TIMES are wasting MIND elevation DIME sack lasing. I love the internal rhyymes that turn the end of each line into a four syllable rhyme instead of 2.

Ive been talking about how nas cadance makes him sound like part of the beat. Nice one.

Have you done rewind?.

I don't think the in-the-moment reaction format maximizes your unique perspective and knowledge of poetry. I humbly suggest that you try doing pre-prepared analyses or breakdowns instead. I think you'd get a lot more out of the song and we'd get a lot more out of your knowledge.

Nas is the best we got left

Illmatic should be heaven to you as a poet then ...

As a Poet I think you would be very impressed by Memory Lane and also Nas is Like! I could suggest so many from a legendary catalog but those two would make for great reactions!

When it comes to rap, Nas is the most lyrical. He pairs a picture with his words. Another other great songs where he lyrically puts you right there with his words is “Rewind” if you haven’t heard “Rewind” listen to it now. I’m sure you’ve heard nothing like it before. Read your book. I like it. It draws one intro the world that is created in the short poems. Kind of makes me wonder… “is that what I was think?” Or “Is that how I felt?”

Great video 👍

Oooo this is my favorite Nas song! Are you open to taking suggestions of great lyricists/lyricism/poetry in rap?

This man has published and pressed two books, and someone says you'll be a better writer if you listen to Nas. Sometimes, I don't think people realize when they're being insulting...

It’s just the perspective of a gun…the second writer I’ve seen over think it

As for lyrical rap, seriously, I wish you could speak Polish, because Łona does rap in that very language. Lyrical genius. But when it comes to English... Aesop Rock, I recommend you his work, for example "None shall pass.

gotta do Rather Unique by AZ. only rapper to get close to Nas’s lyricism.

Nas - Fetus Nas - Money is my bitch Nas - Undying Love Nas - Rewind Nas - Last Words Nas - Ether Nas - It Aint Hard To Tell Nas - Nas is like Every single one of these songs is a masterpiece. And Nas has many many more. Had to throw Ether in there lol.

Check out wishin by Masta Ace and Edo G

your analysis be off a little bit but you got most of it

In my opinion, what you're describing is internal rhymes. Like ABBA rhyme scheme so it allows rhyming in the middle along with rhyming the beginning and end. "Learn to ride the track/know the bass and the snare is basically there/ to provide the pace to guide the track " -ELZHI (Great rapper btw when it comes to patterns and schemes) (A)Ride the track (B) Bass and the snare (B) Basically there (A) Guide the Rap Nas did this a lot around this time in his career. He still does it now but he used it more heavily in the 90s.

Get down by nas story telling is insane

"Small World" Nas

Nas is the greatest to ever touch the mic the goat , and hes one of the greatest writer of all time and that goes in any category and genre if not the best. Do "nas memory lane" and "it aint har to tell" next and nas is one of the greatest poets ever. You can even study his poetry and lyrics.

Nas is Like It ain’t hard to tell Nas will blow your mind

NaS has about 8 or 9 personification songs. Check out FETUS ( aka BELLY BUTTON WINDOW ) 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🐐

We need more NaS reactions 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🐐

Great reaction. Another song you should check is SMALL WORLD, immaculate writing on that song. It's like a novel.

Nas- Beef (from the perspective of beef between 2 people)

The previous verse he ended with " I had some other plans, like the next time the beef is on I'll make myself jam right in my owner's hand". All of the guns were tired of murdering, but Nas had plans of doing something about it.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

"Last Words" Nas raps from the Perspective of a Prison Cell

Nas rewind...crazy he raps the story backwards

Nas rewind...crazy he raps teh story backwards

You do a great job with your reviews. I agree the more you dive into Nas the better you will get as a poet. Next two has to be these two…. Undying Love New York State of Mind

The ending to the song is so good, it symbolises that the cycle continues. High level storytelling with a timeless theme. Amazing writing.

If you remember, in the verse before Nas said the next time, he was going to "jam right in his owners hand." When he was talking about "the moment he was waiting "(for) he wasn't ready to kill, he was ready to "jam in his owner's hand." I saw a suggestion for "Rewind " by Nas. You really should try that one on next if this one impressed you. You'll probably pause the video a million times. (Lol) Nas has several mind-blowing lyrical and conceptual performances.

Nas - “Rewind” He tells a story backwards. Even the characters’ dialogue in the song is backwards and it still rhymes lol its a ridiculous level of writing. Give it a listen

Nas new york state of mind🔥

Undying Love 🔥

Nas fest R. Kelly.. 'Street dreaming remix'

Notice the song starts and ends with damn. Undying Love next.

I feel that Nas got some inspiration for this song from the original Toy Story movies - I think it came out a year or so before this song

Dope reaction definitely more Nas reactions I guess you can tap into his "Rewind" song🙏🙏

One of the most lyrical Nas songs is called "Nas Is Coming". You should add that to the list. Also add "It Ain't Hard to Tell' by Nas.

Do "purple"

Great reaction. Nas is the GOAT. And def the best poet. Nas - i gave you power Nas - undying love Nas - money is my bitch Nas - fetus These are all A+ storytelling poetic records. And Nas has many more. These are just a few of the best.

Would love to see your reaction to “Nas - Street Dreams”

Nas is the biggest poet there is and best with lyrics hes the greatest to ever touch the mic nas, the goat. If you love poetry you have to go through nas catalogue start with Illmatic. Nas "memory lane" you should do that then nas "i gave you power"

Subbed. More nas pls

He wrote this song as a teenager. Let that sink. Incredible. And he was a school dropout.

Do these Nas songs: Memory lane Stay chisel

Great breakdown on the rhyme schemes! Nas is 🔥
