I remember growing up in the 90s watching all the music videos from the Hip Hop legends, just amazed what Hip Hop is. Then I remember in 2002 when I was 12, and this song came on
As a kid, I was like
Such an awesome video. Especially that 3rd verse. The science he was dropping. To show black people came from greatness, our history didn't start from slavery. We were kings, Pharaohs, Sultans, Chiefs. Since we are great, we should act like we're great
Video was also great cause at the time, I was around the same age as the kids in the video, so it was like it was directed at me. And inspiration to succeed. Before then I didn't know Hip Hop can influence the minds like that, beyond a simple head nod from a nice beat. That's when I truly fell in love with Hip Hop. Nas taught me a black man without his HISTORY is going nowhere
That's my GOAT

That's dope to hear, I was too old for this song to be all inspirational (freshman year of college) but this shyt was everywhere. I used to tutor, this was the theme song to allt he 6th and 8th grade graduations I went to. Glad to see a real story on how this impacted the kids

Nas always gives us a glimpse inside his personal life. Here's a few songs of the goat letting us peak into his life. I didn't even get to songs like bridging the gap,daughters,and surviving the times
