30 years strong shout out to Queensbridge happy birthday Illmatic.
@@traviscarter1023 No Question
I’m 17 and have been into 90s hip hop for a while. All my mates call it crap but they’ve never given it a chance. Respect this genre. It’s art.
sad bro your generation sucks
I’m 17 been bumping this shit for 10+ years nas was too hard
time for some new friends
I still have the cassette tape
what they listening to?
Nas is New York
JuventusScelta Divita no one but ny and the magnetic area will understand. white black hispanic this culture raised from the gravel.... Hope every ones doing REAL GOOD in 2019
Nas is from my blessed NY. On some real shit though, Nas is universal!
Nas is life
Prodigy is from canada then ... -.-
Supreme team
DJ Premier killed this beat
PREEMO is pure fire.
,As always
True fire
@FuckingHateTwilight I like that! Motivated to push yourself to achieve a better version of yourself!
Idk if a bad premier beat exists
RIP DMX. But let's give Nas his flowers whilst he still here!!! He a real hop hop legend
FACTS we need to appreciate Nas while he still here.
Fr but rip DMX
The GOAT Nas 🐐🔥❤️
Nas always been in my top 5 here’s the list in no order
Jay z
Nas
Dmx
Eminem
50 cent
Yeah hop hop legend
This Came Out In 94 This Still Fire in 24
Agree! Nas has got an ear.
Talk about thinking outside the box. Sampled this from a 1924 silent movie which is now 100 years old.
Facts
Nas sounded like some kind of street hero on this track.
Street Savior
because the beat is magical. Some Prince of Persia type shit lmao. That's what makes Illmatic so fuckin dope - the crazy ass beats (and Nas murders them of course).
There is a heavy but totally real quality to each of his verses, and an urgency too..probably more anger and rage and righteous knowledge all encassed and compressed within the entirety of the whole track, in response to the situation he and his crew and all the people living within QueensBridge were experiencing...this track and the whole album is how hip hop is meant to be done right done well with flawless execution on the lyrical front on the production front on the sequencing front....sound of the whole entire album sounds perfect too, with each track having its own unique sonic quality...one of the greatest works of music ever created ever conceived ever crafted and layed out on tape, that's for sure....
@@kevinscholfield2037 Well said playa
He is a street hero. After KRS destroyed MC Shan, Queens was on life support. Illmatic put Queens back on the map as an important place for hip-hop. Nas represented his hood hard in this album.
I love the first line. “Straight up, shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle”
2022 VISION BIG FACTS 😎
right & dope how Fabolous flipped it on ‘Gone For The Winter’💪🏾🔥
every line from this to the last line is just perfect..damn
No cap.. telling it how it is
The hardest way to open up a rap song! 💯💯💯💯💯
Big ups to the music supervisors working on the Ozark soundtrack. Including this was a raw power move. Props.
Exactly
Love it
Fr!!!

was thinking the same watching Ozark brilliant 👏
After almost 30 years later, this song is still unbeatable
It was uploaded six years ago.,,
@@WyWid1994*
@@WyWidIt was uploaded to youtube by Nas in 2017 but the song was released on the album “Illmatic” in 1994 and has been on other streaming platforms like itunes, spotify, apple music, etc for longer
Indeed it is,if only I would've been a 90s baby to experience this in its full glory, my generation of hip hop is ok, but 90s rap is just an experience
@@WyWidbro this was uploaded to youtube then... this was Nas' debut
This will always be a timeless classic
Anthony Utah My favorite song from that album
fucken oath
Insane song nas is legend.
Absolutely , all the Queen's bridge rappers are amazing
100%
them youngins need to hear real hip hop
XXXTENTACION look at your name 😂

XXXTENTACION 😂😂😂
XXXTENTACION mordern rap is shit
MoregankFreeman Yeah underground is good but like those "rappers" that can't rhyme, have shitty names, shitty songs, and look stupid
Your a g if you still bump to this
Gz up
Gz up, freeze up ⚔️
The most under-appreciated and underrated track on Illmatic. Straight classic 💯
Illmatic is still underrated even though its probably best hip hop album
@@stefan5430 this album is not underated
@@MichaelTurner856 nah i wanted to say that it is not that popular as like dr dre's the 2001 or eminem's albums even if it should be (no dissrespect towards dre and em)
One of my favorite songs on Illmatic❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been listening to hip hop music since I was 12, now I’m 17 and Illmatic still go hard asf
Been listening for over 30 years, still a great track!
Old school hip hop had AMAZING instrumentals. Not only are the bars packed to the brim but the beats are awesome, too. The low fidelity fuzz on the chill drum samples, the bass buzzing in the background, the push for synths, pianos, and woodwind type instruments- it's so good to get lost in
illmatic fresh as released yesterday
ZzapZzarap fuckin rights
this album is the definition of perfection
💯
1000% agreed
fax but his mistake was making the perfect 1st album making him not be able to top it
@@faint8256 cough cough It was Written
Magic too
Nas had phases. Street, conscious, poetical, grown man. He never was one way too much either. All his albums came together with all these elements. The greatest of all time.
Nas is King
24 years later, still bumpin' this...shout out to the real hip hop heads....
Yessir👐 n shout out to u
2022 VISION STILL REPRESENT MY PEOPLE 😎
We Still Here 💯
@@shawnstone1164 ooh yeah! Representing to infinity!
Same, brother.
Nas has no beef, no drugs, the man is just a hip hop legend
Bluestar T apart from jay z and weed ???
Laurie P You're absolutely right but jay z and nas are cool now which I love and everybody smokes weed, the shit is gonna be legal in Canada.
Bluestar T what do you mean by "no drugs"?
Bluestar T nas has had a lot of beefs, jay z and 50 cent to name a few
Thishaan 2pac , Jay. Beef shit doesnt make anyone a GOAT. I must say nas is the GOAT because he has the best album of all time and the fact that he has amazing lyrical power
The defining track of the whole album for me. It puts the entire album ahead of itself in a very cinematic way.
Today is 30th anniversary... Happy Birthday "Illmatic"! 😉
thank you god for NAS
One nas verse or line outweighs everything that is drake
No problem 😇
NAS best of all time
He's the goat
you're thanking nas for nas
Best album of all time, hip hop god !
XD
Hell yeah
Bratino moja...❤️
Lol
Lol nah!
Those “REPRESENT” chants so fire
Premo in an interview said, Nas that day came with about twenty of his hood homies...and they were chanting represent
Just watched Preemo's episode of So Wassup? where he explains how they changed the beat, and how it was recorded with a bunch of Nas' homies in the studio booth. All the background vocals were not scripted.
Preemo would have to tell them to keep quiet while Nas was rhymin
@@RayzorBlade aa
@@RayzorBlade That wasn't at the same time
you could tell it was a bunch of streets kids , just having fun...all real vibes
Nas for president
Half man Half Amazing
no doubt
That’s what he’s like
Nas is like the Afrocentric asian
Best era of hip hop 1988-2008
93-96 that's all you need
Facts
Know question about it....best era....this new cat's ain't about shit straight up down
Best line,'The school dropout, never liked the shit since day one' Premier on production. 28 years later we still here!!!!!!!!
"The school dropout - never liked the shit since day one."
I relate to that line so much. Lol
That's my line bruh lol
man I love that lyric disprepect as an art form
The way he put it in is heavy.
it's a badass line also love "accelerator the type of brother whol be pissing in your elevator" deadly
Haha
the most underated track in the album
Nothing is underrated in this project son. Not even the intro
No it aint
Facts. It's my favorite joint. #thiefofbaghdad
Never underated!
This flow 1 of the illest on the matic!
@@parix85 the intro 👊
Nas is the rebel of the street corner
I'm from Cali. Bumping Nas all day
I’m from the East Coast living in California I rocked my timbs and listen to this great classic everyday.
@@scaryvalidationsame here my guy. Which part of the East Coast?

'I DON'T BELIEVE IN NONE OF DAT SHIIIT .. UR FACTS .. IS BACKWARDS' - 👑NAS
I'm from Los Angeles, but illmatic showed me what real hip hop is. It's like walking through queensbridge in 94. Epic.
No expensive studio, big shot names, or womanizing verses, just raw simple sounds displaying that raw real project life, like a rerouted street light, 2 turntables diamond needles and lyrical serial assassin. Salutes from West Coast.
This shit was made in a studio with large professor Q-Tip & fucking DJ Premier in it fuck you mean no expensive studio
@@sekanoms LMAO
Amazin
@@sekanoms Literally came here to say that. 😂😂
" no big shot names"? Only some of the best producers that rap has ever seen !🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@444grt Now everybody serenade the new faith of Kendrick Lamar
This is King Kendrick Lamar
King Kendrick and I meant it, my point intended is raw
Fix your lenses forensics would've told you Kendrick had killed it
Pretend it's a massacre and the masses upon us
And I mastered being the master at dodging your honor
And the chapter that read at 25 I would live dormant like five in the morning
They raid your spot while Kendrick's performing
And if they take everything, know I got
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
Ay, Dre what's happening wit' it my nigga?
Still I'm at it, peel the plastic off it, you can feel the magic
Still I'm laughing at the critics talking, I can see 'em gagging
When I'm back in the back of my city, back in the 'bach
With a batch of them banging Dre Beats with me, look where I'm at
It's the murder cap' and I'm captain at birthing this gangsta rap
It's a wrap when I'm done and I come a long way from a hundred dollars a month
To a hundred mil' in a day, bitch, I'm from
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
So come and visit the tire screeching, ambulance, policeman
Won't you spend a weekend on Rosecrans, nigga?
Khaki creasing, crime increasing on Rosecrans, nigga
Kendrick Conan, nigga
Where you sword at? Hand on the cross and swore that
I do it big as Rasputia for them shooters
Kama Sutra, scream, "Fuck your position" and make you hold that
I'm trying to stay grounded like four flats
But I know flats and Piru Crip tats
Will swarm on me like a beehive
Hop in the G ride
From the West to the East side
Know that's just how Compton roll
And that's a given
I pass the blunt then pass the torch of course that's my decision
I crash the Porsche then you report that you see me in Benzes
I must report that we import the narcotics you bought it
Then talked about it when crack hit the speakers, the music business
I blow up every time we throw up a record
Depending on what you expecting, I'm sure it's bigger than your religion
Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
So tell that gangster throw his set high
Roll it up in a blunt, I'ma take you on the next high
I did exactly what I wanted that's what made them checks fly
In my direction, you never questioned when I said I
Would be a mogul before I visit 2Pac and Left-Eye
Eazy and Aaliyah when I see you we gon' test drive
A Lambo' in heaven but for now I'm on the redeye
Flying back to my city 'cause I'll forever standby
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
Now we can all celebrate
We can all harvest the rap artists of N.W.A
America target our rap market, as controversy and hate
Harsh realities we in made our music translate
To the coke dealers, the hood rich and the broke niggas that play
With them gorillas that know killers that know where you stay
Roll that kush, crack that case, ten bottles of rosé
This was brought to you by Dre
Now every motherfucker in here say, "Look who's responsible
For taking Compton international, I make 'em holla"
Ayo, Just Blaze, good looking homie
Just Blaze
Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah
In the city of Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
Mom, I finna use the van real quick
Be back, 15 minutes
Happy 30 years Illmatic 🙌
NAS one of the Goats. This is real NYC rap.
Arguably the best hip hop song i've ever heard
Gangsta Shit by Scarface. You are welcome.
Sing for the moment by Eminem. You are welcome.

14 years of rap or dance with the devil
@@user-oz4go5bq6jnahh its good but nas is nas
Man I miss this era!!!!!
If you miss that creative *90s* sound then ✔ out my tracks...I *specialize* in making old school-style hip hop...!!!👍🏾🎤🎧📀🎶💣🔥
I swear this beat is screaming New York
Premiere.....dopest producer all time....thats how you make a BASSLINE
Actually The bassline is in the sample
But to put it to a rap song is what im saying he had to find it....Peace
@@20yearsfromthepast the entire thing is a sample... Premiere didn't create any of the beat.
Might be the greatest rap song ever
If it the best on Illmatic... best believe its top 3 AT LEAST.
It is the best
Pure Hip Hop..Telling our stories on a beat
All I need is one mic 👊
Nas🙏
0:30 We all stare at the out of towners. "Ay yo yo who dat?" in the background 😂
This track makes the crowd go wild LIVE.
Yeah it has that stadium flow arena rap thing the chorus just gets you amped up
Nas is straight 🔥
Used to spit this bar for bar when I was homeless. This was truly all i had at one point. Hit so hard I would cry. This modern rap shit ain’t it.
Honestly Nas put the bar too fucking high with this masterpiece, 9 songs and Intro all pure fucking fire.
He had excellent albums after this one but still illmatic is on another planet
Illmatic is a perfect album
@@CreativeLaelAsif 100% and imo greatest album ever but personally 3rd fav. Some others I believe that are perfect would be 36 chambers, liquid swords and Madvillainy.
@@duckonquack6535 my favorite is It was written that was the most creative
Facts It was written is heavily underrated almost like it as much as illmatic
Until this came out, my favorite albums were Paid in Full and Long Live the Kane! I never thought I would like anything any more than those. This is it! And definitely not taking anything away from Rakim or BDK of course. They birthed him lol
"Because if I hit rock bottom, then I will be the son of Sam" 🔥🔥🔥
Nas is the definition of what real hip hop is
More than 20 years later, this masterpiece still shines bright.
like the mf sun
Almost 30 years.😊
Who bumping this in 2022?
Jaylen Dunn they better be
Happy 24 years Illmatic 🔥🔥
Jaylen Dunn maddd niggas still pump this whole album. You just not around them 😂
Me
shit you know i'm bumping this in the spaceship in Andromeda. this was made 2,000 years ago but i love ancient classical music.
In Represent, he sounds like a street king that everyone follows. That is why Nas is the Goat. In songs like The World is yours and NY State of Mind, he sounds like he's just a kid from NY talking 'bout his Life. In It ain't hard to tell and halftime, he sounds like a maestro + Poet making art. Add to this list.
Represent - Apathy
One of the best tracks from the best debut album in rap history
I put this over Ready to Die, The Chronic, Enter the 36 Chambers, over all of them...if ever an album could be called perfect it would be this one.
DMX released his first two albums in one year, both multi platinum.
@@fakeaccount348 All bangers but illmatic was the best of the best producing for the best rapper at that time...flawless
@@stelugud so? Record sales only equate to success for pop artists
This was my fav track on the album when i first got it, then i was fucking with Halftime,then changed again to NY State Of Mind and right now it's Memory Lane, thats when you know you got a classic album
Represent represent !!!!
