@@vjones2828she's a nod to the past we study lady day, sarah ,dinah and ella because of her the young people do pay attention ❤ sampling Nat was amazing #jazz.
That last part where Nat King Cole sings his original verse from Unforgettable, and his daughter Natalie is playing it on the piano, that truly epitomizes how unforgettable those 2 legends are. Nas really captured that image of classic golden style with this song
When this came out I was wearing baggy clothes listening to Wayne , Soulja boy and all that other stuff . I remember playing this and not really thinking much of it .Now that I'm older I can really appreciate this. It's timeless.
What cracks me up is how many people gave jay z so much credit for baring his soul or making personal grown up songs, but Nas has been doing for years!
Presidential rap. I've been saying this is what the king rappers should be on. Not that *DRANK* *DRANK* I'M A BOSS COZ I BE DRAKIN. STOP. A real boss does not clown around like that.
Love Natalie’s scene at the end… she sung the original song with her dad the originator behind her on the green screen like Nas had Queensbridge behind him on the green screen as tribute 👍🏼
Nas has been my dude since day 1. Him and Chrisette Michelle did it up, on this song. Great collabo..... It makes you think of someone who brought, and continues to bring JOY into your life. We need more rap songs like this!!!
"Colliding with big names(Jay z) that coulda made your career stop... all that and ur man is still here and um still hot " That line just gives me chills. GOAT.
Im sure I'm not the only one who feels this...... This music or better yet this era of music and these times were truly golden. I was a late teenager when some of the greatest hits and artists of hiphop existed. The nostalgia runs so deep. I am now 32 years old and I can't even explain what I would give to go back to these days, where music brought people together and you'd meet your significant other through physical interaction and proper communication. But I think the most painful part of listening to old school music is that.........these days will NEVER come back and there is no rewind nor reply button to our lives. So to all of us that lived the best times of your lives during this era. Cheers and God bless!
Albums take me back to them high school days. Exactly what you said is what I still feel when I re listen to these. I’m glad I finally got to experience New York during the winter season, that was my dream in high school 😂🤙🏾
I was listening to Nat King Cole, and I was clawing through my head to figure out 'what's the rap song my dad used to listen to that sampled this?' I finally found it.
my fav nas song.......wow cant believe it didn't even get 1 mill hit............ guess people are so used to garbage that they cant recognize a good thang. .....love me some nas.
This is a dope song. The first verse is pretty touching. Especially the part about kicking back when you're old. It's almost like he is an old man, wrapping up his career and feelings in the first verse
Such a beautiful song.. It takes me back to the illmatic album and era... It takes me back to the 90s... Such a perfect name for this song (can't forget about you)
Still 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 still 🎧 in 2020 & beyond. This video, the lyrics, & oh yeah the beat. I ❤ it. This by far one of many fav they nailed it Nas, Chrisette Michele, Rip 🙏 Natalie Cole, & her father legend Nat King Cole.
I love me some Nas, he is so deep that is why he is one of my favorite rappers ever. I still get goose bumps listening to this song and I love the "unforgettable" sample.
That's awesome. Two fantastic artists, so different and sublime in their own right, real ambassadors of music. Listening to both of their music will truly enlighten you. I wish you luck in your further endeavours of discovering geniuses like Nas and NKC.
And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times but I'm a dreamer, nostalgic in the state of mind...'Man, they don't make em' like they used to' is what the old heads used to say.
This song is never on schedule, but always on time.
This song is a masterpiece.
It’s the Natalie Cole wink at the end for me ❤
@@vjones2828her vocals always gave me throwback jazz ladies .
@@vjones2828she's a nod to the past we study lady day, sarah ,dinah and ella because of her the young people do pay attention ❤ sampling Nat was amazing #jazz.
I agree everything beat n lyrics
Chrisette Michelle has one of the greatest voices in music!
Rite on
Definitely
That last part where Nat King Cole sings his original verse from Unforgettable, and his daughter Natalie is playing it on the piano, that truly epitomizes how unforgettable those 2 legends are. Nas really captured that image of classic golden style with this song
Easily one of the most underrated songs by nas and in hip hop in general.
When this came out I was wearing baggy clothes listening to Wayne , Soulja boy and all that other stuff . I remember playing this and not really thinking much of it .Now that I'm older I can really appreciate this. It's timeless.
What cracks me up is how many people gave jay z so much credit for baring his soul or making personal grown up songs, but Nas has been doing for years!
I was buzzilled by that too.... Like what the fuck!!!
Jay has been out longer than Nas.
@@thembabloemfontein4807 Jay Z has been out longer than Nas, like what the fuck!!!
Shockzone I love both of these cats. But Jay has been out since Big Daddy Kane, believe it or not.
@@HypnoticHollywood he didn't really start become popping till the 90s though
Chrisette's voice is golden as evidenced by her collaborations. The ending in the video still gives me chills...perfect. RIP Natalie Cole
Definitely. She made songs with Nas, Jay Z, and Ghostface Killah.
The end of the song & the end of the video to match the song is like to the point I can’t even imagine or explain it
Rip Nat also
This is actually a fantastic song. No bullshit. Absolute style, class, truth. Absolute classic.
Presidential rap. I've been saying this is what the king rappers should be on.
Not that *DRANK* *DRANK* I'M A BOSS COZ I BE DRAKIN.
STOP. A real boss does not clown around like that.
+RD RD Sure buddy.
Revit Iligo yep
Not a single cuss word in this track. 💯
Without doubt one of my fave tunes fullstop. Always put me in a positive rappin' along to this.
Who says nas ain't the GOAT? This piece is priceless
He aint the goat
@@oleschool2241 You the sheep. Stupidest Hater Ever Emerged Period
@@oleschool2241 chill dude. Show respect
@Aaron9 arguably Tupac
He ain't tho Tupac is
This joint just shows how NAS is and forever will be miles ahead of any MC when it comes to lyrics, metaphors and story telling.
check MF DOOM but yes Nas is great too
@@Chimpfinga DOOM is great the best wordsmith I would say but he doesn’t has the varieties and diversity Nas has...
I forgot how dope these verses were .. I almost felt a tear drop 🥲
Love Natalie’s scene at the end… she sung the original song with her dad the originator behind her on the green screen like Nas had Queensbridge behind him on the green screen as tribute 👍🏼
Nas got some real meaningful lyrics, and Chrisette Michelle's voice is just beautiful. 5 Stars...
Chrisette Michelle has such a beautiful voice I loved that old sound
Absolutely
This song brings so much nostalgia! Very beautiful!
Nas has been my dude since day 1. Him and Chrisette Michelle did it up, on this song. Great collabo..... It makes you think of someone who brought, and continues to bring JOY into your life. We need more rap songs like this!!!
"Colliding with big names(Jay z) that coulda made your career stop... all that and ur man is still here and um still hot " That line just gives me chills. GOAT.
He probably talking about pac and biggie too
That time flew by, this used to be my shit, such a intelligent song, nas hands down a legend
Chrisette Michelle killed it....love me some Nas.this is beautiful
Whose here 2022 and still jamming to this classic Nas is brilliant
This is one of the greatest songs of all time!! Period!!!
First and only time I’ve heard “with whom” used in hip hop. Nas is a distinguished gentleman! 💯😎
Im sure I'm not the only one who feels this......

Salute to the GOAT
"Somethings are forever and somethings are not" Nas is the man and this track is HOT

Right on
Absolutely correct
Classic having Natalie cole at the end-rest in peace
This song makes me wish I was a child again to relive those golden moments. Beautiful times.
This song just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside about what Hip-Hop used to be.

good point

2023 this song still gives me chills growing up I dream this song in my sleep and felt nostalgic, true classic.
I absolutely Love this song! Nothing but good vibes from it.
This song should have gotten way more views after all this time.
I was listening to Nat King Cole, and I was clawing through my head to figure out 'what's the rap song my dad used to listen to that sampled this?'
I finally found it.
Saw this on fuse and couldn't find it for years. Finally just listen to every song on every album. It was for the best I guess haha
I remember back in middle school I would turn on MTV in the morning and see this music video. Oh the good old days...
"Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines" that part right there
chrisette has one of the best studio voices i've heard in ....forever. contemporary and classic... i hope it can translate into a great solo talent..
sadly it didn’t. smh 😢
Beautiful voice , timeless , they sound great together,
I agree because Nas is amazing with his lyricism.
Absolutely
I REALLY almost felt a tear drop 😢....NAS killed this one!!!!!!!
RIP Natalie. I bumped this cut so many times.

"Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines."
Ain't that the truth.
Not on schedule, but always on time... Best quote ever... (Sniffs)
This song is so nostalgic in itself, in my opinion, this is probably one of Nas' best songs.
An absolute classic... he has some great songs but this one sticks out more than any other. Sick Song
I always have to play this back about 4 times every time I need my Nas fix❤
For me one of Nas best song and most underrated song 🎵
Nas universal poet nuff said.
This song is perfect during the Christmas season
RIP Natalie. Underrated NaS joint. Perfect record.
Beautiful and nostalgic.Memorable.Nas is one of Hip Hop,s greatest
This is a dope song. The first verse is pretty touching. Especially the part about kicking back when you're old.
It's almost like he is an old man, wrapping up his career and feelings in the first verse

This is when I fell in love w/ Chrisette. Her voice is beautiful.

Listening to this 11years later..it's never going to get old for me.. great song
It's crazy how some music is completely timeless compared to easy hits you see more and more getting produced nowadays. Great song indeed
Everything about this song is on point
Magnificent tune indeed
heard this for the first time yesterday on the radio, and fell in love with the beat.
The first song that introduced me to: Nas and Nat King Cole.
That's awesome. Two fantastic artists, so different and sublime in their own right, real ambassadors of music. Listening to both of their music will truly enlighten you. I wish you luck in your further endeavours of discovering geniuses like Nas and NKC.
This is Definitely the Lifelong Anthem once you reached Success and Your Peak of Career.. and Until The End.. Classic
“I need a moment y’all, see almost felt a tear drop.”
And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times but I'm a dreamer, nostalgic in the state of mind...'Man, they don't make em' like they used to' is what the old heads used to say.
I still fucks with this....When was the last time you heard a real anthem????
The corona virus cant steal these moments from me I am from the golden age
Nas is the greatest hip hop storyteller EVER after Slick Rick of course.
can't forget about Scarface
Nas is way better
@@Rolla650 its a tie
HumanNature1117 K rino too
Yes you are right after Slick Rick
Concepts, Creativity, and of course, Lyrics. Reflection, Nostalgia, Deep Thought. Everything.
Song gives u chills
Nas is beautiful.
timeless.. aww Natalie at the end gives me even more chills now.. rest in peace.
I know right I just started crying I forgot she appeared in the end of the video.
+Lateshia Childs yesss.. we've lost so many greats recently.. sad, indeed.
My great grandma would be bobbing to this 💯
Chrisette looks so pretty. Classic song to listen to when I was kid and I love the end of this song .
