    This track is one of the many reasons why Nas is one of the GOATs. Real Hip hop was dead in the mid 2000s due to it getting dumbed down due to the commercialization, and the South lowering the standards. Nas knew what was up and made a powerful statement by calling out the industry.

      @@VoidDweller86 Personal taste in music.
      How actively do you actually listen to new hip hop music? I don't do that myself anymore, as I have reached the old age of 26 and seem to just listen to the music I enjoyed when I was young. However, when I was young, I also spoke negatively about all new hip hop, even though I didn't actually listen to any of it. Once I opened my eyes and ears, I realized that hip hop is just as good as ever. It's just different. And now that I am an old man, I have an even better perspective on it. How boring would it be if hip hop stayed the same as it was in the 80's? If every album sounded like 36 Chambers for three decades straight, we'd eventually get bored and we'd wonder if the artists simply didn't know how to make something different. Here is another take I got in my old age: we seem to look back and remember the standouts. When we talk about the 90's, we talk about all the great hip hop music. Why on earth would we be remembering all the trash and all the mediocre stuff? We remember the albums that stood the test of time. Just like when we look back at the early 2010's, we will probably focus on albums from people like Kendrick Lamar, and not one of those rappers that couldn't put a proper project together.

      No hip hop died in 2004 to 2005. All because songs like "Laffy Taffy, Me in My White T." Then Souljah Boys dumbass coming out and being a pioneer with ringtones and other shit that went south. I remember around 2008 sitting there thinking, "damn hip hop is really dead. This music just keeps getting shittier and shittier." People often look past rock, R&B and many more genres but they were affected by this shift in reality too. Damn I miss the early 2000's and before. Real times.

      ^So just because I said he talks over a beat you automatically assume that I listen to fake rappers? LMFAO! I listen to real hip hop, he might have good message but he talks over a beat and it's boring just.... not worth listening to, only white walls because he actually had a flow

    This song is so underrated. Rappers today will never compare to Kool Moe Dee, Nas, Rakim, Kurtis Blow, or the originals. Nobody today is about anything. It's like rappers like Cole, Kendrick, Logic or anybody spreading positivity and an enlightening message won't matter.

      I'd also like to add in the fact that Vevo censors like crazy. I only watched this so I could see the music video for the first time. I usually listen to it through someone that doesn't censor it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Censoring everything bothers me. It's art. It's speech. And it sort of bothers me that Vevo censors just about everyone except Eminem. I'm not saying Eminem is bad, but why does he get special treatment? If anyone has an honest answer, I'd be very interested to read it.

Get over it. Sure it’s mostly a business these days (sadly) but don’t pretend that 90s rappers weren’t cocky and rich. Give it a try

      He's lyrical, a great story teller, authentic, and has more than just illmatic, an album considered to be the best Hip Hop album historically.
      RAKIM considers nas one of the greats.
      I think you're probably the hip hop wannabe if you don't understand how incredible illmatic is, and how great nas is with his numerous classic albums.

    • @zh9607
      @zh9607 5 лет назад

      @Manuz54 I dont think you know what it means to be lyrically Godness in the game do you? I think, you're the type of listener that likes to pretend you appreciate something that sounds lyrical, but a hard and unrelenting artist will impress you, not because of actual content, but rather their hard vibe and aura in their videos.
      It's just simple mindedness.
      You haven't really listened to Nas intently if you can only pull up one of his more popular work.
      Immortsl technique is nice. But Nas is a subtle flow switching comprehensive story telling genius.

    • @zh9607
      @zh9607 5 лет назад

      @Manuz54 pun respected and loved Nas.
      The latino hip hop community overall loves nas.
      I dont need to listen to big pun to know what Nas objectively is in the game.
      They're both giants. But nas made the biggest impact due to the sheer size of his catalogue.

    • @grandmaster4521
      @grandmaster4521 5 лет назад

      Manuz54 ok first off you’re on a Nas video saying this bullshit. And if Nas only had 1 good album he would never be considered top 10. You might wanna go back and listen to it was written or Stillmatic if you think Nas isn’t top 5.

    2007 was when mainstream hip-hop started to decline, it had a resurgence between 2012-2014 but it quickly went downhill again after that. Mainstream hip-hop that is. Underground hip hop is alive and well if you know where to look, but I noticed it's harder to find now.
