First time I heard this song was when this was the opening song on the best mixtape ever.. Queensbridge vol 1.. I bought it at the coliseum in Jamaica Queens
One of my all time favorite disses. This shit is so underappreciated. Cormega was a monster on the mic, but my favorite part is just him talking at the end. "Talking about Street Dreams rocking a pink ass suit! What the fuck kinda dreams yall niggas working with man?" LMAO!
Hey rookies. Not being famous does not make you weak. It makes you unique. Mega was exclusive. Not that mainstream bullsh*t. Only real G's had Mega's music
cormega had what all the queens "rappers" wanted... REAL street stripes & Street respect... Mega wanted what the queens "rappers" had which was rap fame .... interesting dynamic
Cormega did joints with Big Pun (Rhyme for Rhyme), Kool G (Men at Work), Rakim (Listen to my Melody), Mobb Deep, Ghostface etc as well - its not like hes only known on an underground level.
a thug changes and love changes And best friends become strangers, Yo, let me let y'all niggas know one thing There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King
My mans gave me this on a recorded cassette tape with a bunch of random heat when I was 11 or 12 .. this beat stood in my head for YEARS . That niggas a herb nowadays, but thank god I got to hear some of those hidden gems... tellin Nas he gonna burn his van im like this track sounds hilarious 😅😅😅😅
Wow! How did I forget about this record??? Its not the best lyrical side of Mega, but he goes in on this one! I was bumpin it today in the truck, had to tell someone. This shit gets me hype! One of my favorite diss tracks all time. Oh and Mega has done multiple tracks w/ Nature, AZ, and Foxy since this record, while nas..........actually I don't know what nas does anymore
that's funny, because the only line nas bit from cormega was the one you cited, and cormega was on that song, so he wasn't trying to pose it as his own.
Oh yeah I know he is straight, he sold over 100k on his indy releases too (Realness and Meaning on legal hustle), thats VERY good when you are getting over 5 dollars an album or so. Legal Hustle was dope as well.
@themonkboy123 If I recall, this is an old joint due to cormeaga's disappointment with nas for allowing his old manager steve stoute to replace him in the firm group for rapper nature for reasons unkown, before the firm album in '97, after the "it was written album" in '96 that features him on a verse for the affirmative action joint.
Matter of fact, he recorded an album produced by Marley Marl before he went upstate circa '92. So get your facts straight - he did his first record back in '89 (Hotday Dante's 'Goin' Straight Up'), thats a year before Nas debuted on Live at the BBQ). 1
Nas actually did run into some legal trouble when he was about 17 involving possession of a gun, jwunsch. He killed Mega's shit on that affirmative action track as well. Mega's good but sadly has never been able to compete with Nas as a lyricist, compare Fuck Nas and Nature to a diss track like Ether, not to say the two are involved in any way but it just puts Nas on a whole different level

Mega mentions it on numerous songs and some interviews I believe. I'm not gunna link it for you. You can believe me and leave it at that. Or you can look it up for yourself and then either you won't believe Mega or you will.
I love Nas but this shit is hard af. It’s one of my favorite diss tracks to be honest. Nas had two solid rebuttals with Destroy and Rebuild and Come Get Me but as to who had the better disses I will give it to Cormega. Underrated lyricist. Glad they squashed their beef. Not the best Nas diss. To me that still belongs to Takeover given Ether was birthed because of that diss but this is close. Nas never lost a beef but this was very close. Both had solid disses.
Only real hip hop heads remember this haha
My homie a known DJ in Chicago had this on vinyl used to bang that shit hard tho 🔥🔥🌊🌊
Yes!
got this shit on Montana Way mixtape
Wrd I remember when clue had this on one of his mixtapes in the 90's! I miss this type of rap and hip hop! Wrd
💯💯💯
First time I heard this song was when this was the opening song on the best mixtape ever.. Queensbridge vol 1.. I bought it at the coliseum in Jamaica Queens

This is the original , Mobb deep , shook ones beat......
Hey rookies. Not being famous does not make you weak. It makes you unique. Mega was exclusive. Not that mainstream bullsh*t. Only real G's had Mega's music
Damn I still remember the first time I heard this shit. First cormega song I heard and never stopped listening to him.
first?
+Bradford Boucher yeah I was away for a couple of years and had no access to music except bad radio stations.
@@bradfordboucher1459 This is the original Mobb Deep.... Shook one's beat......
@@panchovilla409 This is the original Mobb Deep ....shook ones beat...
Damn this takes me back to my high school years
Old ass nigga lol
cormega had what all the queens "rappers" wanted... REAL street stripes & Street respect... Mega wanted what the queens "rappers" had which was rap fame .... interesting dynamic
Facts
check nas interview with hot 97. he says exactly that
@@karlsylvain what interview is that
I don’t know if Mega was facing fame as much as he was chasing respect and greatness. Fame definitely plays a part of it though.
Im a nightmare to street dreaming...unnhh....MEGA! Much love
Still sick in 2019
Amazing beat.
Nobody would say that nowadays
@Teneke Kafalar 2 Yup. Ik I heard this beat somewhere, thanks
Beat is ill as fuck -
This Sounds Like Shook Ones Beat From Mobb Deep Backwards
But Cormega Killed This Beat And Nature And Nas !
It’s the same sample as shookones that’s why
I love Mega just as much as the next guy and I think he's one of the most underrated MCs... but anyone who thinks he's better than Nas is crazy.
Idk on that poetic not really by lyrically wise he's much sharper
@@genecg84 nah mega said the same words all the time and every song was about betrayal. got annoying at the end of his career
Eric Clark listen to Journey & Mega’s verse on We Wanna Kill You
He's better than Nas
@@genecg84 He's not even better than Memphis bleek. Nas is a legend. I finally came across Mega die hard fans lol 🤣🚮 stupid
Cormega did joints with Big Pun (Rhyme for Rhyme), Kool G (Men at Work), Rakim (Listen to my Melody), Mobb Deep, Ghostface etc as well - its not like hes only known on an underground level.
This shit fuego🔥🔥🔥 only the real headz know bout this here.
Classic haven't heard this in over 15 years
a thug changes and love changes
And best friends become strangers,
Yo, let me let y'all niggas know one thing
There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King
Mega sooo🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve never seen anyone mention that this is the same sample from Shook Ones right? 🔥
Cormega QB Finest for real.... PEACE LOVE AND UNITY #HIPHOP4EVA
🗽👑
nas new album ft mega brought me here!!!
It's amazing that the biggest Nas fans were the biggest Mega fans and vice versa
Still Amazing
nas is 100% lyrical
1 of the best rappers ever
Visão periferia das ruas é nos manos vivendo uma guerra é nos manos SC Brasil Capivari de baixo nas 2pac.
Dope beat
great .. Love those beats
mega and mike delorean aka barz from barz n hooks!!!!
cormega reminds me of dave chappelle
i personally enjoy listening to mega's verses as much - if not more than - nas's. both are great mcs.
I think Hav did the beat, it was released on a white label with Screwball on the flipside.
This shit still goes hard …
My mans gave me this on a recorded cassette tape with a bunch of random heat when I was 11 or 12 .. this beat stood in my head for YEARS . That niggas a herb nowadays, but thank god I got to hear some of those hidden gems... tellin Nas he gonna burn his van im like this track sounds hilarious 😅😅😅😅
cormega...hands down the best in qb
I don’t know what type of shit you writing…..Mega knows he can’t fuck with NaS lol
You damn right. Respect.
People failed to realize that cormega defeated prodigy of mobb deep in freestyle battle
Good for him but prodigy is clearly the superior mc
@@paulsimmons9911 naw , no disrespect to p but mega is superior.
When hip hop was raw
So this came out before Firm album that was supposed to feature Mega? .. or after he rejected contract?
Wow! How did I forget about this record??? Its not the best lyrical side of Mega, but he goes in on this one! I was bumpin it today in the truck, had to tell someone. This shit gets me hype! One of my favorite diss tracks all time. Oh and Mega has done multiple tracks w/ Nature, AZ, and Foxy since this record, while nas..........actually I don't know what nas does anymore
Shook Ones Pt 2 sample?
Might be, but faded and revibed
***** It is, but it's horribly looped.
moonlight sonata
reminds me more of runnin' by The Pharcyde
Oh, thanks for the info holmes..
they ended this beef a long, long time ago. the nas concert in which mega came out and shook hands is on youtube...
that's funny, because the only line nas bit from cormega was the one you cited, and cormega was on that song, so he wasn't trying to pose it as his own.
Oh yeah I know he is straight, he sold over 100k on his indy releases too (Realness and Meaning on legal hustle), thats VERY good when you are getting over 5 dollars an album or so. Legal Hustle was dope as well.
Cormegas purley underground n livin nice, go read some interviews, all off mixtapes, without some label
@themonkboy123 If I recall, this is an old joint due to cormeaga's disappointment with nas for allowing his old manager steve stoute to replace him in the firm group for rapper nature for reasons unkown, before the firm album in '97, after the "it was written album" in '96 that features him on a verse for the affirmative action joint.
👑NAS full circle
Imagine Nas doing his reply on this beat!🥳
CORMEGA IS AZZ, BRO!!!
Matter of fact, he recorded an album produced by Marley Marl before he went upstate circa '92. So get your facts straight - he did his first record back in '89 (Hotday Dante's 'Goin' Straight Up'), thats a year before Nas debuted on Live at the BBQ). 1
I did a song with nature and STILL this is one off my favorite diss tracks ever ! This beat is fckn stupid my far rock would love to meet you 🤪
@MBManny This is a track way back from 2001
Back then I couldn’t front but Mega killed Nas on this
Real recognise real 😎
MEGA
Nas actually did run into some legal trouble when he was about 17 involving possession of a gun, jwunsch. He killed Mega's shit on that affirmative action track as well. Mega's good but sadly has never been able to compete with Nas as a lyricist, compare Fuck Nas and Nature to a diss track like Ether, not to say the two are involved in any way but it just puts Nas on a whole different level
And I ain't tryin to compare em. I LOVE nas and mega. I just happen to like Mega a bit more. But Pac is where it's at. lol.
Exactly what I think
Cormega never got any better.
I’m guessing you don’t listen to his music? His album “the realness” is classic, and he consistently has been putting quality music out…
@Melaku85
thanks alot!
@chickenmaster66 its called shorthand without the obvious punctuations of course this is the youtube world where we type fast and go its not english class
Cornymega, lol.😅
Nigga Jeal-S my LX is off da hook

Nas is a all time GOAT but this shit pretty hard
A dance we do in the south.
@JL0183 omg queensbrige and the housing projects are the same thing! sorta
It had a few songs on there, not his best nor his worst album. Did you like that one?
Alright man. I'll look for one or two. Not right now though. I'll be back.
