This song is so dope. I'm 44 and have known this song forever. How did this NOT blow up around the MCU success? I get a tear every time I hear "we got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker".
you know....shit got serious...when he starts it off with."and the skies got darker...next up.. nasir vs Peter Parker..yo no lie the images and scenes I can imagine are so raw it's unreal I can see a motion comic come to life...and continue this alternate universe and explore it...
Surprised this concept was never turned into a video game, especially considering some rappers ended up on the PS2 back in the day after this song. This is beyond dope, one of the best creative hip-hop tracks of all times. 💯🎮
"He couldn’t see me with my applejack hat and high-tops Colossus and Cyclops, I got No I.D. and Y-Not” Being from Chicago just hearing the name "Y-Not" took me baaaaacck!
I been looking for this song for years.. I heard it one time back in 03 and loved the concept and it stuck in my mind for 17 years. I had no idea who was the artist or the name of the song but I’m glad I finally found it lol
My 7th grade physical science teacher showed me this a loooong time ago. Every morning he would play a song or read a poem and ask what we thought. He played this and everyone was loving it. That day everyone seemed to have a lot more to say about the subject.
Im from the 90s and your speaking FACTS! I am proud I used this track to school my kids off this mumble rap garbage. My kids are comic book fans and the entire concept and flow blow their minds.
@@lita6963 I love it.. I graduated high school in 97 but listened to mostly southern hip hop because I’m from New Orleans. Just found this gem few months ago and I been diving into the emperor’s stuff. Guy is mad talented
This is the best part for me especially the way he described it "This is the final battle as the stratosphere gets darker We got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker Nasty Nas at “Halftime,” head-ringer versus the web-slinger Illmatic versus radioactive in the Rotten Apple where the Dead linger. He cursed the day that spider ever bit him And gave him a copy of his second LP, It Was Written"
My bio on xbox has been "illmatic versus radioactive in the rotten apple where the dead linger" for years and years. Last Emp is masterful with the rhymes.
I just... miss THIS. Still dope and whenever I think of something that an emcee did that was amazing, I remember this song aside songs like "Gave You Power" by Nas. Last Emperor himself has to be in part 3. #Boom
Maan!! This is siiiick, still drives me crazy like the very first time I heard this great story/song and that was like 15 years ago back in high school and it's still greatest story/song recorded... Mad Genius - - R.I.P G O A T
I don’t think they were aware of the fact that the ghost pirate that celebrate Christmas Hanukkah and also are in league with the Muslims including Al-Qaeda are going to give up
Man, I'd love to know if anyone ever bought this to Stan Lee's attention before? I'd love to think that he heard it and loved it, although I highly doubt he knew who 99% of the rappers in it were! But still, he certainly knew who the comic book characters were!!!
The last lines, where he asks the listener if they think that THEY could be in the sequel, is seriously one of my favorite moments in 90s hip hop. It's a shame that he had such a wack roster to pull from for the sequel, alas.
This still goes hard as fuck. Been pumping this since high school and i'm 35 now!
+boc813
Same here.
Same here. Wish he stayed making music
+boc813 34 here. This was (and still IS) some next level type shit when it dropped. The 2000 generation missed out on the illest shit ever.
boc813 I'm 25 doing the same shit
Man, you sound like my uncle. Hope you ain't as crazy lmao
This song is so dope. I'm 44 and have known this song forever. How did this NOT blow up around the MCU success? I get a tear every time I hear "we got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker".
I've been listening to Hip Hop my entire life and this still holds as one of the greatest stories ever
I can think in real underground without this song
Yeah,yeah its common sense. Ice man tried to freeze me,so i took him Chicago and told him to take it easy...
you know....shit got serious...when he starts it off with."and the skies got darker...next up.. nasir vs Peter Parker..yo no lie the images and scenes I can imagine are so raw it's unreal I can see a motion comic come to life...and continue this alternate universe and explore it...
oh man if skills sold...
I seriously thought he got everyone that he talks about to come in and record their parts for the longest time.
@@dannyguzman7052 WORD me too! I was thinking about this song just the other day and that's when I realized that it was him
@@howardjohnson1688 but he does sound like Redman without trying
It does
Sadly his deal with Dr Dre fell through
Damn. Was listening to this on the way to work this morning. RIP Stan Lee.
Why'd you have to remind me... 😞
😭😭
The last emperor says hi.
Surprised this concept was never turned into a video game, especially considering some rappers ended up on the PS2 back in the day after this song. This is beyond dope, one of the best creative hip-hop tracks of all times. 💯🎮
It’s not too late. It still could
Last emperor is so slept on.
2003 - 2004 there I was in Pietermaritzburg South Africa. I heard this song and I was never the same. The Emperor will rule forever.
4:08..."The military punisher Big Rock just broke Roadblock's baaaaack!!!"
😂
Such an underrated banger. Thought it would Forsure blow up one day
"He couldn’t see me with my applejack hat and high-tops
Colossus and Cyclops, I got No I.D. and Y-Not”
Being from Chicago just hearing the name "Y-Not" took me baaaaacck!
If we had to create a secret wars with mumble rap artists lol super hero's would win all day everyday
Nas vs peter Parker is fire
Compare this to 99% of hip hop today....
What hiphop? 😆

Same.
Same.
Same.
If we had to create a secret wars with mumble rap artists lol super hero's would win all day everyday
Rendani Maseda truth
Mumble rap artists wouldn't even show up on their radar; Mumble rap to the superheroes is like Professor Chaos to any authoritative figure. 😂
FACTS
😂Yoh! Realist fact I've ever read today
BUT REGGIE NOBLE DROPS HIM WITH TWO BRICK-CITY PUNCHES!
I been looking for this song for years.. I heard it one time back in 03 and loved the concept and it stuck in my mind for 17 years. I had no idea who was the artist or the name of the song but I’m glad I finally found it lol
Congratulations dog

Im from the 90s and your speaking FACTS!
I am proud I used this track to school my kids off this mumble rap garbage.
My kids are comic book fans and the entire concept and flow blow their minds.
Born in 83 grew up in the 90s. This is without a doubt one of the best records I ever heard. So creative
This is the greatest song ever made in history... I miss the days when we used to learn from music.
I'm glad he mentioned Ras Kass, my fave
If we had to create a secret wars with mumble rap artists lol super hero's would win all day everyday

Like Logic said... "The illest rapper alive is probably stacking produce."

Still Bumping this in 2018!
He's dropping an album tomorrow.
What's it called??
Jungle Jim, yea?

I don’t think they were aware of the fact that the ghost pirate that celebrate Christmas Hanukkah and also are in league with the Muslims including Al-Qaeda are going to give up
RIP Stan Lee
This track is too crazy, MTV TRL has to come back just to see a videoclip of this insane banger!
*someone has to do us a favor and do a video for it.

2021 I’m hearing for the first time, this shits crazy….
Dope!!
The last lines, where he asks the listener if they think that THEY could be in the sequel, is seriously one of my favorite moments in 90s hip hop.
It's a shame that he had such a wack roster to pull from for the sequel, alas.
I was looking forward for MF DOOM being in the fight with Lord Quas but oh well 🤷♂️
the last emperor vs superman!
one of my fav songs of all time
Rest in Power Stan Lee & Jamal gray
Possibly the best hip hop track ever
