If only Hi-Tech would have produced an entire Nas's album, it would've been history made in Hip Hop.
+Rickards Red What do you mean, "whored himself to labels", you do know that every Nas album including Illmatic was done while he was signed to a major record label right. Nas has been signed to a major his whole 20 plus yr career and as kept it as real as any mainstream artist has. Darkchild was expressing a wish that would also be as true with a plethora of other producers, not just Hi-Tek.
+Rickards Red Bredrin, you sound confused as hell. First you accuse sun of whoring out for labels, now he didn't make enough money, and he's simping, whatever the hell that means. Like I said in my first comment, Nas has kept it real and Hip Hop even though he's been a mainstream artist all his career, he's repped the culture to the detriment of his own pockets. Your first comment made no sense and this one is even worse.
i think this one probably it's majorly produced by dilla
i dont think so Nas has a pure balance if you put hi tek on every track you would not have the same lyrical breakdowns and build ups it lead away from the world scoping thru the ear and nas want hIs magic to lead upon itsself so he cant give us an album with one producer the signs would stray OG
g
only dilla could do that
Nas... that verse..wow.
Guhsteh bruv. Ju get me
He is a painter
Well seasoned🔥
@@naufrage0 like literally?
I just want to take this platform before me, and First in salutations to the older G. NAS as G.O.A.T. his influence on my life is something beyond. This is a reminder Loved ones, we can still always come together because that's something we on here, this song is a tribute and blessing to the. game. Simple
Def one of the best hip hop songs ever produced. Nas is so descriptive with his lyrics, like he's painting a picture for you. Then Common just comes in and his flow is immaculate.
Wayne K 💯
Perfection.
J Bond Nas paints pictures for your ears so descriptive and clear I just close my eyes and listen to this and I’m there. Fucking amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That flute is speaking a language of its own….just crazy. ⭐️⭐️🏆🏆👍🏾👍🏾
Great comment
i find gems when i procrastinate baby
Nas verse... unbelievable...
R.I.P JDilla
Intro does put a lump in my throat...
Hi Tek is so slept on
good god hi tek is a fucking beast
Word up
Dav.K 2000 very very underrated
NAS destroyed this shit, poetry in its highest form
arguably his greatest verse
True. From beginning to end. Nas is Like is some of his best verses to me as well.
you ever heard his song called "film". at this moment i feel that has some of his best verses as well
M Davis Yeah its a dope song with crisp visuals.
M Davis great ear; exceptional taste!!
This song hits home. Thank you, Music.
Facts
nas and commons verses were so stellar, must be hi-teks production that got them in that mind frame,,definitely on my list of best hip hop songs of all time..
victor okwaro dope lyrica and amazing beat
Tru bro kinda of fresh air,love from East Africa!!
people like to act like nas and common aint levels but i guess its a blessing to have sight
TRUTH
It is because Tek is respected by artists as much as Dilla is.
Sad this kind of music can't be mainstream
It wouldn't be the same if it was mainstream. This is our stream 💜
Sad, I never heard this til now. Beautiful.
We have to advocate for music diversity on our airwaves. These stations/DJs are on social media; so lets make our appeal, call them out, request quality music and artists. No dis/hate to those getting airplay, their music has its place but they got a lot of growing to do. In the meanwhile, the public deserves better. Once we know the music we want exists, as Joe&Jane Public, we must demand it. #HiphopRevolution
Beautiful homage to the spirit of Music. Thanks for this 💎, it needs to be on air now, daily. Self declared "hip hop heads" must speak up for their music/culture and confront radio managers/DJs on the need for balance in their music format. #HiphopRevolution #MusicAdvocacy #passion4music
It CAN be mainstream if ppl insist on it. No different than protesting and voting to change social policy and elected officials. #ProactiveHiphopHeads
Common killed it. "Aggression became sessions where sess is burned. "
only thing is its better listening to it via a stereo or headphones. that flute is hypnotizing.
The IronHorse 💯
Vinyl
Props for Marsha doing vocals! Everyone keep on forgetting her haha
Arielle B 💯
Arielle B marsha got a voice of a goddess
No we are not. Its obvious she's a beast with the vocals.
I thought that was her beautiful voice 💯🔥👏👏
Word
Nas the goat 🐐 still to this day his talent ain’t been matched but hey that’s just my opinion
Mc juice?
One of my Favorite hip hop songs
I forgot all about this song. In the midst of mumble rap this song cried out from my TH-cam page
11.15.2019 checking in. Nas and Common did something real special on this track.
"It started with rhythms I heard listenin' to the wall
the bouncin' of basketballs on playgrounds and all
the empty bottles is hollow, wind blowin' inside 'em
the flow and the rhymin' got my alignment to a science"
Holy shit, both the imagery in and delivery of those lines. And really the whole song continues to be on point, too. Love that it has Nas and Common, easily my two favorite MCs. Everything about this song is pure quality.
PunchlineEverytime Exactly. Well written, you sumed up what experience it is for real hip hop listeners.
music for life RIP j dilla..
PunchlineEverytime I couldn't of said it better than you God.
2nd best storyteller. 1st slick rick
Hahahahaha facts
I'm 13...and in today's generation I find this really good
This is one of the most amazing beats in Hip Hop history props to J.Dilla, Busta is life changing in this! One of the best tracks ever.
Auxillary Assasian so underrated
MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PASSION SINCE I WAS A KID
Long Live Dilla Peace
The sampled song is "Air Born" (1976) from the progressive rock band Camel.
This is the first time I hear prog music being sampled... And it sounds AWESOME!!!!
Isn't th-cam.com/video/tjRa-Zh-efo/w-d-xo.html also considered to be prog music. Dilla destroyed that ... th-cam.com/video/FccfybtCMzc/w-d-xo.html
outkast also sampled the same genesis song as well. but a different part. OutKast feat. Goodie Mob - Y'All Scared
in fact i grew up listening to tons of underground, sample based hip hop.. and whenever i throw on classic prog, soul or jazz records i'm always hearing samples that i heard back in the day in song and its like OH MANNN thats where they got that.. it's great. some just a simple loop but they give it a completely different feel by the drums and percussion they use.. real hip hop forever!
You gotta listen harder
Nas's first (effortless) bar on this with such a delicate tone of wisdom have me rewind it every single time. I mean the track couldve stopped at his first bar and still would be a classic joint. I'm stuck at Nas's bar yall... How the others sound?
Shakur Marega My favorite Nas verse, all due respect to verbal intercourse
M Davis that vers was used in Deja Vu but it didn't get to release on The Lost Tapes hopefully he makes a a second one and puts it there one of Nas's Illest tracks.
That intro is priceless.
J dilla is a hero
common fuckin snapped
+Blade Ashuma one of his best and truest couples :)
Common effortlessly killed his verse. Every artist did their thing on this song.
Except the lame last guy😅. Dude was trash!
Common adds something special ✨🎶
Hi-tek holding his own with Nas and common, who even does that!!! dude is legit!!!
The detail in this beat is INSANE
Shit never gets old stands through the sands of time
This shit will never end, yo.
I wish music like this was on the radio instead of toxic bullshit. Love Hi Tek for life. The agenda doesn't let positive shit on the airwaves
MY SOUL AND SPIRIT NEEDS THIS EVERY DAY
still blasting this pure gem....timeless
Father did his blues smooth, legendary jasmine, saw his wife secondary to his true passion🤐🤐🤐Oh lord
Miki Feao the rhyme scheme in that line
*Jazzman. But yea that line is incredible
Jazz man* lol
No matter how many times I hear this song, it touches my soul as if it was brand new.❤🖤💚!
simply amazing. Nas is my favorite of all time and then Butsa kills it from the heart
Nasty Nas has always been my favorite. His verse with this music almost brings tears to my eye's.
The beat is pure bliss...rip j.dilla
Talib kweli and black thoughts should of had a verse to this
Black Thought would've destroyed this track with a verse. He's really slept on.
Would of been the greatest hip hop song of all time with them or Mos Def and take out Busta sorrry lol
I could hear mos def on this
@@jonathansantos4465 lol. Nah-keep Bus...just add thought and bey.
Ya but its so rare to have that many A1 lyricists on one track.
Listen Carefully to what Busta Rhymes says at the end of the track .... Wise Words.
Raw DanDan yes Trevor
.......😔💯
THIS TRACK IS EVERYTHING!!!
brings back so many memories, nas killed it.
Nigel Uchiha Nas destroyed it they never should of let him go 1st
Nigel Uchiha he always does
Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry.
Hi-Tek holds his own with 2 of the most talented rappers of all time. Huge respect to Hi-Tek. 3 master level demonstrations of method
Favorite Nas verse
Marsha Ambrosia
🔥🎯💯💙
2023 real hip hop
This is what heaven sounds like
When I first heard this song.... I swear I wasn't afraid to say I loved music. I think I even cried. Crazy.
And now I forgot how to cry 😭 can't see em coming down my eyes to I gotta make this song cry 😢
Joint is poetry at it's finest..I miss music like this!!!!!!
R.I.P J Dilla
nas and common album please
Hip Hop G.O.A.Ts lost in the harmony of MUSIC.
"I like my music pure, not watered down."
LaMia Mae 💯
NO COMPROMISE.
Word life
how come I am starting to feel that J Dilla was the rawest DJ in hip hop.REST IN PEACE
Because he was the best producer to have ever lived.
Marvin Tinsley why you coming out with that on a Hi Tek track?
Buck Wilde cos it's the truth bruh, even hi tek would agree
This song right here is legendary...
I mean Dilla, Nas, Tek, Common, Marsha omg Marsha, damn shit is EPIC
never heard this before , man this track is so smooth, this is the close your eyes , rockin your head kind of music , love this track
That opening gets me everytime. From start to finish and everything between..this is a beautiful song
Music is for Life. And this is it. Nas with the imagery. The flute is a ride on it's own. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Floetry!!!!
#MarshaGivesMeSoMuchLife
So, I was bumping this in a Rover at the time..like 06 07'. I cried literally, had to pull over. Music like this is so pure. #Salute
Felt that
I like my music straight pure not watered down....damn
no matter the money or the movies,music is first.
Nas verse..can listen to it over and over
H-Tek is too goddamn slept on. The shit he did with DJ Crucial was incredible
this is quality music...that flute in the back too!
if you like it, have a look on the original : air born by camel ;)
RIP DILLA!!!
this is the real hip hop
forgot how insanely good this album was
Man...used to vibe on Hi-tek back in college. Refreshing to give it a listen again now to contrast the unfortunately high volume of BS superficial rap music being circulated these days. This is GOOD HIP HOP.
Nas verse reminds me of the scene from Beat Street when dude was making that beat.
One of the best producers,Hi Tek
This song is peaceful
Nas!
this whats it about ... gotta bring this feeling back to the people
stacks era 💯
This is probably one of the hardest tracks ever made
Gorgeous illustrious nas verse
nas is just the greatest
One of the greatest songs of all time when it comes to a track written about how beautiful music really is... This will always rock with me!
Found this joint on limewire when I was like 9. This shit resonates with my soul.
My Favorite Song Of All Time! 🙌🏾 some of the greatest lyricist speaking on what music was to them and how it changed theirs lives. The message of this song is so inspirational and it makes me wonder what happened to the music of our generation. I just turned 18 and even though we have actual rappers, lyricists, and storytellers, they're masked by the fake artists that came in the game just to make a dollar. It's a shame what happened and I can only hope that all the true artists and the fans of true music and hip-hop will help spark a revolution and bring rap back to its best years of the late 80's to the early/mid 00's. Only then we may be able to bring back the beautiful, and miraculous poetry and rhythm combined together that once was hip-hop
i love your comment from paris
hell yeah, I feel you on that
+cavani edinson nice comment from San Diego California
I feel the same G I'm 18 and music nowadays can't even stroke past this real hip hop 1974-1999 in mainstream and it's still lives in the underground but it's mad weak right now.
Give me a call
Yea, yea
It started with rhythms I heard listenin' to the wall
The bouncin' of basketballs on playgrounds and all
The empty bottles that's hollow, wind blowin' inside 'em
The flow and the rhymin' got my alignment to a Science
Mixin' with my moms in the kitchen, them spoons rattlin'
Pots and pans, faucet water pourin', tunes managin'
To come from all the fussin' and ramblin'
What I noticed was -- pure music, untampered with
By things show biz does; older thugs showed us stuff
Like how to hold a plug, juice from the street light
It almost could have blowed us up
Crates of records, great sessions had the whole hood jammin'
Large speakers, fresh made, smell the wood sandin'
Father did his blues smooth, legendary jazz man
Saw his wife secondary to his true passion
Started with my crew rappin', new jacks in '82
Never looked back, now look what it changed me to.. music
[Chorus #1: Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry]
We gotta believe the future
We gotta believe the past
We gotta believe in more
Didn't know that we had it
We gotta believe each other
We gotta open up our minds
'Cause music is for life.. for life
[NEXT MESSAGE]
[Verse Two: Hi-Tek]
Uh, what's the difference between me and you?
It's that I'm real kind show, this rap s***, I'd really do it
My whole life man is really music
Through my bass line, I'm livin' through it
Another expression of life, I couldn't live without it
I like my music pure, not watered down
d***!, it felt good to fulfill the dreams of gettin' out the hood
Kept me busy, gave me a chance to stop sellin' drugs
Spinnin' time in the basement kept me from actin' up
Zonin' out, wishin' Dre. could check it out
I'm here now, I can't believe it, Proof in the puddin'
Everything happened for a reason
Through this music I'm able to feed the family
When I'm stressed out, it's my insanity
It's a life style, all in the streets and in Hollywood
Music in my DNA, it's my livelihood.. music
[Chorus #2: Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry]
We gotta believe the children
We gotta believe in hope
We gotta believe in more
Didn't know that we'd know
See we gotta believe each other
We gotta open up our minds
'Cause music is for life.. for life
[NEXT MESSAGE]
[Verse Three: Common]
Keep the music alive
The good and the strong survive
I closed my eyes and imagined I was 'Jackson Five'
Randy and Michael goin' through life cycle
Music alive leader, let life go
So vital to a youngster, comin' up amongst street hustlers
The big be the toucher's, since such a special place
Givin' the ghetto a taste of what freedom is like
I reached a point in my life where I was needin' the mic
No second guessin', self-expression in lessons learned
Aggression, became sessions where sessions burned
Put my soul into it, 'naw my feet is firm
And the game, where name is hard to earn
And hot cat's career gets scared and burn
Through the years, mine took a Godly turn
This is the story of my life here trapped in a verse
No matter the money or the movies, music is first, yea..
[Chorus #1: Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry]
[Chorus #2: Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry
Can't believe you got nas on this
Is that Marsha Ambrosius on the vocals?
Orneno Wright . Yes it's her.
But Of Course
!🎶🎙🎧
Yessir
Yes mam!!!! She is dope as f&$#!!!
Damnnnn....underrated masterpiece
Nas's verse....
Nas a Sick RAPPER
Air Born by Camel, such a classic !
Believe in more than all we know....John 17:3....it means our lives....
MUCH LOVE FROM TURKEY
Best album ever
"I reached a point in my life when I was needing a Mic" 🎤 Common,
Used to love this song
Organic dedication to my one and only love... Music! It's everything..
I remember when BET used a snippet this song on a commercial and I was just thinking I wanna hear the whole song! It took me years to find the actual song because I thought it was a Nas song. I wished it got more love then but I will always support my hip hop and give the most love! Thanks Hi-Tek!
Marsha sounds so good over hip hop beats
That flute a fool on here😂❤
Real music that inspire the mind
Andre Nash 💯
I can’t believe that it’s mid March of 2022 and this is the first time I’ve heard this gem 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
