Fact; This video was recorded in Vegas the same week 2Pac was in the hospital fighting for his life. 2Pac and Nas met in NY a few days prior, squashed their beef and Nas told 2Pac he would be in Vegas next week for the filming of the video. During the video shoot, Nas kept asking his manager for updates on 2Pac's health.
@@balle733 Yes, everyone's seen the footage of Nas stopping the concert to announce his death. But you're such an idiot and like to create you're own narrative. READ what I wrote, the video was recorded the same week he was in Vegas. Remember, Pac was shot and was in the hospital for 7 days. Again, these are not my words, I'm sharing what Nas stated in an interview. GTFOH you F'n troll!
@@roniangel3 Link? Did you twist Nas's interview into one of your m*ma's Pac fantasies. This song was released as a single in October, Pac had already passed. Clown.
This world is unjust. We should not come here after Nas passes to call him the GOAT. The pictures painted, wordplay, flow, poetry is flawless. Not repeating bars, every line is something different, making a whole song interesting, completely detailed. Nas is the greatest rapper of all time for real.
@Big D I don't care what these haters say or anybody says NAS IS AND WILL FOREVER BE A LEGEND in the rap game. People have right to their own opinion critics and fans who love Nas like myself and those who hate him
I know right what happened to all the great music directors from the 90s. Hype was one of the biggest one and I remember a Joseph Kahn he directed a lot of videos in the 90s as well like Brandy & Monica "boy is mine".
I was in secondary school when I first heard this song. Till date, the trackmasters beat and the flow still blows my mind to bits. Nas to me is still the greatest (honourable mention 2pac, Kool G Rap, Rakim, JayZ, KRS1, Biggie). For me, it was always Nas, the flow, the way the words melted into these beats, the lyrics, the intelligent storytelling, witty lines. Only a genius mind can conceive this. Long live Nas.
Thank you for once not putting Eminem on that list I’m so tired of seeing Eminem in that list when he doesn’t belong there, great list though for sure but I would add Q Tip just bc I like him
@@richhoops2413 Kurupt had the hard umbrella under famed Snoop/Dre/Nate Dogg/Warren G...but if u break down "NY NY", on Dogg Food...u know his shit went!
You're 💯right BUT when it comes to many beats I beg to differ. Because of many beats many shifted away from Nas greatness. The TRUE listener's ear knew his bars were🔥. But for those who peeped the beat first never got to see the outcome of that 🔥track
Nas is the greatest rapper of this era and he still killing it today that says a whole lot only artist from the 90's that still drop hit albums and all his songs bang and he does it with timeless storytelling give this man his flowers rite now he the dopest rapper alive especially since Pac and Big gone and we no longer get music from Rakim and Kool G.Rap.
Why are y'all comparing 2pac and Nas? Both did their own part on this beat with different styles, and it should stay that way instead of trying to make one like the other. Let two fuckin legends be two fuckin legends.
apparently nas was supposed to meet pac in vegas because he was shooting this video while pac was to attend the tyson fight. they squashed it in NY and were supposed to talk about actually making music together. would've been crazy if pac made a cameo in this
I used to have this cassette tape in 96. I would go visit my Grandma in Macon, Ga, borrow her giant hoop-ride, smoke a j and bump this while I just cruised around town. This album is like family to me, still slick in 2021!!
This video was PURE 1990s 💯. You got Nas; Kenya Moore (she was on so many Blacks shows and music videos back then); the mafioso/mob lifestyle was HUGE on TV, movies, and in rap back then; and of course filming stuff in downtown Las Vegas.
This is absolutely, hands down, by far the #1 best music video of all of ask time ... I remember sing this video fit the first ever when i was about 10 or 11 and thinking to myself "wow, this video is of the hook" ... ESPECIALLY since Casino has been my favorite movie
I don't know what it is about Nas' music videos from the the early days, it's not very fancy or great with visual effects, but they have this charm which almost no one can match.
Sitting on my front porch at 45. Sipping Martel Cordon Blue smoking on a Cuban cigar, admiring my matching pearl Lexus . I came a long way since 96. Peace to all the O.G. s who made. One Love, one Life, So there can only be one King.
Nas is an emcee's emcee. Nimble voice? Check. Gripping tales? Check. Concept songs? Check. Classic albums? Check. An exemplary commitment to integrity.? Check, check, check. Whether rapping about project windows or fried chicken, Nas has a way of bringing pictures to life. He’s weathered the vagaries of the music industry and maintained a dedicated fan base. All his albums have been certified gold or platinum. That's a remarkable feat for a man not known for Top 40 hits. Nas is the greatest emcee of all time. Essential: "Illmatic"
it's NICE to have lived on the right side of the 90s. I was there and the sky was blue, every month classic hits and albums, girls wore less make-up too.
Nas had the cleanest fade in the game for 20+ years now 😅
Drake fade is better but yeah, Nas is good for not having the baldness at his age
Signature fade with the bevel blade
@@maxprudhomme6016 bro you must be a youngster. I've been rocking a fade since 15 because Nas inspired it.

So we just gon ignore Boosie's fade?

I feel 2Pac could've made a cameo appearance on here, to show the general public and hip hop fans they're cool with each other now
Nas was in Long Island New York performing when 2pac passed. Stop lying. Ed Lover and Nas was on stage when they heard the news. It's on UA-cam

That’s what I said. Same thing with al Pacino
Just explained a Virgo pretty much.
Facts
We can't.. Because jay z is... He is the second goat though
This track and all eyez on me are the same sample, they are both top tier listens
This was an era when music videos were actually good.
An era where music itself was good, period.
there was still a lot of crap too.. let's not forget da dip and all that bullshit
+Sadiq Misallati tru there was some terrible music out, but the whack produces and performers were drowned out by the talent...
I know right and went along with the video.
1Million Eyes
This era not so bad tho.
Nas deserves a life time achievement award for his contribution to Rap music
Illmatic 9 tracks. All classic. Nuff said
Wordup
He the MF greatest!!! Period!!!!
A Pac and Nas album would have been Fire 🔥
Epic 💯
Exactly said...what dope their jams wanna be.
All was planned but unfortunately pac couldn't make it 😕 😪
All Eyes on Me X Street Dreams
It Was Written was and still one of my favorite Nas Albums I feel like Nas levitated on this album.
Kenya Moore looks great as the LEADING lady in the video - Absolutely gorgeous...
legend has it that nas was listening to Illmatic cd which caused the car to blow up
23dlc 'cause too fire
You IWW
The Buddha munk's in your trunk
Turn the bass up! 🤣
😂😂
Shit was the bomb yo
Nas was flossin so hard during this era that's why they started hating and trashing him.
ATHI-Enkosi MAPUKATA True Fact I feel the same way
Yeah they were hating on nas escobar.
@My penis is unbelievably small but yep nastradamus was the trashiest album nas did it
@@draganpetreski7706 true. It wasn't his best album but at least he can rap better than half of these so called mumble rapper clowns nowadays

Kenya Moore was absolutely stellar in this role!! 🤩👑💐
his story telling is bananas.
Hype Williams had videos on LOCK in the 90's lol. His style is so distinctive.
Looks like he just watched Casino
jabrown1978 You can tell he directed Belly
I know right what happened to all the great music directors from the 90s. Hype was one of the biggest one and I remember a Joseph Kahn he directed a lot of videos in the 90s as well like Brandy & Monica "boy is mine".
jabrown1978 a mill plus for a video though, got get me wrong, he was a genius, but the cost to have hype direct a music video was 😮
Music video seems to be based on casino the movie with Robert di Niro. Classic
Never knew Kenya Moore was in this video !! Def a classic
Nas is the greatest rapper of all time

Tupac, Eminem, Rakim, Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar, Big L, ect >>>>>>

Nas after illmatic is very underrated
Thought you were going to put Kurrupt on that. He's definitely underrated

Nas is the GOAT.
All I could hear was "I bet you got it twisted, you don't know who to trust..." 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Is there a song similar to Ghetto Quran that speaks about street dudes?
... so many playas hatin niggas tryna like us
Nas is the greatest of all time. he has everything: Lyrics, Beats, a great voice, great music videos, there’s nothing not to like.
Exactly. But haters gone hate
Kendrick also has everything of this things
Yeah a great Tupac beat you mean***

The common person doesnt know good music if its staring them in the face. You really gotta do some digging to find the best music
we lack smart and mature audience that listens to real hiphop filled with poetry and knowledge

They had bigger budgets back then
Depends on who u watch
Nobody

Nas and Jay Z are still on top in 2019. Rip Big and Pac and all the fallen rappers! East coast!
Thanks to Suge Knight and Puff Dady, their business politics got these rappers killed who just wanted to rap.
Man. This album came out on my 16th birthday - 7/2/96
