#Nas #Represent #Illmatic
If ur here in 2024, ur a legend...
Legends only...
Most def
Legend ❤ From France 🇫🇷
Here i am
Legend from Italy!
Old school hip hop had AMAZING instrumentals. Not only are the bars packed to the brim but the beats are awesome, too. The low fidelity fuzz on the chill drum samples, the bass buzzing in the background, the push for synths, pianos, and woodwind type instruments- it's so good to get lost in
Best line,'The school dropout, never liked the shit since day one' Premier on production. 28 years later we still here!!!!!!!!
Im from cali but , illmatic makes you feel like you in the quenns bridge projects.
Cali Boy word
Queens
Agreed
Yo g, as a person from Queensbridge this represents the daily life of teens crusin the blocks and oldheads chillin on the corner
Been in both
No expensive studio, big shot names, or womanizing verses, just raw simple sounds displaying that raw real project life, like a rerouted street light, 2 turntables diamond needles and lyrical serial assassin. Salutes from West Coast.
This shit was made in a studio with large professor Q-Tip & fucking DJ Premier in it fuck you mean no expensive studio
@@sekanoms LMAO
Amazin
@@sekanoms Literally came here to say that. 😂😂
" no big shot names"? Only some of the best producers that rap has ever seen !🤣🤣🤣🤣
Represent!!!!!! Represent!!!!!! Represent!!!!!!
Imagine being a 20 year old and people twice your age telling you got the BEST rap album of all time This album is timeless
Kelvin Pierce it's amazing isn't it.
I'm almost 20
But I love OG Rap good stuff!
Have u heard of K Rino MC Ren Chino XL AZ Big L big pun!
@@seekerundue Of course 90's rap is my favorite time for rap and always will be
Kelvin Pierce ever heard these songs?
K Rino - Feel My Flow
Rakim - When I B on tha Mic
MC Ren - Same Old Shit
AZ - The Format
Chino XL - Nahhh!
And to remain so cool so composed so chill...Nas is the people's champion and it shows on this one!
That's nas

Everytime I need to get creative about something I turn this song on. Something about it just gets the artistic juices pumpin
them youngins need to hear real hip hop
XXXTENTACION look at your name 😂
i know
ironic
XXXTENTACION 😂😂😂
XXXTENTACION mordern rap is shit
MoregankFreeman Yeah underground is good but like those "rappers" that can't rhyme, have shitty names, shitty songs, and look stupid
2Pac is better than trash ass Nas. He woulda gotten bodied by 2Pac if they battled each other. Hell, even Big L would get lyrically destroyed by 2Pac.
agreed. Kendrick and Cole's especially.
The Undertaker You brought up Drake for no reason. You must be a big fan. LMAO.
@@joshuasutton983 No you must be his fan cuz u defending him
Old School Rap Yep, and you know who else is a fan of Drake? Nas. Also, you have to be a fan of Drake to be thinking about him while listening to this great song. When I listen to artist I like, I don't be thinking about artist I don't like and comparing their careers.
@@joshuasutton983 He just compared him bcz he is one of the most overrated singers of all time+he is bullshit
This will always be my favorite song on illmatic
DJ Premier killed this beat
PREEMO is pure fire.
,As always
True fire
@FuckingHateTwilight I like that! Motivated to push yourself to achieve a better version of yourself!
Idk if a bad premier beat exists
More than 20 years later, this masterpiece still shines bright.
like the mf sun
Almost 30 years.😊
Bumblebee!
Nas is the definition of what real hip hop is
Nas sounded like some kind of street hero on this track.
Street Savior
because the beat is magical. Some Prince of Persia type shit lmao. That's what makes Illmatic so fuckin dope - the crazy ass beats (and Nas murders them of course).
There is a heavy but totally real quality to each of his verses, and an urgency too..probably more anger and rage and righteous knowledge all encassed and compressed within the entirety of the whole track, in response to the situation he and his crew and all the people living within QueensBridge were experiencing...this track and the whole album is how hip hop is meant to be done right done well with flawless execution on the lyrical front on the production front on the sequencing front....sound of the whole entire album sounds perfect too, with each track having its own unique sonic quality...one of the greatest works of music ever created ever conceived ever crafted and layed out on tape, that's for sure....
@@kevinscholfield2037 Well said playa
He is a street hero. After KRS destroyed MC Shan, Queens was on life support. Illmatic put Queens back on the map as an important place for hip-hop. Nas represented his hood hard in this album.
The most under-appreciated and underrated track on Illmatic. Straight classic 💯
Illmatic is still underrated even though its probably best hip hop album
@@stefan5430 this album is not underated
@@MichaelTurner856 nah i wanted to say that it is not that popular as like dr dre's the 2001 or eminem's albums even if it should be (no dissrespect towards dre and em)
One of my favorite songs on Illmatic❤️❤️❤️
Fs
Nas is New York
JuventusScelta Divita no one but ny and the magnetic area will understand. white black hispanic this culture raised from the gravel.... Hope every ones doing REAL GOOD in 2019
Nas is from my blessed NY. On some real shit though, Nas is universal!
Nas is life
Prodigy is from canada then ... -.-
Supreme team

This will always be a timeless classic
Anthony Utah My favorite song from that album
fucken oath
Insane song nas is legend.
Absolutely , all the Queen's bridge rappers are amazing
100%
this album is the definition of perfection
💯
1000% agreed

@@faint8256 cough cough It was Written

Jay z
Nas
Dmx
Eminem
50 cent
Yeah hop hop legend
Represent , represent 🙌
I love the first line. “Straight up, shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle”
2022 VISION BIG FACTS 😎
right & dope how Fabolous flipped it on ‘Gone For The Winter’💪🏾🔥
every line from this to the last line is just perfect..damn
No cap.. telling it how it is
The hardest way to open up a rap song! 💯💯💯💯💯
[Chorus]
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
[Verse 1]
Straight up, shit is real
And any day could be your last in the jungle
Get murdered on a 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
(Aiyyo, 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's on the roof tryin' 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
[Chorus]
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
[Verse 2]
Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella
Moët 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 Hennessy 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 Cazals with black frames
Now I'm into fat chains, sex and TECs
Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heines and Beck's
[Chorus]
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
Represent, represent
[Verse 3]
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 Roxanne
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
Bokeem, 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
'Nuff respect to the projects, I'm ghost, one love
[Chorus]
Represent y'all, represent
Represent y'all, represent
Represent y'all, represent
Represent y'all, represent
[Outro]
One time for your mothafuckin' mind
This goes out to everybody in New York
That's living the real fucking life in every projects, all over
To my man Big Will, he's still here
The 40 side of Vernon, my man Big L.E.S
Big Cee-Lo from the Don, Shawn Penn, the 40 busters
My crew the shorty busters, the 41st side of Vernon posse
The Goodfellas, my man Cormega, Lakey the Kid
Can't forget Draws, the Hillbillies
My man Slate, Wallethead, Black Jay, Big Oogie
Crazy barrio spot, (Big Dove), we rock shit a lot, PHD
And my man Preemo from Gang Starr
'94 real shit y'all (word up Harry O)
Fuck y'all crab-ass niggas though!
[Nas' posse]
Bitch ass niggas! Bitch ass niggas!
You bitch ass motherfuckers!
Come to Queensbridge, motherfucker!
Yeah, yeah, let's bring it back
That's just a warm up
‘Cause I can- on anybody, anybody

I’m 17 and have been into 90s hip hop for a while. All my mates call it crap but they’ve never given it a chance. Respect this genre. It’s art.

Happy Birthday Nas!
After almost 30 years later, this song is still unbeatable
It was uploaded six years ago.,,
@@WyWid1994*
@@WyWidIt was uploaded to youtube by Nas in 2017 but the song was released on the album “Illmatic” in 1994 and has been on other streaming platforms like itunes, spotify, apple music, etc for longer
Indeed it is,if only I would've been a 90s baby to experience this in its full glory, my generation of hip hop is ok, but 90s rap is just an experience
@@WyWidbro this was uploaded to youtube then... this was Nas' debut
Half man Half Amazing
no doubt
That’s what he’s like
Nas is like the Afrocentric asian
Peace to everyone who was alive when this came out!!!!
Some Ozark shit.... but grew up on this. Sensational
AUTOBOTS ROLLOUT 🔥🐐🔊🗣️
GOAT🐐
"The school dropout - never liked the shit since day one."
I relate to that line so much. Lol
That's my line bruh lol
man I love that lyric disprepect as an art form
The way he put it in is heavy.
it's a badass line also love "accelerator the type of brother whol be pissing in your elevator" deadly
Haha
Only Big L could come close to this level of rhyme and flow while telling a lot coherent tale straight off the block! 2022, I'm still here.
Damn shit so fire 🔥
I was in college when this album dropped. Great memories
This is dope I remember this on the 2k16 soundtrack
*Real Hip-Hop*
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best album of all time, hip hop god !
XD
Hell yeah
Bratino moja...❤️
Lol
Lol nah!
Just watched Preemo's episode of So Wassup? where he explains how they changed the beat, and how it was recorded with a bunch of Nas' homies in the studio booth. All the background vocals were not scripted.
Preemo would have to tell them to keep quiet while Nas was rhymin
@@RayzorBlade aa
@@RayzorBlade That wasn't at the same time
you could tell it was a bunch of streets kids , just having fun...all real vibes
One of the best songs in hip hop history. Tell me who fuckin with my nigga nas shit. Defintely not anyone from the west coast or down south or midwest. And especially jay z!!!!!!!
Big ups to the music supervisors working on the Ozark soundtrack. Including this was a raw power move. Props.
Exactly
Love it
Fr!!!
Fr
was thinking the same watching Ozark brilliant 👏
Timeless track & record
Love the Roxanne reference.
thank you god for NAS
One nas verse or line outweighs everything that is drake
No problem 😇
NAS best of all time
He's the goat
you're thanking nas for nas
Idk man I’m glad nobody listens to this music, it kinda makes me feel cooler listening to it.
Ey man, thats it🙌
The average underground hip hop fan....
Thank you Nas! 💐💐💐💐I’m 49 been with you since the beginning….🙏🏽🙌🏽
It’s sad how this masterpiece has 100k views but lil pump has millions .. people these days
Yeah i'm sad that this new generation hasn't heard of something no one has informed them about yet or they're not into.
Dude this album is ranked the #1 hip hop album of all time. I'm pretty sure this song is well known
There was another video with 8 or 9 million views...Still too low if you ask me but hey...
Johomi kids these days.
Yess nas is underrated one of the best nas songs
Thx to Transformers cause when I heard this song is fire in the movie
This may be the most hip hop hopish hip hop song ever made.
Your a g if you still bump to this
Gz up
Gz up, freeze up ⚔️
All I need is one mic 👊
Nas🙏
Run 9 miles to my younger days hip hop joints at 40 plus 🤩🏃🏻♂️➡️
Arguably the best hip hop song i've ever heard
Gangsta Shit by Scarface. You are welcome.
Sing for the moment by Eminem. You are welcome.
@@МихаилГусев-ь5и 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
14 years of rap or dance with the devil
@@МихаилГусев-ь5иnahh its good but nas is nas
This Came Out In 94 This Still Fire in 24
Agree! Nas has got an ear.
Talk about thinking outside the box. Sampled this from a 1924 silent movie which is now 100 years old.
Facts
The first verse is insane
If ur here in 25.06.2024 bro ur the best
Going to see NAS in 5 weeks, need to lock back in !
I’ve been listening to hip hop music since I was 12, now I’m 17 and Illmatic still go hard asf
Been listening for over 30 years, still a great track!
@@BJJANDMTG: Facts.👍🏽💯
Real Nas fans even back then knew he was ahead of his time.
Nas...the real NY state of mind.
Nas had phases. Street, conscious, poetical, grown man. He never was one way too much either. All his albums came together with all these elements. The greatest of all time.
🔥🔥🔥🔥Lyrics
Who still listening 2020?
Yes sir
the most underated track in the album
Nothing is underrated in this project son. Not even the intro
No it aint
Facts. It's my favorite joint. #thiefofbaghdad
Never underated!
This flow 1 of the illest on the matic!
@@parix85 the intro 👊
My favorite Nas song ever I was on the streets then and it pumped me up
The first two verses are better than lil pumps whole carreer
Gragas Noob Nas name alone is better than pumps career
Actually pump has a bigger impact on fans today than nas ever did his whole career sooo...
Pump has impact on 15y disturbed kids bcs he is the one they like, when it was nas's era there were more artists that could inspire you, not just nas
CallMe Steve impact on fans doesn't mean quality.
Everyone knows that Lil Pump sucks. Everybody knows that Nas is a legend and he's a beast on the Mic. People know Tupac and biggie....but they're good but not the goat
Syed Isamuddin Tupac and big are the goats
I heard that classic in Ozark and I burn my joint with more force🤘
Mannnn! This raw! Point blank
on 3:35 feels like Pac yellin “Big Dug”
30 damn years this classic dropped
Most def
30 years strong shout out to Queensbridge happy birthday Illmatic.
@@traviscarter1023 No Question
and it's still better than 98% of todays rap !
Still a classic
Untouchable. Best album, ever. Shoutout to Ozone Park.
If anyone writes “I’m here because of Ozark” I’ll be so disappointed you didn’t know this before that👀😂
i dont even know who Ozark is xD
new rappers wouldnt understand this
Hell naw! They're busy Toosie sliding!
I'm from Los Angeles, but illmatic showed me what real hip hop is. It's like walking through queensbridge in 94. Epic.
Premiere.....dopest producer all time....thats how you make a BASSLINE
Actually The bassline is in the sample
But to put it to a rap song is what im saying he had to find it....Peace
@@20yearsfromthepast the entire thing is a sample... Premiere didn't create any of the beat.
最高
Nas has no beef, no drugs, the man is just a hip hop legend
Bluestar T apart from jay z and weed ???
Laurie P You're absolutely right but jay z and nas are cool now which I love and everybody smokes weed, the shit is gonna be legal in Canada.
Bluestar T what do you mean by "no drugs"?
Bluestar T nas has had a lot of beefs, jay z and 50 cent to name a few
Thishaan 2pac , Jay. Beef shit doesnt make anyone a GOAT. I must say nas is the GOAT because he has the best album of all time and the fact that he has amazing lyrical power
Those “REPRESENT” chants so fire
Premo in an interview said, Nas that day came with about twenty of his hood homies...and they were chanting represent
one of the hardest beat and flow combos out there
Legendary track bruh !!
And to think Nas was only 19 when he wrote all his songs for illmatic. Crazy to think about that, so people that say new mumble rappers need time to developed their pen game cause their young that's BS. age is not an excuse, the problem with these new rappers is that they dont have the mental capacity to come up with intelligent and deep lyrics.
This was Nas living in the streets not the Nas now. The one who luckily survived. Much love.
People like you should stop complaining about new rap, i can enjoy both old rap like this and 'mumble rap' because i am open minded and you should be the same.
@@iCryptos how can you enjoy talentless shit when you got this
Different times.....darker times!

Honestly Nas put the bar too fucking high with this masterpiece, 9 songs and Intro all pure fucking fire.
He had excellent albums after this one but still illmatic is on another planet
Illmatic is a perfect album
@@CreativeLaelAsif 100% and imo greatest album ever but personally 3rd fav. Some others I believe that are perfect would be 36 chambers, liquid swords and Madvillainy.
@@duckonquack6535 my favorite is It was written that was the most creative
Facts It was written is heavily underrated almost like it as much as illmatic
Until this came out, my favorite albums were Paid in Full and Long Live the Kane! I never thought I would like anything any more than those. This is it! And definitely not taking anything away from Rakim or BDK of course. They birthed him lol
2020 🔥🔥🔥

Toooo much fire

Great job on your album. I wish you the best and may you keep getting better and better.
