.
crosbonit Now THAT is awesome. And well, even though it's a sample, Hip hop's been doing that for decades. Nas and crew made it their own on their mix, I must say.
This was the probably the most quintessential beat in 90's hip hop. What have they done to the genre now? Man, I'm just shake my head as I listen to this masterpiece. Why did it have to end this way? Why?
Visualizin the realism of life and actuality Fcuk who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary And my mentality is money orientated I'm destined to live the dream for all the peeps who made it...ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!!
Illmatic - one of those truly special albums which changed my life. The cinematic quality of each track and moving narratives told through Nas's exceptional word play still leaves me mesmerised to this day.
As I backtrack, recount all the things that I have regretted But Instead of appealing my confessions, I'll enjoy my blessings Living the extraordinary day n' night, writing my rhymes Emphasizing every word within each line Breathing for 20 years was more than a chore Now it's time for me to start finding the keys for my door 'Til it's the right time for me to rest in a coffin Keep my eyes to the prize with no distracting often Develop profits, only God could predict my outcome Prepare my future today through the message of Malcolm 'Cuz I lost a toddler's innocence, God refreshed my flesh Now it's all mysterious of what I'll do next Reached the age of rebirth, life'll cut short, more the pains hurt But learn to break the barricades of life's worth I'm hungry for more than writing paragraphs Instead, I see my skin shedding to grains like an hourglass Now I'm amped up, finally I stand up Edison light a bulb in my skull to lift my chance up Now it's time to shine, let my ideas click Got critics chasing me around the city like a zombie flick
i travlled light years through time and space, and the lost demensions in search of this instrumental, and when i listen to the ending trumpet solo, i begin to see visions of lost prophets roaming the earth, following their third eye, in an endless search for the perfect beat....................................god damm............

Yearning for a better life with less in stressing, seeing living life is just a blessing, but having life to give is a better blessed life in lesson, learning is never something that needs an ending, belief in a higher cause will give you cause to edit rendering, I said it better when I never let it fester, seeing my criteria grow, as all these others measure success from their bacteria growth, and froth at the mouth pit, seeing drought from the well of the mountains, saying money is all like the oxygen, while I keep searching for more meaning than the scent of intoxicants,
Just tryna' get a grasp on, the path that we have gone/ Human rights, yet we sue for fights and that don't count as wrong/ And for every other race that's pursuing the dream/ Face glued to the screen, Stayin' true to the scheme/ The government does, Take away a hunters guns/ Tons of bloods, being shed for the ones we love/ People fed up with all of the excuses/ Ordinary nuisances, unfortunately we're used to/ The damage that is cursing, every average person/ Knowing that police don't counts as that is hurtin'/ I doubt that my peoples could tunnel outta this dirt and/ Because money is really just 6 inch of paper/ Somehow that got us addicted to labour/ Too bad that medial attention are our views/ Ears to the radio our opinions are abused/ The shit that begins on the news, is what society believes/ Liars and thieves on your 9 TV's, uploading viral schemes/ On your computers and in time will achieve/ Technology is the demon that lies in your seems...
@DUTCHMASTER67 Have you heard Elmatic? Elzhi from Slum Village did an entire re-creation of Illmatic with the help of this band called Will Sessions. At the end of this song they go straight into Yearning For Your Love as if it belonged there to begin with lol.
yo i spit slang vocabulary sticks in my brain. my inner membrane has an issue with a the nerve tissue theres no room in my mind so i begin the stopwatch and counteract time. stop the violence put down that nine. but the tough talks begun and i shut up cause i aint the one with the gun. just for fun people disrespecting my idols biggie nas and pac. they get my jaw to drop. i guess i saw a lot for the drop top and hop to the beat that bounces up the block

![Nas - One Love (Instrumental) [Track 7]](/img/tr.png)
This instrumental in particular just feels so magical, I can't explain it but it makes me feel hopeful, peaceful, quiet, even nostalgic. And the solo at the end (Nas' father) is just beautiful
If you like this you’ll love Heavy D - keep it coming
Yes, I wish they had a version of Olu playing by himself
I agree this instrumental is magic we’re not crazy hin
Probably one of the most distinctive 80's/90's rap transition era instrumentals
+805Goodland For real, it was beats like these that defined a decade...I dunno, it's like you're in a trance listening to it lol..
mrm64 I think it was sampled from a heavy d song
@@mrm64 I think he made a sample of the instrumental version of this tune : the Gap Band , Yearning for your love
@@lionelthibaut9522 Yeah it is, classic beats are almost always made from samples. Sugar Hill Gang is the best example, sampling "Good Times" from Le Chic.
@@lionelthibaut9522 that’s what is was! Thank you 😂
That trumpet solo by nas's father just really gets to me...In a good way
YAAAASSSS
They should have him all over this version.
Was it really his father tho
Hell yeah
Exact reason I came here.
who else knows the whole az verse off the top
+jdotman09 same
Who else knows illmatic off the top
The whole illmatic exept one time 4 your time and halftime
+Anthony Konstantinou those are gr8
jdotman09 straight up the first rap I learned
There is nothin' like 90's beats man...from any genre....hate to bank on Nostalgia but dang...
+mrm64 In the interest of accuracy, this beat, a sample from Gap Band's "Yearning for Your Love", was created in 1979. The album was released in 1980.
crosbonit Now THAT is awesome. And well, even though it's a sample, Hip hop's been doing that for decades. Nas and crew made it their own on their mix, I must say.
mrm64 word.
mrm64 ikr
Nah I’m from the early 2000s and i can agree this is dope stuff
One of the most beautiful hip hop instrumental I ever heard in my life.....
That solo is the sound of the struggle
Its Nas' Dad playing it too....
“Keeping this effervescent street ghetto essence inside us.”
My favorite line in HipHop
Balance and Composure then you should know that it's 'Schwepervescent'
@@ethybubs whats the meaning of that word ?
Çağın Akgür Schweppes is a soda brand, it's from an advert they had in the 90s. It's just an effervescent pun.
This was the probably the most quintessential beat in 90's hip hop. What have they done to the genre now? Man, I'm just shake my head as I listen to this masterpiece. Why did it have to end this way? Why?
The sample is "Yearning for your Love" performed by "The Gap Band".
K thx man
Nas, Az and his dad need to make a whole album.
love the trumpet playing at the end by Nas' dad. Classic!
Visualizin the realism of life and actuality Fcuk who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary And my mentality is money orientated I'm destined to live the dream for all the peeps who made it...ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!!
Wack
Love that bass line
Golden era of hip hop.
2:42 - 3:30 my favorite part 🔥
Greatest beat ever.....it catches the feeling.
This beat was made for AZ!
Swear to god az had such a better verse than nas. One of the most underrated rappers ever.
TMP How is AZ a wannabe
Aaron9 imo it was better than NAS but it is still to this day considered to be one of the best in hip hop
One of the best instrumentals ever. Period.
Beat for heart part 5 is better..
Beautiful instrumental
Trumpet solo at the end always hits me man.. 🤔🙇♂️💭
That's nas' father playing that too
Illmatic - one of those truly special albums which changed my life. The cinematic quality of each track and moving narratives told through Nas's exceptional word play still leaves me mesmerised to this day.
"Keeping it real packing steel getting high cause life's a bitch and then you die"🔥 🔥 🔥
As I backtrack, recount all the things that I have regretted
But Instead of appealing my confessions, I'll enjoy my blessings
Living the extraordinary day n' night, writing my rhymes
Emphasizing every word within each line
Breathing for 20 years was more than a chore
Now it's time for me to start finding the keys for my door
'Til it's the right time for me to rest in a coffin
Keep my eyes to the prize with no distracting often
Develop profits, only God could predict my outcome
Prepare my future today through the message of Malcolm
'Cuz I lost a toddler's innocence, God refreshed my flesh
Now it's all mysterious of what I'll do next
Reached the age of rebirth, life'll cut short, more the pains hurt
But learn to break the barricades of life's worth
I'm hungry for more than writing paragraphs
Instead, I see my skin shedding to grains like an hourglass
Now I'm amped up, finally I stand up
Edison light a bulb in my skull to lift my chance up
Now it's time to shine, let my ideas click
Got critics chasing me around the city like a zombie flick
This has to be one of the best written verses I've seen in a comment section.
4 Real
This hard
🤢 🤮 keep your bum ass lyrics!
This is beautifully written man, proud to have read this
Politikz with a z, is that you?
Does that solo at the end make anyone else sad
+Wesley Jones It is Nas' father playing that (Olu Dara). When he made that, he was trying to describe Nas without words.
+Jimmy karagianis Actually he was trying to describe Nas' childhood.
+Michael Ben Really? My bad
Jimmy karagianis All good my man
There's this movie called Fish Tank that uses this song towards the ending and the credits. Kinda depressing, but a great film and use of this track
Visualizing the realism of life in actuality
My favourite track off illmatic! The beat is so deep and kinda soulful too!
i travlled light years through time and space, and the lost demensions in search of this instrumental, and when i listen to the ending trumpet solo, i begin to see visions of lost prophets roaming the earth, following their third eye, in an endless search for the perfect beat....................................god damm............
Great music melody life is great 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This beat is artful.
Amazing beat 🔥
[Intro: AZ and Nas]
Ayo, what's up, what's up?
Let's keep it real, son, count this money
You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, yeah
Ayo, put the Grants over there in the safe
You know what I'm sayin'?
‘Cause we spendin' these Jacksons
The Washingtons go to wifey, you know how that go
I'm sayin' that's what this is all about, right?
Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, then what, man, what?!
[Verse 1: AZ]
Visualizin' the realism of life in actuality
Fuck who's the baddest, a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is money-orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
‘Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as Five Percenters
But somethin' must've got in us, ‘cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some restin' in peace and some are sittin' in San Quentin
Others, such as myself, are tryin' to carry on tradition
Keepin' this Schweppervescent street ghetto essence inside us
'Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though we know, somehow we all gotta go
But as long as we leavin' thievin'
We'll be leavin' with some kind of dough
So, until that day we expire and turn to vapors
Me and my capers will be somewhere stackin' plenty papers
Keepin' it real, packin' steel, gettin' high
‘Cause life's a bitch and then you die
[Chorus: AZ]
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lye
[Verse 2: Nas]
I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessin'
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
My physical frame is celebrated ‘cause I made it
One quarter through life, some godly-like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual, plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from
My skull, ‘cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain
Don't go against the grain, simple and plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbin' foreigners, take they wallets, they jewels and rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects, flashin' my quick cash
And got my first piece of ass, smokin' blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
Niggas I used to run with is rich or doin' years in the hundreds
I switched my motto; instead of sayin', "Fuck tomorrow!"
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is illmatic, keep static like wool fabric
Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage
[Chorus: AZ]
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
way to put the effort in to honor such a gifted artist... props bro, mad props!
It provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Respect to The Gap Band!
the trumpet at the is played by nas's own father olu XD
Olu Dara!
i doubt any mainstream rapper today could match az's flow or nas' thoughtfulness in their verses on this song, just my opinion
man I remember hearing a a nice remix with the Pharcyde"running" to this classic instrumental on the radio once one of the best remixes I have ever heard
thats my favourite remix ever, Dilla just murderd that beat
Az verse inspired me so much, just classic...
AZ outshined Nas on this joint , big mistake.
“I switched my motto, instead of saying fuck tomorrow that buck that bought a bottle could’ve struck the lotto.”
Timeless classic. Greatest debut hip hop album ever.
Absolutely love it
I miss all the friends that I had
Cause life ain't been the same
And that shit make me mad
Because haven't felt something as genuine as that
Now struggling with my life
Because I want it back
Being all alone really fucks with your head
It doesn't change the time
But your perspective instead
You want a different life
But you're so hesitant
To do anything about it
But in lay in your bed
This beat mad dope
This is perfection
Yearning for Your Love was also sampled for Sacramento Summertime
Visualizin' the realism of life in actuality

BEAUTIFULL, Thank you Christ and his Father in Heaven ❤️
when I first heard this beat it got me open I was blown away originally done by the gap band
im mad af but dont know why.. i could cry so i smoke so the time can fly, emotions so fucked & my eyes stay dry, bundled heart so closed & it cant be pride. everytime i take a stride me, myself, & i get pushed back till the walls in my soul shows dents, no1 ever listens but i still try to vent, about the right paths that i keep so bent. hope this message that ...i preach can be sent, cus kenya needs a hearth that can truely be lent. no matter how much time that i always spend. i always get dropped like a rappers trend again and then i start to relapse till my knees colapse, i need to relax into love the deadly trap.. everytime i take the dive i swear my heart evaps, who gone bring it back, tell me now lika wedding vow need it in my life lika dairy in cows, never milk the truth just tell me why i get fed all these lies, mario bros use all my lives, no matter how much i try to keep love for a single lady the strive just dies, so i tend to lose them like dropping flies.

"Life's A Bitch"
(feat. AZ the Visualiza)
[AZ:]
Aiyyo, wassup wassup let's keep it real son
Count this money, yaknowhatI'msayin?
[Nas:] Yea yea
[AZ:] Aiyyo, put the Grant's over there in the safe yaknowhatI'msayin?
[Nas:] Yea yea
[AZ:]
Cause we spendin these Jackson's
The Washington's go to wifey, you know how that go
[Nas:]
I'm sayin, that's what this is all about right?
Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes yaknowhatI'msayin?
Yo then what man, what? [echoes]
[Verse 1 - AZ the Visualiza:]
Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
Fuck who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
Keepin this schwepervesent street ghetto essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
But as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough
So, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
Me and my capers'll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high -
Cause life's a bitch and then you die
[Chorus - AZ the Visualiza:]
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
[-> chorus #1 echoes at the end]
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
[-> chorus #2 includes these lines, echoes at the end]
[Verse 2 - Nas:]
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puffs from
My skull cause it's pain in my brain vein money maintain
Don't go against the grain simple and plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbin foreigners take they wallets they jewels and rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects flashin my quick cash
And got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance, niggaz I used to run with
Is rich or doin years in the hundreds
I switched my motto - instead of sayin fuck tomorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cabbage
[Chorus]
[Olu Dara plays trumpet until fade]
[Intro: AZ, and Nas] Ayo, what's up, what's up? Let's keep it real, son, count this money You know what I'm sayin'?

CHARLE WILSON AND BROTHERS ORIGINAL SONG 'THE GAP BAND"
Yearning For Your Love.
The Gap Band - Yearning For Your Love
I visualize walking out of a tunnel this exact tract blaring ready for war
@dudewhyfi I've been saying the same thing after listening to the arsenal mix of "Life's a bitch" AZ was ridiculous
great
🔥🔥 🔥 classic
🔥🔥🔥
Yearning for a better life with less in stressing, seeing living life is just a blessing, but having life to give is a better blessed life in lesson, learning is never something that needs an ending, belief in a higher cause will give you cause to edit rendering, I said it better when I never let it fester, seeing my criteria grow, as all these others measure success from their bacteria growth, and froth at the mouth pit, seeing drought from the well of the mountains, saying money is all like the oxygen, while I keep searching for more meaning than the scent of intoxicants,
fire
Just tryna' get a grasp on, the path that we have gone/
Human rights, yet we sue for fights and that don't count as wrong/
And for every other race that's pursuing the dream/
Face glued to the screen, Stayin' true to the scheme/
The government does, Take away a hunters guns/
Tons of bloods, being shed for the ones we love/
People fed up with all of the excuses/
Ordinary nuisances, unfortunately we're used to/
The damage that is cursing, every average person/
Knowing that police don't counts as that is hurtin'/
I doubt that my peoples could tunnel outta this dirt and/
Because money is really just 6 inch of paper/
Somehow that got us addicted to labour/
Too bad that medial attention are our views/
Ears to the radio our opinions are abused/
The shit that begins on the news, is what society believes/
Liars and thieves on your 9 TV's, uploading viral schemes/
On your computers and in time will achieve/
Technology is the demon that lies in your seems...
Dayummmm nice deep real etc. very good
Thanks heaps mate :)
Oooh. I rarely read these lyrics on here. It's usually just "I'm hot, I better than you " but this is hot homie
Thanks man! And yeah I feel you on that.

Paroles
20, it's a blessing
Essence of adolescence leaves my body, fresh and
physical frame celebrated 'cause I made it
One quarter through life some Godly-like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puffs from
My skull 'cause it's pain in my brain, vein, money maintain
Don't go against the grain, simple and plain
When I was young, I used to do my thing hard
Robbing foreigners, take their wallets, they jewelery
Rip their green cards
Dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash
Got my first piece of ass smoking blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
Niggas I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds
I switched my motto, instead of saying "fuck tomorrow"
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
At times I look back, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic, keep static like wool fabric
Pack a 4-matic that crack your whole cabbage
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff la
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
Why we get high
Never know, that's real shit right
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff la
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
