I grew up with Nas as my number one. My little sister grew up with Cole as her number one. Yall can imagine how amazing this remix was for us to rock together. This shit is timeless
When Nas remixed the chourus and said "Slick Rick was like Jesus, Cool G rap wrote the Bible" that shit made me teary eyed. This remix was legendary 🐐🐐
This gives me that same feeling of a father reassuring his son that he's walking the right path while acknowledging his son is a man in the most respectful way. Its absolutely beautiful.
After this Cole and Kendrick diss situation, and Cole's apology making the rap nation crucify him on a stake of cowardice, I had to rush here finding this as therapy. Seeing what they are doing to Cole breaks my heart. But I know Cole's going to resurrect from this tomb they are trying to lock him in. It will be a greater glory and he is going to have more on his side. I believe this is the way of purposeful sons. I stand with Cole a 100 times.
honestly with how badly Drake was beat up I feel people are seeing Cole was actually clever to realize the beef wasn't about him and that he should just bail
This moment was so monumental, two different generation of rappers on the same track to spit their truth about how they feel about one another when it comes to rapping. Both Nas and J Cole are the 🐐s and I even shedded tears listening to this track because hip hop was resurrected with this one
A strong case can be made that this is the Illest hip hop song ever. It captures the essence of the culture. The importance of this track can’t be measured.
Cole spits direct and from the heart and i immediately understand. when Nas spits, I need to hear it a few times before I fully understand. Nas is a poet. 🤷🏻♀️ anyway this song is emotional and comes full circle beautifully 🌏
The chills I get watching this, the excitement, the stank face from the lyrics, the want to look up and understand this just to know this is why I love music.
I imagine this chorus as a wedding toast. As a groom hailing the bride's dad. I know this is a different story, but that's how I pictured this song in my head. Like a problematic family in a gathering with the scores settled in peace, especially at the last chorus. Beautiful shit!
This is thee greatest song every recorded as far as hip is concerned on so many levels this just crazy I can’t believe how PERFECT THIS SONG IS this song is the greatest song ever no questions asked
Bro i just found out about this story and I can’t keep my tears in my eyes. That’s culture man, and culture is the page of human kind that gives them worth. Never gonna forget this shit.
This is Hip-Hop to the core! Hip-Hop in its purest, rarest form. This is what we need to be hearing in Hip-Hop. 2 students of the game from different eras that became the greatest of their generation settling their differences and setting the record straight. Hip-Hop is alive
They didn’t have differences to settle dude smh it wasn’t nowhere near that deep like do you even know the situation? Or you can’t comprehend the verses?
@@JudahsAwakening sir, I’m just voicing my perspective if that’s ok with you, I’m a fan of both these dudes. I’m very familiar with the situation they both talked about it in this song. I’m not about argue with another grown man about 2 other grown men. But if you have something to say in regards to my ignorance speak on it I’d be more than glad to hear your perspective respectfully.
Ain’t nothing to talk about it wasn’t a beef it wasn’t a issue so there was no differences to settle, j cole put out some shit that nas felt like was beneath him as an artist. That’s it that’s all, in all actuality that’s a compliment for somebody to say something is beneath you that means they hold you in extreme high regards right???
@@JudahsAwakening who said it was a beef? I said there was differences they settled and you hopped in my comment trynna check me lol 😂 there absolutely WAS a dispute that had to settle. Listen to the song again bro lol
Leaving this comment so everytime someone likes it, I can come back and listen to this masterpiece.
I got tears in my eyes listening to this
@@Dr.J.Kelleytv Come back. It's time.
Been a while hasn't it

Amazing what music can do
hey what was the song that cole dropped that disappointed Nas?

I became numb for a min while listening to this shit ...Cole approved by Nas. What a great gift to us listeners

Not only that… but said how he’s passing on the crown to him. Still get goosebumps
He actually did curse but I feel qhat you saying.
1of the best hip hop songs ever....
Do you even listen to hip hop
No
@@parmar__12 his opinion
3rd verse too deep!!
You can tell Nas rapped from the heart right there, that’s honestly dope that Nas would hop on this track and remix it to pass the torch to J Cole
I get chills listening to this. Two of my favourite artists of all time
This gives me that same feeling of a father reassuring his son that he's walking the right path while acknowledging his son is a man in the most respectful way. Its absolutely beautiful.
Facts
wuuuuh,I'm in tears :"while you was writin down my rhymes,I was jus tryna show you that if you say what's in your mind,you can stand test of time"
Now I’m playing born sinner loud!
Nas verse sends chills down my back
Godly

Cole is an absolute legend. Full of humility.
The other two are not like him. Plain and simple. Different paths.

Oh man...these 2 greats really poured their hearts out. Nas' verse fits in proper. Sh*t is like a collab we never had.🔥🔥
THIS GIVES ME CHILLS EVERYTIME. I BET COLE WAS SHOOK WHEN HE HEARD THAT NAS PART!

Ohh My God. Nas came in like a prophet💯
The greatest response record i ever heard. shit I caught feeling myself hearing it like he was talking to me😂
th-cam.com/video/Lg-ry3QILNE/w-d-xo.html
Somehow my eyes are full listening to this, tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.
This is the classic of all classic's!!!
End of Nas verse, Nas Goes "You ain't let Nas down" and JCole; "Long Live the Idols may they never be your rivals...... " Gives me mad goosebumps!
Seems appropriate to listen to this today. 😢
He did let nas down fr now
You let Nas down stfu.
my pops passed a few months ago, and nas was his favorite rapper. mine has always been cole… still rock this for both us 🙌🏽
The chills I get watching this, the excitement, the stank face from the lyrics, the want to look up and understand this just to know this is why I love music.
One of the greatest rap songs of all time

Not a single cuss word by Nas, pure message. Underrated Brilliance 💯
He used a bunch of curses but I get what you're saying
“This shit was just a kinda just a hobby in my project lobby.” Pretty sure you didn’t listen to the same song. Lol
Man i've been sleeping on rap for too long
how did i miss this legendary track
Goosebumps when Nas jumps on the remix
Once Nas responded with such an iconic motivational verse this became timeless
I am literally having goosebumps listening to this banger!!!...
I am proud to be fan...

Nas is the Goat.
When his time ends, J Cole will be the one sitting on that throne.
A beautiful moment... still here in April 2024...
Bro i just found out about this story and I can’t keep my tears in my eyes. That’s culture man, and culture is the page of human kind that gives them worth. Never gonna forget this shit.

This is beautiful record man. Nothing but love here

This is 1 of the greatest songs of hiphop sooo much knowledge wisdom and game giving they both murdered this 🔥💯❤️🔥
How can anyone hate Nas? Dude is an iconic MC

Hip Hop will live on forever with the musical component representing like this.
Wow this is the highest form of respect a great man can give to another on the rise... Nas ain't let his mama down
Long live the idols may they never be your rivals
Slick Rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the bible
Everybody missing that lunch table beat underneath. That’s the heart of the meaning of the song
This was a legit moment in hip-hop.
Nas killed that with knowledge, while passing the baton. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Am I the only one who believes that Cole sampling Fela on this song was him paying homage to Nas' heritage?
After listening to Nas,I had to sit down.....2 greats on one joint✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
How can industry blind to music solid music. 2 big man in music #2018
When art leaves you speechless.
Not only bitches and guns, rap got feelings too.
