‘Nas is Like’ Nas (1999)

“Nas Is Like” is the lead single by Nas from his 1999 album I Am…, released through Columbia Records and marking his return after a four-year gap with a harder-edged sound. Produced by Trackmasters (Poke & Tone), the track flips a tense, piano‑driven beat built around a sample from the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” into a showcase for Nas’ rapid‑fire lyricism, where he stacks metaphors, boasts, and street wisdom in a stream‑of‑consciousness style. The song peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart, earned gold certification, and became a defining late‑90s East Coast hip‑hop record for its technical bars and raw energy. 

Its music video, directed by Paul Hunter, features Nas in surreal dream sequences battling clones of himself amid New York City backdrops, visually echoing the track’s themes of self‑reflection, dominance, and lyrical supremacy.
