![Nas - This Is The N [Hip Hop Is Dead Era Documentary] (2007)](/img/n.gif)
I don't think people give Nas the respect he deserves. One of the greatest of all time, up there
They give him more respect and love when he gone forever! Unfortunately is like that! R.I.P Pac! Respect Nas ! I love you both!!!
Cuz lame Z is a d ridding you know what he loves the attention just like what he said on ether
@@Jackonda21 Nas is always our no1
Stop it !
Please
Nas is highly respected by all artists.
Legend is name they refer to him .
You childish gam bino
Not one of The Greatest PERIOD
Nas seems like the only "mature" rapper left...ever
Richard Martinez 💯
Really 🤣😂🤣 I would say more stupid since he sing Jay's z records
Nah not really tbh. If this a joke it's ok. But like at this generation many have matured. Jay (he's really grown), Ice, etc. But yea Nas is one of them too.
J Cole
@J J 👊🏼, not only great on the mic
hiphop ain't dead..
it's buried alive... underground.
Marak Lia "Yo Fam oy my boy I am going to bring it back alive no bullshiot nor or jive though because I thrive to be one the best under the sun rapping-n-snapping as if I'm popping at cats like a gun lyrically too you see I do it for real or for fun either way it go for the most part I'mma rip they ix azz apart from the start no lie cause I'm just that smooth suave and fly guy yup straight up all y'all on the mic or on paper yo no fakin' makin' weak links catch a scratch patch and hike plus also sink evaporate and catch the vapors like I'm runnin' a caper"
Aaaaae that's true
Fuck!! this is Great
Hip hop started in the hood,the sreets,the boogie down bronx. The game is just the industry. The industry is not hip hop,is just $$$ buisness.
Like NaS said; it's "purists who really love it"... hiphop artform still exists, it's just rare, and for the most part not being marketed. The business as it exists today could (and does) have fakes and phonies, who see the public in a condescending eye, and consider the game a joke...
If hip hop was dead back then imagine wat hip hop is like now in 2020 😂😂😂
Mummified
Much better. Got Durk, Young Thug, Youngboy, Kodak....much better music than the 90’s and 00’s.
Dust
@@BlackFaithProduction you are crazy...... if you think they are better than rappers back them
its in hell XD
After Illmatic and Ether this guy can say whatever he wants.... NAS IS THE KING
o please dude only had 4 good albums . he gets respect for that but aint as great as people say . em rocks the king right know and thats a fact . then sorry to say jay z .even though his last 3 albums were trash. and then there jadakiss,lloyd banks or fab {who ever you want to king as punchline king. and then you got big pun .
Eminem is good. Nas is better and that's just my opinion that i can back up with facts
pat m ok back up that opinion so i can poke holes all through it. all nas fans say the same shit but go head
Ok, Eminem is good at rapping fast. But Nas's rhymes kick the shit out of his. Nas's rap in general is much more real than Eminem's. All Eminem raps about is his daughter, "slim shady", or makes those motivational before game pep talk songs. I could give example but the list is extensive. Nas raps about real shit. Em does occasionally but not enough.Poke some holes.
pat m
he gots 8 and 6 of them are classic. you got slim shady LP,marshall mather LP,the em show,encore(my fav),recovery(which a complete surprise after what he did to relaps) and then mashal mather 2 which is blasting in everyone hear right know. and then he had em infinite (which was better then most of nas trash albums) and then you got relapse the worst i ever seen em do. KNOW you said em doesnt talk about real shit em speaks on thinks he can relate to like party and hating life at the same time a double standard that he puts in a form that we can relate to and the mind of women, and speaks on how fake people can be in life for self gain he does rap about real shit but it what he can relate to. nas speaks about his culture but most of the time his metaphors are weak and is one of the weakest rappers with punch lines
Does this guy ever age?
whitehaireddevil1 The guy must use clean and clear like everyday
whitehaireddevil1 Blacks don't crack
lmao ikr
he's been 25 for years now
callum docherty lmao
there's just a certain aura about him. Like when you think about what the genre is really about...the storytelling, the lyrics, the narrative of the black American man, the wordplay, everything, nas just really encapsulates that all in one individual rapper.
Nas is miles ahead of 50 cent lyrically record sales dont mean shiit !
kinda like the budden and drake feud lol..budden lyrical drake got the record sales
lmfaoo ya made my morning
Right
50 rap about his life all the way, Nas is one of the greatest rappers but he rap about things that were/ happening around him. 50 is one of the greatest rappers too, if you're a real hiphop fan listen to words and relate it to the one who sing it. Selling records is one of the properties of being a good artist but unfortunately it happens that when you do good people will hate.
Every rapper has their own life to talk about, Nas is Nas, 50 is 50 they are both good rappers on different ways.
"Oh you went platinum, yeah that's nice
... Now let me see you do the same thing twice" - Nas
"CLASSIC" 😂
50 went platinum more than twice so.
@@delealiu9971 one album was double platinum let alone the other 3 lol
Educated brother,well spoken
He's a a god that talks common sense, keep that "well spoken" self racist shit out.
Keith Bridges racist? wtf wrong with you
@@keithbridges2144 Lmao
Lol I love how Nas can come out and talk about how dope he is, yet remain so humble at the same tiem
Wow these young kids really disrespecting Nas! Like really NAS 🤔 Don't y'all kids know that if it wasn't for legends like Nas there would be no 50 fucking cent 💯 Nas put it down for these whack ass rappers. Shit 50 cent was listening to nas's music when he was a youngin.
Shenyae Turner WTF you talking about.... 50 is 2 years younger than him.
Shenyae Turner LMAO 50 would still be around. eminem still would have found out about 50.
AbduL F jay z is top 5 though. so is nas and so is eminem.
AbduL F if it wasn't for cube there would be no biggie pac or nas.
Shenyae Turner. 50cent and nas go way back tho when 50 was underground
Industry took over artistry. That killed it.
nas always laid back look like he just finish smokinggggg
Nas is so right hip hop is dead
Right
Legarian Steele You trippin g ya feel me ya see long as a guy like me around you'll always hear clear logical rap sounds a lot of these new cats are clowns spinnin words together like vowels like Vanna white on wheel of Fortune the shiot they spit not right it's out of porpotion that mean they can't motion and move to the ocean cause they not tight as I cruise and groove on bafoons cause they animated not real Copperfield like a cartoon
I was 10 when nas peaked and he's still younger looking than me now a days,
Yo you look hot
I love Nas...No Homo. My favorite rapper of all time.
I like 50 Cent, but he can't be at Nas's level even with 8 million records sold, 50 is a shooting star Nas is the Sun of Hip-Hop. 2pac and Nas are the kings of rap, Camron is a court Jester.
lmao. I thought abt it for a min. Its true though
Hip-Hop & It Don't Stop facts on the first 2 and cam is a joke not in their weight class
Laylano Medina What's that got to do with the music?
Electric Cream Man nothing.
50 sold 13million get rich or die tryin albums. the fuck u talking about? nas is lyricially better but 50 can make a better track than nas. music isnt all about lyrics. its the flow and hook and charisma and many more. fs
Who else notice Nas don't age at all..... this dude never ages....2019 still same like his music
I love how Nas is so chill but has no problem controlling the narrative or an interview. That inhale, that switch in direction felt intense even though he didn't do or say a lot. It let's me know Nas can go there. Even the eye contact. Nas ain't chill because he HAS to be that's clear.
He has huge charisma ,presence and confidence
One of the greatest rapper ever check the flow.
2018 hip hop is dead shit when Nas came out with this it was looking good compared to now
Hip hop needs to start coming from the heart and start talking the truth
you haven't listened much have you
@@TheMagicalSwordTMS it's all about clout nowadays lol
Clean&Clear is just the right commercial for this
I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and they know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep "(John 10.14,15).
Reason why 50 is the 🐐
- 50 is the best hippop artist of all time,:
-has the best hit records,
-the most hit records,
-the best hooks (no rapper is better than 50 in this genre),
-the greatest impact in hippop industry ever.
-The biggest hippop album ever, (biggest I mean biggest, GRorDT)
-the best mixtapes classic ever( guest who is back, mixtapes legend and many more),
-the best underground album the power of the dollar
-the best crew and group of rapper since NWA ( g unit which includes; banks, buck, game, Tony ),
-best diss track ( because his diss track destroy ja rule, likewise either, hit em up, and takeover didn't)
-best diversity ( clothing, books, films etc),
-best soundtrack since 8mile,
and finally
-best story of hippop( drugs, no parents, shot 9 times and the rest is history)
Haters should place him at least on their top 10 hippop artist, as their argument is that he isn't lyrically great.
But hippop fan's have to fine out the truth by themselves, listen to all the details mention above and fine out ho the king of gangster hippop is
Dude you are a 50 cent fan boy i get it but dont say this bullshit🙏
Every single statement is so delusional and OVER exaggerated that i wont even try to explain
Open your mind and be mature and be a fan of HIP HOP than be a fan of a artist and just stop thinking that anything that has more views or selling is better
I love 50 but he is not the goat get the fuck outta here
i really like 50 cent music but you're saying so many wrong things here man
@vaibhavk8818 25-cent stans are like Lil gaaayne stans always thinking they the best rappers on their favorite rappers youtube page is get rich or die trying studied or massacre at universities I do t think so try again 25-cent us a gimmicky rappers only won 1 or 2 beefs the rest he lost but The industry won't say nothing because they want him to win Wu tang members dissed he didn't say nothing back Scarface and zero and everybody destined he didn't say nothing back lol Shall I go on so many rapper's distant he didn't say nothing back you only heard the mainstream ones
I feel you on so many levels, but there is one who is revitalizing my faith in the game. Check out the Detroit rapper Elzhi if you've never heard of him, he's got some real skills.
Dont BODY ya self......NUFF SAID.....
MrHakla1 one of the best

wtf why don't Eminem and nas collab that would resurrect hip-hop in a instant.

No idea what was going on in NYC
But on the 1st song on hhid he disses jim jones 50 ND jezzy

Translation - 90% of the younger generation are stupid as fuck.
He doesnt have locks lol
I'm 14 and even nas sounds better than lil Wayne, future, etc.
theres hope
What do you mean EVEN nas.
+Oldsul Indigo THANK YOU, people shit on wayne to much, he was on point 00'-08
I wish you would've stood strong, Nasir. Once you started to catch some heat, you backtracked and basically said that the statement was blown outta proportion, etcetera. It's no secret that the genre done died. The so-called "quality" hip-hop that's out has no soul or flavor. Doesn't have anything to do w/ it being from the 80's, 90's, etcetera. There was a *feeling* in the music. You, for example, Nasir, made a soul album entitled, _Illmatic._ It's more than hip-hop, it's soul. When the powers that be decided to take the soul away, that's when things started to screw up. You're right, a lot goes into this. Mostly a corporate decision. Hip-hop took a big hit when they phased out political-flavored hip-hop. As far as Nasir "spazzing out," he cut that out with the quickness. He quickly learned that all that "keepin' it real/tellin' it like it is" stuff ain't gon get you nowhere. Yo' ass gon end up a broke has-been. A lot of O.G. artists wish they would've just kept they mouths shut and played the game. Joe Budden, Fat Joe and Maino (to name a few) learned the hard way. Anyway, watching this interview kinda made me miss the old Nasir. I just love a confident East Coast brotha.
Well said..
Rap is dead hip hop is not
Raps not dead but it’s definitely on life support
its amazing how pac was the only one nas never dissed back just shows how much respect he had for pac
Lol this aged great, but it spoiled over this year.
He never dissed Big. Your reign on the top was short like leprechaun
He dissed Pac in The Message at the very beginning of it. STFU. And fuck 2 PAC. Big up Orland Anderson. R.I.P to the killer of the real fake rap thug.
@@grandmasterciphersupreme7751 he said that was for big
I thought 2pac disses about Nas came out after he died?? 🤔
Nas helped 50 structure his songs back in the day when fif was starting.
Ennoble One Not exactly. Nas brought 50 Cent on his first tour which was around 1999 but Jam Master Jay was the person that helped 50 Cent structure his songs hence why 50 Cent’s first record deal was with JMJ Records.
@@kennedybeneth4284 it was master p who brought 50 to tour with nas
@@kennedybeneth4284 True!
He just son'd everyone trying to diss him LOL
Lmfao at the concept that nas isn't a real gangsta...last time I checked fifty couldn't even go back to the hood
"I had a dream I was a gangster sippin moet hold'n tecs" - NAS
Jaden Jahci man wtf is a gangsta in yo eyes
You need to check again
NASHEED JONES

a gangster is someone that does what he want's the way that he wants in life, without giving up the integrity, and enthusiasm for living.
Hip hop is a dystopia right now
50 got spanked!! And I hear no more crying from him on the mic...Nas....the silencer.....
got spanked by jada too
That Nas shit was weak to say the least.
@@thembinkosimgidi8465 it was weak to you because you don't understand what he's talking about . Only 50 understands the diss , it's not for the listeners. It's for that person . That's how Nas works
@@frankmalley2623 if that's the case why didn't he just give him a phone call(listeners includes you right?")
puff and biggie killed hip hop. i love how nas takes responsibility too.
this is 2019 and i agree with nas.. all we have left now is (Kendrick. Cole. Joyner. Logic. Hopsin..) and the OG Eminem is holding his part of the game
HASSAN AHCHMI hell yah bro. Flatbush Zombies and Joey badass doing their thing too
Hip Hop isn't dead at all and never will be. The problem is everybody trying to sound like each other. A lot of rappers these days don't take enough time to write their lyrics correctly. In order to be a successful rapper you have reach and touch all walks of life.
No it’s trash don’t lie to yourself
@keyboardwarrior5612 You see 👀 that's where you wrong at but I actually really fully understand why you say that. It's because 85% of the music and rappers who came after 2008 wasn't that great nor or straight. The media started putting all them non talented lyric rappers out there who do nothing but hide behind the beat and hook throughout the whole entire song.They don't know how to put them words and verses/bars together correctly. They rhyme words that don't even go together for example they'll say "I'll Ice the po lice" not the actual word police inorder to make sure they rhyming. It sounds wack azz heck trust me I know. Now that doesn't mean all of it is trash you just not digging deep enough to find the ones who not or the songs that satisfy your ears. And I know it sucks that the media force and shove it down our throats too. It's not fair because they're forcing us to actually hear it or listen to it. Plus it's all on TV and every social media music platform. So you're totally incorrect in your statement because you not searching and looking for the 15% with the real talent 💯
@@doublec4431 maybe 1% and I’m not interested in listening to 99% garbage to find it. Rap music/ culture is the worst thing to happen to this generation, dumbing down the youth thinking killing their own kind is cool and disrespecting women and leaving fatherless single women is in style while burning down our communities over a over dosing crack head . Yeah I’m good
I love Nas yo. One of my favorite rappers.
Hip hop definitely dead in 2019
Rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live
--KRS One
yup, by definition no one gets tired of classics lol
lol its so obvious he stopped smoking that ganja so much. Watch Nas interviews from the 90s. He used to be blunted in interviews he couldnt get his thoughts straight. Haha!
its sad that dissing has created this big hole in hip hop, which makes artist not adventure their talent with another artist of the same level
Hip hop was built on competition. They're weren't many colabs in the early days of hip hop. Rakim and Big Daddy Kane weren't exactly cool with each. If anything its dickriding that killed hip hop. You can't even say someone sucks without being labeled an old hater
Sway always been one of the best interviewers
Top 3 (spots) greatest of all time. Easily.
For me, it's:
1) Rakim
2) Tupac
3) Nas/Immortal Technique
Easily.
nas is so humbe and cocky at the same time 😂
50 was lame for dissing Nas. Nas and The Bravehearts was taking 50 on tour back when no one was messing with him.
oh how I wish Nas would go ahead and give some of these dudes some lyrical spankin' for real these days!
NaS my favorite emcee ever, but it's not dead.
this video is 10 years old
S Brooks I know that. It wasn't dead then, and it's not dead now. Just has down years, at times. People think it died after '97, and it didn't. Lol
jmaal2345 2006 was a million times worse than 97 man lol. You can play those shiny suit bad boy tracks at a party today and they still work well. Those snap tracks are embarrassing in any era
S Brooks I'm just telling you what people were thinking, lol. But I agree with you. 06 wasn't good, but '08 was worse. 😂
Rap is dead, but hip hop is dead.....or slowly dying out.
"To get in the ring with me you have to be in my weight class" Clowns, Lmfao.
sometimes Battles turn into beef when some take it too far it happens, when crews brake up over bad things beef starts so it really goes with out saying.. you know how many people Ice Cube had beef with and he's still deep in the game.
NAS "every type of music gets stagnat once in a while and has to be reenergized " like the last 5 years then em drops kamikaze!! Thank you
0:29 skip the ad
Nas has kept his youthful good looks because he is a wonder of words!! He doesn't struggle with his views, he freely expresses himself. He is a voice that does not yell, his confidence speaks volumes!!! Need I say more?
they're cool now, 50 and nas performed in a concert in summer jam 2014
50 can't beat Nas at rapping...but he can still drop his ass
cali yeezy Nas's brother slapped 50 and he ain't do nothing
the diffrence between them is this: nas is better rapper and great great at lyrics. he has natural wisdom. BUT he is not a real gangsta come on.. on the other hand, 50 is a real street gangsta from the street who made money from drugs.... its so obvious..
REAL gangsters dont rap they are behind bars or dead not everyone who comes from the projects or sells crack is an gangster
Huseyin FIFA no bro, the real gangsters are those who write the laws. those who you vote for, those are the real Gs
dizefx spot on

Word up my man, 50 Snitch is a fucking celeb, Nas is a fucking MC, and that's what matters in my book! NaS all te way!
bilokoji1 50 cent run half of southside Jamaica queens back in the days... there is a lot of vouchers for his lifestory even people who hate him this day still saying the same.. unlike other rappers.. he was fucking boss. he had a benzSE400 befor he became rapper come on..
Justin beiber hip hop is dead. Bcause of him... internet killed it all man.. nothing is street anymore.. its sad.. whats the point of arguing although its natural to.. w.e just enjoy the music people.
***** biber was born in 94 and its common knowledge that was one of the greatest years of hip hop ever on ALL coasts! so you saying hip hop died before 94? lol please do explain sir
pat ski That's a lie a lie as keep it on beat like I'm makin' ya splack out like I got heat as it make ya tingle and jingle all the way down to ya feet as if it's to yo back ya see g stingin you up like a bee sting poppin ya kite like a string slingin words back and forth like a toy oy or yo-yo bro so easily though you know how it as I show ya I can rip flip and flow

Yeah ofc ofc
Pac is wack
Eminem
Nas and jay made a excuse not to respond properly to 50, but they was quick to respond to cam. Shook.
+Husabceuoa Cieabcueoa ..He crushed 50 with that one. 50 never responded back.
+Alexander Legend probably because he got shellshock after listening to it
J2013 because 50 is not lyrically on there level .think about it how can you put a pin a paper to diss 50 .he told on murder inc so he will call the police on you lol
Both Nas and Jay Z were past the whole dissing thing, or on the way of past doing it from battling each other as well as other artist around them. 50 Cent was attacking everyone ever since he got into the game. Do you think either one would wanna waste more time getting into another beef? Come on, shush with your fandom beef instigating bs.
Nas and jay seen the future rise of 50. So they responded respectfully.. nas spanked him.. cam on the other hand is cam.. trash.. you can say what you want to that pink wearing moron and he wouldn't even understand whats being said
Reakwon should do a Album with Nas. Call it From Queens to Shaolin. Peace
I was very surprised to hear singer Sade say she loves rap. She loves Drake, Jay Z and the rest. But she says nothing about the negativity with rap. She actually said she loves the lyrics. Considering her style of music she doesn't seem like the type.
50 and nas performed at summer jam 2014 together...
they are cool now
cam and 50 cent not in his weight class.
50 is way better plz... NAS is a poet but 50 is a real talent
You're joking right
Hip hop must die cause you have used all the words😅
The problem with 50 is simple. ....in the late 90s, 50 was hanging around with Nas and Bravehearts, and 50 wanted to accelerate the process of being a very well known Rapper, complaining all the time about Nas not being able to do great things for him and for Bravehearts, Problem was. ....Nas and Bravehearts didn't give a fuck about FAME, they were just doing their thing and that's all about, 50 then went another direction, looking for FAME, and finally got his chance with eminem, I don't see why 50 had to hate on Nas or Bravehearts for this situation, 50 act like an asshole sometimes
+froes bruce Nas was the rapper that took Curtis under his wing after his "how to rob" record. He took him on tour, and shit. 50 was on Nastradamous your with just 1 single!!
How tf this guy gone be humble and condescending at the same damn time?
handing out spankings to lil dudes lol
Oh. Great first question from sway and equally solid answer from Nasty Nas!
Hip Hop, true R&B, and rock music is all dead
Heavy metal die along time ago everything come to an end
u guys r forgetting about snoop dogg hes 1 of the best too.
nah pac biggie and nas are on a different level to everyone else
+Porky349 can't forget Big L
Porky349 opinion
I think I'm going to re-listen to it. Only heard a few songs, and thought the production was 'too clean' for Nas' grimy type of style I think if you know what I mean. But I'm seeing now that his wordplay is second to none..Imma give 'em another shot
I don't come from the hip hop era or background...but this is one of my all time favorite tracks by anyone. UA-cam has let me in on this culture and I find it interesting. I listen to interviews...Jah, 50, Lil Flip..all of them. KRAS1 is really fascinating to hear express himself. I know a lot of this stuff is old but to me it is just finding out how people feel...and to get to understand what drives this art form. Em gets on my nerves, though. Of them all..Nas is just hypnotic.
The Papoose song is called sun don't shine forever ft. ray j and stacy adams
The reason it's not returning to mainstream is much more complicated than that.
see we know that its change it change for the bad. and we are on the same page i think its somewhat dead there are still real people out there that rap about real things but what people did in the past will never go away real music will never die. i can listing to 2pac till the day i die and never get sick of his music :)
if you're approved by Nas like Lupe Fiasco then you know you're good...
That was my point. The guy I replied to said that 50 Cent was better than Nas because he sold more albums. I replied that just because Lil Wayne has sold more albums than Pun and Big L combined doesn't make him better than them.
What people don't understand is hip hop was once in the mainstream of music. All the real Emcees were on the TV like normal but now we have to dig deeper for good hip hop. Its still functioning but not at the level it once was. Thats what nas means. All you hear on the radio is posers talking about how high and fly they are. Us hip hop addicts need cut that shit and bring real music back thats all. I love music but hip hop fuses so much more. Its poetry. We need it.
50 had a problem with nas cuz that j lo record 50 said that he took his record without telling him
Nas was lip syncing over 50cent lyrics.
Columbia did that.
Nas is a fucking snake that act Holly than thou
That's what thinking someone is better than they actually are is, it means giving them more credit than they deserve.
Eazy-E, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Scarface, Ice Cube, and KRS-One, and all had simpler lyrics than 2pac, but they are still considered great by most people. Lyricism isn't the only thing that makes a rapper great.
EMinem did, still doing that too, but because of puc there was a little war going on, now still,
i respect pac he is one of the best ever will always be
Lmboo I now realise Nas sounds like the mad rapper from biggie kick in the door
Sway - "are you gonna body a crew on this album?" Nas - "nah nah" Nas took the question seriously because he knows he could do it, if he wanted to.
Very very true. Fame in no way shape or form equals skill. The better artist is always remembered while the best selling artist is forgotten. Many painters and people like Nicola Tesla weren't recognized till after their death.
And 4 the record 50 had 3 great albums get rich, massacre and the gunit album
hiphop is still alive. its just that nobody cares about it like they used too.
