Nas It Ain’t Hard To TellWatch at the source

Released in January 1994, "It Ain't Hard to Tell" was the second single from Nas' groundbreaking debut album “Illmatic”. Produced by Large Professor, the track samples Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and blends smooth jazz with East Coast boom bap. The music video, directed by Ralph McDaniels, pays homage to “Wild Style”, the first Hip Hop motion picture, and features Nas rapping on the same stage used for the film’s iconic final scene.
