Do you guys ever hear a song that you haven't heard in a long time and once you hear it again you get rushed by a ton of memories, little glimpses of your past again?
Personal opinion, but I feel as if Nas, especially early Nas, is the greatest MC to ever touch the mic. I love BIG, Big L, Mobb Deep, Scarface, Masta Ace, all of em. Nas just gives me that raw emotion in almost every song. I find myself breaking down his lyrics as if studying poems. Like an onion going deeper layer by layer and becoming more fascinated with each new thought learned. Truly beautiful.
We take for granted how effortlessly Nas makes conversational rap. The complexity of the rhymes while still being coherent in the narrative he’s creating is what separates him from the rest.
@@anatorres-ym8ke I don’t know one Eminem song that I like. His voice, choice of beats and cadence is irritating. Em don have a song like this in his catalogue.
@Mike Paras Because pacs wasn’t getting credit or relevancy when he had with the complex lyrics like he did in his earlier days.... Nas can’t touch pac
When you listen to Nas you realize how ahead of his time he was, these flows are what people hear today and call it a good verse and this man’s been doing it for 30 years straight
Makes me think that they live in the underground. Conscious of the world around them. Spending their time rappin, hustlin, drinkin and smokin. This photo looks like they recently came up from the underground and are looking at the world. Society and how people live. Looks like they plottin something. Up to no good. Surviving in the ghetto. Remaining in the shadows..
This isn’t a happy song or a sad song.. this song is REAL and that’s why I love it.. whenever I need something to relate to and feel less alone I play this song right here..
Nerman ua-cam.com/video/XoF0xXjULe0/v-deo.html only idiot could say that Chino is shit, he would bash most so called mc's in lyrical battle. Nas, Xzibit,OC wont have power to handle Chino, now with Big L shit might get hard.
NaS and AZ were like Coffee and Tea. You had one of them that you liked a little more than the other. "Time is illmatic, keep Static like wool fabric" ✌️
@Jmatac999 Not yet broda, I've been deep into Japanese Rap lately, so i been Outta the loop for a good while. I missed AZ a lot man. It's definitely gonna be fire 🔥
Im a Nas fan dont get me wrong but Nas himself said . "Big L scared me to death When i heard that on tape I was scared to death I was like theres no way i can compete with this if this is what i gotta compete with" he said that on audio you aint know hip hop
+Anthony Paul Oh here we go, someone saying you don't know hip hop cos somebody said something. Big L isn't even top 10 ever. NIGGA DOESNT HAVE A CLASSIC. I don't give a damn what NaS says. He's better than Big L. Dude ain't even better than Ghostface, Raekwon, or Kool G Rap, lmao. L is more of a punchline battle rapper type of nigga. Stop trying to be different.
My friends Dont listen to Nas cause they cant comprehend his rhymes but at least i cud come on to UA-cam n chill with Fans Of Nas from different parts of the Globe.
"But miracles never leave the churches, instead it hits the pockets of the preacher just to purchase a house with a swimming pool, labels ME a sinning fool, I'm just a ni**a who inherited a winning jewel." Are you kidding me?? Those bars right there makes it SO hard to not rewind this song
Wow...I can't believe this song has *5.7 million views.* That's crazy. I thought this song was hella obscure and unknown when I first found it several years ago. It's beautiful to see that there's still people who appreciate real hip hop as much as I do
Well I mean, I've written some insane shit since I was 12 and I just turned 20. But then again, this is Nas, and I'm not Nas haha. I did think about it though, and my fucking head hurts now
Cerwercker No, Deja Vu was confirmed to be made during the development of It was Written along with Everything is Real, Understanding and Life is a Dice Game but were later scrapped.

Stephen Granville 100% correct realist comment ever. Tupac was great don't get me wrong but we are still blessed with one of the greatest living lyricist ever PERIOD!!!
Even though Nas is very good, he's not even in the top 3, and in my opinion, he barely makes it to the top 10. Even though he's great, there is better than him.
I agree with you on that,I've heard rappers that were deeper,more charismatic and just all around more interesting,but the rappers that are "up there" like Nas,Tupac,Biggie,Snoop Dogg etc,the classic hall of fame rappers Nas is about the best. I mean if we get real technical we could start talking about all the rappers that cant even rap like lil dicky lol. That would just be a disgrace though,and illmatic is a staple in hip hop history.
Although this song is old, I remember listening to this on UA-cam in the college dorm room back in the fall of 2010 on a damp rainy, day. This beat suits those days. Nas' relaxed flow over a melancholy give me a nostalgia overload.

Lyrically Nas is one of the best rapper, if not the best in the hip-hop's history. He made hip-hop sound like poetry and story telling, the real hip-hop, I mean back when songs had meanings and relevant lyrics.

The beat is timeless
Jason Blade the beat is the absolute ONE and Nas murders IT !!!
Jason Blade how this was only good enough for "pre-illmatic" pretty much sums up nas's talent
It's trademark 90s. timeless means you can't categorize it which you can with this beat.
Jason Blade it’s actually not the real beat this songs from a Raekwon song “verbal intercourse”
Alluviale Daempfer timeless means to withstand the test of time, therefore, it is timeless.
This is possibly the best thing UA-cam has ever recommended to me.
dope shit🔥🔥
The best MC of our time. Point blank.
My fav is big L, but I gotta say nas has to be the best
big L was killed before he dropped enough material to be considered a GOAT
i couldnt pick between them though they both have amazing styles
I have him second to Doom, then the mighty Mos Def
I have much more to study as a 19 year old.. but so far I haven't heard anything rap wise as abstract as Doom
Being high in the winter listening to this shi on my way to greatness is something I look forward to doin; y’all stay up mayne

It reminds me of hustlers in the projects, livin a dangerous life to survive. Each one is looking in a different direction to watch each other’s back

it was recorded for It Was Written
The first ten seconds of the first verse have so much meaning behind em it’s the craziest intro I’ve ever heard I love everything about it
"From the womb to the tomb, I presume the unpredictable. Gun salute, life, rap elite, thats the ritual."
DAMN DANIEL Cormier *guns salute life rapidly, that's the ritual
Lmao " rap elite " Idk why but that shit had me dying
Nas wrote this before he was 20 years old.
Think about that for a minute.
Well I mean, I've written some insane shit since I was 12 and I just turned 20. But then again, this is Nas, and I'm not Nas haha.
I did think about it though, and my fucking head hurts now
I thought about and the reason is because his a legend
No, he written this during the production of It was Written. So it had to be in 1995, when he was 21 turning 22.
Musashi Miyamoto no the beat was made in 1995, he wrote it in ‘91 I’m sure of.
Cerwercker
No, Deja Vu was confirmed to be made during the development of It was Written along with Everything is Real, Understanding and Life is a Dice Game but were later scrapped.

I'm loving this Nas song!!!
Bro....as big of a Nas fan I am. I've never heard this joint. I feel like I unlocked a secret world or something. This shit is 🔥🔥🔥 honestly a top 100 song ever just from the first listen I get those vibes. Sheesh.
Yea I had so many Nas in my ipod back in high school but then I was like deja vu? I don't remember this lol
Bro I feel the same

This is the greatest song in hip hop history
I’ve had it on repeat for 13years no cap
Bro...I’m with you...embarrassed to say it’s 2020 and I just got open...pre Illmatic heat. This beat is so dirty...reminds me of a rusty swing set swaying in the park
This perfectly encapsulates NY circa 92- 95.. I can actually feel that suspension in time.. That NY state of mind and aesthetic.
Yes. I felt that nostalgic off the beat and that 3rd verse just sealed it for me. Year 95....I can vivid remember the time in NYC omg
I ain't a Christian but I find we pray alike.. Facts
This beat, Nas' flow, it's timeless. It's a classic. This is obvious.
Real😇
the beat is chill and spooky , love it !
Lyrically Nas is one of the best rapper, if not the best in the hip-hop's history.
He made hip-hop sound like poetry and story telling, the real hip-hop, I mean back when songs had meanings and relevant lyrics.
The Last of a Dying Breed, the BEST
Nas is number 1 . Don't sleep on j cole he's nice as well
