NY Rappers in the 90s were majority, very much far from ignorant....Nas came from the same "school of thought" as Rakim, Tragedy Khadafi, AZ, Talib Kweli and other rappers that were influenced by the 5%ers, NOI, Malachi Z. York, and others int he NYC black conscious community in the later 80s and early 90s. It was street niggas that were "kicking knowledge" and sharing information with each other about self, while still going out robbing and drug dealing for tax free money.. Hip Hop was all about knowledge....even Smack URL the battle rap league, stands for "S.treets M.usic A.rt C.ulture K.nowledge". It was definitely an interesting era in Hip Hop when there genuinely real substance and profound poetry in raps--while still maintaining a hood appeal, and attracting real gangstas to listen.

There's something about this track that makes me tear up a lil. I guess it reminds me of the 1990's (with the boy band symphony), for the time it was released was in the heat of a lot of confusing beef, whilst at the same time, the genre itself was also at its peak. When Nas said Hip Hop is Dead, he never meant it literally. He meant the culture behind what the music spoke had died; the streets had changed since the 1990's, thus, from what artists were seeing in physical form was changing the lyrical form of their music. The streets had become a little less raw, and from this song, I see it as the last triumph of 'real street lyrical talk'. One Love.

This was a fly ass video. I took it for granted when I was a kid. I always liked it but didnt realize how good we had it. This song got heavy spins back then. Nas and Kellz when he was in his prime musically

This is one of the best hip hop tracks ever made. The instrumental was perfect, the lyrics are perfect, and the hook was perfect. These are the two best artist in their respective genres as well. Great music.

Watching this at 3:00 am East coast Va time. NAS just invested in a casino. Full circle to this video. Puffy broke the internet. I played this song about five times this week after not listening for a few years (big mistake) but i rediscovered it and things brightened up for me lovely. Thank the Lord.

I'm so glad that so many are finally waking up to NaS and his supreme story, style, lyrics, tracks ... Hundreds of classics await the ones that browse his history....NaS changed my life.

***** I'm sorry, but I disagree with you, Nas and Tupac had two completely different styles and metrics. One can not speak of plagiarism This is one of the best songs of Nas! ;)
