This is how rap is done!!! The 90s were the pinnacle of Hip Hop!!

[@scinnyc]

This was filmed in an era when a lot of dudes was getting their heads blown off in NYC, and this video brings back memories of the tension that filled the air back thin. This is classic Nas, teenage thug vibes, gangster shit! Salute!

[@traviscarter1023]

It still like that now in NYC

[@Kalashnikingz47]

Yep, I remember. I'm not from NYC but B-more and D.C. was the same along with anywhere you found crack.

Is it just me, or do u guys think that nas' best verses are the last ones of the song like on this track, one love, ny state of mind and one Mic

[@BertCandy]

+matthew bernett yeah man he really knew how to write a song that built lyrically

[@KaizerMan]

Yeah. Even though i'm not as good as a rapper I can relate to that too. You usually have to ease into the song for the first couple bars of the first verse and it just ends up that the later verses are more in the swing of things and if you're writing the last verses last then you're more in the zone and with your creative juices flowing than with the first verses.

[@jaysteel2483]

Just wish his production would have been on the same level his lyrics. He changed the game with Illmatic.

Legendary. Nas was already threatening Hip Pop, the drama that great artist is that he was too far ahead of his time. Nas is a legend, the QueensBridge is the nectar, the source. The east coast is too dangerous and definitely too talented. Message from France.

I'm tired with that constant censorship in that songs. I'd rather there were no movie videos in those playlists but instead only audio tracks but with all cussing and socially inappropriate words. Cause you can't listen to it with all those "mutes". It's to the point of songs being unlistenable.

+T-Dub hip hop fell off around 2004 it's obvious. Guys like Kendrick Lamar, Joe Cole and all them are a mere shadow of the long line up of skilled rappers that used to be.
