Masta Ace - "Story Of Me" Feat. Pearl Gates, Denez Prigent (Official Music Video)

[@migrantson]

"Still here. Somehow." You get to a point in life where that sums up about everything. Long live Ace.

[@gregoleonard6690]

The brothers so underrated. We about the same age. Still one of my fav lyricist. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@evancenjinju6607]

masta ace is one of the most true m.c I've ever seen. His integrity is unquestionable. Never betrayed hip hop

[@alejandrososa3472]

yah he's one of my favs, too

[@PhflyDan1]

Ah WORD!

[@ethelberht985]

his in my top 5 hip hop and rap artist, 100% one of the best

[@dejano.5637]

I can only 100% agree with this, went to all of his 3 shows in the Netherlands cause I'm a die hard Ace fan, met him afterwards one of the realest most humble rappers alive, still the best moment of my life when his last show of the tour was in the Netherlands and afterwards when talking to Ace he told me he had a gift for me cause I knew all his lyrics and he recognized me from the past shows, he told me he had a gift for me and Ace gave me his cap. Still cherish that moment to this day.

[@johnnyguolker2276]

Agree

[@kitsunegiblaze8022]

Masta Ace has a beautiful soul, heart and mind.

[@PacificBruva]

Most underrated, Most realest MC, Listening to his tunes all the way from East africa, Somaliland.

[@soafiavyjunior7045]

HIP HOP SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME MAN PERIOD !!! this is beautiful

[@exxxorcist7698]

Somtimes i listen to The Masta and think am i thr only one that knows masta is the best ever??? Lol. So amazing yo

[@Eziokilla9595]

I will shed many a tear when Ace passes. He is fundamentally one of the rappers who made me fall in love with Hip-Hop music.

[@JesusWonAlready4Sure]

Cmon man your making me tear up too early brother!

[@phraze410]

The real best we keep alive and teach our kids to keep them alive

[@lewisgilfillan9237]

I shed a tear when Nipsey of passed cause I've been following him since 2011

[@staygold15]

Im right there with you

[@SBKinectics]

​@phraze410 Word! Ridin' with my 15 yr old listening to a Breuklyn Story. Then take him back to Take a Look Around and now he want em all.

[@saveriopersichilli1129]

He's what the kids nowadays call, a real one

[@91Definite]

That mural! RIP Sean P we miss you! Masta Ace is a true legend and the beat is like heaven in ya ear!

[@gregc7699]

Maybe the most consistent mc ever lived?

[@Mick-h7i]

✔️👌❤️

[@hispanik2085]

Masta Ace is one of the greatest over 30 year relevant, like Edo G❤

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Beautiful makes me emotional about my own life..I’m 52 now, when I started listening to hip hop as a kid with dreams in the 80s..They didn’t work out but I’m still here..

[@charlesm.7573]

This song is so deep and the beat is incredible.

[@Arszawin00]

My favourite MC. Salute to legend!

[@axMf3qTI]

Knowing Ace has MS really changes the meaning of the "as long my body is strong" line. Anyone noticed the throwback to his first album cover in this video? The beach, him on a pile of sand with the same buildings in the background as the cover.

[@leonardgreen3643]

Ace is definitely one of the Greatest rappers who's doesn't get talked about enough. Real hip hop heads know!!!

[@brentdonhauser]

Ace will always go down as the best storyteller in Hip Hop in my book. His music is deep and actually has relevance to everyone’s life’s.

[@user-fn4mi6hq9d]

Classic Video. I'm not saying that because I know Ace on a personal level. This is a Time Capsule of an Outstanding career of my favorite rapper.

[@salvatoresilvestri6514]

So deep and sincere. You are one of the greatest rapper alive, no doubt. Keep on making music!

[@Mosashi_EX]

Salvatore Silvestri 💯

[@hkay93]

Whether he realises it or not, he's a truly good role model. A humble, hard working human being. That he's achieved so much regardless of MS or any other things that life has thrown simply adds to my respect for him. I wish more young'uns knew about him, but I'll keep trying to show Ace's work to anyone that will listen to my ramblings.

[@llxFuRiiOuSxll]

Im not crying, there's just something in my eye man!

[@fatihocean]

i feel you ..

[@Woulacipamoua]

FURIIOUSS same shit

[@jayfreedom1592]

In mine too bruh

[@sabelomkhize7823]

I feel you...same here

[@JesusWonAlready4Sure]

Yes bro!!

[@trentyates418]

Since day one, Masta kept it real, he will forever be real hip hop

[@Baltimorehop]

I'm a come right out and say this. I HOPE, I'm not spoken down upon, disrespected or any other negative form of disapproval. This song, lyrically and musically, is quite possibly the greatest Hip Hop song in history. I can hear laughing but I'm dead ass serious. Ace did his fucking thing on this. I pray to God there's an instrumental to this. This is instantly Classic and will forever be timeless until the internet breaks. Thumbs the hell UP to this Masta-piece.

[@Baltimorehop]

Thank you.

[@00HoODBoy]

at the end of the Day if you think its the Best that is all that matters. i mean there are a Lot of shit opinions out there, why cant you have one thats Not even shit? People can Talk all they want, wont change shit Most of the time

[@Baltimorehop]

No doubt, but, this ONE time, I really want out people out there to think on this. Not give a snapshot opinion without listening to this gem. List to this man's lyrics then you listen to the singing track. This shit give me goosebumps. This is very similar to my personal life as well. TO me, this song is basically about, NOT selling out and staying committed to the Reels and the formula that made you who you are. We see these days, money and fame changes a lot of people, for the worse! It's okay if you change and mature but when you faken the funk, you done change the game and that ain't good, nah mean? I'm 51 and have seen a lot of them come and go in "Hip Hop."

[@00HoODBoy]

Baltimorehop i agree with you. not necessarily that its the best, but especially "just tryin to let you know, just wanna let you see, real is all i know, real is what i be" stuck with me ever since i heard these lines for the first time. i listen to this track probably every day, there is something about it that makes it greater than music and the essence greater than words.

[@hueyfinesse]

love the reaction of braindead em fans when i show them masta ace from way back in the day.

[@timy9197]

I honestly never heard masta ace rap like this until after Em came out. What songs did he do before his collab with Em in 96 where he had a style like this?

[@chrizoic]

Feel EM bit Redman style more. Ijs

[@kevanovic]

pure, deep, sincere, humble, top-tier hip hop..

[@zevlove]

This track always makes me feel some typaway...

[@TARRS1]

Masta Ace always reminds me why I fell in love and pursued hip hop when I did and why I do. The influence is real. S/o from Sacramento!

[@Baltimorehop]

Let me tell yall how deep I'm getting with this. I saw an interview with Ace about this track and he mentioned that, when it was in production, he was trying to come up with a sound similar to Marley Marl & Craig G's "Droppin' Science." Me being me, I played that scenario over and over in my head and I swear, if I were with a producer right now, I would have yall dropping to your knees over the sound that I'm thinking of. Just drop the Droppin Science track right over this... OMG... I would blend Craig G & Ace's then and now verses through the blend mix, drop the drum beat when the song vocal comes in and just let the music portion play thru that until the hook is done THEN come back in beat ONLY on both tracks and let their 48 bars spit to that then end it with the entire music versions bangin' out in instrumental to end the track out... That's a "REWIND" classic in my head if I've ever thought of one. My God...

[@bigkabuto]

Been to his show last Sunday. Was amazing, real fucking hiphop and the vibe was crazy. Awesome.

[@bigdaddyrakim]

The MOST consistently excellent MC (since '88) of all time spittin' that REAL that's missing in today's Hip Hop. More than grateful that one of the last great storytellers still drops jewels on us.

[@sud75]

This is what you call real music and meaningful lyrics. I don't understand how mumble rap gets million and millions of views.

[@brentdonhauser]

The 38 people who disliked this song, probably listen to 69 lil Wayne and think it’s the best rap ever. Binary Stars said it best. “There’s Hip Hop than Hip Pop” all this crap today is Hip Pop.

[@V2Gmultimedia]

DOPE ALBUM!!!! GOOD STUFF! INSPIRATIONAL!

[@mhc12k]

Best work of this man's 3 decade career.

[@Sam-bm6sw]

I agree with previous comments, that is a classic is the making! Lyrics on this track are moving and says a lot about this artist, that is in my view one of the greatest MC's since the birth of Hip Hop. I have been enjoying his music since the first album and letter the better etc. It doesn't matter how many views this gets (IMO) as if he touches a few hundred thousand its better than a million people, who will forget the song the next day. Thanks Masta Ace for decades of great music! Appo

[@alejandrososa3472]

one of the best tracks ever heared of

[@reveu1]

United by the beat. Truest words in hip hop. Real hip hop.

[@okerekerufus]

To you sir, i pour my heart of the very most sincere enigmatic love from Nigeria. Masta Ace, i thank you for this, as often i feel special after having a taste of your music when ever am privilaged to. May God bless you for the efforts you put into these masterpiece battlefield hiphop songs you always seem to make. Peace.

[@Hermann_Hesse]

Masta Ace, come back to Poland! We miss you :)

WITAJ BRAT! 🇺🇸❤🇮🇩

[@Tmartinez114]

I'm going to my 2nd Masta Ace show this Sunday in Newport, RI. I can't wait to cry to this song (I know I'm going to cry). Been a fan since 2005 when I was 13. I'm grateful that I listened to Disposable Arts and A Long Hot Summer at a young age, helped mold me into the man I am today!

[@Retire80already]

Baltimorehop. Well put. Beautiful track. No one speaks on it.

[@drtak4512]

Humble clean no bling bling and highly skilled.

[@lionsheart8]

Oh tune, when you think real hip hop is dead Masta Ace just comes with that real shit to remind you why you still have faith in the art.
