Thank you for one of the greatest moment in music history! I could pay everything to live this. 7:04 N.Y. State Of Mind 12:44 Life's A Bitch 17:05 The World Is Yours 24:54 Halftime 30:40 Memory Lane 35:35 One Love 37:38 Represent 42:00 One Time 4 Your Time 46:17 It Ain't Hard To Tell Only writing this list gave me goosbumps...damn
Almost cried?... I was in the building with actual tears streaming down my face. About to catch the 30th Anniversary on Sunday, 7/21 in VA at Wolf Trap and he's backed by the NSO again. ... DOPE!!!
I personally think... This is how nas should perform on every stage... With the symphony... His music is classic.... It should portrayed in classical way on every stage with an ochestra
It's so refreshing to hear an MC just rhyming clearly on his own, without some shitty hype man / entourage shouting and joining in over the end of each line.
Thebe Tech@ I'm down with u, you Nas fan u family to me' I'm in PTA, we need to push the culture forward... Greatest rapper ever. Delivery, sylabals, flow & content.
Memory Lane is my fav joint. Second thing I have to say: read the lyrics to his songs! It takes a genius to even realize the imagination he had especially at that young age (17?) to think of all these lyrics....I don't even know what half the vocabulary means...not just the street vocabulary but all of it. Genius mf, and talented like a motha...big ups to you Nas
Nas is a musician,a trickster a rap composer who brokers his rhymes to bring the unearthly...down to earth in a grand fashion ez just incomparable....unequitable
If you haven't got any goosebumps listening to this! True Hip Hop isn't in yojr blood and soul. Felt it for each song especially for The World Is Yours! GOD DAM! NAS MADE IT!
Was this lyrically also one of nas' best performances on tape ever? Ive never heard him this crisp. Only misses a few rhymes, and god knows he did that shit a lot in his earlier live performances. Hes coming to europe this summer and Im seeing him for my only second time. Hope hes in this shape!
It's hard to express using words how good and outstanding this live performance is, damn I feel blessed what a great time to be alive, thanks nasty Nas and everyone who worked on this project, much love ❤️
This is just astonishing! I never expected illmatic could be improved, but this is actually fairly close... I am truly thankful for whomever "orchestrated" this. I hope they create more!
It was done by the guy on the drums - Tim Davies, the guy with the glasses on. He arranges and conducts for many films and leads his own jazz big band and has his own music that blends hip hop, rock and jazz. He also worked with Aloe Blacc and Kendrick Lamar.
If I ruled the world, I would have that in my living room, sit back on my lounge now just tell em to play all my favourite nas tracks.. Hip hop is a living organism now it's growing now gonna take over the planet..
Can’t believe I’m mentioning this, but: shut up Lonzo(?) Ball. Watch this and be humbled. Stay in YOUR lane. Don’t talk shit and don’t talk SHIT about Nas. You represent nothing but bad manners, this man represents all of this.
Damn. Tear drop from my eye on last song......good old days :) Just memories with friends that are gone... Thank you from Slovakia! Wish he came here to do such a concert some day !
Who is here in 2024....Esco ♥️
Just saw him in Vegas doing the 30 year anniversary of Illmatic with the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra
yoooo
Las Vegas 2024🎉
@RyanTobler I think he'll be back in Feb 24 if I'm not mistaken
Rakim passed the torch to Nas, and ever since, has been the true King of New York. Not Jay, not Big... Nas. Always has been, always will be
When rakim passed the torcth
TRUE
Naah man, Big is the king, Nas is the prince, and Wu Tang are the humble knights
FACTS!!
👑
Thank you for one of the greatest moment in music history! I could pay everything to live this.

The Classiest Shit in Hip Hop History
I've said it before and I'll say it again and again.... Illmatic is the Bible of Rap
I almost cried listening this is way too deep
Almost cried?... I was in the building with actual tears streaming down my face. About to catch the 30th Anniversary on Sunday, 7/21 in VA at Wolf Trap and he's backed by the NSO again. ... DOPE!!!
I personally think... This is how nas should perform on every stage... With the symphony... His music is classic.... It should portrayed in classical way on every stage with an ochestra
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
It feels RIGHT
The orchestra and nas dangerous assassins on the scene all but love from Kenya 🇰🇪to the GOAT 🐐 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It Was Written Next. That's such a classic album.
It Was Written is me favourite hip hop album and its what woke me up to Nas, i was too young when Illmatic came out and did not understand the lyrics.
Rakim backed by an orchestra would really be Dope.
From South Africa ❤️
Nas you're the greatest 🔥we're gifted
It's so refreshing to hear an MC just rhyming clearly on his own, without some shitty hype man / entourage shouting and joining in over the end of each line.
The intro though. Everything from the beginning of the video to the moment where he stepped on stage was unbelievably sick
From South Africa, mad respect to Nas!
Thebe Tech@ I'm down with u, you Nas fan u family to me' I'm in PTA, we need to push the culture forward... Greatest rapper ever. Delivery, sylabals, flow & content.
From Finland as well!
I'm with you this is so classic,I dont get enough of Nas.
@@ncedisilekafile7557 you and me both
From Ghana 🇬🇭 n I personally think nas is the greatest to ever bless the mic 🎤
The most underrated thing on UA-cam
The world is yours is a legit masterpiece, so haunting, makes me feels like im in the metropolis
This is epic its like reopening the illmatic tape back in 94
shittt im still looking for a tape
Damn! All rap should be played like this. Nas lifting the bar too high once again. Orchestra-rap is as of today a genre in music. 😎
thing is music doesnt need generes
He was pretty late to this kanye did this shit in 2006
100% agree. i think some other peoples lyrics won't survive this exposure.
Who don't love this nigga the best mc in the world. Thanks nas for keeping this thang alive
New York State of Mind...the illmatic anthem 🔥🙌
Memory Lane is my fav joint. Second thing I have to say: read the lyrics to his songs! It takes a genius to even realize the imagination he had especially at that young age (17?) to think of all these lyrics....I don't even know what half the vocabulary means...not just the street vocabulary but all of it. Genius mf, and talented like a motha...big ups to you Nas
This version of It ain't hard to tell gave me goosebumps ...so iconic and out of this world . The violins and the flute are so magistral .
All the way from South Africa, Nas is the GOAT 🐐
Nas is a musician,a trickster a rap composer who brokers his rhymes to bring the unearthly...down to earth in a grand fashion ez just incomparable....unequitable
best feeling is to work your whole life in the symphony and finally gettin the Nas gig... hahaha
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Nas the GOAT🐐
Wow, just wow, I was 17 when this dropped and I bought it on cassette ... I remember I played it to death as a kid in Scotland.
Iron Mike, Messiah Type! Play this back every morning on Pandora while working from home.
IT AINT HARD TO TELL NAS IS THE G.O.A.T.
watching this shit like i was there man, feeling this right here...shit can save your life
Lets go back... Rap was deamonized..this just solidified how far this genre has reached.. Im so glad as fan to be part of the history
Mwanakomana wa Mwari, much love from Zimbabwe!
Big Respect from Portugal, Nas lyrically its amazing. Illmatic best hip hop Album ever. Love to all
Thursday 9th September 2021 11:35 am GMT...Ghana Accra adenta ashiyie ...just lying in bed listening to NAS with an orchestra
Greatestness Personified!!!!!!!!!! Love You Nas
Nice
If you haven't got any goosebumps listening to this! True Hip Hop isn't in yojr blood and soul. Felt it for each song especially for The World Is Yours! GOD DAM! NAS MADE IT!
Thank god they made a symphony for this Prodigy...this is refining the classic to some distant perfection
No back ground vocals crazy
There were a few but just in the right places
I was in my element watching this concert.🤯 The orchestra absolutely killed " The World is Yours" 💥💥💥💥Come back to Birmingham UK brother Nas.👊👊👊👊
I don’t even know how they dare to compare Jay-z to this guy.
Sofiene El Kebir two different artist, but hip hop is a competitive genre, so comparison is not inevitable
uh... they are very close, if u listen to Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z is definitely on Nas level
Pascal siakam Jay Z got entendres and introduced mafiaso lyricism so no it’s not “way ahead”
man the firm was the dopest shit ever no need to compare them
why not ? it is these comments... I am 100% you didnt even listen to JAY's discography... they are both great both top 3 DOA
Man what i wouldn't have given to be there live. This is legendary. That intro hits on a whole other level with the orchestra
Memory lane always brings me to tears. Reminds me of a better time.
Same here..great track
Was this lyrically also one of nas' best performances on tape ever? Ive never heard him this crisp. Only misses a few rhymes, and god knows he did that shit a lot in his earlier live performances. Hes coming to europe this summer and Im seeing him for my only second time. Hope hes in this shape!
Phenomenal
Amazing
Excellence
U just said it promptly
I am two years late but what the hell, I'd still re-watch it countless times even if I watched it two years ago.
I am thankful to have seen this in my lifetime. Mother land South Africa !
Katlego Moticoe@ u family, think we should have that Nas movement in SA. Listening in Pretoria centurion.
Symphony Orchestra and Green Lantern killed it! They all sounded amazing.
These instrumentals are so smooth with the orchestra, especially Represent and Memory Lane
I just saw him do this in providence ri , it was absolutely fire!!! Nas is truly half man, half Amazing!
Yo!!! My daughter was there 3 days ago too
Master of ceremony right there legend
coolest thing i've seen on youtube
It's hard to express using words how good and outstanding this live performance is, damn I feel blessed what a great time to be alive, thanks nasty Nas and everyone who worked on this project, much love ❤️
Nas : True Genius
This is just astonishing! I never expected illmatic could be improved, but this is actually fairly close... I am truly thankful for whomever "orchestrated" this. I hope they create more!
