Amazing track, even more so when you know that it was produced by a 17-year-old who had won a contest to produce a song for Nas. This and Deja Vu should have been on an album!
nas said it right in still matic. 'last real nigga alive". people think a lyricist is ll in complex words and punchlines. to a degree the cleverness in how you deliver words is a display of lyrical ability but the word lyrical means emotionally connected or attached to life. Nas is the only lyricist left that actually defines what lyrical means. This is why he said hip hop is dead. because lyrics died long before he said it. One love 1606 Certified!!!
"The ghetto is my garden of Eden So I keep bobbin' and weavin' It's intense so I'm hardly breathing K-O, and the winner is Nas, that's how the scene ends." 🔥🔥🔥
EM IS GREAT BUT NAS IS OTHER LEVEL, 20 YEARS IN THE GAME,REALEST CATALOGUE,DOPE FLOWS,UNDISPUTED WORDPLAY.... ..."NAME A RAPPER THAT,I AIN'T INFLUENCE.."
This is legit like watching a film. The way Nasir can paint a picture with the words. The way he puts the sentences together. Just unbelievable. For sure the GOAT 🐐 Undisputed, unchallenged, pound for pound greatest to ever do it.
One of my idols. Favorite MC. 2Pac Nas Raekwon Royce Da 5’9 In this order... But Nas is one of the greatest of all time. Definitely a permanent on the Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
Nas is not a rapper....No Nas is a real poet, or rather...A teacher! The only one to keep shit real today! I stand by that, and even if it's 18,000 niggas, it's still 18,000 niggas who know true hip hop!
Nas + C Sick sampling Ultra Nate makes this track legendary. Two polar worlds reflected in the emcee and the beat. Then comes the intro....and a tale of the continuously examined dichotomy which he re-examines throughout his music- Being in between worlds. The lenses continue to flick: the Queens perspective vs the Manhattan perspective and then approaches it globally and then universally.
The ghetto is my Garden of Eden so I keep bobbing and weaving it's so intense that I'm hardly breathing KO and the winner is Nas that's how the scene ends Dope Shit
This song is simply Dope! It made me think and ponder. Because I keep playing it and I noticed something new a few times. The life of the famous, I could only imagine must be Exhilarating and exhausting both the same. Especially when going back to where you started from. Because it’s who you are and where your going to choose to stay...it’s almost like you will feel misplaced despite of the Riches and luxurious. So my question is, ‘Is it really worth it?’ NAS 🤴😎❤️
wow... that put into words would i have thought so many times. like biggie was able to words together in ways no one could and could think of the craziest shit to say. and someone like pac would say shit that was deep in terms of meaning. but nas does EVERYTHING perfectly. if you look up lyricism, you really should see his picture
@InfamousAct when he speaks on his personal life. Nas speaks on everyones life. Different levels. Everyone can be emotionally conncted to themselves but Nas connects to life as a whole.not a fair comparison

One of the most underrated NaS songs ever. This is pure gold.
No Brasil isso é puro puro e raro!!!!!
My first time hearing this and I'm rockin w Nas since 93. Who says Nas ain't the GOAT???
Love the song
This really needed to be on one of his albums.
Agreed!!!
Amazing track, even more so when you know that it was produced by a 17-year-old who had won a contest to produce a song for Nas. This and Deja Vu should have been on an album!
Foul Breeze too.

1606 Certified!!!
LYRICS FLAWLESS 🔥
His unreleased catalog better than most rappers mainstream shit. 👑💪🏿
Proper. Especially if you're counting lost tapes
I'm English and even though there is some quality rap here, Nas is without doubt the best ever.
This dude makes you follow his flow and think, which makes the beat just fade away. Its like hypnotizing or something.
Anyone else think this is probably one of Nas's best tracks?
You really can see the shit like film. Lol props as always to the Street's Disciple
Nas ia the greatest narrator in hiphop history hands down period.
The dopest lyricist on the planet my favorite emcee
Nas never disappoints
the best
USMC'SGamingNetwork who better??
USMC'SGamingNetwork lmao....not everything pac wrote was deep..come on bruh.. pac was a beast and is top 3 but lyrically nas outshined him
LifeIsGood Definitely. Yup Tupac was a beast, but Nas is the best lyricist ever, hands down.
"The ghetto is my garden of Eden
So I keep bobbin' and weavin'
It's intense so I'm hardly breathing
K-O, and the winner is Nas, that's how the scene ends."
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is untouchable, underrated, straight out fire .
100% fact
This beat is expertly crafted and captures the essence of Nas's signature sound
Best rapper iv ever heard hands down
One of his most underrated songs
I think it's just underheard. Someone a few comments below even admitted this is their first time hearing it. He should have put this on an album
Nas' storytelling game is SUPERB!!!
One of the best Nas songs dammmmm Nas he got a lot songs and always people talking about illmatic or it was writen common People
Nas and Pac my favorite 2 jewel droppers...... Deep thoughts always
All day 💯💯💯💯🐐
I couldn’t stop listening to this when it came out back in high school
Appreciate him while he's here!!!! All I hear is "Growth" when I listen to Nas.
"HE'S LIKE NO OTHER"🐐🔥🔥🔥
That first verse is so deep.
We need a full album with unreleased songs by Nas, like he did in the past. I swear, this song is addictive!
This song is so smooth. Feels like am floating.
Been looking for this song for years.
Kind of music I want played at my funeral how could anyone be angry when they hear his voice on wax he's definitely top five my personal number one
How dope is this still to this day? 2022
It's dope. I consider Nas the greatest storyteller in the rap game.
2023! 🔥🔥
2024 🔥
2019 even better nas is back
Victor Gillis the greatest
EM IS GREAT BUT NAS IS OTHER LEVEL, 20 YEARS IN THE GAME,REALEST CATALOGUE,DOPE FLOWS,UNDISPUTED WORDPLAY....
..."NAME A RAPPER THAT,I AIN'T INFLUENCE.."
Na, nas not that close. Black thought is the only black rapper close to em
Eminem doesn’t have the black experience, there’s no soul vibrating in em’s music
Em’s catalog isn’t deep enough to compare with Nas.
This is legit like watching a film. The way Nasir can paint a picture with the words. The way he puts the sentences together. Just unbelievable. For sure the GOAT 🐐 Undisputed, unchallenged, pound for pound greatest to ever do it.
Some show love and some are envious, some got the heart of gold, some venomous.
2021 Who's still here?? This track is soundtrack to my good and worst days.. Esco!!
you cannot miss on this beat
one of the most underated songs,sick beat,sick nas flow like always!
This Song from Nas is Incredible!! Classic Nas Style n Flow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this song is deep, props to Nas, it BANGS!!!!!
Regardless of what you say or think of Nas, he is still a legend of hip hop, and always will be...
Saint Nick I like that.
Exactly 💯
Ignorance is bliss, I loved being innocent.
Nas is the man !
Song's way ahead of its time
Nas is always ahead of the time the goat imo
@@biglcorleone7289undisputed🙌🏾
My first time listening to this. Wow
i gotta say this song is soo ill one of my new favs.
Nas the greatest to ever touch the mic. 🐐
Fireeeeee Nas arguably the best MC in NYC next to Rakim and Krs one
Black thought, eminem
The difference is Nas concisely strokes his brush “half as short twice as strong” Eminem is no where near Nas skill set stop it
Most underrated nas song
this need 10 million views..
I'll take a billion.
I'll take a billion.
How dare there be 40 dislikes on this track from the best lyricist of all time

One of my idols. Favorite MC.
2Pac
Nas
Raekwon
Royce Da 5’9
In this order...
But Nas is one of the greatest of all time. Definitely a permanent on the Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
2020 and his music lives on
I might've played this song non-stop for 1 or 2 whole weeks in January. hahah, good times.
Nas is not a rapper....No Nas is a real poet, or rather...A teacher! The only one to keep shit real today! I stand by that, and even if it's 18,000 niggas, it's still 18,000 niggas who know true hip hop!

Nice summation, really get to savor the beauty of the creativity when broken down
True story teller no cap 🧢

Marvin Hopkins that was the illest part
Marvin Hopkins wow
this song goes hard.
I remember me and my daughter was maybe or younger? Would listen to the instermental
the beat is sick - c-sick - the future for hip-hop. First time I heard this took me back to those summers back in the 90s.
The nerve of putting Kendrick and Jay ahead of Nas…🤦🏾♂️
Silent murder
@@marioresto8864its sorta like the conclusion to colour purple..
Playing with the god The nerve
this gives me the chills!
Actual big man tune

like biggie was able to words together in ways no one could and could think of the craziest shit to say. and someone like pac would say shit that was deep in terms of meaning.
but nas does EVERYTHING perfectly. if you look up lyricism, you really should see his picture
The modern era Shakespeare
