@@rossboss5072 Exactly lol Nas Was In That And Co Produced A Daughter.... Destiny....

Vlad will never get Nas Because he can't even get Jungle and Jungle loves telling mad stories

Exactly lol I can't wait for that. Vlad stay hating on nas

Nope he won't

He kept that energy with Salaam Remi, so we'll see.

Exactly!!

Preach

🤣🤣🤣🤣

"And I threw a blanket over them cuz it was cold"

85jmurk Lmmfao

Damn I’m late to this meme. How did this start?

@@Butterd4t4ss its cuz tk always has something to say about everyone if u mention a name

Facts. Word to motha dun-dun.

Up there with Rakim in my opinion

lee Boy nice on the mic. Main Source... What??!!

lee yea his voice dope

his voice is very similar with Big Daddy Kane

You got the link to the remake you did?

@@KBplay It's the second most current song on my RU-vid channel

@Melker Linder Gustafsson That song is *extra classic* too. When I first heard it as a teenager in the 90s it blew my mind

slamming beats like iron sheik 🔥

Nas said he is the biggest Michael Jackson fan

I completely agree...this song is straight FIRE, no one ever told a story like this before or since in my opinion. #1 Nas song ever, and Top 10 hip hop song of all time

Carlos Shelby Jr. 👊🏻

It was so influential that Tupac came out with "me and my girlfriend" to rival Nas's song about a gun. Pac knew that shit was tight because he came with that later after it dropped😂😂

i agree

52093850

🤨....I was peeping that too.

Ikr

Shit is crazy Dunn

MILAN FERNANDEZ I agree. I still listen to it in 2019

@Melker Linder Gustafsson yeah, I think It Was Written was Nas most complete album. Illmatic is definitely his most influential. My personal favorite is Stillmatic. His most slept on is Street's Disciple...that album has aged like top-notch fine wine.

Melker Linder Gustafsson not even close! Illmatic far superior!

The Lost Tapes /Bootleg version of I Am is amazing too...Nas catalog stands up with any mc

Nope. That accolade belongs to OB4CL. And no It Was Written isn't better than Illmatic but Nas' rhymes were better on It Was Written. Way more well rounded rhymes that have more complexity to them.

D Goins : STRAIGHT FACTS. Never a skip or Fast Forward. You listened to it straight through. 💪🏾💯

Memory Lane is my favorite.

Vlad just drop the whole interview. We're fiending for it bruh

@ourworlds atwar what do you think?

@@vladtv soundcloud.com/drazmusic/the-future-vox

@@vladtv Check the joint I sent. L Jamar would dig it.. drazmusic@gmail.com

Ok?

Yeah I thought Large Pro would've mentioned that. Nas said that in his documentary.

@@itdoesntmatterwhoweare but where did illmatic ice get the term "illmatic" from

@@dizmop Ill means Sick which is slang for cool, matic is like the word dramatic or systematic

@@mr.cifuentes1779 so It's possible that the Album was also named after that word, like Large P says

@@dizmop like Professor said its Queensbridge slang

What you know about that?!... lol... Tip bodied that joint!

If you gew up in nyc im the 90s thay beat brings you home 1

Bruh.......I cant listen to the Pete Joint no more after the Tip Mix lmao

And Still big facts!

TERRANCE SLAUGHTER: YO! THAT REMIX IS EVERYTHING!!!!

Nas firat album was his best-Vlad

I'm waiting for that question, probably on the next part

Bodied the original version

#Fire

"Yo, that stress shit is ill, if you let it, it will Have on your ass on the staircase, smoking a krill"

Thats my joint! Fire!

“cause everybody know my solution to being stressed is looking at the front door.” #MicDrop

The intro reminds me of weed smoke going in the air. A smokey vibe. Like Tibetan Gongs,sounds mystical. Like Q tip said Nas is a Ghetto Monk

Only song i skip on illmatic........

Wack simple beat

One Time 4 Your Mind is wack af compared to the other songs on the album. I always skip that song. Even every song on Nas' demo was better

@@tochiRTA Yeah, high on Nas' best songs. Notice when Elzhi remade Illmatic with his classic mixtape Elmatic, he redid every single song *except* "One Time 4 Your Mind". My cousins and friends who like Illmatic don't care for the song either. Guess it's an aquired taste

Its is

Life’s a Bitch for me but then Ain’t Hard to Tell and NYSOM

Simus Says “Mr. Scarface is back” is the real ILLMATIC . Scarface first solo project from beginning to end was all bangers not one out of pocket song just straight fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@rolltide2937 album was amazing (one of the best album covers) but its in no way illmatic. My favorite face albums though.

Simus Says Face out did him self on that album it came out before ILLMATIC so Nas had to hear how a perfect album could be made he just duplicated what Face had already did!!!!! The only difference to me is Nas gave a NYC point of view and Scarface showed the Houston side of the game!!!!!! The only reason I give him credit is how he uses abstract symbolism were Face just gets straight to the point on some real G shit Scarface didn’t start writing with deep abstract metaphors until he dropped Face To Face the World is yours!!!!!! Which was another fucking monster album!!!!!! Nas is truly one if not the greatest MC!!!!!!! But Mr. Scarface is back is why more hardcore than ILLMATIC!!!!!!!

Couldnt agree more ,politics

@@tochiRTA We were all waiting for the album, because we was feelin' Nas and all the Producers.

Tone Blue that intro to me was the dopest part of ILLMATIC I remember watching Wildstyles as a kid that made the album more symbolic to me it’s about the love of hip hop then Nas begins to destroy every track and by the end you have to listen to it again because you just don’t want it to end!!!!!!! Just pure uncut dope hip hop!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

ALL FACTZ !!!!!!

Definitely

That's why AZ had the honor to be the only featured artist on that album

It was noooo where near a tie. AZ killed it.

i think both were great and neck to neck. but personally i like nas verse better. it so personal and his delivery is so chill yet strong.... it was out of this world.

it's because vlad only knows about mainstream rappers and doesn't do research

Chuckie Gravesfield he should know more since he was allegedly a DJ before. I didn’t like the fact SAUCE MONEY’s whole interview was about JAY-Z either.

Right I'm from New York but I'm not from Queens but he made me feel like I was from Queens when I'm listening to illmatic bra.

Mine would be MBDTF. The layers and depth in that production and the array of dope ass features is insane. Masterpiece. If I was stuck on an island 20 years ago possibly illmatic. But not in 2019

Jase Allenson Well that would be your opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

One plus One is ILL

Tragedy is the one who coined the term "illmatic."

@@ISmokeBlackieChan : AGREED 👍🏽

It makes me wanna murder for realla i even got a mask and gloves to bust slugs One love ✌

Right got to it put you in the zone I had to hid that album because it my favorite . Since I was a kid remember the first time hear the world is yours in 1994-95 as a kid I was moving my head then my last year of high school in 2004-05 I went and got the album for 10th anniversary.

The Hood Philosophical : Went harder than Nas imo 🔥

U do know white ppl always lived a few blocks away from those projects

So is Memory Lane ,The world is yours.

The first time I heard that song it froze me in my tracks. I teleported to Queens. It was like being abducted.

30 years

I've been saying the same for years. "I'm at the gambling spot my hands on a not NY yankee cap cover my eye stand in one spot take nigga dough send him to his shoebox nigga u lost that put ya dollar in the jukebox"

we've tried

@@vladtv what about joe fatal?

"Shawn Carter to Jay Z...damn you on Jaz d!ck" Nas

makes you wonder why he never worked with the same line up of producers for another album

Heard it was chongo who created the term the illmatcs... It was more like a crew... Like Illmatic ice. I believe ill will was one of them.

Lol

@@illdee04 I thought it was tragedy that coined the term

@@stanspliff92 : yeah,Trag stated it back on da Marley Marl Vol. 1 joint....I tried 2 tell my peeps

Silent murder is fucking CRAZY

Silent murder is fire

I gave you power

@@MRHIPHOPVEGAN That beat slept on. I think that is one Vlad would diss.

Silent murder produced by Live Squad one of Nas hardest joints

Glad does know. But he is asking questions for the viewing public. That’s what an interview is..... Asking questions that EVERYONE probably doesn’t know or would like to know.

@@ultimatetruthteller4169 nope. That was not asked in the fashion for the audience. He clearly did not know what the executive producer role was...you can simply tell by how he worded it.

Large Professor indirectly shaped the Illmatic project by bringing many of the producers in and doing more tacks than anyone. So the concept that he was a sort of "executive producer" is not far fetched; Xtra P by all definitions is the co-executive producer of Illmatic.

@@reimourrpower9357 let me break it down again... Executive producer (EP) is one of the top positions in the making of a commercial entertainment product. Depending on the medium, the executive producer may be concerned with management accounting or associated with legal issues (like copyrights or royalties) That don't sound like Xtra P at all...

@@dn30001 Executive prodcer is also invovleved in the A&R (talent) of a project, direction , theme & sound of a project. Xrta P was involved with all of that and doing 30% of the music plus additional uncredited production. Break that down. See it as you wish.

MiSTaH bOmBAsTiK it was named best verse ever in the source 💯 I agree

The AZ flow is what made the verse stand out but what made the track a classic was the contrast of both verses. The content in Nas's verse is timeless. I was 13 when I heard it back in94, and the idea of seeing my 20th birthday seemed unlikely. If you break it down, that's one of Nas's greatest verses.

Nah Az Bodied Nas and that track

he said illmatic was the exception tho.

@@thebesthereeverwas he also said Stillmatic is meh, Extra P produced You're da man and Rewind on those

Bruce Leeds nah he praised Illmatic

@@M360-w6o STILL-MATIC
