“Nas Is Like” by Nas was released as a single on this day in 1999.

@SVG__Collection “Freedom or jail? clips inserted a baby is being born same time my mans murdered - the beginning and the end”

@SVG__Collection A masterpiece of songs & one of the best beats to freestyle to.

DJ Premier saved Nas's comeback with a legendary beat 🎤🔥 But the origin is bizarre: the main sample came from a 1966 Christmas carol record that Premier bought for pennies. Hip-hop's grittiest track was born from holiday music! 🎄🎹 🤔 Fun Fact: It took record diggers 10 years to finally track down the source of the sound. Did you know? 🤯 #HipHopCulture

@SVG__Collection "Nas is like Iron Mike Messiah Type"

@SVG__Collection This is what i expected on Light years. Still a good album though

@SVG__Collection This was the last video on Rap City for 6 months straight 🔥

@SVG__Collection This is why I wish they did LY back in the late 90s or early 2000s. Mightve been a classic on arrival. That's the 2nd producer he got with too late in their career.

@SVG__Collection Goated beat.

@SVG__Collection youtu.be/i6aIYv7ONJk Check This Out Definitely Mind Blowing 🤯… NAS Is The GOAT! 🐐

@SVG__Collection one of the greatest opening verses in hip-hop history 👌 🙌

@SVG__Collection Hip Hop perfection

@SVG__Collection Not only is this a quality DJ Premier production but there is an abundance of messages about life & ill lines from Nas with the lyricism 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥

@SVG__Collection GOAT

@SVG__Collection half man half amazing

@SVG__Collection That’s Rap Poetry…that has its own lane 💯🔥🔥🔥☝🏾

@SVG__Collection This is what i hoping most of Light Years would sound like.

@SVG__Collection Amazing song but u doing it dirty without the explicit version

@SVG__Collection Absolute musical and visual perfection. No gimmicks. Just a GOAT producer delivering a GOAT beat to a GOAT MC to deliver GOAT rhymes.

@SVG__Collection The song that made me realize Premo was the goat

@SVG__Collection Corona is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City. It borders Flushing and Flushing Meadows–Corona Park to the east, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst to the west, Forest Hills and Rego Park to the south, and East Elmhurst to the north.

@SVG__Collection The goat

@SVG__Collection The intro… GTA2 being played in the foreground also 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@SVG__Collection They waited tooooo long for their project. Imagine “Light years” in 1999? Easily 5 mics on the Source

@SVG__Collection Nas 🐐

@SVG__Collection ⚡️💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥When you love and study the craft of MCing

@SVG__Collection The art of rapping is very slowly coming back, but most of the art has been taken out with AutoTunes.

@SVG__Collection Classic!! 💯💯💥💥

@SVG__Collection This the best rap song ever.

@SVG__Collection this shit fire🔥🔥

@SVG__Collection DJ Premier 🔥🔥Premo

@SVG__Collection Premo laced the beat, Nas came with the heat!

@SVG__Collection It's funny lookin back at 99 I thought all these guys were falling off. Flash forward and looking back and most of 99 actual hip hop was crazy dope. Everything went downhill after chronic 2001

@SVG__Collection Effortless!

@SVG__Collection Incredible

@SVG__Collection Love this song
