This song is pure poetry. The song focus on the collective thoughts of Nas in the course of a day. Parts of the song he speaks of his confidence at the same time he speaks of his shortcomings.... a very transparent look at an artist....I'm appreciative for the song.... this song should been called random thoughts of a poet from Queens
"Something is fishy....Something is bothering me....I just cant figure it out....something right under my tounge I can't speak it can't spell it yo its buggin me out...somebody doing something wrong to somebody I know....and somehow it's related to me...and now I'm frustrated cuz now I'm focusing to hard on something that's to plain to see"
Nas saved my life thru his Rap when I was at the fork in the road, actually listening to the Man music help me see things in a different perspective N make better decisions #1 for me : nothing but Respect N Love
I think aside from his obvious lyrical ability and writing, the thing that separates Nas from other great rappers is his humility and how candid he is in his raps about his true thoughts and feelings. It’s something I’ve always appreciated about Nas and there aren’t many artists who are so relatable in this way. Nas is my favorite MC of all time and it isn’t really close.
+Jordan this isn't 91' man. You can tell that just by the lyrics. 91' Nas hadn't even released an album, so he wasn't thinking about doing a show in Japan. I think this is more between HHID and Untitled era.

@CyberChip_ Saying he likes this track more than anything from Jay Z's discography is not "tearing down" another human being, they're are simply giving their opinion. We need to stop the strawman arguments and actually listen to what people are saying.
@@hortinus he could've just said it's dope. Bringing Hov, another legend, just to say this track is better than anything the person heard of Jay's catalog is bringing Jay down. Both are legends, and both made sure this culture we call Hip Hop can continue living.
Alot of the best tracks are similar in just being honest thoughts and ramblings. This guy dropped out of High School and puts words together better than the rest of the world.... this shit is incredible
"Proctor and Gamble toxins demand you understand whos trying to jam you" I miss rap that's sparks intellectual thought and spiritual enlightment. Thats hip hop for the culture not whats being propagated today, which is leading to mischief and self destruction!
Dionna Taylor I write pretty entricate but most are scared to compare themselves to NAS I mine I can rhyme the same if not better and longer then NAS just I don't know if my lyrical content could compare tho
February 7th, 2024 I’m from QUEENSBRIDGE & this is my first time hearing this .. NAS is the Greatest .. Shit sound like A unreleased KD or Magic Song 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Insane how far ahead of everybody he is ..
Im from Italy but here in italy in some Rome zones we have something like Queens bridge of Harlem... And knowing english the times that Nas Is spitting are Amazing and real
What's crazy about this song is that the whole time he's tryna describe different events, thoughts, scenes, etc...in the most savvy way he possibly can....that's why at the end he says "as I struggle to be savvy". Now listen to the song again and you'll see what I'm talkin about...shit crazy. Gotta be the best to eva do it!
I had to listen to this song several times to really catch where the chorus begins and ends. The chorus actually changes throughout the song, wow. 🤯 and that last verse was super deep. Nas is the greatest rapper ever.
Nas has been my favorite rapper for all of my life, pure knowledge.....further more he's just the *******best, and for the record this can't be contested, according to me #realtalk
When I'm stoned (right now especially) I listen to nas and when you listen to his older songs you realize that back in the day he had to use so much effort into making it sound perfect, respect to nasir
This that gritty winter New York night music. Getting money on the block with the timberland boots and bubble down goose coats. Rap in its purest form right here

Nas was never bred to make you dance. He was bred to make you look and listen. SIMPLE!! HIS MISSION WAS DIFFERENT.
Well said.
Contemplative retrospective
Intelligence invested
Wisdom derived from multiple lives
And perspectives
What do you mean? "Way before rap he did wanna be the tap dance kid on Broadway, 42nd street"... 😁
Fym I be bopping to Nas like any dance song 👌🏽
Straight up
Finding this stoned was life changing lol
still listening bro

He’s the best on these mystic vibe type tracks.

Facts kid

I love how Nas is so vulnerable and honest with himself, just a pure stream of thought. Nas always has been in a class of his own, to me.
Nas is the goat

The poet. It's the flow. The cadence. The rhymes. Word choice. Breath control. The stories in every bar. And the inimitable voice. GOAT!
Nas is the Einstein of rap. An absolute genius. His lyrics have to be READ to be fully appreciated.
Straight up GENIUS level IQ. GOAT.
Rakim, Kane, G rap, and KRS are the Einstein of hip-hop, Nas the bright pupil.
@@essence600Nas the goat, even Rakim and them had to have somebody pave the way for them

This is ethereal, just straight up art. GOAT.
Nas is a beast. I was listening to Ether earlier today. Jay Z got smoked, damn.
Amina A lol he sure did. I'm a Hov fan too, but he really did get murked. Are you a Jay Z fan?
***** He's ok, but I felt bad for him after that ether..
Amina A LOL, word. Hope all is well with you.
***** Yes. Same to you
One of the best who ever did it. Still does it.
The 🐐
Look out
THE best to do it
And look now. All the albums he released with Hit Boy and the one he’s now cooking with DJ Premier. Undoubtedly deserving of the #1 of all times.
I've been bumping Nas since 94. I don't know how I missed this one? It's amongst the illest Nas joints I've ever heard 💯
Terrell Craig yeah. Me too. Just been bumping it on rewind non stop, all night.
ABSOLUTELY
Same here! I thought I'd done heard all of Nas's tracks but this one smacked me in the face like a fresh NYC bagel in the morning 🤌
never released
Nas saved my life thru his Rap when I was at the fork in the road, actually listening to the Man music help me see things in a different perspective N make better decisions #1 for me : nothing but Respect N Love
This beat is soo hard... yet soo sublime. Dayum
So there are more indians listening to Nas
I thought i had all Nas songs but then i found this and Take it in blood 2 today. Both tracks are quintessential Nas. The GOAT.
If you look harder you can find about 30 more unreleased gems.

Finally a million views, officially one of my fav songs Nas ever released 💞
1991 :)
+Jordan There's no way this is from 1991. He didn't rap like this back then.
Dark Matter he probably meant the pic

I always think the same
Daniel Hacohen a lot of his songs are like that
What is it about?
Exactly
@@maxwellsommer1731 lol
If you're listening to this, you've been blessed.
Third verse is why he's the greatest.
This is why that I love Nas because he delivers nothing but pure lyricism. He’s not a legend for nothing.
A "TRUE" descendant of "RAKIM".
This guy is a legend for sure in his own right !!
G.O.A.T......nothing else to say
TRUE
Omar Scruggs Rakim is the greatest however I accept your opinion because he is so close lyrically Nas is my#2
I wish he would do a song with Rakim
Nas and black thought co goats !
A😮
Greatest lyricist who’s ever lived!
Facts!!!
The smoothest most effortless sounding flow of all time. Simply incredible.
Nas unreleased track that’s better than anything I ever heard from Jay Z
I hear you but it’s pointless to compare them. Different styles like Coltrane and Miles. Peace
@welldweller22 agreed, I can never understand why giving someone prompts has to include tearing someone else down.

People should wake up. Nas preaching exactly what is happening now. No wonder this was not his popular song
What’s he saying
Being a youngin & listening to old school is amazing bro…
This song is so dope! Nas's lyrics are pure genius. Who writes this entricate? He is an assassin with the pen.
from the the rhyme schemes to the way he stays in pocket. How every rhyme lands on the 4 shit of a lyricist.
*Intricate
