[@C.P.Brown_]

@@addictedonhiphop & the negativity from the so called hip hop fans is unreal on Nas's album. I've been arguing/defending "Kings Disease" since it's release, which is 5 days now. It just proves what Nas said some years ago which some commercialized artist took offense to. Hip Hop is dead. In this era, lyrics doesn't matter anymore. Any & everything is now being classified as hip hop as long you make a couple of lines rhyme on a beat. & if it's a club bangin beat, all you have to do now is just fart over the mfka & it's "THAT'S MY SONG", becoming a top 5 billboard charter.

[@malarie532]

I’ve seen him many, many times. In my top 10 for sure. I’ve only seen him disappoint once. He didn’t finish or get through one song. He played like 30 seconds to a minute of a track tops, got everyone hyped then just cut the music and rambled. He wasn’t “teaching” like normal he was just cutting and screaming over and over. After talking for two mins - he’d play a classic for 30 seconds and cut it. We were so confused and disappointed and I’ve never seen an artist do that before.... still one of my ultimate favs tho and he can rock the staaaage

He had 5 albums plus the collaboration album thug life volume 1 he has the best discography out of any rapper, and nobody worked as hard or as fast as him and he has more catalog and category than Nas rakim and all these other niggas, and put out better music and had a better career than all.

Facts! I'm from the Cali, but always loved East coast hip hop, especially boom bap, and was an aspiring graf writer in high school, so I had an admiration for crews like TATS and FX. Dope music video. 🔥 track. Legends!

[@MalibongweNombande]

True

[@vernonjohnson1198]

Lead by the iconic and timeless Rakim the God Emcee

[@UFOsAreRealArea51]

Yo! I swear to you....these are my top 3 rappers of all time and it just so happened that they are on this very same track!!!!

[@filthyswit]

+Shawn Johnson Nas over Chuck D and BDK?

[@UFOsAreRealArea51]

filthyswit i am afraid so...for me anyway. 😀

[@michaelfrazier1151]

+filthyswit chuck D is overrated

[@filthyswit]

Michael Frazier How's that? Because he doesn't get involved in rap battles? Because he's more concerned with telling the truth rather than just trying to sound like a lyrical genius?

[@michaelfrazier1151]

He's good I know he is but he's boring

[@washitawmoor8657]

Real Hip Hop. Rakim , Nas , KRS 1

[@MADDLION247]

A song with a Hook.... and Lyrics you can understand..... Only The True School Hip Hop can achieve this!!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪. SALUTE!!

[@swaynine]

No disrespect to Kanye, thanks for putting this track together, but I’m so happy to hear this version without his verse on it.

[@YesImJoeKing]

Yo Krishnabulkin, I'm happy for you, and I'm going to let you finish. But Kanye West had one of the best verses on this track of all time! Of all time!

[@kevinjohnson1958]

Kanye West verse was terrible.

[@lukecimino40]

Imagine saying fuck Kanye but liking this track. Lol Kanye brought them together to do it and always paid homage

[@TheBlkac1]

Why isn't Kanye West on this? What happened 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@uploadvidz4490]

[@maxgomez4296]

Sick ass beat .!! Thts for sure .'

[@edmemphis6974]

When they DO make the Whip you like Ya CHIPS aint right, by the Time you CAN Afford it, The CAR ain't important

[@lesdrew4633]

Straight from the essence of hip hop at its core!! Hell fire mc's takes me back to my youth when this was taking place on the east coast. Creativity and uniqueness was encouraged and jacking styles was frowned upon. Needless to say I still listen to all the classics because there timeless...

[@davidalexander829]

For an ole school like me this will go into regular rotation with the rest of Rakim and KRS-1. CLASSIC

[@telonharmon827]

David Alexander got that going in heavy rotation too, off the flip😉

[@Roger-ci1ie]

just added!

[@KINGKarlemagne]

Dope! Rakim smoked them all on this one.

[@M360-w6o]

KING Karlemagne Nas’ message was deeper

[@bryanheater2730]

Timeless, so age don't count in the booth when your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth. Save the music ya'll!!!

[@MillyMill87]

Why rakim look like uncle Aaron from spider-man enter the multiverse? Fuckin dope!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 rakim is the true definition of a MC,he is hip hop

[@MrAirtyme]

Mt. Rushmore of Hip Hop

[@Otondabeat]

[@airmerky7110]

[@chozenknight260]

[@dawolf4274]

David Cruz Why not ?! Not missed that's for sure

[@Noxshus]

[@tjoa88]

[@w.a.mproductionsinc9340]

Three of the BEST indeed

[@DwarnnayMills]

nothings changed, Ra just on a different level..

[@gentbar7296]

Dwarnnay mean akim ?

[@faktumstream1beatz335]

I like how kanye just got banned from the track

[@jons5658]

Faktum Stream1Beatz When he signed with adidas. This song was made for Nike to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Air Force 1s.

[@omgbasedgawd]

Jon S this song was made before kanye was even on nike or adidas

[@jons5658]

omgbasedgawd I know. But it was made for Nike. Hear all the AF1 references in the song. Kanye got taken off the track years later when he signed with adidas.

[@omgbasedgawd]

Jon S u dont know shit this video was uploaded while he was still with nike

[@jons5658]

omgbasedgawd So? He was edited out. Why you mad?

[@RealWallaceSteeler]

so glad there's no kanye on this one

[@prencesst1971]
