Nas connects musically with listeners on a deeper level than artists the mainstream overplay. That's the secret to his longevity...every Esco song leaves an indelible mark. Easily the GOAT.
@@InfamousRafe because nas made an entire album 1st which spoke about black issues. Also the untitled album was more indepth and more dense than 444. 444 only scratch the surface. That's not even in jay's lane. Plus 444 was boring.
"buildings I sprayed, nowadays drive the McLaren past it" The line is so simple but tells such a vivid story at the same time, this is why he's the best lyricist
Very close to Nipsey's "Define who you are and what you are, and be clear on that. Meditate on that and then, live and die by that... You can't break the rules, the fundamental rules. Be a man of your word, do what you say you're gonna do, respect people the way you would like to be respected."
How is he not the greatest again please? I really wonder what books this man read or what he thinks about on a day to day basis. His mind is a gold mine!
This is my favourite track on the album, this is heavy! Spittin mad game!! "If you scared to take chances, you'll never have the answers, I can tell the future of a dude how his stance is"
I'm revisiting this album and I must say, I enjoy it. This is one of my favorites. This brotha has so much soul. That's why I've been rockin' w/ Nasir since 1994.
I'm from cali I been bumping nas since the 90s I'm 32 now and this shit right here is Fire ....best rapper lyricists poet story teller left ...Rip big n pac !
This record was cold is hell, Ready for new album so he can really drop some shit about what's going on in this so call country we call AMERICA! G.O.A.T. PERIOD ENUFF SAID NAS WILL ALWAYS REIGN SUPREME
As i sit here reflecting on my life im grateful 4 this track... Sober off the devils drug... Heroin.... 9months n counting.... Thanks Nas for all ur inspirational music.... Sincerely... Manuel Carbajal... San Diego... Cali....
Sharlyn Delrio That's good shit man. People use many different things to deal with the issues of everyday life and I know that music has a way of touching people like nothing else can. And if this song helped u....good for u homie. I have never been on that heroine shit so I cant relate from experience...but I have seen what it does. I hope u stay clean homie! Stay strong on your journey!!
Good lookin man....i appreciate it....honestly.....trip out...i have a year clean to this date...7/16!!! Like Nas said....life is good....n it is !!!!One love
huh? given the current rappers it is next level. i have all of nas albums. He is the greatest ever! what are you talking about and im probably older then you fam
I know nothing about rap, hip hop, artists etc. But the one thing I do know is that when someone puts their heart into what they do, you feel it. And when I listen to Nas, I feel him.
May be my favorite track. "Trust" is definitely lacking in this world. We can't even trust ourselves. I can relate to this tune in terms of family and friend relationships, even if it's not on the violent level; how many people in your life can you really trust?? Real ish.
Home right now, alone on Christmas Eve listening to this with alot on my mind. Not gonna lie pretty depressed and suicide has crossed my mind. Please keep me in yall prayers...
@@yowhaatsup thanks for reaching out. I've got better but I have alot of probs. I pray alot u know? It's like I do all of this praying and no1 eva talks back. Everyday I pray b4 bed I ask God to take my life but he neva does and when I wake I'm like damn I'm still here, WTF?! I wudda did it myself just don't wanna face judgement or seperation if there is a God. I type this with tears in my eyes. I truly appreciate u responding. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.

It ain't hard to tell Bro
Sssshit indelible that real
After Hov. Hov is number one 🐐 then Nas 🐐.
Duh my guy!!! Lol yessir!
Facts, he's my favorite artist and what makes it even more ironic his born day is a day before mine
this Album was Nas' 444 before Jay ever came out with his. this album deserves more respect.
naw the untitled album was what 444 pretended to be.
@@luddman77 how so pretender
@@InfamousRafe because nas made an entire album 1st which spoke about black issues. Also the untitled album was more indepth and more dense than 444. 444 only scratch the surface. That's not even in jay's lane. Plus 444 was boring.
LoL, Nas isn't the first rapper to speak on Black Issues. I'm a fan. But he didn't invent conscious rap. FOH.
@@sthapebarksdale7771 lol, where did you come up with that assumption? No on said he was the 1st and he won't be the last!!! lmao
"it's like a cold story, repeated over in the winters of my mind.." at that moment I knew he was finna eat this..
Indeed!....
word up
Pat G all it took was that one piano key at the beginning of the best and I already knew he was gonna kill it. He never fails with beats like this!
you right, bro!! Nas aka The Goat!
King period.
Best LYRICIST to ever walk this earth. period
Agreed!
I agree hands down best lyricists ever

He was rapping about the hardest thing in life to find in people.
takes real men to squash beef end it with hugs. some powerful shit
❤❤
This might be my favorite song off the album, chills...
hands down
fr
I think queens story was the best of the album in my
By far
So much wisdom and realnest, shoulda been on the album not a extra
"buildings I sprayed, nowadays drive the McLaren past it"
The line is so simple but tells such a vivid story at the same time, this is why he's the best lyricist
the greatest to touch a mic, one of the best to just ever write on paper in general
luckylefty914 seriously way they aren't honoring our heroes right. Nas is the better version of what a Shakespeare could ever be
He holds it down album after album, song after song with no famous guest appearances.
luckylefty914 yes true indeed.. The best to touch a pen or a pencil.. Straight 🔥🔥🔥
luckylefty914 - fact
Nas will go down as one of history’s greatest writers, bet.
One of the most underrated songs by Nas! Facts
nas > everyone else
bsmi1361 nas > everyone else combined*
Oh yea
HOVA
Lucas michaels - nah
Damm this might crack my top 5 all time nas songs. That first verse is diamond.
Same old man from years ago told me life is short
So from infant to geriatric, trust your own judgment
Live with it and love it.

I wonder if he’s referring to the “Old man with silver hair, in his wheelchair…” from his song Every Ghetto
How is he not the greatest again please? I really wonder what books this man read or what he thinks about on a day to day basis. His mind is a gold mine!
Agas Shihepo right. That's some real shit, I'm curious to know to. Genius
Before he made Illmatic Nas used to read the fucking DICTIONARY everyday probably thats why he’s so talented and good at writing songs
That's been a ? of mine since ILLMATIC!
W
universal wisdom and higher learning
Best song he ever made in my opinion.
I'm heated it's not available on Tidal, I'm not sure about other streaming apps
This and Stay
26 years old now and my senior quote was “if you’re scared to take chances you’ll never have the answers” thank you Nas the fucking goat
Life leassons and truth in this,one of my fav nas songs
This is my favourite track on the album, this is heavy! Spittin mad game!!
"If you scared to take chances, you'll never have the answers,
I can tell the future of a dude how his stance is"
How u start off like that
This dude writes....then he raps from his heart...one of the best musicians ever
I'm revisiting this album and I must say, I enjoy it. This is one of my favorites. This brotha has so much soul. That's why I've been rockin' w/ Nasir since 1994.
he's lyricaly the best,,,,Hands down
Timeless music man.
This man needs a mothafuckin statue!

Four years later and this song goes in like it was released yesterday!!!!DAMN!

Am a long time fan but didn't know this song, absolutely fire!!
Nas killed this track, dug it back up, and killed it again....such a thoro ass message.
bro nas is a legend .. been bumping this since it dropped.. the whole album .. im 29 now i was young back then being held down by this music
It’s rare I listen to niggas who never been in my position
A caterpillar can’t relate to what an eagle envisions🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
NAS....SMH my nigga ur the only reason why i still listen to hip hop how many niggaz done came n went thank you my nigga thank you
I appreciate this type of vibe...NAS is like a energy that refuses to be stopped...
That's because there's no outside force that can stop him!💯
One of my all time favorites by Nas.
nas will always be a legend
It took me while to really understand how good this song really is. 🔥
wow
life experiences
Found the track yesterday…been playing it ever since
Cole said it "PAC was like Jesus, Nas wrote the bible"... The two greatest rappers to ever do it!!!!! Jay Z ain't got shit on these two real talk

bitter land nas ft erykah badu
Nas Album done
Every time I get a new album its like getting 11, 12 or 13 new audio books. Best story teller ever.
Nas hasn't spitt irrelevant bars since I started listening to his joints back in the days.
Pecker Epps nah you just haven’t been listening smh
Welcome to the church of Hip hop. Thank you nas
Listen man, this dude Nas be really giving them street scriptures to live by. Rip Nipsey Hussle.
I salute you shonha. I've been listening to Nas with you for years. Feels like we're old friends.
Mike B Salute fam, peace and blessings.

The Whole Album is Perfect..

Congratulations on your sobriety G.. God bless and take it 1 day at a time! 100 🙏# FAITH
Till this day I'll forever listen to this record ❤
This needed to be more than just an iTunes bonus track. It should've been on the main album, one of the best tracks written for it.
That had to be a big check for him to give them this one.
Pure Hip Hop!!! And this dude is spittin all truth on this. Another gem of a bonus cut! 🔥🔥🔥
I have this song on repeat for 24 hours now lol
It’s songs like this that make Nas my favorite rapper of all time!!!🔥🔥🔥
Nas a real akh he never sold his soul that’s why this song ain’t on 100 million views
This is next level rap music
+Langston Williams next level rap music? wtf lol hes the greatest of all time. hes been around the game for a long time now. where tf have you been?
huh? given the current rappers it is next level. i have all of nas albums. He is the greatest ever! what are you talking about and im probably older then you fam
True
I know nothing about rap, hip hop, artists etc. But the one thing I do know is that when someone puts their heart into what they do, you feel it. And when I listen to Nas, I feel him.
Big respect to u bro one of the best albums
Nas = The Goat
pure genius - this guys so underrated nowadays
I love Nas, always have...always will!!!
Best song of this decade
Nas forever.
G.O.AT.
Your favorite rappers favorite rapper, the Langston Hughes of hip hop
This track is ice cold.......pierces through the soul !
Nas Escobar wear jewels like scars. A true MC Legend.
May be my favorite track. "Trust" is definitely lacking in this world. We can't even trust ourselves. I can relate to this tune in terms of family and friend relationships, even if it's not on the violent level; how many people in your life can you really trust?? Real ish.
thank God for Nas i could have suffered from this so called trap drill drip Shit..I luv this cat we tight
Why does Nas always cut the dopest tracks from his albums?
Got this song with iTunes download.
I wondered the same thing
So true! I'm a proud Nas fan, he always keeps it real no matter what.
I had to pause the song just to roll up for this one..jayz music neva
Jay can’t make shit like this at all. This the type of shit that separates Nas from everybody
Damn this song I can never get enough
Timeless Nas
This is one of the hardest street songs in the last century
Simply amazing Nas is a living Legend!!!!
Man, just when i thought I've heard it all from this guy sheessh....Nas is a master poet man
Trust and loyalty > emotional love
“It’s quite redundant, whether you the hunter or the hunted, mothers cry, no statute of limitations on a homicide”.....
trust is something we all cant get enough.
This song deserves so much more views...
millions really. but the brainwashed people dont appreciate this
Everytime I go back to Nas album I hear s*** that Jay Z really respects Nas 444
Nas is the only one that does it for the fans, not for the money.
Cant get cleaner then this,This song says nothing but whats real and true..Now days is hella hard to trust..
Nas is a living legend,today I jus thought of this track,an played it,it’s a classic
top 3 greatest hip hop artist of all time🔥🔥🔥
Nas is the greatest to ever do it. Props for another ill album
Song is a masterpiece.
..trust ur own judgement, live wit it and luv it!
Greatness.... 🙌🏽
One of favorite songs ever❤💖❤
The only real mc still alive nas still going strong always telling us something to keep our minds amazed with lyrics.
this right here a Mexican American named my son Nasir.....this man vocals....lyrics...one can relate....beyond amazing
.

Nas bonus tracks on his albums are better than most main tracks from these other garbage rappers.
Oh yea
KD SWAGGER was just thinking the same thing. This man is a genius
His Lost Tapes are better than these dudes entire catalogs lmao
