Back when the 90's era of NYC was the Rotten Apple and full of gun violence and crime like Chi-raq and Nas was the Donald Goines of the whole essence. This is one of those albums whereas even if you weren't from NYC you knew what it smelled like, what it felt like, and what it was like. There are a lot of classic albums to come out of the rap genre but few were able to encapsulate an area like what Nas was able to do with Queensbridge. Southernplayalisticcadillacfunkymusic felt like Atlanta, Common's Ressurection felt like the Southside of Chicago and Illmatic was the sound of Queens, NY.
I agree with everything you said, just want to add Mobb deep's debut album hit just has hard and also encapsulated 90's NY in a similar way (and they're also from Queensbridge..QB had some heat in that era✊🏾)
Also Biggie's Ready To Die was the drug-dealing side of Brooklyn, Warren G's Regulate G-Funk Era had the relaxing sound of Cali, Redman's Dare Iz a Darkside had the gritty side of Newark, NJ, Scarface's The Diary told the scary side of Houston, Texas and Bone Thugs' Creeping on ah Come Up had the haunted soul of Cleveland, Ohio
Curious.. what album would you say best represented the San Francisco Bay Area in the 90’s? I’m thinking either RBL Posse “Lesson to be learned” or Too $hort “Get in where you fit in”
I’ve been playin this nonstop while livin in New Orleans ridin down Canal Street and other streets. It brings a different vibe but that street essence is recognized and felt anywhere.
Nas wrote the Illmatic album when he was 16-17 years old. He was probably 19 years old when this video premiered. What the hell was you doing at 17 years old????
I'm not even an old head but i stay close to the old school as much as possible, of course being from NY its much easier acess to this type of music but its crazy comin out of HS and Lil Wayne not even relevent anymore of course Wayne dont come close to the OG MCs but Wayne would body every Rapper in the game right now it's Sad.

1:58 “Man plants seeds to bring forth multiple breeds… So many cultures on one planet… But ONE culture’s FREE…” 🤔🤔🤔 If it’s not completely over your head, LET THAT MARINATE FOR A MINUTE. THEN realize he wrote that almost 30 yrs ago when he was about 19. 🤯🤯🤯
This guy is an unbelievable MC. Nas’s writing is the antithesis of Rhythm And Poetry (RAP). I can detect the Rakim influence, but he’s got a style all his own, untouchable.
Agreed he's an unbelievable MC and untouchable. But the word, antithesis? Are you saying Nas' writing is the opposite of Rhythm And Poetry (RAP)? My view is Nas is one of the main *epitomies* of Rhythm and Poetry (RAP) at its purest. Same with Rakim.
Nas was doing his version of Kool G Rap, not Rakim; and he DOES come dangerously close at times to completely biting his style, which is why Russell Simmons rejected him when they shopped his demo at Def Jam. The star of this song is Q-Tip, though: incredible run with Midnight Marauders, his Nas songs, The Mobb Deep album (both the credited and uncredited engineering and producing work; just listen to the drums, especially the snares, on that album if you have any doubt about how involved Tip was), and Crooklyn Dodgers-one of the dopest producers/unique ears of all time. To this day, no one knows what that Crooklyn Dodgers sample is.
For years, I’d see the thumbnail for this vid and skip over it. Now that I’ve given it a try, I might’ve revisited this video maybe 40+ times by the time of this comment. Words cannot express the emotions I get watching this nostalgia. From the ultra complex verses from God’s Son to the various NY occurrences captured beautifully in just the 5 minutes this MV runs. That white SC400 is cherry on top too. Just from examining this video time over time again, makes me feel like I’ve experienced this era first hand( Born in ‘98, ya’ll ahaaa) I can go on and on, but as much as I wish to have been apart of this time, I’m just thankful we can revisit this and capture/recapture the vibes it exhibits. Peace y’all ✨
A 1994 NYC time capsule. I remember exactly where and when I heard this song for the first time. And I think this was the first song that turned me out to hip hop.
future62 ralph mcdaniels video music box after school watching these classics for the first time, i remember the first time i saw it aint hard to tell i thought nas was dnice cuz i had never seen him before and they looked alike
+foreverflylove "I don't like when my girl try to pull a Emcee Light, jump out the whip to the train, leave me like D-Nice, they say we used to resemble each other, both last name Jones so we must be brothers". Nas Foul Breeze.
I'm from NC born and raised but spent every single summer of my life in NYC...watching NY Undercover gives me chills. I'm the all time southern scully champ.
In retrospect, this remix & video accelerated the game. Rappers of this era were at home watching realising the extent of their own possibilities in the game. Song remains a certified work of art generations later. ✊🏾
"Man plant seeds that brings forth multiple breeds so many cultures on the planet but one cultures free" 🤯 wow he says what a lot of rappers say when they need a whole verse or project for the concept while nas wraps it up in one line
The absolute best ever!!! When Jay said on A Star Is Born “I had Illmatic on bootleg, shit was so ahead, I thought we was all dead” he wasn’t lying. Like damn we gotta compete against this?!
If you wasn't old enough at this time I feel sorry for you, it was the best time to be of age in hip hop I was in Lakeview Long Island at the time freshman in high school
Nas has masterfully woven together narrative elements into each song making them deeply emotional for listeners around the world; earning him a place in history as 'the king'.
"My insight enlightens vision words of wisdom niggas pay me intuition to listen the murder power grabs the mysticism" Does anyone realise how insane the world play is in this song? almost as good as one love CRAZY
You can feel the energy the 90s was Griiiimmmy!!! Make me wanna get a Versace shirt and rock it with nothing underneath but a gold chain with a mug on drinking with the homies rollin dice 😂😂😂
Wow. Never heard this version. Nas continues to raise the heaviest of bars into the stratosphere, while the hip hop world sleeps in his shadow. That second verse... Oh man.
I feel such a deep connection to NY it’s so crazy. Even though I’m not from there. I spent a week there my senior year in high school and never felt so at home. Peace from Kansas City
