Nas - Street Dreams (Re-Mix Version) 

Nas is legend

I'll b rocking this 4eva one of greatest songs ever composed even the prequel before this was sinful living that shit is classic too listen to it

July 2024

Me

Forever

Yes sad this generation is really lost

Exactly 💯 EVERYTHING he saying is knowledge!!!!!!!

Nothing is correct. This song is classic

Facts

"Nothing beats this." Hahahahahaha you have a really low bar. Production & singing aren't worthy of Nas.

Facts

Maaaaannnn!

I like both equally

He was in da trenches 💯💯💯

This came out the same year as the original Street Dreams. Who knows, this could have been put out first but Nas wanted to troll 2Pac by tapping on his own beat. The lyrics from the Kelly version sounds more like Nas’s style.

Kells..

This is better

FACTS

He was under Wu-Tang's influence. Nas and Raekwon was hanging out a lot in "95 - 96.

@@TonySummerz it was the other way around Raekwon bite his style and stole his slang

@@mpjdu2425 that's why he was the first non Wu member to ever rap with them.

@@mpjdu2425 Raekwon ain't steal Nas slang. Everybody in the rap game was biting Wu-Tang style at that time (Nas included). Rae gave Nas the Esco alias. Nas said it on "Last Real Nigga Alive" that he borrowed from both Raekwon and Biggie. Nas also said "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...." is the greatest hip hop album ever.

Can't touch Pac.

2 legends!

Couldn't have said it any better bro

Right!

Bs because Pac was just as mature if not more

@@illkid86 nas has pac beat. nas is way deeper and he was also younger than pac by 2 years

Couldn't said it any better

@M1CHAEL C0RL3ON3 Come on are you insinuating that Pac wasn't that profound and deep. Pac could quote Shakespeare and was very very intelligent. Book smart and Street smart. Nas is just more laid back. But Tupac is Nas favorite rapper not the other way around. Why do you think Nas copied Tupacs tatoo acroos his belly nigga? Because Nas idiolized Pac. Just facts.

@M1CHAEL C0RL3ON3 And one more thing. When Pac and Nas was both breathing and alive who was making the most noise? Selling the most records? A movie star and sex symbol? Yep, Pac was. Pac just died and wasn't able to reach his full potential. I think Niggaz can't overstand that lol. Dummies

Bonga Halimana oh he not cancelled he still getting music played. I’m still playing him

@@shante70sb WTF does he mean cancelled? lol...

And pissed on it

Wareagle Auburn.... THATS HILARIOUSLY FOUL my G!!!! 😂

R Kelly deserve our prayers straight up mad talented brutha.

Me too. It's Definitely in my top 5 favorite Nas songs

Likewise❤

Yooo..I've been listening to this song on repeat all day(8/18/2023)...I had to watch the video. 💯

I Listen To This Everyday lol Facts @@g_slim

Hell yeah!

Word up

real recognize real, nas is one of the goats

R.kelly was Great On the Hook

I'll say this about Kel, he's a child predator rotting behind bars where he belongs 👍

Facts

Got me out tha streets

My favorite song of his too.

Shit he’ll nah.... this is one of his best lol

Yes sir my best also Fam

all of them are

Nas is the Greatest

nodbt!1000

Stop smoking crack then. Pac is the GOAT, period.

People just say pac and big is because they're dead or have no knowledge about 90's hip-hop. God rest their souls but there were many rappers out in the 90's that were better.

I feel the same when I hear this song

@@jayxtacee5695 Me three.

At least we were there

Me too man.

It's the beautiful melody. It was taken from the Isley Brothers "Choosey Lover". Such a wistful and beautiful melody

he still is and will always be, he will live through his craft, am I right

he still is and will always be, he will live through his craft, am I right

yea that goes for people that cant rap either. knowledge is power get yourself out of your're problems "the world is yours" america ain't perfect but you could have been born in Liberia. count your blessings.

23dlc facts

NY Rappers in the 90s were majority, very much far from ignorant....Nas came from the same "school of thought" as Rakim, Tragedy Khadafi, AZ, Talib Kweli and other rappers that were influenced by the 5%ers, NOI, Malachi Z. York, and others int he NYC black conscious community in the later 80s and early 90s. It was street niggas that were "kicking knowledge" and sharing information with each other about self, while still going out robbing and drug dealing for tax free money.. Hip Hop was all about knowledge....even Smack URL the battle rap league, stands for "S.treets M.usic A.rt C.ulture K.nowledge". It was definitely an interesting era in Hip Hop when there genuinely real substance and profound poetry in raps--while still maintaining a hood appeal, and attracting real gangstas to listen.

Was on DJ clue holiday holdup

lightmajor1 word I had the Fugees album the score and Nas it was written, also earlier that year, Jay Z reasonable doubt... The best he ever made, I feel (ihmo) what a year and what a decade. #90s

Me too

My 10th grade year

Winter 1996 I was in the 7th grade. This is Nas's best song. Kellz killed the hook.

Real talk chi town all day

Facts westside Chi South Austin area coming up around then

not underrated

sirgenius1500 Freeman It really was never a contest. They are theorizing Nas lyrics at Harvard. Jay Z knew the money making formula. Jay is a great lyricist but Nas is a pure Lyricist. He’s been rhyming the same way since the beginning.

Chandler Scaringia it ain’t even close! Jay changed his style cause of nas

Jayz is alright but Nas is talked about among some of the greatest rappers who ever lived.

always was, always will be!

The operative word should be "is", e.g. Nas is really better than Jay-Z to me.

couldn't have said it better.

Nas GOAT

This remix is annoyingly underrated. Nas goat

NGTV beat courtesy of the legendary Isley Brothers. One of the most underrated R&B groups of all time.

The God been ill on the laid back vibes since 94.✊🏾

Yep 👍🏾💯

Love that line. I’ll remember it forever. It’s embedded in my heart now.

Me too, makes me want to cry and I don’t know why

So true.

@@bricksgucci7808 Maybe because it has some type of emotional feel when listening to the song.

This was always one of my favorite Nas tracks just listened to it for the 1st time in years and I teared up. Peace God.

Sincerly me too I listen to it almost everyday for years now .it as this unique sent from.above flow .the tablet of music is divine gift .how an african raised mam like me could stay hooked on nas since 1995 high school days till date now that I am 40years and still meet up with my high school friends reminisce about our adolescent days listening to songs like this and when we first heard this is so deep spiritual and emotionally nostalgic .nas is the greatest from above divine blessed with his talent

His the best rapper

One of my favorite best rapper singers

King Esco

That part.

Brilliantly worded 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥

Word Life

Well said

Big respect...Nas is a true king PAC won't be...Pqc was gifted mouthed but NAS is one exceptional One Klass Of all time...Never compared Elsewhere..

It’s back

I'm still showing youngsters these tracks tho

Really, Against all odds???

BIG FACTZ!!! To call NAS the ringleader was the ULTIMATE SIGN OF RESPECT..

Absolutely correct.

@@IJones-yz6qm I mean Nas was the vocal point and influence of his crew...plus although Pac opposed Nas, nonetheless, he was a poet also so when he called him a ringleader, I believe it was to give a theatrical vibe..certain terms resonate more when you're painting a picture..

@@IJones-yz6qm Pac would be my #1 goat but Nas is definitely coming right after..

Just listen to Rewind.

I know I miss those times

Tell me about it…😩😩😩

Woke up in a cold sweat, yo I hate that!!!!

One of greatest verses of alltime

Facts

Great way to show love to a classic 💯

❤️🙏

@@ceezo3494 ppp

You better pray for the healing of all the victims of this child molestor.

Icey Washington more like decade's

Angel

Accept Tupac they both were real rappers

Glad you have taste 💯

Before The Best Of BothWorlds.Jayz dickriders.No disrespect to Jay but Nas never had to change his stlye to make it in hiphop.Go back watch Streets is Watching vids.He would of never made it rapping likeDasEfx.Nas already had flow

dude it's 2021 now and I am stuck on how he described a street dream in that verse

Lol

he has been the goat since illmatic

@@neverhungryagain2187 ?

Speak on it God.

Word...

Very true!

Man, I miss those days...

Khalil Thomas always miss those days as i came of age on the street and mc's used to teach about life in rap back then.

Absolutely

victor okwaro don't forget 'surviving the times' classic Nas song

right on man

victor okwaro....No doubt! Nas was so smooth with that verse storytelling. I can actually imagine myself in the car riding with him & R. Kelly lol, As he tells us his story. Mean Verse!

I just said the same thing. That last verse was sex on beat. Lyricism and perfect riding the beat. Son nas is a genius.

'95-'97 nas was untouchable when he transitioned to his "escobar" moniker

The third verse is the best

He really made me picture what he was talking about! Turns out it was just a nightmare. Nas paints a picture with his words man, truly the best there is

+Darius Shivers EXACTLY...THIS IS SOME DEEP LYRICS TO LIVE BY..GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS IS NOT APPRECIATED NO MORE..ITS SAD

There is some left still you just have to search. I'll suggest some Kendrick, Joey Badass just to start they're my favorite modem day artist.

Jose Peraza I mean Kendrick is okay but he doesn't really rise to the peek for me. But I'll check out the other dude

Darius Shivers There is also Bishop Nehru, he's worked with MF Doom, Earl Sweatshirt, Flatbush Zombies, The Underachievers, J. Cole, Capital Steez and Ab-Soul. I would recommend if you're looking for real hip hop again

SlitDrum “Whatever happened it was written meaning God meant it.”

They actually did in the R album

@@nbadecali1927 and on the NAS I'M AM ALBUM

Really the best of both worlds Kells picked the wrong rapper

With all the crack merchants, snakes and serpents..

+the_ruler shit so damn smooth it ain't even funny , nasir Jones goat

That Line is too Deep for them surface thinkers.

i heard that and screamed

GTD9002 But Nas 3rd verse summarized his assent into the game... I tried to learn the game, only thing I found incredible: everything I learned I ALREADY KNEW, so its embedded in my heart now. So I can sit back and count a stack now. I loved his verse on Verbal Intercourse and his 3rd verse on this remix is right up there with Verbal Intercourse.

Deborah Lamberti If we had biggie and tupac hip hop would not be were it is today. Imagine Jay z biggie album together and Nas and tupac together

Christopher Aparicio You are quite right even if there were they would be sure everything better.. A king will always remain a KING!

***** I'm sorry, but I disagree with you, Nas and Tupac had two completely different styles and metrics. One can not speak of plagiarism This is one of the best songs of Nas! ;)

***** It was clear that to beef 2pac was a level above, but even Nas was less for me. In dissing there is no comparison!

***** This is one of my favorite songs ever! Smashes and has a formidable sound (: Always I prefer this old school in many songs today .. empty around.

Real af

The Chi love Kelz. He could go anywhere and shoot a video

Jaestarr 33 ... truuuuth

I agree.

not top 5 he is the greatest ever

Lyrically. That's a FACT

Kayla Smith yup

I think it’s Pac & Nas

Pac

BIG

Same here 💯

ill

G.O.AT. in mines and many peoples as well bro

🤯

definitely up there if not already there , Nas was not only a rapper but poetic af. Living Legend Nas

nas murdered this beat lol yes.

Flava in ya ear remix with Biggie is high up there too.

No the remix to Ignition is the best

2pac is the goat, Nas is good though 😏

+K El agreed

Nas > Rakim. Nas is way more lyrical than Rakim

+Lyrical MC Yup, but Rakim got THE flow !

+K El.....Werd up!

+Blue Note Flow? Nas Flows smoother

It's a damn shame

One of his greatest verses ever. Told a story mid verse to come find out it was just nightmares, STUNNING

All due respect to Kell's, he was locked in too!! They had some good chemistry

Check out the Isley Brothers 1983 song "Choosey Lover". That's where this melody comes from.

@@AmaanStorm No Doubt of course, just used the instrumental and laid down a drum track
