I love both but Jay is more versatile, has more flows, he’s punches more, he kills double, triple, and quadruple entendres. Nas is lyrical and more forward but Jay bars go over peoples heads
@@jeromesimz6271 nah bro Jay is considered a all time great lyricist he’s more versatile than a lot of guys he can make club music, conscious music, he was called the master of flows in the 90s for a reason he switches up a lot that’s what makes him great he can ride beats. Nas is a great lyrical rapper no doubt he got that in the bag but he isn’t as versatile I consider him a great lyricist but I consider Jay a great rapper/entertainer
Damn,I downloaded this song back in 99.I lost my hard drive and every since then I had never found this song.This is IN my top 3 jams from Nas.Thank God for TH-cam...
This is the mind frame of the average black man in America the street life is so fast and full of distractions we don’t realize our enemy is not the other dude in the other side of the projects but it’s ourselves.
its mad how some commercial artists get more views when they're only a fraction of nas' genius this track blew me away 4 real! Now one of my favourite songs
"i wanted money when i got it i would spent it, wanted jewels but when i heard them yo i wouldn't listen, all the drama in my life i got myself into all the toxics my body took in faded my mental" THAT PART RGHT THERE IS SO REAL, THAT IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY....
After listening to this, it should be clear by now why JZ lost to Nas with that whole rap battle. J's subject matter isn't on Nas' level. Don't get it twist though. I have hella songs from J's catalog. With J, It's more like staying motivated to get that money. J is your everday emcee where Nas is that emcee that you get ever so often. I bet that if you took a poll on who got more love througout the five bouroughs... Jersey being the sixth ;] Nas would shine hands down. Don't front. Nas peaced it up for HH but deep in the streets J snaked Nas gettin' at his baby moms which was hella disrespect. Nas' bm played herself. Thanks for the upload!
Fav rappers In no particular order... -Nas -Kadafi -Kool G -AZ -Mobb Deep -LOX -Canibus -Big Pun -Jay-Z -Cormega Never was into Biggie and Pac that much
I agree with the homey below me... Nas is the best poet of all MCs. This dude is really the greatest of all MCs, period. He has no equal. And Pac will always be number 2 on the list, but not even Pac can lyrically compare to Nas!
man this is like one of my fav tracks from Nas, im real dissapointed this wasnt on the us/european release, i tried to get the japan edition this tracks on but its discontinued! beyond sick lyrics on this track, hip hop doesnt get better than this.
i happen to disagree. remember when nas went commercial. during the nas-p shitty era? when people saw him as a change up? he went back to the original nas when he dropped stillmatic which is classic. afer nas dropped God's son making him three classics: 1.illmatic 2.stillmatic 3. God's son if given the 4th would it not be the lost tapes(but that's a compelation not a full album) but not even too short bragging his 17 album count has 3 classic albums.

to deep bro, to deep. nas, I like his old songs, this is unreleased so I don't know when it came out, but it would seem that it was when he was older and wiser. don't get me wrong his old stuff will always be classic, but his newer stuff just bleeds knowledge!
Intro: Nas] Yea, uh, uh, real niggas dawg, ya heard Yea, journey to the life, just journey [Verse One: Nas] I'm the nigga that ain't loud Throw C-low, never ace out Only move out wit a particular crew, I hate crowds The observer, money and murder the hood praise it I was raised in it, early age Was presented with the ultimatum Be a boss with a army, drop the Atari games Hard cocaine that had my neighborhood strung out Brains numb out, guns out I was smart high hopes in my heart But dope cartels would emerge Bloody shirts on niggas while they hollerin' 'Til their lungs don't work Figures I end up with a scarred memory of my youth With dudes in the drug loot, feelin' henny "SHOOT" My nigga Will still here, man I wish it was truth Buried in his favorite shit, FILA sneakers and FILA suit My eyes are the window of my soul My niggas let the Indo roll Thinkin' time flies we gettin' old That's the words of my right hand man, my main dawg We been rollin since day one, he down for the cause All he talk is extortion, kidnap shit, big gat shit I'm like - "yo think positive", but he act sick He only think about lettin' his Mac spit He like fuck who he hit Me it bothers, cause he know I'm rent 'em it regardless If he keep wildin' out he's makin' both of us targets So I pull him, tell him on some deep shit, try to school 'em We already lost niggas by how we was movin' We still livin', but our lives need much improvin' I think I'm gonna lose 'em [Hook: Nas] I was blind in this world All I thought about was diamonds and pearls I had beef wit a nigga, then I'm clappin' his girl Nappin' his kids, ransack and run through his rib Blow up his mom's crib, there's no way he could live It's gettin' clearer, starin' at the man in the mirror Like all this time, it's just a fragment of my mind Come to find out, shit wasn't what is made to be In reality +My Worst Enemy+ was me [Verse Two: Nas] Feelin' like I got the dons clout Trigger pawn cocked Glocks spray up your moms spot I ain't playin' wit you, war, fuck pistols Bring machines, icy bell buckles, ten guns, M-1'S with ice muzzles Life's a struggle, get your wifey touch too, everybody involved Homicide, doctors patchin' up your war scars Task Force chargin' at us, news flash, thug crews blast at officers Coroners pick you up from the grass Livin' fast 'til somebody tries meltin' my chest I'm high loosin' it, could of hit my own self with the tec Refuse to quit, but I tried tellin' me to relax It's like I can't hear my words 'til I'm trapped to the max Even then I blame everybody else except me, pops left me I was just three, I cried for help, moms was busy That don't mean nigga's stupid But I got a habit wit - makin' up excuses Was born ruthless, hated school, they ain't teach me I'm a bad seed Planted in this ghetto, where my niggas can't read Multiply, subtract; only knowin' how to count cracks and count stacks Now what y'all know about that One side of me wanted out of this life Glue traps on the floor for the mice 'Til the nigga saw the light I wanted money when I got it, I would spend it I wanted jewels, but when I heard it, yo I wouldn't listen All of the drama in my life I got my self into All the toxins my body took in, faded my mental I let these niggas words get to me But I'm tired of my ice, tired of Bentley It's the end of the century I recognized the world is a beautiful place Niggas opinions ruinin' my musical taste Cause everytime I caught a case, could of got me in jail If you wasn't scared of jail, you more likely to fail I thought the whole world was cursed, from the hand I was dealt And +My Worst Enemy+ was my self Word to my self...word to my self...word to my self...

u right man, Pac was born a black panther and is the last generation of true black panthers, every other panther either died, was banished, or in prison by the time Pac came on the scene. even his aunt assata SHakur is banished and hiding some were in cuba, thats why people say Pac is still alive and he living in Cuba with his aunt.
Nas is a rare breed. His lyrics are on another level and he has a unique delivery that makes you stop and listen. He's a teacher not a preacher.
Nas unreleased joints are better than these dudes whole albums
yes sir...
though old some things will still be brought up- this is why jay z couldnt touch him!
in fact there no one not even eminem could fuck with him.
Dabaryam Malak True my dude
4real.
+Dabaryam Malak Jay Z helped Nas by investment in him as he is a business man
Nas is the greatest writer of my lifetime. Any genre
He's gotta be in everyone's top 5 at least
"Fuck pistols, bringing machines, icy belt buckles 10 guns M1s with ice muzzles, life's a struggle" greatest mc of all time 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song alone is better than someones whole rap career... Much respect
Lmao fr 😂😂🌬️🔥🔥🔥🚒🧑🚒
Damn!
God speaks through the great ones
Well said .
"I wanted jewels but when I heard them I wouldn't listen"
This is one of my favorite Nas songs. It makes me ponder about many things that I experienced.
nas you are one of the legends........i grew up on your knowledge......since junior high
"One side of me, wanted out of this life, glue traps on the floor for the mice, till a nigga saw the light".
My eyes are the windows of My Soul...nas got that true wordplay
That second verse...he beasted it
On some real shit...that second verse is better than most rappers albums, old and new. Nas
High az hell when first heard with goosebumps!!!!
This is one of the reasons Jay-Z was mad at Nas. Jay was hurt he could never match this type of skill.
I love both but Jay is more versatile, has more flows, he’s punches more, he kills double, triple, and quadruple entendres. Nas is lyrical and more forward but Jay bars go over peoples heads
@@MichaelWilson-ht9gn I disagree and I love both too.
@@esotericguru7111 just depends on what people like either way you can’t go wrong bc both are certified goats 💯💪🏾
@@MichaelWilson-ht9gn Jay could only wish he could rap like this. Only Kendrick is able to tap into this type of poetic element.
@@jeromesimz6271 nah bro Jay is considered a all time great lyricist he’s more versatile than a lot of guys he can make club music, conscious music, he was called the master of flows in the 90s for a reason he switches up a lot that’s what makes him great he can ride beats. Nas is a great lyrical rapper no doubt he got that in the bag but he isn’t as versatile I consider him a great lyricist but I consider Jay a great rapper/entertainer

Nas is too much 4 any rapper any era truly KinG 👑 NYC
Big fax🐐
In my opinion the greatest of all time
Shit hit different when u older. 2023
Very hard to find song. Love this. Songs like this is what makes Nas the best.
This and “rise and fall” need to be on the next lost tapes
This is the mind frame of the average black man in America the street life is so fast and full of distractions we don’t realize our enemy is not the other dude in the other side of the projects but it’s ourselves.
Nas is a legend
This shit goes hard!!! Anybody that say Nas fell off don't know hip hop
I love everyone commenting on here who can appreciate this greatness..Nas is the goat man. Only ones to compete are Big Pun and Canibus
What can compare to this?
This what I truly live for...HIP HOP FOREVER
NaS DA G.O.A.T !!!
Yes!👑
its mad how some commercial artists get more views when they're only a fraction of nas' genius this track blew me away 4 real! Now one of my favourite songs
This is rap.
Too many gems 💎 and rubies on this... 🔥🔥🔥
Deep down I already knew, but this song reminded me that yeah..... my own worst enemy is me.
Amen.Church.
" I wanted money, when i got it i would spend it; I wanted Jules but when i heard , yo i wouldn't listen" Realest shit yroo
Greatest of all time.
this is the nas I like, he comes with those real lyrics over nice hyms
Man, I use to love this.
Goddamn he killed this track
perfect beat for the subject my worst enemy my ownself( Nas the illiest )
Jesus fucking christ this man can bring a grown man to tears with just his words God bless Nasir Jones
"word to myself" gnosis, this is a deep song, especially the last verse.
nas is carlito from carlitos way, jay z is benny blanco from the bronx lol, and lil wayne is that guy in a wheelchair who has to wear dypers
1 of the illest MC's there will ever be
Shit gives me the chills
"i wanted money when i got it i would spent it, wanted jewels but when i heard them yo i wouldn't listen, all the drama in my life i got myself into all the toxics my body took in faded my mental"
THAT PART RGHT THERE IS SO REAL, THAT IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY....
this one of Nas most underrated trackz.. 4 me its one of his 3 best song.. 2 much truth
2001 it was his 7th year since debut, he is now about 19 years deep...
Jesus Christ !!!
This nigga trained in flame throwing.
Ain't NOBODY BETTER
When someone talk about GOATS if you don’t mention NAS before anyone else then you are not a true fan of HIPHOP
After listening to this, it should be clear by now why JZ lost to Nas with that whole rap battle. J's subject matter isn't on Nas' level. Don't get it twist though. I have hella songs from J's catalog. With J, It's more like staying motivated to get that money. J is your everday emcee where Nas is that emcee that you get ever so often. I bet that if you took a poll on who got more love througout the five bouroughs... Jersey being the sixth ;] Nas would shine hands down. Don't front. Nas peaced it up for HH but deep in the streets J snaked Nas gettin' at his baby moms which was hella disrespect. Nas' bm played herself. Thanks for the upload!
this track takes me back to the good ol days no worries
2019 still here
very mature song
Lyric Master Nasir Jones....!!!!!♥️
Real Hip Hop , point blank, period.
Imagine what HitBoy could have done with these lyrics.
holy shit I found this song on accident, I forgot all about this song..... Nas the GOAT
this could b one of nas' best songs lyricaly
Incredible song
Nas the truth real hip hop aka legend
Fav rappers In no particular order...
-Nas
-Kadafi
-Kool G
-AZ
-Mobb Deep
-LOX
-Canibus
-Big Pun
-Jay-Z
-Cormega
Never was into Biggie and Pac that much
My worst enemy is myself...true talk!! I like the song. A+
I agree with the homey below me... Nas is the best poet of all MCs. This dude is really the greatest of all MCs, period. He has no equal. And Pac will always be number 2 on the list, but not even Pac can lyrically compare to Nas!
nas droppin many Jewelz in this.......real shit
man this is like one of my fav tracks from Nas, im real dissapointed this wasnt on the us/european release, i tried to get the japan edition this tracks on but its discontinued! beyond sick lyrics on this track, hip hop doesnt get better than this.
Genius
@wizzaar PERFECT!!! That EXACTLy what nas' style is blended into perfection
Best lyricist dead or alive.
Ooh man who makes a song like this? This dude is crazy
OMG. Nas murdered this joint.
Nas has always kept shit real i like most of all his music
i happen to disagree.
remember when nas went commercial. during the nas-p shitty era? when people saw him as a change up? he went back to the original nas when he dropped stillmatic which is classic. afer nas dropped God's son making him three classics:
1.illmatic
2.stillmatic
3. God's son
if given the 4th would it not be the lost tapes(but that's a compelation not a full album)
but not even too short bragging his 17 album count has 3 classic albums.
It Was Written..unquestionably a classic man..
Dabaryam Malak his most recent album I would put on his top 3 personally
I recognized the world is a beautiful place
1.nas
2.eminem
3.dead prez
4.method man
5.big-pac
6.big pun
7.RZA
8.DMX
9.LOST BOYS
10.jay z-just cuz he made reasonable doubt to perfection
this song here was inspiration for capital P's (Prodigy's) introspective pen verse on the song 'Self Conscience' IMO
That's dope love that song but never knew that.
Thats just your thought rite ? never heard that one...
no it didn't this song was out before self conscience!!!
Omg Nas
Evet, uh, uh, gerçek zenciler, duydun
Evet, hayata yolculuk, sadece yolculuk
[Birinci Kıta: Nas]
Ben gürültülü olmayan zenciyim
C-düşük at, asla as dışarı
Sadece belirli bir ekip ile dışarı çıkıyorum, kalabalıklardan nefret ediyorum
Gözlemci, para ve cinayet mahallesini övüyor
İçinde büyüdüm, erken yaşta
Ültimatom ile sunuldu
Orduda patron ol, Atari oyunlarını bırak
Mahallemi sinirlendiren sert kokain
Beyinler uyuşuyor, silahlar dışarı
Zekiydim kalbimde yüksek umutlar
Ama uyuşturucu kartelleri ortaya çıkardı
Zenciler bağırırken kanlı gömlekler
Ciğerleri çalışmayana kadar
Gençliğimin yaralı bir hatırasıyla son bulduğum rakamlar
Uyuşturucu ganimetindeki adamlarla, "SHOOT" u hissetmek
Zencim hala burada olacak, keşke gerçek olsaydı
En sevdiği bokuna, FILA spor ayakkabılarına ve FILA takımına gömüldü
Gözlerim ruhumun penceresi
Zencilerim Hintlerin yuvarlanmasına izin verdi
Düşünüyorum zaman uçar, yaşlanıyoruz
Bu benim sağ kolumun sözleri, ana dostum
Birinci günden beri yuvarlanıyoruz, o sebep için aşağı
Tek konuştuğu gasp, adam kaçırma, büyük gat bok
Ben - "olumlu düşün" gibiyim, ama o hasta davranıyor
Sadece Mac'inin tükürmesine izin vermeyi düşünüyor
Kimi vurduğunu seviyor
Beni rahatsız ediyor, çünkü onları ne olursa olsun kiraladığımı biliyor
Eğer çıldırmaya devam ederse, ikimizi de hedef yapıyor
Bu yüzden onu çekiyorum, ona derin bir boktan bahsediyorum, onları eğitmeye çalışıyorum
Nasıl hareket ettiğimize göre zaten zencileri kaybettik
Hâlâ yaşıyoruz, ama hayatımızın daha çok doğaçlamaya ihtiyacı var
Sanırım onları kaybedeceğim
[Kanca: Nas]
Bu dünyada kördüm
Tek düşündüğüm elmaslar ve incilerdi
Bir zenci ile sığır eti yedim, sonra onun kızını alkışlıyorum
Çocuklarını uyutuyor, yağmalayıp kaburga kemiğine doğru koşuyor
Annesinin beşiğini havaya uçur, yaşayabilmesi için hiçbir yol yok
Aynadaki adama bakarak daha netleşiyor
Tüm bu zamanlar gibi, bu sadece aklımın bir parçası
Öğrenmeye gel, olmak için yapılan bok değildi
Gerçekte + En Kötü Düşmanım + bendim
[İkinci Kıta: Nas]
Dons nüfuzum varmış gibi hissediyorum
Tetik piyon eğdi Glocks annelerinize püskürtün
Seninle oynamıyorum, savaş, tabancaları sikeyim
Makineler, buzlu çan tokaları, on silah, buzlu bulmacalı M-1'ler getirin
Hayat bir mücadele, karısının da dokunuşunu yap, herkes dahil
Cinayet, doktorlar savaş yaralarını yamalıyor
Görev Gücü bize saldırıyor, flaş haberler, haydut ekipler memurlara saldırıyor
Adli tıp görevlileri sizi çimenlerden alır
Biri göğsümü eritene kadar hızlı yaşıyorum
Onu gevşetiyorum, tec ile kendi kendime vurabilirim
Bırakmayı reddediyorum ama rahatlamamı söylemeyi denedim
Sanki maksimuma hapsolana kadar sözlerimi duyamıyorum
O zaman bile benden başka herkesi suçluyorum, babam beni terk etti
Sadece üç yaşındaydım, yardım için ağladım, anneler meşguldü
Bu zencinin aptal olduğu anlamına gelmez
Ama zeka uydurma alışkanlığım var
Acımasız, nefret edilen okul doğdu, bana kötü bir tohum olduğumu öğretmiyorlar
Zencilerimin okuyamadığı bu gettoya yerleştirildim
Çarpın, çıkarın; Sadece çatlakları ve yığınları nasıl sayacağını bilirim
Şimdi bunun hakkında ne biliyorsunuz
Bir yanım bu hayattan çıkmak istedi
Fareler için yerdeki tutkal tuzakları
Zenci ışığı görene kadar
Parayı aldığımda istedim, harcardım
Mücevherler istedim, ama duyduğumda yo dinlemedim
Hayatımdaki tüm drama kendimi içine soktum
Vücudumun aldığı tüm toksinler zihnimi soldurdu
Bu zencilerin bana ulaşmasına izin verdim
Ama buzumdan bıktım, Bentley'den bıktım
Yüzyılın sonu
Dünyanın güzel bir yer olduğunu anladım
Zenciler benim müzik zevkimi mahvediyor
Çünkü her davayı yakaladığımda, beni hapse atabilirdi
Hapisten korkmadıysanız, başarısız olma olasılığınız daha yüksektir
Bana satıldığım elden bütün dünyanın lanetlendiğini sanıyordum
Ve + En Kötü Düşmanım + kendimdi
Kendime söz ... kendime söz ... kendime söz ...
[Kanca: Nas]
Dünyaya kördüm
Tüm düşündüğüm elmaslar ve incilerdi
Bir zenci ile sığır eti yedim, sonra onun kızını alkışlıyorum
Çocuklarını uyutuyor, yağmalıyor, kaburgasından geçiyor
Annesinin beşiğini havaya uçur, yaşayabilmesi için hiçbir yol yok
Aynadaki adama bakarak daha netleşiyor
Çünkü bunca zaman aklımda bir parçaydı
Bulmaya gel, olmak için yapılan bok değildi
Gerçekte + En Kötü Düşmanım + bendim
Nas is no joke.
to deep bro, to deep. nas, I like his old songs, this is unreleased so I don't know when it came out, but it would seem that it was when he was older and wiser. don't get me wrong his old stuff will always be classic, but his newer stuff just bleeds knowledge!
most of the time society has nothing to do with our individual down fall........... it's our own ignorance that gets us in the end
Intro: Nas]
Yea, uh, uh, real niggas dawg, ya heard
Yea, journey to the life, just journey
[Verse One: Nas]
I'm the nigga that ain't loud
Throw C-low, never ace out
Only move out wit a particular crew, I hate crowds
The observer, money and murder the hood praise it
I was raised in it, early age
Was presented with the ultimatum
Be a boss with a army, drop the Atari games
Hard cocaine that had my neighborhood strung out
Brains numb out, guns out
I was smart high hopes in my heart
But dope cartels would emerge
Bloody shirts on niggas while they hollerin'
'Til their lungs don't work
Figures I end up with a scarred memory of my youth
With dudes in the drug loot, feelin' henny "SHOOT"
My nigga Will still here, man I wish it was truth
Buried in his favorite shit, FILA sneakers and FILA suit
My eyes are the window of my soul
My niggas let the Indo roll
Thinkin' time flies we gettin' old
That's the words of my right hand man, my main dawg
We been rollin since day one, he down for the cause
All he talk is extortion, kidnap shit, big gat shit
I'm like - "yo think positive", but he act sick
He only think about lettin' his Mac spit
He like fuck who he hit
Me it bothers, cause he know I'm rent 'em it regardless
If he keep wildin' out he's makin' both of us targets
So I pull him, tell him on some deep shit, try to school 'em
We already lost niggas by how we was movin'
We still livin', but our lives need much improvin'
I think I'm gonna lose 'em
[Hook: Nas]
I was blind in this world
All I thought about was diamonds and pearls
I had beef wit a nigga, then I'm clappin' his girl
Nappin' his kids, ransack and run through his rib
Blow up his mom's crib, there's no way he could live
It's gettin' clearer, starin' at the man in the mirror
Like all this time, it's just a fragment of my mind
Come to find out, shit wasn't what is made to be
In reality +My Worst Enemy+ was me
[Verse Two: Nas]
Feelin' like I got the dons clout
Trigger pawn cocked Glocks spray up your moms spot
I ain't playin' wit you, war, fuck pistols
Bring machines, icy bell buckles, ten guns, M-1'S with ice muzzles
Life's a struggle, get your wifey touch too, everybody involved
Homicide, doctors patchin' up your war scars
Task Force chargin' at us, news flash, thug crews blast at officers
Coroners pick you up from the grass
Livin' fast 'til somebody tries meltin' my chest
I'm high loosin' it, could of hit my own self with the tec
Refuse to quit, but I tried tellin' me to relax
It's like I can't hear my words 'til I'm trapped to the max
Even then I blame everybody else except me, pops left me
I was just three, I cried for help, moms was busy
That don't mean nigga's stupid
But I got a habit wit - makin' up excuses
Was born ruthless, hated school, they ain't teach me I'm a bad seed
Planted in this ghetto, where my niggas can't read
Multiply, subtract; only knowin' how to count cracks and count stacks
Now what y'all know about that
One side of me wanted out of this life
Glue traps on the floor for the mice
'Til the nigga saw the light
I wanted money when I got it, I would spend it
I wanted jewels, but when I heard it, yo I wouldn't listen
All of the drama in my life I got my self into
All the toxins my body took in, faded my mental
I let these niggas words get to me
But I'm tired of my ice, tired of Bentley
It's the end of the century
I recognized the world is a beautiful place
Niggas opinions ruinin' my musical taste
Cause everytime I caught a case, could of got me in jail
If you wasn't scared of jail, you more likely to fail
I thought the whole world was cursed, from the hand I was dealt
And +My Worst Enemy+ was my self
Word to my self...word to my self...word to my self...
[Hook: Nas]
I was blind to the world
All I thought about was diamonds and pearls
I had beef wit a nigga, then I'm clappin' his girl
Nappin' his kids, ransack, run through his rib
Blow up his mom's crib, there's no way he could live
It's gettin' clearer, starin' at the man in the mirror
Cause all this time, it was a fragment in my mind
Come to find out, shit wasn't what is made to be
In reality +My Worst Enemy+ was me
I got to get focused because I'm my own worst enemy. Her mind was playing games on her
the batte of good vs. evil in all of us...

u right man, Pac was born a black panther and is the last generation of true black panthers, every other panther either died, was banished, or in prison by the time Pac came on the scene. even his aunt assata SHakur is banished and hiding some were in cuba, thats why people say Pac is still alive and he living in Cuba with his aunt.

It is obvious who the greatest artists in hip hop were and are. The people at the top of the list can be proven, but the number one cannot.
