@Ash Ed What you mean you "can't relate"? 😂😅 You from London where they have more projects and "hoods" than most US cities combined and I know that the upbringing out there is very similar to here in the States. So that statement kind of interesting to a extent unless you grew up in the middle class out there!? Regardless, I can respect your perspective.
Damn... growing up in Queens it was a different time it was violent but nothing compared to those times... I never even thought about other people’s perspectives.. like people overseas listening to the same music I been listening to since elementary school
David Mitchell London has more hoods and projects than US cities combined? First of all who fooled you bruv? Secondly, do you have any idea of the size of the UK? Do you understand that the US is like 40 times the size of the UK? Thirdly, we don’t have “projects” we have poor neighbourhoods or council estates but we don’t ever refer to them as “projects.” or “hoods” Our most populated city is London which has 9.7 Million people and the UK has a population of 66Million compared to 300Million+ in the US so by that stat alone there is more of everything in the US And no, we cannot relate to your US upbringing because our only perspective of your life is what we see in the news and in movies - our upbringing compared to the US is 100% different - there are no similarities, you clearly know nothing about the UK Let me educate you bruv, Oregon is about the size of the UK, just one of your states. So how in heavens name can we have more “projects” and “hoods” than the US combined???

King’s Disease is a breath of fresh air. Dopeness!!! Agreed, Nas took the baton from Rakim and carried it further. Two of the best MC’s to ever do it.💯
Nas has always stayed level-headed and been his own person even after all these years in the music industry. On top of that, his music is consistently great. That’s amazing.
That's why He's my Top emcee besides the music U can tell his energy is pure he's humble, King's Disease though Amazing Album So happy this guy deserves the love he's getting and more.💯
@@carlostharealest5637 can you tell me why one of the main focus for most people is the mention of someone being humble? I actually don't mind how a person carries themselves as long as they treat others with respect and consideration.
Jason Toussaint By whom?? Beyonce fans. Jay doesn't get the same love and respect as Nas. and among real hip hop heads Nas is rated above Jay don't confuse record sales with rap skills Jay isn't on Nas's level period.
Az is so underrated for real. But I am glad he always stood with Nas till now. God bless Nas . From esco, nastradamus, nasty. I have followed your wisdom
He is the second GOAT and my second personal favorite Emcee of all time! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🐐🖤❤️💯🔥😍 Most definitely! Top three lyricists and story tellers of all time! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🐐🖤❤️💯🔥😍
That was smart on his part. He has to still cater to his lady fans. I would have said the same thing as well if i was that famous. Women love this guy.
Nas and Jay-Z can rap into their senior citizen ages, and probably longer, if God allows. Those dudes haven’t slowed down, they can still rap better than a lot of us young guys.
Nas' response about Jay-Z always dropping on the same day as him was very diplomatic, but the way he pushed it back to Jay tells you he knows its not just a coincidence. Basically, Jay has still never got over 'ether'. 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
My older cousins used to bump Nas when I was a little kid. I'll never forget them playing illmatic & it was written mid 90s and telling me, kid, if you ever listen to Rap, make sure you always have Nas in your rotation. He's been my GOAT ever sense man!!
Pay attention: Now this is how a mature 46 year old person conducts themselves. They area not sitting there gossiping and talking about silly beefs from 20 plus years ago.
Agreed bro. Nas is 46 years old, and all those beefs were in his 20s. The way he talks about it is just like "we were teenagers, shit happened it's all love"
I mean he has a lot more to do than just talk about jay z and 2pac all the time, it’s just a part of hip hop history that he doesn’t forget, but won’t talk about extensively
I’m 43 and have followed Nas since day 1. Illmatic was instrumental in my love for Hip Hop. His humble demeanor in this interview further solidifies my admiration for him. Mad love and respect for this musical genius and all around good brother.

Yo, I'm the N the A to the S-I-R And If I wasn't, I must've been Escobar You know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed Hair parted with a barber's preciseness, Bravehearted for life
That was his many odes to the great rakim. " I'm the R to the K I A M if I wasn't then why would I say I am. As an adult I listen to alot of Rakim and man there are so many jewels and so much comparison without copy catting.
I enjoy being alone too. I have almost 0 drama. So much freedom and peace. Plus, you appreciate good company when it comes and you don't suffer the foolish draining your energy.
Seeing NAS get emotional about the violence in his old neighborhood made me emotional as well...you see to him trying back tears! Wow!. growth is a amazing thing!..BLACK MEN UNITE!..its ok to cry!👏🏽🤝🏼😔
Nas is my favorite rapper. Didn't always get the recognition he deserved, but the hip hop world is finally catching up to him and appreciating his catalogue
Honestly one of the best Nas interviews ever, y’all really got him to open up and it’s important we get these types of interviews while these legends are still with us. Shouts out to Nas for being a true king. Truly the goat.
If you started off on NAS with “Life is Good” or earlier you won’t understand how rare and big this interview is however don’t let that stop you from appreciating it. Take this in! You are watching 2pac, Biggie, fallen Soljah’s in the street, big time hustlers who behind the wall and can’t speak and everyone else without a voice major from the streets. This is him, the voice for us! It’ll make sense 100s of years from now when his discography is dissected. Peace.
I absolutely love the mind and spirit of Nas and how he remains humble throughout his life’s journey; how he has grown from experiences and still teaches from them moving forward in positivity. Much love to him always and wishing him 114 more years! ❤️
Pac and Nas r my top 2. Sometimes it's hard to place one above the other. When I bump pac I'm in straight "pac mode" but then I turn on Nas then frequencies start to change.
King's Disease is a classic. The moment that we're in now set the stage and Nas delivered. Hitboy Production was A1, Nas brought on the legends and the youngins and put together a cohesive and succinct body of work. I gauge an album's greatness off whether you can press play and let it ride or not. From uplifting bars to a peak into a the man's soul, this one was powerful.
This album is so damn refreshing I am 27 and often times wonder why artists don’t make good music like this! You don’t have to be over 40 to enjoy this you just have to appreciate real music
Dude l am.52 years old and remember NYC buzz for nas debut album back then.he didn't disappoint hip hop fans.wish he did collaboration joint with late notorious big.that would be bananas
This was a really good interview. Great questions. Nas was smoked out, candid & comfortable. Felt like I got a glimpse into what he's really like & how it would be to kick it and smoke one. Dope episode 👌🏾
Legitimately NAS is the one artist that I really relate too, his music inspired me too grind n finish school. I Would not be where I am without the inspiration this Legend has provided.
Always so much knowledge. Nas gives u life lessons. Humility is a gift. Been rocking with you since ILLMATIC and ain't gone stop. Much LOVE from East Oakland !!!
As a Nas stan I am, if I wasn't then why would I say I am. His best interview ever. He's in a good space and seeing how the shootings in QB is weighing heavy on dude heart and did't hide it. I felt that too Much love to the God MC Nasty Nas! Lets go Esco🙏🏻
@55:05 mark Nas gets choked up when talking about the violence in Queensbridge. You can tell that when he said “All we got is us” that he was recalling a time when that was the motto amongst himself & comrades that are no longer here. This is one of the reading why he will always be “The King of Queens” & my all time favorite rapper. The stories we listen to are real & so is he!!! Peace King ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the melanin in our skin...It's the fountain of youth that some are chasing....No stress, good diet, hydration, and good vibes will keep you young.
Everyone say Nas look young ... Taking life as it come (not stressing) not partying on a regular, and limiting not totally but limiting the toxic ish in your system anybody could live to see 100 plus #TakeLifeAsItCome
Nas is the sexiest man I've ever seen, and he's also my favorite MC! He's had an amazing career and this new album is dope, my favorite song is "Replace me".......
this man is worth 70 million, comes on the show with subtle jewelry, addresses the hosts with manners, and always expresses gratitude. we can all learn something about humility with nas.

And If I wasn't, I must've been Escobar
You know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed
Hair parted with a barber's preciseness, Bravehearted for life
son of a blues player,
Return of the golden child son of a blues player
Puffin that tropical, cups of that vodka too
Papi chuce wake up in the hospital throw up never member I do this the righteous steps
That was his many odes to the great rakim. " I'm the R to the K I A M if I wasn't then why would I say I am. As an adult I listen to alot of Rakim and man there are so many jewels and so much comparison without copy catting.
"Only thing worse than being alone is wanting to be alone"
Was the first line that hit me on the album
Yea I love being alone until a man is comfortable being alone without a woman he will never understand life
I enjoy being alone too. I have almost 0 drama. So much freedom and peace. Plus, you appreciate good company when it comes and you don't suffer the foolish draining your energy.
Straight chill that line gave me...
That line brought me tears my man....so much went through my head
same
Seeing NAS get emotional about the violence in his old neighborhood made me emotional as well...you see to him trying back tears! Wow!. growth is a amazing thing!..BLACK MEN UNITE!..its ok to cry!👏🏽🤝🏼😔
Nas is doing a benjamin buttons on us. Straight aging in reverse.
YES!
STILL FINE! he literally looks early to mid 30s. Crazy
For real!
Must be something in that Queens water.
Yes still fine
I concur on Nas and AZ doing a whole album together. They play off each other so well when they’re on a track together
No sophomore jinx that second album is hall of fame.
It Was Written was a classic!
Facts!!!!!
SoulOfTheSouth @Even Pac loved it back then
Indeed
I co-sign this powerful post. I think it’s his best album.
Nas is my favorite rapper. Didn't always get the recognition he deserved, but the hip hop world is finally catching up to him and appreciating his catalogue
Time, quality matures through time
naw if you loved or even just liked rap/hip-hop Nas was always a player he just didnt put himself out there he let his flow speak for itslef
He’s GOAT in contention with Rakim, those two are the only GOAT tier level rappers not even Jay-Z tbh.
Honestly one of the best Nas interviews ever, y’all really got him to open up and it’s important we get these types of interviews while these legends are still with us. Shouts out to Nas for being a true king. Truly the goat.
I’m with charlamagne I never understood the beat picking, his beats are fine to me
If you started off on NAS with “Life is Good” or earlier you won’t understand how rare and big this interview is however don’t let that stop you from appreciating it. Take this in! You are watching 2pac, Biggie, fallen Soljah’s in the street, big time hustlers who behind the wall and can’t speak and everyone else without a voice major from the streets. This is him, the voice for us! It’ll make sense 100s of years from now when his discography is dissected. Peace.
Hell yeah !
Facts,Nas was both peer and a rival to 2pac and biggie when they were both still alive, not many rappers can say that.
Well said
Real talk
my G you blowed AF.. i know cause i am and i felt every word god. Peace King!
AZ is the most underrated Rapper ever.
I have AZ as the most inderrated also!!!
Nas is intimidated by him & Mega
That man don't get enough credit at all To me he should be in the same talk with Big, Jay, and Nas.....
Exactly!
He got bars but his music is 🗑
Nipsey and Nas would've been dope
Word.
I absolutely love the mind and spirit of Nas and how he remains humble throughout his life’s journey; how he has grown from experiences and still teaches from them moving forward in positivity. Much love to him always and wishing him 114 more years! ❤️
This man gave me confidence when I ain’t have it in myself as a kid.. this man AND Rakim on the top till I parish
Rakim
2Pac
Nas
Pac and Nas r my top 2. Sometimes it's hard to place one above the other. When I bump pac I'm in straight "pac mode" but then I turn on Nas then frequencies start to change.
I really want to know why you fell like that. Not top 50?
Finally a Hip Hop Artist!! Nas Ancestors are with him!! He is feeding the world now! ✊🏾
The emotional response to Black men killing black men was so authentic. I pray he can get some of.these young people off the streets with him messages
for real... I really felt that moment
I so agree.
So Nas didnt do Breakfast club until he could do it at home 😂😂 he a real one!
King's Disease is a classic. The moment that we're in now set the stage and Nas delivered. Hitboy Production was A1, Nas brought on the legends and the youngins and put together a cohesive and succinct body of work. I gauge an album's greatness off whether you can press play and let it ride or not. From uplifting bars to a peak into a the man's soul, this one was powerful.
@MrSpliffstarz my visceral feeling, but will do.
@Derrick Matthews Thanks for the love. I still cry for the fact that Pac associated himself with Suge Knight. Gone too soon unfortunately
@Derrick Matthews Alhamdulilah! Shukran for those word Akhi! Assallualikum
@Derrick Matthews Likewise Akhi!
“If you’re bothered by me that’s on you” #Period
That part!!!
Yes, that part.
Nah. Not that part.
I luv it!!
His eyes, his voice, his intelligence. Salute to Mr. Nasir Jones. 😘
Nas looking like a whole high schooler on Breakfast Club.
angela yee be like “nah this interview is flowing too good what can i do to mess it up? wait i know!.... AZ DOESNT LIKE ELEVATORS”
I was just saying on a diff video the other day she love changing the subject just when the artist is about to get into some good shit
@@SunniMerlot ua-cam.com/video/bMnrKaq4Mk8/v-deo.html
I was like whattttt??? Your birthday party??? Weirdo
I like that she switched it up cuz this is the third interview I’ve listened to and they ask Nas all the same Qs
😂
I see legend, I click immediately! The album is nice. That’s “King’s Disease” intro is fire!
No rapper does an album intro better than, Esco. Not up for debate!
@@trinigladiator8830 or an ending an album as well. The Cure is perfection🔥🔥🔥🔥
Factz
Nas danced around that Hov drop date question like a true vet . @32:00
When he said whether I’m up on down don’t mention me for either, that was incredibly humble & shows after all these years he does it for the culture
This album is so damn refreshing I am 27 and often times wonder why artists don’t make good music like this! You don’t have to be over 40 to enjoy this you just have to appreciate real music
Yeah, the album is a Classic
Dude l am.52 years old and remember NYC buzz for nas debut album back then.he didn't disappoint hip hop fans.wish he did collaboration joint with late notorious big.that would be bananas
Say it louder, say it again, so the people in the back will here!!!
This was a really good interview. Great questions. Nas was smoked out, candid & comfortable. Felt like I got a glimpse into what he's really like & how it would be to kick it and smoke one. Dope episode 👌🏾
You know Ether hurt, cause Hov has dropped music the same day as Nas ever since.
Facts
Or the day after
That shit do make your soul burn slow. DAMN Imagine a diss that has effect for 20 years
Legitimately NAS is the one artist that I really relate too, his music inspired me too grind n finish school. I Would not be where I am without the inspiration this Legend has provided.
Same shit here
I feel yah 💯
Always so much knowledge. Nas gives u life lessons. Humility is a gift. Been rocking with you since ILLMATIC and ain't gone stop. Much LOVE from East Oakland !!!
Nasir "No Wrinkles" {True Legend} Jones.
Lyrics that stay true to his journey and life growth. 👑
Won’t be a Nas comment section without at least 40 people saying he looks 16.
He made it to 21 now.
“ the don boy pristine like I’m still 17” - NAS...
I woke up early on my born day; I'm, it's a blessin'
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
“Twenty years in this game, looking 17.”
Doesn't age
Nas has such a cute smile idk why keeps looking away when he laughs or smiles. He so shy 😂
Nas is so handsome!!
😂😂😂 he is i think it had to do with the chip tooth he had for years
kendra isley awww that’s so cute 😂
Speaks to his introvert nature.
Groupies
As a Nas stan I am, if I wasn't then why would I say I am. His best interview ever. He's in a good space and seeing how the shootings in QB is weighing heavy on dude heart and did't hide it. I felt that too Much love to the God MC Nasty Nas! Lets go Esco🙏🏻
Stan? Gtfoh
So dope to see Nas still shining. Salute bro!
Did you hear Az on one of his songs?. Az still sounds good. Nas is always in the process of rebuilding himself.
Nas looks youthful and well. I'm happy to see him still thriving after all of these years in the business. He's legendary.
Nas is the Roy Jones of Rap he's a lot of people favorite rapper. He my top 3 all time favorite rapper
“God Painted me black, thanks for that “ - NAS

9p
@55:05 mark Nas gets choked up when talking about the violence in Queensbridge. You can tell that when he said “All we got is us” that he was recalling a time when that was the motto amongst himself & comrades that are no longer here. This is one of the reading why he will always be “The King of Queens” & my all time favorite rapper. The stories we listen to are real & so is he!!! Peace King ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I dont mean harm or malice to anyone, but I am SO GLAD that I can say the same. Melanin drip🔥
I love the melanin in our skin...It's the fountain of youth that some are chasing....No stress, good diet, hydration, and good vibes will keep you young.
@sdiallo372 yes you have to respect your gut
YOP 😊😁🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍💯💯💯
Nas older than everyone on this interview and look 10 years younger. Blessings to the Icon Nasir Jones...Envy has a lot of snitch like tendencies lmao
Factz Lmao
@leggosmodro okdo Nas? His dad's a singer...
I thought yee was like 50
For real. Nas looks like in his late 20's
Nellzartworx no Envy’s dad
Everyone say Nas look young ... Taking life as it come (not stressing) not partying on a regular, and limiting not totally but limiting the toxic ish in your system anybody could live to see 100 plus #TakeLifeAsItCome
Big Bro That's FACTS!
Nas is the sexiest man I've ever seen, and he's also my favorite MC! He's had an amazing career and this new album is dope, my favorite song is "Replace me".......
Great song
@@mphenomenal ua-cam.com/video/bMnrKaq4Mk8/v-deo.html
U kinda sexy too
Dope
my boy NaS gett all the ladies haha 💯
The Kanye West album was his last on def Jam...I don’t blame him for saving this one for his own label
It was?
At least one person who sees it the way t is... he was closing on them and taking it into his own hands. See his first drops on his own was LT2
Taking Year u right
The look that NAS was giving Envy when Envy was telling the gun story😂😂😂😂
@Miss Mo lol if Charlemagne really got to his clown shit.. Nas would have dipped so fast 😂😂😬
He told that story on the last breakfast club with Nas.
@BakerMan GetDatBread I agree cuz that's when he is serious
Bro I peeped that lmao
When is a Nas + Black Thought (the roots) collaboration coming. 2 of the best lyricists to walk the planet. I have been waiting for too long.
black thought disappointed the last years, he only raps on corny ass beats, not even on griselda level at all
