Nas really is the Golden Child of rap even still at 50 years old.
The Golden Child, or A Golden Child? There's a lot of unmentioned names here 😆 😆
he is the Chosen
@@vitof.4626 Chosen, for what?
@@GODs_Son777 sorry, my bad - was a one to one translation and does not fit the english language? So he is "the One"
This old man 👴🏿 is a legend 👏
This guy. World's greatest MC. Lyrical genius, one of the great storytellers...I'm glad he's still putting out straight fire
rakim is the greatest mc but nas is still incredible
Nas is one of the godfather of hip hop the way he bridges the gap between the oversexualised, alcohol-centric, drug dealing lifestyle in the projects with true lyricism, charisma, character, lavish lifestyle while still staying ttd in his real life and not letting that fake soundcloud bs get to him…he’s the greatest rapper in my book even before illmatic, people forget the power in his tone and voice alone when they think about him
We proud of you Nas 💪🎉
Nas don’t forget you know what I’m talking about
I second that. We proud of Nas. Keep doing what you want to do.
DEFINETLY!
What Nas said about realizing that you are not different from people that are known to be the smartest, is 1000% facts.
Frfr 💯
I always felt that way 💯
, or are 'thought' to be the smartest but a lot of that, has to do with one's own self-confidence
@@treyharris8408Of course you did lmao
"Realizing" lmao
What Nas and you mean is that most people think they are smarter than they actually are lol
No one is more for the culture than Nas. The living embodiment of Hip Hop.

@@ducatarinago stand in a corner
@@ducatarina oh please, either you white or you not hip hop fan, 50 cent flourish on platform Nas built
Nas as the symbol for Hip-Hop turning 50 is the way things should be.
NaS True King, GOAT 🐐, pushing 50 looking 17, Over 30 Year Career, Unmatched Discography!
17 🤨? Don’t exaggerate bruh ...
@@jamesbond1348 😂🤣 He said pushing 40 looking 17 on Life Is Good. I'm definitely exaggerating. 🤣😂
I’ll give him 50 looking like 35-40 but he damn well ain’t looking 17 😂
I'm a Nas stan but he doesn't look 17🤣. 34-38 I'll give him.
@@christiancharles2866 🤣😂
Nas is the living embodiment of hip hop. Never sold his soul, stayed true to himself and continues to be dope. It no coincidence that hip hop and Nas are both 50.. God's Son!
Right 👍🏾💯
Man I really love to see Nas with every chance I get. The golden child
This brother is super humble, super talented, super legendary. The GOAT Nas
Him and pac
Thank you Nas
We are grateful.
One of the greatest gifts Hip Hop gave us is having Nasir Jones still healthy in mind, body and spirit dropping quality music 30 plus years later. Life is good. Thank you Nasir
Greatest MC of all time and there is not a doubt. Felt this in 95/96 when everyone was outside and he is just running laps around people at this point. Proud of you brother.🙏🏾
Nas ain't running nothing around anyone, he just putting out a lot of records. If Jay-Z, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Andre 3k come out, you'll know why they've always had an impact.
👏🏾🗣️💯

@@andilegxelesha-maqashu7348 Eminem albums have been thrash lately
@@andilegxelesha-maqashu7348Nas is putting out good records, that's the difference.
Shout out Nas - the best to ever do it, and the single most important rapper to bridge the gap between old and new school.
One of the few MCs not afraid to openly call
Himself a fan of the guys that came before him; he’s just for the culture and he shows that on every album
I’m a 23 y/o female & Nas is my top fav rapper of ALL TIME!🗣️💯👏🏾
Nas is running his own race and there is no traffic in his lane, coolest dude in the planet and he spits bars with life, nothing disruptive about this brother.
You can hate him now but you will love him forever, his the one and his my number Rap artist#Kings Disease🌻
Nas is 🐐. Spot on Esco, talk ur shit Boss
Got all your albums…greatest source of inspiration and humility you are.Halfman-halfamazing👊🏾👊🏾👌🏾 love from🇿🇼
Mdara Mune taste! Magic 2 is 🔥
This interview was great, wish it was longer!
I ❤ you Nas 🐐 🎤
ESCO is up 49-15 on the rap game. At this point I judge him against Prince, Elton John, Marvin and Mike. No other hip-hop artist catalog comes close if you go album for album and longevity
Facts tho
SUPER FACTS BRO!!!
Facts. He’s literally right up there with the Mick Jaggers and Springsteens. Hip Hop’s G.O.A.T
@thekhy-life7121 Facts. And tbh MJ didn’t even write his own songs like that. Nas writes ALL of his music. The amount of content and poetry in his songs could fill volumes of literature…that’s incredible
Ye and Kendrick
Love this brother for the gems he’s consistently fed us through out his career!! One of my favorite quotes
“imagination better than knowledge said Einstein, it’s all in the mind”
The lyrics on this verse have helped shape my life!! Thank you Nasir
Nas is the real GOAT of hip hop rap even the rza and other admitted that question hands down -what defines the greatest rapper 👉🏻body of work, impact, commercial success, storytelling, songwriting, longevity, live performance and rhyme skills. great rappers have an incredibly good feel for language and words. They weave stories and messages with incredible artistry. Think of Michelangelo's work at the Sistine Chapel. THAT'S what a great rapper does with words. This is why nas is the greatest
Yep 👍🏾💯
Nas was top 5 DoA before his recent run, but with the magic and KD series, he is the goat in my eyes.
The embodiment of hiphop nas is the peak of what hiphop is was and will ever be he is the greatest artist hiphop has ever made
The king speaks 👑 Salute to Nas ❤. This should be a whole lot longer
Nas is hiphop , he lives and breathes it, hiphop runs through his veins, im glad he’s finally getting his do, been rocking with my brother since 94 , Salute to the Goat 🐐
Same here 💯
More than Rap Nas is an awesome Businessman. I love the Kennedy Center Live with the Orchestra's KRS one is also an Icon🙏
GREATEST lyricist of ALL TIME. I love how he went back to help Rakim. Now, maybe we'll get to hear Rakim and Nas do an album like Meth and Ray. That would be the greatest gift to HIP HOP, especially if he assembled the producers of Illmatic and Dre........................................................
You gotta give nas more than 6 minutes.....I don't care what his schedule mightve been that day.
Nas is on the cover of Billboard and has an entire interview for you to read.
@SocialElite82 read? Read? 😅 what are we in the 90's? Lol
In the words of the Great GZA. Make what you gotta say half short and twice 💪🏾 strong
@@otbhs3646 Reading is fundamental. This is also 1 of several snippets from his interview that you can also read. Reading will never go out of style.😂
The printed interview isn’t that long…Not much more said than what’s in the video.
Beautifully stated👏🏽💯🤴🏾..
One of the best touch the mic. Ever.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOU HAVE JUST HEARD FROM THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF OUR TIME WE SHOULD CALL HIM NAS ALI
NAS BUMAYE!
Always stayed true. My guy! I love how he loves his people and his craft!
Thanks for the interview but it would of been great if it was longer
Maybe it's just a snippet.
Great quote " I want to hear their art" from my generation. I can't wait to hear more from NAS and his peers from his generation.
Thank you Nas for All you have done and are doing and for every word you allowed us to hear. There's definitely a Gold Mine inside your mind. I give you the upmost Respect for your enormous contribution to our lives. . And To Hip Hop music. You are an amazing business man. When your "Job" becomes a hobby it's no longer Work, I'm super delighted to hear your having so much fun. Big shout out to Hit, Thanks 👍🏿. Everything Nas just said Is agreed upon unanimously. Peace KING
