nas might be the most important person to all minorities in New York City from the 90's.

And modern day, because it's just as bad

[@imakemusique]

20-year old and already such a lyrical maturity and mastery. Legend. And Pete Rock, one of the best.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

The 90s were such a surreal time. A renaissance; art coming in from every background, every city, every color. The last real golden age we really had. Everyone I know who lived through it has nostalgia for it, including myself. A time too good to last.

[@talk2robb]

Music producers of the 90s were really on top of their game. They figured out had to make good music. This generation should be ashamed 😢

[@nbamixtapes9724]

Hands down , The Best Hip Hop Track ever created

[@poloregal]

Lol

[@hylianwarrior5288]

NBA Mixtapes That's a little bit far-fetched. Maybe the best beat, but certainly not song. What makes you think this?

[@hylianwarrior5288]

Shinnybuttnerd No, I just don't agree with that statement.

[@himotaikarainen]

nas is like. is better imo

[@ismaeelzaid5337]

Hylian Warrior Tbh, imo this beat is nowhere near the best beat. I think the best beat is from shook ones part 2. That is just legendary.

[@Hayyden]

One of the greatest hip hop songs of all time.

[@LaCheleWallace]

This is my favorite Nas song of all time. It just feels good inside. I know Illmatic inside and out.

[@KungaMatata]

Me too. All 9 tracks are special to me, can't pick a favorite honestly

[@LaCheleWallace]

Kunga Sagar This is true, but overall, Imma have to roll with Represent.

[@KungaMatata]

LaCheleWallace Great song. Alright I guess I would go with It Ain't Hard To Tell, last track

[@estebaniscool15]

Represent , memory lane

[@gamemast15r]

LaCheleWallace I love Represent and The World is Yours but Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park) gotta love it's laid back feel

[@newera5238]

I'm up at 12:48am with my 8 year old daughter. She is so mesmerized by the videos that I am playing! She can't even take her eyes off the screen...lol. It's summertime so I decided to give her a hip-hop lesson.

[@rusty9008]

Such a simple jazz underbase but yet so intricate. Illmatic for its time and Nas's state of mind growing up in Queen's Bridge is phenomenal. It's one of the best hip hop albums of all time.

New York has the best rappers and lyricists ever.. nothing like New York ( east coast ) rap

[@Rahim.ali80]

Terrible take how you leave out cities that birthed Legendary spittas ie Philly(my city & Styles P Jada considers us the home of the spitters) Jersey ATL Houston Chicago Cali New Orleans Memphis Up State, NY Virginia etc. but back up top you most definitely can’t just say NY as East Coast rap & leave out Philly & Jersey that’s straight blasphemy.

[@LuffyTheKing0fThePirates]

This song will never get old, a timeless masterpiece!

[@ancientsoultribe]

I can never get tired of listening to this - it's an infinite classic with the Ahmad Jamal sample, Pete Rock's crazy production, and Nas' magnificent lyrics. The best song ever created in this lifetime, HANDS DOWN!

[@traviscarter1023]

Facts Queen salute to Nas only being 20 years old in before his prime years really. He was ahead of his time this song still get me in my zone he was a young Miles Davis at this point this is one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time shout out to Pete Rock.

[@travisharris8269]

Definitely bro my favorite hip hop song ever

[@ewong8580]

Pete Rock is a genius

“While all the old folks pray to Jesus, soaking their sins in trays Of holy water, odds against Nas are slaughter Thinking a word best describing my life to name my daughter My strength, my son, the star, will be my resurrection Born in correction, all the wrong shit I did, he'll lead a right direction” 🔥🔥

This track is the personification of Hip Hop

[@dbpowers24]

This song is one with no expiration date. When you think of this genre, it's Nas and then everyone else. I love a lot of rappers but Nas is simply on a different and more elevated artistic plane.

[@Yobachi2007]

This shit is so lyrical, I'm still just really figuring out little shit he's talking about with in the song, and I've been listening to this since it came out '94.

[@masquerade3979]

xenophontiacicidationarionism Genius is the wikipedia of rap lyrics..everybody can share their interpretations of rap lyrics. It's basically a huge collection of people's thoughts and Nas himself has an account on Genius so I don't see the problem with the site
