I was 25. The place I used to work at, we all chipped in and bought the cassette tape the day it dropped, and wore it out that whole weekend (working stock at a major department store part time) I'm 53 now. Agree and Co-sign. Forever Classic!
@@FusionC6 the hype was amazing, got it the first day it came out, well my brother did for me because he could purchase it and me as an 8 year old could not lol
The best rapper ever. And what I also love is that the arranger of music of this concert is done by my favorite composer, who is on the drums (with the glasses on), Tim Davies.
Nearly 5 years late, but definitely better than never. This has to be one of best ever rap performances I've ever seen in my whole life. Simply stunning, NAS IS THE BEST !!
Maybe if he sang it on pitch instead of screaming it off key way too high. That’s the problem with all rap though, never sounds like the album because they’re always yelling it live
As a Virgo witnessing my favorite emcee (Nas, a Virgo) killing a sample of one of favorite songs by my spiritual twin ( MJ, the King, another Virgo), I'm in heaven!
Damn UA-cam algorithm has this recommended in January '22. Nevertheless, I'm thankful for watching this nostalgic moment. Fun times in 94. Hell fun times before cell phone cameras.
Nas and mob deep gave every white kid in America a chance to struggle. My dad wanted to beat my ass when the system hit in the driveway at 1am. We were not smart enough to turn it off down the road. May miss a line.
Seeing Nas so overjoyed after the first verse ends with the crowd reciting the chorus is so satisfying, Nas is the goat
Nas >>>>>>> Jay
@@Unxpekted W
I was a 12-year old when Illmatic was dropped, and now I'm a 39-year old. One of the greatest hip-hop classics.

Woah I was 1 Lool
Le meilleur rappeur de tous les temps ... Best ever from Paris
That Michael Jackson "Human Nature" sample is classic.
True daT. I brought my soul mate to see my mom and she said she has a ass that is too fat
Nas is so slick on that beat too, just weaving right through it
Word
What my mom said wasn't fine/ She got a fatty larger than mine
On God.
I'm 53 now and I was 26 when Illmatic came out, now my 25 year old son is bumping Illmatic now in 2022!!!!
Classic
Full circle
I’m 40 and it’s still a classic.
TIME IS ILLMATIC
Orchestral version hit different 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This makes me feel warm inside. I love this album. I was listening to this in 94
lucky. i can only imagine the hype back then! i still bang this album constantly.. my bros still toss these gems on cause they known i love em so much
Graduated in 95'. Hip hop was my life back then....

Even the Fans are so Polite to Start Clapping when he Finishes
Nas Fans has a Community that I want to be a part of.....❤️
Dare to dream. Live on with truth in your heart
That suit is fire 🔥 he killed this concert!
This performance was epic, live with a whole orchestra !
Nas is just on a different planet he was always 10 years ahead on every album. 🐕
Nas brings class to hip hop.
I wish the orchestra can come out with the instrumental…too hard
Yes that would be great
I wish they could’ve done a studio recording of this. This was way too good to not make a new album with it
@@phil_maticExactly like without the intro and the pauses for the crowd
Damn!!🔥🔥🔥Everybody’s smiling & vibing...B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!!❤️😏
South Africa approves 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

They say nobody can stand next to jay on a verzuz stage, in his own words, "I had to laugh at that" 🤣 😂
He rank number 1 MC in my book. Crazy catalog.
The best rapper ever. And what I also love is that the arranger of music of this concert is done by my favorite composer, who is on the drums (with the glasses on), Tim Davies.
Nearly 5 years late, but definitely better than never. This has to be one of best ever rap performances I've ever seen in my whole life. Simply stunning, NAS IS THE BEST !!
The definition of class

I don’t think you could do this with any other older album and have it sound this amazing
Maybe reunited wutang
Maybe if he sang it on pitch instead of screaming it off key way too high. That’s the problem with all rap though, never sounds like the album because they’re always yelling it live
Don't underestimate creativity.
