Lyrics
INTRO
Test, test
Yes, yes
Yeah
VERSE 1
It’s ugly outside, it’s muggy, it’s money outside
105 Fahrenheit thunderous skies
The clouds shape a clown face above where you reside
Under his eye, a teardrop got the ugliest cry
They call my city Gotham City, opposite of pretty
Weatherman cannot predict bullets rainin’ from out the 50
It’s ugly outside, Big L would be here if it wasn’t
Hell will freeze over the day it doesn’t get ugly out
How can we hug it out
After we slugged it out
We should be buyin’ acres adjustin’ each other’s crowns
That was your brother back then, how could you gun him down
Yeah, Yeah
That’s what I live for
The inventor
The re-invention, I’m reincarnated, see what it hit for
Yo, even your mentor can get you sent for
Get you chipped off if it’s a brick off, you hit a brick wall
Damn big dog
Dove in that water and got hit with a cannonball
Ugly Christmas sweater party with no Santa Claus
Companies profit off of black trauma
That’s ugly, mad ugly just like Sheneneh and Wanda
You been thru sh*t I been thru sh*t everyday is an honor
It’s ugly how Mercedes Moore lost her life to a stalker
I’m on offense everyday ‘til I see the love
KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz
BREAK
It’s ugly
It’s ugly
Sh*t is ugly
Yeah, one more time
VERSE 2
Yeah, it’s ugly outside
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I see the envy getting closer thru my optics
Knew I had vision before I seen the optometrist
I seen a whole lot of shit, never altered my confidence
Or my consciousness
It’s ugly outside they dangerous, stay out the mix
Poppin’ back out on n*ggas homie I’m poppin’ sh*t
Kill ‘em with no accomplices watchin’ my rearview the envy is obvious
It’s ugly outside, it’s grown men jealous outside
It’s grown ass women that’ll have you set up to die
You really not a stepper n*gga, just step to the side
While I two-step on a beat, watch a veteran slide
JMJ seen ‘em comin’ wish he ain’t hit the buzzer
Marvin Gaye to Young Dolph we takin’ out our brothers
Distorted faces, solemn features, we kill each other
It’s Mr. Ugly Man Marlon Wayans in In Living Color
BREAK
It’s ugly
It’s ugly
Sh*t is ugly
Yeah, one more time
It’s ugly
It’s ugly
Shit is ugly
Yeah

"It's ugly outside, Big L would be here if it wasn't"
Hard.
That line honestly made shed a tear
The production on this album is impeccable
Singer Rapper ♥️
The reason is HIT BOY 🙏🔥
Facts.
Hitboy and dj premier 🐐🐐
Nas sold his soul to Hennessy
One of the quintessential classic Songs in this 5 album Run.
Absolutely!
Absolutely 💯
6 albums now so I guess it's time to edit again😅
A classic sound and style that never ages. And it compliments his philosophy and poetry so gracefully. Nas is a prime example of how rap can be respected as more than a genre, but more as an artform.
Truest said son 💯
to influence positively not sentimentally but for real real
well said
Nas' has gotta be the greatest storytelling rapper ever
Wow Perfect
Nas is the prove that you don't need to change with the trend to stay relevant . 🐐 👑
Factz his music aged well
Truth°
Instead of changing he revise & set the trends! 🤘
Does he seem relevant?
Legends never lose their relevancy.
"It's ugly outside, Big L would be here if it wasn't!"
That goes for all our lost fathers, mothers brothers, sisters or any loved one!! Rest In Power, we love you, you will forever be missed!!!
" I got mad hoes and ask Beavis I get nothing butthead"
🔥
That bar always sticks out to me
THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH & NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!!
@@orlandobenson3691 this whole song was deep and heartfelt I wish jmj didn't hit that buzzer either
This is immaculate. Nas is one of the greatest artists of all time regardless of genre.
This comment is underrated.
RIP to Big L, truly one of NY's biggest legends
I love how Nas never stops making videos, this is the Nas I want to remember

He doesn’t have an overseer telling him what is and what is not going to be a video. Imagine how much material the record companies kept from fans.
This is the only Nas there is
@@chandlerscaringia5260 facts the benefits of being independent
Nas is timeless, doesn't need to change to stay relevant.
And im glad he never did
100%
Facts 100
Ion even think he can change... He can only stay the way he is🤌🏼🔥
Change what?
Nas is almost 50. He is peerless, he is unprecedented.
Still young, you think 50 is old? It's a perception. I agree w u tho!
This is my fave song from the Magic Trilogy. Motion, and Fever. Lawd, I wish him and Hitboy could do this forever. Stay lowkey and just drop magnificent music.
Nas is always going to have a chokehold on the rap game forever 🤎

Nas sold his soul to Hennessy
@@mikejones9906 Unfortunately, they all sell their soul to something. We can want to believe that our favorite rappers wouldn't do such a thing but its the "UGLY" truth.
@@woodywood1890 When I saw Nas doing Hennessy commercials, I finally realized all the conscious ish was a scam..
Nas still “king poetic.” The visuals in his rhymes. Ayo is it 96? This dude really timeless. Greatest ever.

@@mikejones9906 who the fuck are you 😂?
It's beyond the imagination that the tone of his voice has never changed. He literally sounds exactly like he did on Live at the Barbeque.
@@mikejones9906 you sold your soul to envy and hate
I'm so glad no one killed Nas. I can't imagine all the music we could have got from pac and biggy if they were alive today.
damn son you just fucked up my evening 😒😔😢😂😂😂
They’ll never be an MC that leaves a legacy behind like this man. I’m 45 years old and this guy’s music still gives me the chills like when my man Tone from Brooklyn gave me his ear phones and let me hear a verse from Nas on a underground mixtape in ‘92. To this day I still can’t find that tape. I say that to say, everything thing on the east stopped when Illmatic dropped in ‘94. To say he’s the greatest MC is an understatement. He changed how to construct a album with different producers, he leveled up bars and he’s been consistent since ‘92. Salute ✊🏾
Lyrically only guy who can compete with Nas is Lupe fiasco
💯
A mention also to the clever nerd, the best mc with no chain u ever heard MF DOOM
Boom Bap come back again!!♥
how can it come back when it never left?
This isn't boom bap, but yeah, it wouldn't hurt if it came back.

Nas is a true hip hop Artist. He is what every underground artist wish they were. HE CAN RAP ABOUT ANYTHING AND STILL REMAIN COMMERCIALLY VIABLE 😎😎VERY FEW HAVE ACHIEVED THIS IN RAP
Word up, truth
Common is one of the few..
I agree!

The best MC ever. Period end of discussion.
Big respect to everyone who bought M1 now let's get Nas streaming numbers up as fans and show are appreciation
This is that poetry that Hip Hop is missing, luckily for us Mr. NaS is still on his mission. 💯💯

2022 VISION WTF NASTRADAMUS 4LIFE 🤔
@@mannytaylor6923 worrrrrd up
The GOAT...hands down, point-blank, period. This man changed the game virtually overnight with Illmatic and has never stopped. Hip Hop Music would sound VASTLY different if it weren't for Nas.
I remember buying illmatic around 94 95 new stuff is solid
This video should have 100 million views
Right. Real art is rarely appreciated.
Folk ain't wrapped to tight to vibe to greatness like this
" We hear Nas, but we don't
Listen to Nas "
Truest words never been spoken
when Nas retires he will be valued for what he is, best rapper in history
I suspect that will only happen when he eventually passes away. It’s a bit morbid but death has an interesting way of putting the spotlight on great artists. Pac and Biggie died in the 90s but they were at their peak popularity in the 2000s, if I recall correctly.
@@mphylo2296 is what i mean but is no chance that we want that to happen
@@leoggonzalezz2596 He's not the best rapper in history. He will never be better than 2pac, Ice Cube, Ice T, Krs, Rakim or Slick Rick. Don't lie to yourself
Far too many great rappers for there to be one best rapper. Every era has great rappers, you cant say that Nas would have been the best rapper of the 70s, 80s for instance because he wouldnt have sounded great back then compared to Melle Mel or Kurtis Blow, Busy Bee, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC or the mid to late 80s Rakim, Slick Rick, LL Cool J,Guru, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D would have all sounded better, its not just about the lyrics it could be delivery, storytelling or the vocal qualities which work for that particular track or genre.
@@bensteward1393 that's your opinion
Thank you Hitboy for providing the SPARK
He actually had a TRIPLE entendre in this song:
"Even your mentor could get you sent for / Get you chipped-off if there's a brick off / you hit a brick wall"
If you have a mentor, you're a "chip off the old block" (brick). "chipped-off" and "brick-off" and "brick wall" uses word play to connect the ideas of (1) mentorship relationships (2) physical blocks and bricks (3) murders
Brick off is the count, if he stole a brick of ____ for self use or his own personal sales. The brick wall represents the end of the growth
I thought it was a coke reference, i.e. "a brick of coke".
@@randomdude7384 haha yessir I left it a fill in the blank because you receive other things in bricks as well but that's probably what he was alluding to
I guess I'm interpreting it as your mentor who's groomed you into the person you are can stab you in the back. He's saying that the closest people who you never expect to harm you can very well if you don't watch out for yourself.
@@1nonly553 Steve stoute his longtime mentor became a traitor when he started to work with Jay …that Def jam deal I believed was setup Steve ,Jay and LA Reid was to destroyed Nas financially but he bounced back became great businessman
“Ugly” is fucking underrated on this album
its number 2 for me
wave gods #1 then Ugly #2
Shiiiid. This bitch stuck to me off the rip.
My list changes every other month since December... Been sleeping on Ugly tho!
@@bwangalumande8775 put head phones on and zone out. Or pump it in the whip. Just listen. Don't 👂 hear. Just listen.
This has got to be one of the best music videos I've ever seen for one of Nas' finest songs to date. The framing, the lighting, the imagery juxtaposed with the lyrics, the film grain: all of it is just immaculate on a grandiose scale. Kudos to Nas for his consistent resurgence. I'm late to the party, but seeing this right now almost brought a tear to my eye.
Jay Z is scared to death of these types of NaS songs fr💯 Best NaS song since "Car #85" hands down 💯 this man said : "even your mentor will get u sent for" , that's the most La COSA nostra line ever put into a hip hop song!!!!!! I could see actual roaches bumping this jam💯
Visual Is So Dope 🔥🔥💯🏆

I hate when they use images from they just shot...seems kinda lazy/uninspired...wouldn't expect that from awge

FACTS
Nas time travels to his old self , when all other lost it ( Jay-Z , lil Wayne , Eminem , 50 , game etc )
Nas still destroys all doubters and critics
Nas has endured in a way his peers haven't. Sure all of them you mentioned had supreme fame over Nas at the beginning but it's about longevity and not selling yourself out. Supreme fame fades but longevity is hard to maintain. Nas never did and he aged well. His rhymes are just as flawless as it was back then because he never had to live up to a standard. He is that standard
@@TheDumontShow 50 and game last albums before retirement, Jay-Z no album 5-6 years , 1 very good album last 10 years ( 444) , Eminem last 3 garbage albums , lil Wayne is done , only g rap , az , KRS one still hard !
Nas planed this all out , waited for independent label to drop one of his best work while waiting others to fall of the map
The definition of street dreaming to its finest😂🤣😂
@@TheDumontShow what supreme fames ?
What about E40
I could never stop listening to this song
Favorite on the album and that's saying a lot because the project is a classic
Nas dropped 3 classics on us in a row #3Peat
You can say 4 now... KD3
Coldest song I've heard from any artist the last 20 years.
This song = f*ck the world
Hitboy going hard as possible!
Beat sounds like a sequel to The World is Yours
Nas the GOAT for dropping classics everytime!!
Fr, I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s the same sample
100%. Plus the video being shot in black and white gives the same feel from the World is Yours video
Kya bolte bawa😎
@@harshwardhannnn 🥂
It also reminded me of It’s Yourz by Wu-Tang
Nas is living proof ,you don't need to be trending or a kiss ass to be fire 🔥
Nas, we will always want to listen to his music because it’s not sexualized, it’s not overhyped but it is a beautiful melody with amazing lyrics we want to hear because we hear our pain become validated through a bearable tune. Nas always stayed in his own lane because he knows that ppl can’t do what he do… hood love through music… I like Remy Ma line the only Nas I know is from Queensbridge😂frfr Nas shine bright and he don’t even be trying❤️🙏🏾 we ❤️ Nas4ever❤️
Idk why but this damn near my fav song by Nas
I’m with u on that it’s one of his bests perfection at its finest. what a great music video aswell
Same here.
The Great Nasir Jones... Mind-boggling how he is still rapping at such an elite level. Since 91....
Nas one of the Greatest to ever do it Shoutout From Germany 🇩🇪
🤘
*greatest
I'm glad I chose Nasty as the GOAT more than a decade ago. I haven't looked back since.
It's Virgo Season in SA.Shout Out to Uncle Nas.For Me The Best Lyricist I took after..his Work Will never go Undone.
Salute To the Virgo Warrior
"JMJ seen them coming, wish he ain't hit the buzzer". Wow. Nas stays the GOAT.

Big facts fam...✊
He is but on skill level Black Thought is better.
@@thisjawnswayze black thought not even close
No disrespect
@@thisjawnswayze Black thought is definitely ill, he's not nas though. The body of work, longevity, impact, of Nas is unmatched. However. Black thought is definitely dope. Funny enough he and Nas both have dope features on Raekwon's album Shaolin vs Wu-Tang.

Incredible. First time hearing it. This is how I view the world sometimes too. You cant help but see it.
I'm so happy that Nas never gave up on music and still continues to drop bangers at his age..Jay needs to take a note from Nas's book.
Even his videos are a work of art
Ikr!!
Factuals
The hunger the motivation that this dude still has is Mind blowing 😲😳
Nas can rap like this till 90 years of age 🐐🐐🪄🎤
My best friend died cause Heroin, we used to bump a lot of hip hop, he loved Nas, he teach me all about him, now I love his memories and love Nas too, this man energy is unmatchable.
Sorry for your loss bruh
Hold your head King, Those are memories for u and him, Everytime u listen to Nas It's a beautiful way of paying homage to your homie, Stay Strong🙏🏼
From his voice, to his flow, and lyrics, this is real art. Blessed to have a rapper like Nas still making music 🔥✊🏼
No one matches nas when it comes to imagery, I wish there was some comic book type brain scanner that could tell us how his brain works to the last molecule, he matched almost every line with a visual aid in the video, he is figuratively and literally painting a picture. The greatest ladies and gentlemen.
That album was straight 🔥🔥🔥 I’m happy to know that “KD III on the way, this just to feed the buzz”
Old school killah, I also like the old school song “Dupe - International “
Everything nas touched turns to gold he truly is God's gift to hip hop and when he's silent hip hop is dead
Nas is hip hop’ greatest writer 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡👏🏾
visualisation is why nas is the embodiment of a true artist, a curator if you will that always spoke to the purist essence and aesthetic of hip hop. truly unique and we should all be honoured to witness it.
hit it on the nail one trillion percent true well said.
If Nas ain’t get his flowers yet, here you go. Matter of fact, take the whole garden.
True story
Protect Nas
I'm so happy this kind of sound is still alive somewhere around the globe. I'm proud to be from Queens cuz of Nas.
Still the best rapper that ever lived. And the most diverse with all kinds of songs.
Agreed 🔥
Yes the GOAT!
He is one of the best but not the best
Mr cloud who is better?
@@j-touch232 idk about others but LL cool J and pac were definitely better than him
