I'm from NY and the same age as Nas. I've been listening to him from Live at the BBQ recorded off the underground radio station when he blew my mind. Watching this video brought a tear to my eye. This mans music has been a constant in my life from 16 to 49. He's been like my brother.
There alot of fav rappers favorite rapper. I think it has to do with generation. DOOM and Kool g rap are definitely the definition of that aswell. Nas is your favorite rappers favorite rapper for the younger generation, DOOM and KGR are Nas, PUN, AZ, EM, Vinnie Paz, people of that age favorites. Which the news generation looks up to these people.
*This 3 album run (King’s Disease, King’s Disease 2, and Magic) at this stage of his career is unprecedented. It solidified him as the greatest MC of all time. Now imagine what King’s Disease 3 will do to his legacy!*
Ice Cube said to NaS on his 'The Bridge' podcast, "Back then we were doing our penmanship, then you came and put it in Cursive". Highest compliments from 1 of Hip-Hop Greats!
i got a chance to meet Nas back in the day in Toronto for rock the bells. i asked him if i can get a pic with him in which he replied ''sure homie'' took a pic with me and even signed one of my Nas cd's. Not only did he do this for me but he did it with every single person that was there. one of the coolest most humble cats i ever met.
Man that album with Damian is so good. Every track is gold. People need to hear it. Every time someone knows it, they love it. I met this dude in Indonesia at a bar and he played a track and I asked him to play more. So we just vibed on the whole damn album. Nas is the King. No gimmicks.
Nas is coming for the kill. Fourth album in 2 years, all three leading up are classics. At his age?!?! Very rare form. No other rapper has ever done this, ever. Legendary.
One of the best, lyricists ever, no wonder J. Cole looks up to him. let Nas down gave me chills when I first heard it. I especially like the response record made Nas proud.
Is no one going to mention Nas song "One Mic" ~ One of the illest, street life, action sequences ever put to record...When Nas is in his zone EVERY line lands and connects with an electrifying intensity, accuracy and emotional element with is rarely, if ever, seen in the modern era.
Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic aint no debate untouchable 🐐.and nas does freestyle too in his songs he said it on his podcast with common. Some part he freestyle and some part hes writing. The goat for real. Nobody even close.
Nas storytelling and flow is just amazing even in his recent albums king's disease 2 and magic you can see how he is improving and making amazing songs like moments ,deathrow east and wu for the children. Nas is one of the greatest storytellers of all time and one of the greatest rappers of all time.
I don't think it's necessarily underrated(at least among hip hop fans), but I agree. Better than Illmatic(though to be fair, I was born in 84, so I wasn't really aware of Illmatic, or how good it was when it came out.)
So blessed to have shaken hands with such a prolific and legendary MC. Meeting Nas solidified a profound impression on me: he is a CLASS ACT, through and through.
Nas is the GOAT 🐐. His verse on Raekwons verbal intercourse is arguably the greatest verse in hip hop history. He was a child prodigy and a genius. Respect to the king 👑.
One underrated song that just completely captures Nas greatness is Project Window on the Nastradameus album. You feel like your him looking out the window as a kid watching all hood drama. It really takes you to another zone
@@nicksharma8238 Nas already said on drink champs Lupe is the closest thing to him.... Prime Nas was great for his era and is still great and better than most rappers, but as rap has evolved, I think lyrically Lupe is more sharp with the pin.
@@screamingeagle11b Maybe Lu is better currently in terms of lyricism. But Nas' recent streak and overall discography is better. If you look at the whole career, Nas - even with some holes in his discography, is overall better than Lu.
All the producers on illmatic said nas was hands on in the sample selections. They spent hours going through records. But he let them do their thing and was willing to accept their input. Premo even convinced him to change the beat to represent and thank God he listened.
right!! he never stopped being a student of the hip hop world! that’s what makes him so great is that he still go this day studies it so much, i think he’s low key like has an obsessive type disorder and it made it become one of the greatest of all time!
But Eminem was more focused on popularity fame views IG politics that trump diss and shit .. he kinda lost focus , revival was his worst album sadly lost his prime . Not just him but Jay-Z lil Wayne , 50 all of them end of 90 start of 00s lost their prime
Eminem is a genius himself. He's in the conversation for greatest MC of all time in his own right. Imo Nas is the GOAT but it's music not sports. It's all personal preference and inherently subjective. They are all genius talents. I've heard Black Thought verses that made me think he was the GOAT. Or Lupe. Or Aesop Rock. Or Eminem. Or Pharaoh Monch. Or Rakim. Or Andre 3Ks. Etc. So many greats. Nas is also the most influential imo.
@@elbowgang9715 bro exactly!! perfect example right there fr, obsessed with their craft they eat sleep and breath what they do and it hasn’t changed ever since they was hungry for it at elementary school lol and it made them icons, rip black mamba
That Let Nas Down Remix made me drop some tears when I heard it because I was such a huge fan of them both. Them moment was just so beautiful man. I wish I could get that feeling from current music
The 1st Nas album I bought... and actually the 1st EastCoast album for me was Stillmatic, I was 13 or 14 and it was 2003. Rewind wasn't even my favorite track on the cd and it stills one of my favorite storytelling songs. Favorite Nas song is "Dance" his RIP ode to his mama.
“One Love”. When I first saw Belly my mind was blown that they could literally make a movie scene out of one of his verses. The absolute meaning of storytelling.
NaS has some of the most creative Tracks & Albums in Hip-Hop history: One Love - POV of Letter I Gave You Power - POV of Gun Last Words - POV of Jail Cell Fetus - POV of Fetus Dance - Best Hip-Hop track Dedicated to a Mother! Book of Rhymes - POV of pages in book Rewind - Spits story backwards Sekou Story/Live Now - Most people don't know Scarlet is actually NaS lol Project Roach - POV of Roach Fried Chicken - Just genius vision Daughters - Every man with a daughter can relate Concept Albums: Hip Hop Is Dead - Sounds better Today! Untitled Album - Will always remain relevant due to its content! Distant Relatives - Beautiful Africa Vibe! Life Is Good - 1st Adult Hip-Hop Album!
@M Mind Yes. Film is a wonderful track. I forgot to mention it. NaS catalog is so deep that even a wonderful track like Film can easily be dismissed. Thanks for the reminder.
Honestly this deep dive was so illuminating to create. Nas is the ultimate writer and will always go down in history as one of the greatest of all time
Nas is someone that taught me the arts of rap my mind was stimulated when I first heard him when I was younger hes my favorite rapper & to me the best how he tells stories & how he uses words I got his named tatted in admiration of him I give my flowers for him being apart of my craft along with other legends that made me who I am
One thing about Nas is he knows how to make a compelling record. Most rappers can only do freestyles and are grossly one dimensional in their subject matter. They're only good for a posse cut and would be boring to listen to over the course of an album without being laced with beats from top producers. Nas has never been carried by beats and has the lyrical versatility to make an album interesting.
With different colours of broken glass, Our bikes would catch flats a lot - NAS wow that was deeply poetical and he was just talking. Easily the best rapper of all time.
Nas is what the industry refers to as a Legacy Artist because he's one of the most influential artist in Hip Hop History and extremely well respected! 💯🎙🎤👑 Killa Queens Get The Money 💰
NaS was Born to Use Mics 🎤! He has always been about the Art, the Culture, for the most part he didn't compromised his Pen to get Radio play, but he always knew that all he had to do was keep working putting out his thoughts & creativity on tracks and let it play out in the long run. Y'all forget that his Dad is a musician that has traveled the World and so music flows through NaS veins, and to him its about the music, all the other stuff that comes with it good or bad, like fame or hate is expected, so you look the other way and just do you and continue feeding his loyal fans. I remember him saying in an interview 1990s, young NaS, that he was going to rhyme until he grow old, because that is what he loves to do and there is no reason why a Rapper can't rhyme into his 70s like Rock n Roll artist do. "A Slow Run Beats Cheating The Grind" - NaS
While we're here, this is a reminder that Nas has more gems and great albums in his discography than just Illmatic. It Was Written Stillmatic The Lost Tapes God's Son Life is Good King's Disease II Magic
I always felt like nas' writing would get him a pulitzer the same way that bob dylan was awarded one for his writing. nas is so influential I've heard on a podcast years ago that there are teachers who use his music as teaching material for writing. his music is unparalleled. love nas. he's definitely one of my top 5 favorite rappers of all time
I heard a rock guy say the best albums of all time across genres is Illmatic and The Score. That was big for hip hop. And the fact he put Illmatic up there was crazy.
Too many great tracks, verses, and quotables to pick one to post man. I can hit play on this man's catalogue and just listen from there. Nas the greatest of all time for real.
Y`all notice the similarity between Rewind and Nolans Tenet film? One is painted in words the other with camera but with the same concept of moving backward thru time
Amazing video, thank you for this. As great as Nas is, I still think he gets overlooked and sometimes even hated on by mainstream media, especially as it pertains to his music after Illmatic. To me, he’s the greatest of all time for his voice, rhyming ability, flow, versatility, storytelling and longevity. Not to mention that he is a trendsetter outside of the booth as well.
That part when he went ham while listening to that Magic beat from Hitboy🔥🔥 Definitely enjoyed this episode fam. Totally unrelated but personally, I'd love to see one on Takeoff cause I heard somewhere that he only did one takes
What is the ONE Nas song that you would have loved to have been in the studio for while they were recording?
I Gave You Power & Rewind
Ether
Memory Lane. Greatest emcee and producer (Preemo) on imo, their best track.
The Let Nas Down remix is one of the greatest collabs ever.
I'm from NY and the same age as Nas. I've been listening to him from Live at the BBQ recorded off the underground radio station when he blew my mind. Watching this video brought a tear to my eye. This mans music has been a constant in my life from 16 to 49. He's been like my brother.
Nas is the definition of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper !!!
Since 9 1 I am da truest, name a rapper that I ain’t influenced 🔥
I would say kgr is your favorite rappers favorite rappers favorite rapper. And Nas favorite rappers favorite rapper
Nah, that would be MF DOOM
There alot of fav rappers favorite rapper. I think it has to do with generation. DOOM and Kool g rap are definitely the definition of that aswell. Nas is your favorite rappers favorite rapper for the younger generation, DOOM and KGR are Nas, PUN, AZ, EM, Vinnie Paz, people of that age favorites.

@@NeckNoddin niggas don’t listen to him it’s nas
Nas is probably one of the few rappers who never left their prime.
Wow! This one of the realest statement seen on social media. You are too right!
Damn true
Consistent
Bars !!
Smh this is a lie boldfaced one too he hadn’t had a good album since god son before he started working with hitboy

Yes, King's Disease 3... MAN I CAN'T WAIT!!!🔥🔥🔥
I been slapping that King's 1 and 2 on repeat every other week.
we bout to see on Fri...he might have another trilogy of classics...
@@thecunninlynguist you already KNOW🔥🔥🔥
He already has been the GOAT to me and I haven’t even heard those albums. Untitled solidified it for me an absolute masterpiece.
Nas is Goated, no one can take his place it was written. Give this brother his crown.
And it's not hard to tell. 🐐
Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic.
Like eminem said he should be in the rocknroll hall of fame .. give theses OGs their roses while we still have them here
He always had it

Man that album with Damian is so good. Every track is gold. People need to hear it. Every time someone knows it, they love it. I met this dude in Indonesia at a bar and he played a track and I asked him to play more. So we just vibed on the whole damn album. Nas is the King. No gimmicks.
Finally people are recognizing the real GOAT
It’s taken so long but we always knew he’s the Prophet
"Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is..."
Finally!!!
💯% it’s about damn time
All facts.
Nas is coming for the kill. Fourth album in 2 years, all three leading up are classics. At his age?!?! Very rare form. No other rapper has ever done this, ever. Legendary.
He's the GOAT! This Kings Disease run has cemented that
Nas is the greatest hiphop trendsetter of all times. He changed the whole style of rapping. ILLMATIC is the hip hop bible.
It really is. I bought that joint like 4-5 times. It’s the best hip hop album ever. Period.
Plus it was written was one of the albums to popularize mafioso rap
I think Rakim originated the flow, but Illmatic is simply perfect hip hop, my favorite album for sure.
One of the best, lyricists ever, no wonder J. Cole looks up to him. let Nas down gave me chills when I first heard it. I especially like the response record made Nas proud.
Is no one going to mention Nas song "One Mic" ~ One of the illest, street life, action sequences ever put to record...When Nas is in his zone EVERY line lands and connects with an electrifying intensity, accuracy and emotional element with is rarely, if ever, seen in the modern era.
Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic aint no debate untouchable 🐐.and nas does freestyle too in his songs he said it on his podcast with common. Some part he freestyle and some part hes writing. The goat for real. Nobody even close.
For me " The lost tapes " is something godly level man , can't even explain the feeling
Nas storytelling and flow is just amazing even in his recent albums king's disease 2 and magic you can see how he is improving and making amazing songs like moments ,deathrow east and wu for the children. Nas is one of the greatest storytellers of all time and one of the greatest rappers of all time.
I personally think 'It was writen' was his best album an absolute lyrical masterpiece 🔥 Sooo underrated!
You beat me to this comment... you couldn't have said this better
I don't think it's necessarily underrated(at least among hip hop fans), but I agree. Better than Illmatic(though to be fair, I was born in 84, so I wasn't really aware of Illmatic, or how good it was when it came out.)
Totally agree
Fr
valid take
THUN is arguably a top 10 Nas song and he just released it
Nas could never have made an album after 1999 and he still would be one of.the GOATS
His poetry’s deep, he never fell
Nas's rap should be locked in a cell/it ain't hard to tell
they call him nas, hes not your legal type of fella
Nas is like half man half amazing, no doubt
Nas nas nas nas is like
So blessed to have shaken hands with such a prolific and legendary MC. Meeting Nas solidified a profound impression on me: he is a CLASS ACT, through and through.
Nas success this far out is due to the fact that he never compromised his sound to compete.
Well said. He's the truest
Nas is the GOAT 🐐. His verse on Raekwons verbal intercourse is arguably the greatest verse in hip hop history. He was a child prodigy and a genius. Respect to the king 👑.
Raekwon was no chump either. He definitely represented himself as well on that track. One of his best.
No one can jump on a hook better
Purple, affirmative action, nas is coming, life is what you make it, project windows, what goes around, all some super favs
Q tip impression of Nas was spot on lol
One underrated song that just completely captures Nas greatness is Project Window on the Nastradameus album. You feel like your him looking out the window as a kid watching all hood drama. It really takes you to another zone
classic track with Ron Isley
Original unreleased version no hook!
illmatic is still the greatest debut album in any genre ever.
And he was 16yrs old
its the perfect debut album
Fr him and id say joeybada$$’s 1999 even thought its a mixtape both being made by 16 yr olds is insane
Nas is an MC's MC
When I think about Hip-Hop I think about Nas
Greatest MC of all time
To you Maybelline, The Best MC's are from The Middle of The Map 🗺️

That beat is crazy.
Nas untitled album is severely underrated! I put that one in my top 5 nas albums
I love that album 🔥
You echoed my thoughts bro
Eminem loves the culture so much. Impressive how he can sing a verse probably the whole song from legends.
right!! he never stopped being a student of the hip hop world! that’s what makes him so great is that he still go this day studies it so much, i think he’s low key like has an obsessive type disorder and it made it become one of the greatest of all time!
@@spencerscott9935 yup he's like Kobe in a sense of being a student of the craft first and foremost.

You gotta peep it. “So I comes back home, nobody’s out but Shorty Doo-Wop…”. That entire verse is that scene.

@M Mind Yes. Film is a wonderful track. I forgot to mention it. NaS catalog is so deep that even a wonderful track like Film can easily be dismissed. Thanks for the reminder.
GOAT! And this video is only scratching the surface as to the "why"
This is what I always say...he was ordained to do this. His writing is so profound and UNFORCED... perfect sentences.
Besides his storytelling and lyrical capabilities I think what Nas is gifted with is his voice. He’s got a silky smooth voice that helps.
Yes. Q-Tip remarked about Nas's voice in the 1994 promo documentary for his first album.
You're right. His voice was meant for Hip Hop.
This 3 Album run that he’s had has been flawless. I can’t wait to hear KD3

The effervescent of his flows is what does it for me. Nas is my 🐐
Nas is lapping all the other GOAT contenders at this point.
Fell in love with a track called The World Is Yours From ILLMATIC and got hooked to his catalog ever since
Great job on the video! Nas has made a huge impact on hip hop. His storytelling abilities are beyond compare. It never gets old because it's classic..
One thing about Nas is he knows how to make a compelling record. Most rappers can only do freestyles and are grossly one dimensional in their subject matter. They're only good for a posse cut and would be boring to listen to over the course of an album without being laced with beats from top producers. Nas has never been carried by beats and has the lyrical versatility to make an album interesting.
This was so worth the watch. Motivated. Thank You
My all time favorite Rapper!
This is So inspirational to Watch! I knew it at Ten years Old when I first heard “it ain’t hard to tell” He was a Master emcee!
Love that last quote about enjoying the journey!
Nas has always been the goat 🐐 that’s dope how his boys was in the booth with him when he was recording
This is inspiring me to write better. That's the mark of a great rapper. To inspire others.
Half-man, half-amazing.
Kings disease 3 just confirms hes one of the greatest, goes just as hard as illmatic did when it came out.
Nas has been waiting for a producer like hitboy for a loooong time… when I first heard that same beat I was like ooohhhhh shiitttt!
With different colours of broken glass, Our bikes would catch flats a lot - NAS

Nas puts my on a whole other vibe when I listen to him...a true G O A T!
Last words in an unrated gem!!!
I heard a rock guy say the best albums of all time across genres is Illmatic and The Score. That was big for hip hop. And the fact he put Illmatic up there was crazy.
Yoooo....I appreciate this segment on Esco. U made my Saturday🤟🏼 ♍'s in da building
Yeah & that KD3 is everything right now Nas did great on that one along with HB with them beats Kings Disease 3 album of the year shoutout to Nas
The day we stop listening to Nas is the day Hip-Hop is truly dead
The sound of Nas voice is comfort
Too many great tracks, verses, and quotables to pick one to post man. I can hit play on this man's catalogue and just listen from there. Nas the greatest of all time for real.
Nas and Kanye West are what got me into hip-hop. Cool to see Ye giving Nas his praises

Amazing video, thank you for this. As great as Nas is, I still think he gets overlooked and sometimes even hated on by mainstream media, especially as it pertains to his music after Illmatic. To me, he’s the greatest of all time for his voice, rhyming ability, flow, versatility, storytelling and longevity. Not to mention that he is a trendsetter outside of the booth as well.
In my opinion the greatest and I been listening to NaS since illmatic!!!
I got chills when Eminem rapped halftime
That part when he went ham while listening to that Magic beat from Hitboy🔥🔥 Definitely enjoyed this episode fam. Totally unrelated but personally, I'd love to see one on Takeoff cause I heard somewhere that he only did one takes
Nas is my fav rapper and I like the way you put this all together.
One of my favourite Nas songs is untitled and legendary -mike tyson not to mention his collabo with scarface in between us
Love Rewind. I can agree with that being his best song lyrically.
It's definitely at top 5-10 song of his but definitely not #1.
The GOAT! KD3 is going to be crazy!
