Nas faced absolutely ZERO threat to his career and reputation due to J Cole’s “ let Nas Down”. You’re being crazy dramatic.
fr
this guys "content" is trash. clickbait and over sensationalized titles for views.
If Jay Z couldn’t ruin Nas- I highly doubt Cole can 🤷🏽♀️
Exactly J Cole is good but he is nowhere on a level of Nas period Nas is another level of a MC
Yall are behind & stuck in the past J Cole could rap laps around Jay & Nas both
@@EL-FROZZENno can not he ain’t out rapping nas 😂
96' Nas was literally the Thanos of rap 😅
fell off@@jonathancoleman6482
I'm just happy Nas wasn't rude about it
fr!
Yeah, like some were toward Em about Revival
@@aidanthomas2510 revival was just terrible tho and im a huge em fan saying this
@@HighOnIce as an overall project yes it was. Idk what it was but there was some real questionable production decisions made on it beat and vocal wise. I forgot till Em said on the Paul Pod too that the tracklist had leaked, so I'll bet when people saw the Beyonce and Ed Sheeran features (I think they were 2 of the better songs on Revival honestly) they probably immediately thought it was gonna be Encore 2.0.
And in hindsight, it kinda was. Only Encore was a lot better produced because it was a Dre in house album. Conceptually though, it was the same. Some songs I loved (Like Toy Soldiers, Mockingbird) and others like Big Weenie I could care less about.
With Revival, I for one LOVE Castle & Arose. I honestly think they could be 2 of the best songs he's ever done period and it's a damn shame they were not only on that album but so far into it, as I'll bet a lot of people didn't get to them because of that. There's 3 or 4 others I don't mind, but I couldn't really care for the rest.
That's why he took so much offence to it, because he put his all into songs like that. Even he admitted though that there was a few songs on it he'd like to do over in hindsight.
It is a shame, because that concept along with the features he had definitely had the potential to be something special. It just went wrong for whatever reason.
You're never going to fuck with an entire album back to front unless it's an absolute classic, that's the way I look at it. Some people though, were way more vocal about it than they needed to be.
In hindsight, I'm kinda glad it went down the way it did because had Revival not flopped, we would never have got Kamikaze. Pissed off Em is the best Em, and you can't tell me any different.
@@aidanthomas2510Stop sucking Eminem the album was garbage ok?
HE CAN'T DESTROY NAS REPUTATION,NEVER EVER.THATS IT
get off his dick lmao
Shut up
Big facts
For real!! Hov already did that 😂
Clickbait
I let nas down is a fantastic reflection of self. Such an amazing song
Self awareness is the best awareness💯
J Cole is the man, I love his whole come up story, the transformation, all of that. 2014 was my senior year so I literally got to watch him grow through the second half of that.
Same here bro! Me and my boys were rocking to his tunes all the time, he definitely was a role model to a lot of us
Same here my g
2014 forest hills drive forever a classic
How/why could Nas be let down by “Work Out” when he had made “Oochie Wally” & “I Think You Owe Me”?! Unless he felt Cole made the same mistake.
Exactly that
Thats exactly what he explained in his reply song, he gets that radio records are needed but wanted to warn him so he doesn’t go astray with his real music
@@haadyabdul1683 Gotcha, I appreciate it. This is why more insight was asked for, I got “old man yells at the sky” vibes from the video. Instead Nas showed love from a OG perspective; been there, done it, learn from me.
@@devzeppalin listen to the remix, nas has a verse
Did you heard him saying those word or on what somebody said.
Ever since I started listening to Cole, I knew instantly he wasnt just another rapper. His lyrics are so deep and he touches on stuff most are afraid to write about, especially in the rap game. "This is the part that the thugs skip!"
My fav since I was 11. 24 now🙏🏾
Nah man Nah, the Nas-Cole was the single best “passing the torch” moment in rap.
Also, comeon man Nas is a legend did y’all forget who obliterated hova ?
What hova rules 😂😂- seriously Nas is the greatest
No one is better than nas😂
That's for sure
Cole is the benchmark of the word 'Artist'
A high IQ calculated risk taker
WORD OF ADVICE YOU CANT MUDER NAS
💯
Until j Cole raps a story backwards there's nothing he can do to Nas reputation
Exactly
Tf at gotta do with anything
@@qsteady2806 He's saying Nas is levels above Cole in rapping. I love J Cole and all, but you don't exactly ruin the reputation of someone like Nas. Ask Jay Z what happened when he tried...
@@josephbooker259 jay z only became a bigger artists 😂
@@qsteady2806bigger artist ≠ better MC
He never got his teeth fixed. That's what crooked smile was somewhat about
good catch, i think they were worse back then tho?
@louaista could be from his outer appearance changing? They still the same
@@3nim3nimabl3I think it’s less noticeable bc he has a beard now instead of small goatee
This was a really dope documentary bro. Nas is my favorite emcee of all time and J Cole is keeping real Hip-Hop alive through his lyrics. Had to sub. Salute.
thank you! spent a lot of time on this one. Respect for these takes!
@@louaista 💯💯💯
✅
Nas is my favorite MC as well, followed by Lupe fiasco, Lupe never gets credit
@@screamingeagle11b 💯💯💯
The title should be changed Cause it's impossible for Cole to body Nas brother madness
Did u know Nas was suppose to be on J Cole's New York Times ? 😩😔
That wudda been 🔥🔥🔥
I remember Cole explained that in a vid yrs ago. Would’ve been hella fire😭 Bas killed it tho
"Put on J coles 'warm up and let it play" Is a bar
brooo it was!
I feel awful for sleeping on Cole as a teenager.. he's one of the realest to ever do it.
Social media be clowning juggling lies ,Nas is a lyrical God who said if he gets a Grammy, than his music is wrong ,salute to Nas
this was an amazing documentary bro, i can tell you have a deep love for this man and the desire you have translated so well into the video please keep pumping out content and keep inspiring 💪
Jay z rejected him then stole his aura
Nah, they're both two totally different personalities. Not a single individual thought in the comments these days.
Someone at the top like JayZ needs to pay attention to only those who prove themselves to get his attention. Which is what J cole did. Do you know how many people who have reach out to him and disappointed him! No wasting of energy and time
Crazy, when I was about 15 and first heard I Gave You Power in 2001, I realized just like J cole how Nas is on another level and pretty clearly the best lyricist. When the vid mentions Undying Love right after that I couldn’t help but comment literally my 2 favorite Nas songs. If I ever happen to be talking about Nas to someone I always bring up these two songs.
💯.....amazing song dawg...shootouts too....
@@jayscarz1157the shooting the locks line is fire af my favorite imagery in hip hop tbh just so cool the way he described it and they way it flows
Nas is the greatest rapper of all time. There's no debate. Nas is timeless. We all remember when we heard our first Nas song, I can't remember the first time I heard anyone else's rap song
Then you haven't listened closely enough. Nostalgia and timing is a hell of a drug.
Nas is my favourite emcee as well.
brother you put it in words perfectly. I still remember the day i first heard ether. i asked my uncle, “who is that?!” i was like 11 at the time, but it had been out for a while 😂😂😂
@T3n50r It's not nostalgia. I'm 18, grew up listening to kendrick lamar, eminem, and kanye west. I started going through all the goats catelogues (Pac, big, Nas, JayZ, Lupe Fiasco, Mf Doom etc), and I have come to the conclusion that NO ONE can touch Nas. Nas is the goat.
@@josephbooker259 Nas is one of the greats, but not the goat. His discography isn't big enough, he's been super relevant and made his mark forever for a certain time period if we should be objective about it. Compared to others unfortunately that's it. Don't get me wrong tho.
I'm big on Nas as well and always took his side in the Jay-Z vs Nas discussions. Listened through his discography more than once. Grew up listening to him, too and everyone else you mentioned along with Rakim, Wu-Tang, Rugged Man, Brotha Lynch, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc, DJ Shadow, Doom, Afrika Bambaata, Outkast, KRS one, Big Pun, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Hieroglyphics (Del da Funky Homosapien in particular) etc. etc.
There's just too many with history and discographies that can't label him as Goat. I'd even accept Kanye for that spot and I don't even particularly fuck with his music personally
Enjoyed this documentary man! Good introspective into some of Cole's history. I gotta be honest though - I'm not fucking with the misleading title g. There's no way Cole could ever destroy or 'almost' destroy Nas' reputation. Nas was already a cemented legend long before Cole dropped that song.
Click baited and bamboozled
Hey man I just wanted to say, i found your channel yesterday and it’s like I’ve struck gold! Your content is so professional and when you said you did this every week I was shook. You are incredibly talented and your videos are incredibly informative, interesting, and of the highest quality. Keep up the great work bro. Much love ❤️
Tbh idk how I didn’t catch J Cole before workout because that’s when I first heard him and it was fire
1:01 thats jids dad lmao
The story starts around 9:00
Listening to the hardships Cole had was insane. Especially considering his status now. Great video man!
Nobody ever believed Jermain Cole would let Nas down
Solid documenting of FACTS everytime. Best channel for straight up info!!
Could watch your videos all day, most listenable voice your the goat, of these videos, never stop bro 😃💨🤩
wow thanks, i've actually been working on this harder than you'd think 😂🔥
A 20 minute J cole history lesson with 40 seconds of Nas... Love clickbait...
Always loved cole but never got the chance to do a deep dive into his backstory. Went to visit his old house a month ago and it felt so weird knowing an icon lived there. Hope he does a record with Em before either of them stop music.
em now is not the same thing, this would be more of a symbol than song i think
@@tigerbozoI feel what you're saying, but I also believe em could tap into that "past self" somehow - he just needs the right subject matter maybe, the proper inspiration or whatever. Lyrically new em runs circles around his old shit, but somehow his old shit just hits so much harder. More connection to the songs I guess. Even if we just get a symbol song though I would still love to hear what I think are the 2 contenders for goat on a track together. 🔥
Childs play thinking Cole can damage anything Nas related.
Imo nas saved coles career. If it wasn’t for nas not feeling workout. We wouldn’t have the cole we have today and he would’ve probably fizzled out trynna stay mainstream.
You know what's crazy... This beautiful doccie is literally the same stuff Cole raps about in Villuminati
Man the first time i heard "Who Dat" i was like who the fuck is this?!?!🤯🤯
I bet you he let him down again...
j cole is amazing, dreamville
was an amazing idea, and his collabs with JID are just perfect
Dreamville*
@@FLOSTORMOFFICIAL thanks
Cole the goat
bro tried sneaking an mgk lyric in the title and thought we wouldnt notice
Another fire doc bro, keep it going! 🔥
Yes I love his videos!
Great videos, love the vibe and the editing
The title made me chuckle, nas reputation bulletproof, you for real?
His rep was never in threat.
This is pretty much the story of j cole
i’ve been here since you’ve had less than 100 subs, crazy to see you grow…
the homie swath! thanks for being a part of the journey!
Too deep for the intro is his best song ngl.
I thought you would mention how Cole also threw Nas under the bus during the whole kelis scandal when she said Nas hit her
This guy is a super guest. He dont really know what he's talking bout.
@@Elvis-Freshly 😂
I lost a lot of respect for Cole after that
@@rare_formthat's cole only miss though he did so much right
That was 🔥 🔥 🔥
Father and Son. I love the energy between them.
Man that joint Who Dat put me on to Cole.. I knew then he would be a problem. His ability to grind and not loose focus is what makes artists like him great. That hunger never leaves.. 🫡💯 🔥🔥Documentary !!
Used to listen to workout still do on occasion but I listen to it when it first came out that fucking was a hit everybody listen to it back then crazy to see how far j Cole has come truly inspiring
It's 2024 the song ( Workout ) by J.Cole is still my favorite song from him. Shit.. I got only 11 songs on my phone. ( workout) being #2 🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos
Great vid. However, Nas’s reputation is cemented and no one can destroy it; other than Nas himself. And even then it would have to be something really bad, like on some real life stuff not rap beefs (think R Kelly and Bill Cosby- which will NEVER happen. Nas is a good human being), his reputation is unmovable. His status is forever exalted at the highest tier.
Well said!
He will never fall from the kings disease! Goat
Well unfortunately he is abusive per Kelis. Nas was one of my favorite rappers and it really upset me to find that out. Never meet or look up your heroes
@@theycallmekeysand that’s why he has the dress on the life is good album cover. But tries to make it seem like she left him for no reason. He’s grown from that but yeah he did assault his partner at one point.
the goat dropped
legend
Nas has never been destroyed Jay Z tried n failed badly
And then cole made grippy
youre unique watched like 6 videos straight im hooked man lol
I enjoyed that. Many thanks! ❤
This Was A Great Video!!!
Such a good vid bro
Born sinner is my all time favorite album.
That was good bruh!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Wow he sold out by making a radio song” man ppl need to get a life and be happy for ppl they claim to support getting success
Some collabs from Nas & J.Cole would be fire or a short EP
what a great story!! j cole is a real one..."pac was like jesus, nas wrote the bible" story told well too, nice work Lou
Pulled up drop top backwood hot box I can’t stop playing it in my head
Would bee interesting see this kinda document of King Mathers LP
I think Royce said it best “Drop a lonzo balls corpse of on nas porch dog, that’s for the blasphemy”. But of all rappers it’s nice to see Cole finally getting the respect he deserves because he has been in his bag recently putting out just straight bangers
Wow this is incredibly well done. Fantastic work! I grew up on Jay z and Nas and they are the goats but Cole is the best right now
Wow. I didn’t know much about him. I will definitely check his music out.
Nas and J Cole squashing the beef or whatever you want to call it is super wholesome
It was because coles track who dat that i even became a fan. It is criminally underrated
That ASRX was a savage beast... I remember having to *individually* load sounds.
Ohhla was so many years ago, brought back some memories
God damn this story makes me wanna cry it’s so beautiful lmao
I think it’s worth talking about how nas responded respectfully and shared his thoughts in a helpful way which is something j. Cole has gone on to do for rappers coming up(lil pump interview for one) it’s obvious this is something that was impactful for who he is as a person and he acts accordingly
That’s deep. Real deep tbh.
We need more people in the rap culture not born after 2000 because imagine thinking Nas rep could be destroyed. J Cole still hasn’t made a certified classic like Illmatic. Sit down.
I hope one day I'll meet him Idc if it takes years to drop a album just makin sure he'll be okay
Never understood why Nas didn’t like Work Out…that song is 🔥
Decent take & perspective
I felt this interaction between them is one of the greatest hip hop moments and Cole even presented Nas with a Vibe award after
Friday Nights Lights for me personally his best work.
When Jcole sample: freedom or jail clip insert.... My brother was like Yo... That is Jcole i m talking About... I was like yeah... You were born in 20s...
I have j cole debut album on cd
Who dat may have not been a hit but it was fire & how I found J Cole
I've been listening to Cole for years and I always wondered what he was talking about in that song.
Still one of my fav songs WHO DAT that's a banger
this is fire you should make one for jid too
J cole and jid have beef?
@@minecraftoot7384Nah I think he just meant like a video going over JID and his come up.
Unless I missed something, I’d be shocked if they have beef
yoo bet! thanks for the idea!
wild cuz i discovered J.Cole from Who Dat
Wait, did you say Take Care was HYFR? I mean I prefer Headlines or The Motto, but wasn't the big single Marvins Room?!
Was definitely headlines lol
@@versaceboi4762 After looking this up, it's SURPRISINGLY The Motto. YOLO led to going 6x platinum.
HYFR - 2x plat
Marvins Room - 3x plat
Headlines - 4x plat
Jcole is the definition of hard work beats talent. I say Kendrick is just pure talent and when he works, Jcole cant compare.
Brotha you took 10 minutes to get to the point of the video as advertised. It’s egregious 😂
9:58 what a humble man
I live in Fayetteville and can confirm it sucks
J Cole is Nas's son not even in a bad way they each have their own legacies and they're legends in rap
