you know....shit got serious...when he starts it off with."and the skies got darker...next up.. nasir vs Peter Parker..yo no lie the images and scenes I can imagine are so raw it's unreal I can see a motion comic come to life...and continue this alternate universe and explore it...
My 7th grade physical science teacher showed me this a loooong time ago. Every morning he would play a song or read a poem and ask what we thought. He played this and everyone was loving it. That day everyone seemed to have a lot more to say about the subject.
Surprised this concept was never turned into a video game, especially considering some rappers ended up on the PS2 back in the day after this song. This is beyond dope, one of the best creative hip-hop tracks of all times. 💯🎮
This song is so dope. I'm 44 and have known this song forever. How did this NOT blow up around the MCU success? I get a tear every time I hear "we got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker".
"He couldn’t see me with my applejack hat and high-tops Colossus and Cyclops, I got No I.D. and Y-Not” Being from Chicago just hearing the name "Y-Not" took me baaaaacck!
I been looking for this song for years.. I heard it one time back in 03 and loved the concept and it stuck in my mind for 17 years. I had no idea who was the artist or the name of the song but I’m glad I finally found it lol
My bio on xbox has been "illmatic versus radioactive in the rotten apple where the dead linger" for years and years. Last Emp is masterful with the rhymes.
This is the best part for me especially the way he described it "This is the final battle as the stratosphere gets darker We got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker Nasty Nas at “Halftime,” head-ringer versus the web-slinger Illmatic versus radioactive in the Rotten Apple where the Dead linger. He cursed the day that spider ever bit him And gave him a copy of his second LP, It Was Written"
@@lita6963 I love it.. I graduated high school in 97 but listened to mostly southern hip hop because I’m from New Orleans. Just found this gem few months ago and I been diving into the emperor’s stuff. Guy is mad talented
Maan!! This is siiiick, still drives me crazy like the very first time I heard this great story/song and that was like 15 years ago back in high school and it's still greatest story/song recorded... Mad Genius - - R.I.P G O A T
Im from the 90s and your speaking FACTS! I am proud I used this track to school my kids off this mumble rap garbage. My kids are comic book fans and the entire concept and flow blow their minds.
I just... miss THIS. Still dope and whenever I think of something that an emcee did that was amazing, I remember this song aside songs like "Gave You Power" by Nas. Last Emperor himself has to be in part 3. #Boom
Man, I'd love to know if anyone ever bought this to Stan Lee's attention before? I'd love to think that he heard it and loved it, although I highly doubt he knew who 99% of the rappers in it were! But still, he certainly knew who the comic book characters were!!!
This still goes hard as fuck. Been pumping this since high school and i'm 35 now!
+boc813
Same here.
Same here. Wish he stayed making music
+boc813 34 here. This was (and still IS) some next level type shit when it dropped. The 2000 generation missed out on the illest shit ever.
boc813 I'm 25 doing the same shit
Man, you sound like my uncle. Hope you ain't as crazy lmao
2003 - 2004 there I was in Pietermaritzburg South Africa. I heard this song and I was never the same. The Emperor will rule forever.
I've been listening to Hip Hop my entire life and this still holds as one of the greatest stories ever
I can think in real underground without this song
Damn. Was listening to this on the way to work this morning. RIP Stan Lee.
Why'd you have to remind me... 😞
😭😭
The last emperor says hi.
More proof that Philly got the BEST MC’s ever!
Yeah,yeah its common sense. Ice man tried to freeze me,so i took him Chicago and told him to take it easy...
you know....shit got serious...when he starts it off with."and the skies got darker...next up.. nasir vs Peter Parker..yo no lie the images and scenes I can imagine are so raw it's unreal I can see a motion comic come to life...and continue this alternate universe and explore it...
Last emperor is so slept on.
2022 still bumping this shit 💪 ... favorite last emperor track ...

It’s not too late. It still could
This song is so dope. I'm 44 and have known this song forever. How did this NOT blow up around the MCU success? I get a tear every time I hear "we got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker".
oh man if skills sold...
I seriously thought he got everyone that he talks about to come in and record their parts for the longest time.
@@dannyguzman7052 WORD me too! I was thinking about this song just the other day and that's when I realized that it was him
@@howardjohnson1688 but he does sound like Redman without trying
It does
Sadly his deal with Dr Dre fell through
"He couldn’t see me with my applejack hat and high-tops
Colossus and Cyclops, I got No I.D. and Y-Not”
Being from Chicago just hearing the name "Y-Not" took me baaaaacck!
4:08..."The military punisher Big Rock just broke Roadblock's baaaaack!!!"
😂
Bro i looked down and seen this comment at the exact time he said that lol wtf
1st song i went to when i heard stan passed. r.i.p stan!!!!

I'm glad he mentioned Ras Kass, my fave
This joint still hard as hell! I've been listening to this since 1998. wow.
Dam...this song brings back such great memories..miss the 90's ..☹
This definitely brings it back to high school days for me.
Last Emp. True lyricist. Deep and thoughtful. .
This song... My two favorite things rolled into one experience. Word life, nuff said.
Thank you soley and I am glad you liked it
you said it perfectly thumbs up
I been looking for this song for years.. I heard it one time back in 03 and loved the concept and it stuck in my mind for 17 years. I had no idea who was the artist or the name of the song but I’m glad I finally found it lol
Congratulations dog
🏆
RIP STAN LEE ur characters put a hell of a fight.
Last Emp... One of my all-time favorites
My bio on xbox has been "illmatic versus radioactive in the rotten apple where the dead linger" for years and years. Last Emp is masterful with the rhymes.
27 April 2024 and It was a great day to take a W then come home and listen to this at 21:20
Nas vs peter Parker is fire
Such an underrated banger. Thought it would Forsure blow up one day
Classic joint unmatched
This is the best part for me especially the way he described it "This is the final battle as the stratosphere gets darker We got Nasir Jones versus Peter Parker Nasty Nas at “Halftime,” head-ringer versus the web-slinger Illmatic versus radioactive in the Rotten Apple where the Dead linger. He cursed the day that spider ever bit him And gave him a copy of his second LP, It Was Written"
This song popped in my head today out of nowhere.... I miss that late 90s nyc underground scene toooo many nice mc’s
I first
heard this in 9th grade back in 1998. It was the hottest shit I'd ever hear
This song did reach a mil. It sad to know that people never heard this masterpiece
this is pure genius , rap + comics🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish musician and hip hop artist got paid for talent and skill!!
Still listening to this lol this song should have gotten way more love
Why haven't i listened to this gem in years😭🔥🔥🔥
This track is too crazy, MTV TRL has to come back just to see a videoclip of this insane banger!
*someone has to do us a favor and do a video for it.
One Philly Blunt, A Dime Bag of Chocolate Thai, 5 wings and beef fried rice and 2 loosies, Fanta Grape and Last Emperor Underground Tape.
dont forget the lil debbie swiss rolls amen
Fried rice? Hard pass
Everything else tho
Here in 2024 still loving this song.

Im from the 90s and your speaking FACTS!
I am proud I used this track to school my kids off this mumble rap garbage.
My kids are comic book fans and the entire concept and flow blow their minds.
Born in 83 grew up in the 90s. This is without a doubt one of the best records I ever heard. So creative
This is the greatest song ever made in history... I miss the days when we used to learn from music.
BUT REGGIE NOBLE DROPS HIM WITH TWO BRICK-CITY PUNCHES!
By words from the Genius, said he still my rhymin' hero
Still one of the hardest tracks ever! Happy 50th yo!
Probably the best hip hop song ever made imo
I just... miss THIS. Still dope and whenever I think of something that an emcee did that was amazing, I remember this song aside songs like "Gave You Power" by Nas. Last Emperor himself has to be in part 3. #Boom
