A lo largo de su carrera Miles Davis introdujo continuamente variaciones en la forma y el sonido del jazz. El rapper Nas ha trasladado este mismo nivel de innovación artística, transformación y liberación al mundo del hip hop. Alabado por la crítica por la complejidad de sus versos poéticos, por mostrar la dinámica de la calle y penalidades del ghetto, Nasir Jones a sus 25 años restauró la importancia del lirismo en el mundo del hip hop con su ya clásico álbum debut "Illmatic" en 1994. Dos años más tarde su "personaje" de Nasir Escobar inauguró la corriente "Mafioso" en la cultura del hip hop, con "It was written". Ahora, con 12 cortes que mezclan diversos estilos dentro de la nación global del hip hop, con su característica poesía profética, Nas presenta "I am..." otro hito creativo en la historia del hip hop y en el artista mismo. Nas recibe la clase de respeto que identifica a los verdaderos artífices de la palabra en el rap, para ellos todo se reduce a sus letra...
El rock es un género musical que se originó en Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XX y se popularizó en todo el mundo en las décadas siguientes. El rock es una fusión de varios géneros musicales, como el blues, el country y el folk, entre otros.
El sonido del rock se caracteriza por el uso de guitarras eléctricas, baterías y bajo, aunque también se utilizan otros instrumentos como teclados y sintetizadores. Las letras de las canciones suelen hablar sobre temas como el amor, la política, la sociedad, la rebeldía y la juventud.
A lo largo de los años, el rock ha evolucionado en muchos subgéneros diferentes, como el rock and roll, el rock progresivo, el punk, el heavy metal, el grunge, el indie rock y muchos más. Algunas de las bandas más influyentes en la historia del rock incluyen a The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Nirvana y Radiohead, entre otras.
A lot of times it seems like, you ain't gon' make it where you wanna be in life
But, yo if you got a plan, believe me you gon' get there
You gon' get everything you ever wanted baby
That's my word
Trust, my niggas come home from long bids
They check for me before they see their own kids
I open up accounts for 'em, we bounce tour in
major cities, arenas, headline with big time singers
Cop Ferraris with navigational screens
guide us through your hood and any locality, head back to Queens
Piped out seats, Oakwood mb cord speakers
Bumpin' out old shit
That made me think of Old Easters '86 in a le tigre short sleeves
Lees, flip the cuffs up, gettin' fucked up
from Old E, Fresh Fest, niggas got hurt
100 niggas rush the door with Queensbridge tournament shirts
Back then, nobody wore a vest
Pull out razors, you had to put your hand skills to the test
Get your Pumas took, come home barefoot willin'
Look at the chain I snatched with a medallion worth a thousand
Cops rushed the garden made it home smilin'
Half of the crew probably on the island
Project call play puff ball the hoop was made out of a hanger
Playin' corners stick the elevator never thought
Project life was promised nothin' but to die trife
for steppin' on the next man's nikes my motto look for tomorrow
Today is yesterday look at the hood now, I'm mad that it turned out that way
Gats spray these shorties is killers
The older G's taught us well, what's wild now is that they're smaller
And they look at me like I'm on the outside lookin' in
Like 'who's you' when I cruise through
I call shorty took him in watch your friends, get ends
be clever, realize that today's the first day that begins forever
Everything will eventually come to an end
So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it
The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
Cuz nothin' lasts forever
Everything will eventually come to an end
So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it
The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
Cuz nothin' lasts forever
Nice cars, livin' like a star club hoppin'
Poppin' bottles at the bar love shoppin'
Gucci iceberg, coppin' two, three nice furs
One for your wife, one for your freak silver spurs
Rolls Royce too good to be true, houses worth 2.2
Pool parties beautiful view
You made it in life, Forbes Magazine style baggy jeans style
Pass the green while hoes wit' meanwhile
Asses, pretty mommies illest bodies pass glasses
Louis Roderra with Peach Schnapps you just relaxin'
Thinkin' damn wish my niggas could afford this
On the sand at your Malibu house holdin' a cordless
Talkin' to lawyers accountants investments
Money doubles, triples protected hard work you manifested
Worries of failure, when you buried will your familia
Keep your name prosperin' to the maximum
You should live, there's only one life that's the physical
Rich or poor in jail why the fuck should you be miserable
Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin'
Love could have your heart beat skippin', thugs turn to religion
The bitch you love could start to hate you, the shit you use to do escape you
Things that make you laugh represent the past
Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor
Niggas use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more
Your favorite restaurants and favorite stores, they tore 'em down
Turn 'em into shopping malls the hood is like a ghost town
Haunted by souls who thought that time stood still
Just live your life to the fullest, never look back, it's real
Everything must eventually come to an end
So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it
The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
Cuz nothin' lasts forever, ya know
I said everything eventually comes to an end
So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it
The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
Cuz nothin' lasts forever
Ya know, ya now, nothin' lasts forever ya know let it go, let it go
