[@BASEBALL67KING]

Nas was only 20 years old with so much knowledge and who could ever believe that he dropped out of school in 8th or 9th grade. Nas is Half Man Half Amazing

Same story with biggie

[@RoyaltyGotHits]

He was just 17 when he wrote it and he put it out when he was 18 so that makes this album so much more impressive.

[@BASEBALL67KING]

shotcaller2roy correct lol he wasn't even 20, he was 17-18 years old.... Even more mind blowing . In my opinion Nas is the best Emcee to ever spit on a mic. Respect to all other emcees tho.

How many inmates did he write this letter to? haha! Love that last verse - what a genius!

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

Only two people. The last 2 verses were to the same guy. The music video was honestly spot on with the song.

[@itsmarsnoel]

Unbelievable Wordplay ⛽⛽⛽🔥

[@neiko9251]

I remember holding my fathers hand as we walked to Blockbuster hearing this playing from people’s cars, lol he dressed just like Nas in this video too lol. I miss the 90’s. I’m from Queens btw 🗽

[@FruityHachi]

this video nas should re-upload, this time without censoring

[@Tremaineswife]

This song eats 🔥🔥🔥

[@gameANDchange]

It's crazy that he was so young when he made this. 20 year olds now who make music, especially rap, are so different

[@neverhungryagain2187]

They more advanced now

[@desmondmays3028]

If you watched the movie Belly that last verse was in the movie when he went back to the Projects and hollad at lil man's.... Now how many people peeped that?????? That's Deep

[@emilioestevez3469]

Was reading in the comments to see if anybody mentioned this.

[@ShalomLittle]

@@emilioestevez3469 that part!!!

[@robbylebotha]

Just rewatched Belly 2 days ago, maaaaan that movie was terrible 😂, Shottas and Paid In Full did it way better. Its still a classic just for existing tho, and I'm in Africa and still haven't seen Nas... ol lying ass

[@swa99a10]

Facts

[@dannycabrera521]

I just caught that Reference from belly 😭😭😭

[@Tripp2136]

A great tip beat

[@JayJudah2k]

NAS is a GOD

[@tyronefowler7314]

The third verse >>

[@kekesmooth5618]

Tyrone Fowler entire song is 🔥 but yes that third verse was incredible.

[@user-tk7rl6hw6c]

Watch Belly

[@shaun2timez655]

Real long and important

[@DANNY10MADRID]

where does the 3rd verse start and end?

[@Gretev1]

The group saying „One Love“ at 1:45 sounds so good they should have put it in the recorded version.

[@ILLBO8]

True

[@nellyluscious]

Summer 94!!! My shit right here!!! Miss the 90s I swear!!

[@nellyluscious]

***** The freaknik! You took it back!! I was a young girl on the basketball courts running with my friends!

[@ransomreacts]

+NellyBelle oh lord!!!!! ik u 2 didn't say freaknik that was my shit 😂😂😂

[@Jason900Anderson]

check my song Gang Related out its the same feels as this 90s vibes story telling you won't be disappointed I swear

[@Jason900Anderson]

+NellyBelle you won't be disappointed if you check out my song Gang Related it's the same 90s vibes with the story telling if you don't like it comments and let me know

[@nellyluscious]

Jay Anderson OK I'll give it a check!!

[@KingNez89]

This song and this video is literally like the pure raw form of what hip hop really is.... This song makes me feel to my core man and the video is just pure nostalgic magic.... It's truly sad to see the state hip hop is in....

[@mochamartian3189]

That 3rd verse 🙌🏽

[@deathrow8286]

Nas is the greatest rapper ever still 2020.

[@MasterP..]

This ain’t even a song this man literally told a story over a beat 🔥🔥

[@robertomachadobarbosa4206]

All I gotta say is Queens 🙌🏽

[@ToneKeys]

Nas is the greatest emcee ever. His longevity in the game is unmatched. Bro wordplay is on another level.

[@JaemanEdwards]

Neither statement is correct. Biggie is the undisputed king. Even Nas himself would say so. And there are many MCs who have longer longevity.

[@ActLikeABitch]

​@@JaemanEdwards biggie ? 2 album ? You capping so much bullsh*t

[@hornyconvict]

​@JaemanEdwards love Nas but Big is my favorite

[@ActLikeABitch]

​@@JaemanEdwards fuck biggie😂. Not even close

[@gc0video]

Despite the bowdlerization, this is an awesome time capsule, and straight poetry. The storytelling is so vivid: you can feel the ties the characters have, the way time passes quickly in prison, and the high stakes of these simple letters and conversations.

[@ryannolan2890]

I love that line…”guess who got shot in da dome piece? Jeromes niece, on her way home from Jones Beach…

[@akraft1630]

the 3rd Verse alone wins againts anything that's out today. nas singlehandledly explains a lot of the problems affecting young black people even today and gives the most important timeless advice: rise above and watch out for the cops
