Before NAS “Got Himself A Gun”
BEFORE NAS had eight consecutive platinum and multi-platinum albums with over 25 million records sold.
BEFORE Nasir Jones collaborated with Lauryn Hill, P Diddy, Damian Marley, Missy Elliot, the Game, Ludacris, R Kelly, Mariah Carey and J Lo.
Before Nas long-standing fued with Jay Z would make rap history, inspiring dis track after track.
Before Nas would cause controversy by playing a memorial concert at Virginia Tech after the shootings, causing Bill O'Reilly to denounce his violent ‘gangster rap lyrics’.
Nasir Jones grew up in the rough projects of Queens New York. His parents divorced when he was 12 and soon after he dropped out of school in grade 8. But he had a thirst for knowledge and began reading about different cultures and religions. His high literacy level and poetry caught the attention of those on the hip hop scene enough so that he gave up on school in grade 9. He was involved in gag culture but a bigger passion burned for his passion in music. He came up in the east coast scene amongst rap legends notorious BIG and Jay z, but when biggie was killed in 97, it lead to a battle for the throne between him and Jay Z, becoming one of the greatest feuds in rap history - it's been widely disputed but the word whispered was that “Nas One”
Hey guys, whats going on? My name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life of NAS here for you on Before They Were Famous. Let us know who is next?

And everybody agrees Illmatic is the best album of all time you should've said that too
truuuuuuuu
Definitely
No its not.
+Mitchell Lawrence
what is then?
+50 percent There ain't one. And if there were .... This wouldn't be it.
The best rapper ever to touch the mic.
The best rapper to ever touch the mic is Trinidad James... NO question..
J. Silva Capital STEEZ.
Capital Steez what? Lol
you said the best to touch the mic. in my personal opinion STEEZ is the GOAT.
steelo is dope but nowhere near nas
Nas is better than Jay Z
Let's make that sound more factual by saying "MORE LYRICAL" than Jay-Z.
no, he is better in every aspect, fuck jay z
FaKeKryniK Every aspect as far as??
teewhaay everything a rapper needs? do you need everything with a spoon?
FaKeKryniK You mean as far as just rapping??
Shitting on people's name, it ain't hard to tell.
He don't excel
HOW THE BEEF STARTED WITH JAYZ AND NAS
Jay was trying to link up with Nas for some tracks on his first album, Nas ignored him
JayZ sampled Nas' The world is yours’ for Dead Presidents
Memphis Bleek (Jay's protege) started throwing jabs at Nas in the late 90s
Jay dissed Nas during a performance at Summer Jam
Nas- H To The OMO
JayZ- Takeover
Nas- Ether
JayZ- Supa Ugly
Nas- Last Real Nigga Alive
They make up a few years later and release songs together
There are a lot more details but you can just google the full thing
Thanks
Prisual Jay Z's song Blueprint 2 also touches on issues concerning Nas so that should be on your list. You people need to do proper research.
Prisual I love you
I'm from Queens NY. I knew all this shit already, but for the sake authenticity and proper research, good job homie.
Jason King I was born on long Island N.Y but I was raised in Brooklyn homie.
Before I watch this, I just want to say that Nas deserves a 2 hour documentary of this. But anyway.....Popcorn!!!
CaDymuZik you should check out "Time Is Illmatic" a doc about illmatic.
He deserves a biopic
Time is illmatic. That’s what you all need
Last Real Nigga Alive that's official
yup
The Game and Fitty doe?
I´m in fucking tears "papa is a playa" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Raptor 3698 EMINEM
This wasn't a before Nas was famous, it's a Nas biography. Still damn good but not titled correctly
+Jay Moor all he just did was recite what is already out there.
Rakim, Cormega, Kelis, Amerie... all names butchered.
JRPiff212 Straight butchered!!!
right lol dude said Live at the BBQ like nas LIVED there lol when it should be pronounced like when you here the word ALIVE
Shareeva Corey Yep, I'm sure if Nas lived at the BBQ he'd be much bigger.
Today we are going to talk about Nose
Ruh-keem, uh-kim-yell
Take this L for "Rakeem"
Lmao
+niggalo smh and "Cormega." But mainly Rakim lol
Smh
nuhseer
rukeem
cermega
lol
+niggalo Lmaaaoo nigga said "Live @ the BarBQ" like it was a project's name
surprised he didn't say "Jazzy" instead of "Jay-Z"
Hahaha
If jay wasn’t a household name I’m sure that’s the only reason
Nas is hella slepted on. My friends and i listen 2 classic hip hop and outta all of em only 2 of us kno who Nasty Nas is
I respect that. Young dudes, even in NYC, don't appreciate the classics they was probably conceived to. Smfh
Teach the others about NaS. They could use some of his wisdom in their lives I think.
the mispronunciation of names is cringe worthy. the attempt to pronounce kelis made me stop the video right there. thanks for the effort but if your gonna continue to do hip hop facts type videoS, be a fan atleast.
Lmao facts!
"oolah dara"
+loktoppoppins lmaooooooo
+loktoppoppins RAKEEM!
nismo510 trust me, i just dont understand.
about fucking time

ikr
+Hexton steel lol
no shit...
Right?? Bajesus
Jay Z most overrated rapper of all time.
Nas most underrated rapper of all time.
Kyle Langford kayne is the most overrated
Kyle Langford hes multiplatnum.. how can you say hes jnder rated lol multimillion dollar life with world renoun not good enougb for ya? :p
Andrew Paul Because people who don't know good music (Majority of people) value club bangers rather than skilled lyricism. That's why the West Coast dominated the Early 90s, and why people favor Jay over others and majority of people (who once again don't know anything about music) don't know anything about Canibus, Big L, Rakim, KRS-One etc.
black thought, mf doom, k-rino, az, e-40, masta ace, Keith Murray are underrated imo
Kyle Langford that's real
Honestly Nas was the best to ever do it in hip hop and his lyricism for his age then was wayyy ahead for his time
The greatest to ever do it.
Facts
True
W
💯
For Real
you need to put some respek on these names when you're pronouncing them. I'm not going to say it no moe!
rolly moe
Omg i thought I was the only one thank you!!!!
yeah he violated lol
Illmatic changed my view on hip hop forever. Such a classic album. "Life's a B" "World is Yours" "NY State of Mind" can't pick a fav :'s
+mrm64 production on Represent will always be my favourite! Lyrically not the best, but that beat is bananas.. 2nd favourite can't be picked that shit is straight flawless and timeless
He just mispronounces everybody name
EVERY DAMN TIME....lol... It's aggravating as hell but I can't front a lot of his research is pretty solid
"Marley Mar"
Ikr its Kelis and Aaaaamerie
he a white dude
i swear to god this man so white. he messes up rappers' names/songs in almost every video.
Mista Twista typical ass white boy! 😂
@@paulmurillo5380 he didn't do his research
Also he's fucking up everyone's name badly.
Corrections
1 Its Marley Marl not “Mar”
2 Rakim is pronounced Ra' KIM not Rakeem
3 Its Akinyele (pronounced Ah kin nelly) not akinyell
4 Its Joe Fatal not Fatal
5 It's live (rhymes with hive) at the bbq not "live" at the bbq
6 It isn't 16 bars that Nas has on this song it's 26 bars
7 Jay Z and Nas publicly known rap beef didn’t begin the same year Biggie died (1997), it came out in the open in 2001, But it had been going on likely since Nas threw the first jab in 99.
8. Kelis is pronounced Kell leese not Kellis.
Exactly!!
Erfbgu 2 well jay thru the first shot at nas on hard knock life in 98 but everything else👌🏾
The Akinyele one 😂😂
Thanx for your Service
Dude but cmon give him credit he had to say all that
Nas is a legend.
Jay Z before they were eithered
P Diddy L for killing 2pac
P Diddy hahahahah 😂😂😂😂
P Diddy why isn't this the best comment on this video?
Do Wu-Tang clan!!!!!
Yass
There's no place to hide when I step inside
+Roberto de l-a Bistriţa How much time do you have. That's going to be a Hour video. LOL
Hell yeah. I wanna see Wu- Tang & Mc Guru
yea good idea
Rakim pronounced Rah-Kim. You can't live at the BBQ darling..... Kelis pronounced Kah- Lease. Please do more research.
You caught a bunch of mistakes lol. I'm wondering when he showed a picture of Fatal from the Outlawz was that the right Fatal? I'm going to check if that's the same fatal.
Nope he put a picture of Hussein Fatal instead of Joe Fatal lol.
He also said he went platinum off of singles Street Dreams and Head over Heels which wasn't a Nas single, that was Allure's song.
Honey he was all the way off on a lot. I appreciate his effort though :]
hey now ;]
OMG OMG PLEASE DO BIG L BIG L IS WHO MADE JAYZ NAS WAS SHOOK OF BIG L BIG L IS THE BEST RAPPER BIG L IS A FUCKING GENIUS JAYZ WAS JELLY OF BIG L PLS BIG L MY FREN
+Badass we did Big L already

Yeah, nas was shook haha.. that was surprising to me.
He also pronounce Kelis' name wrong... SMH

I loved “Stillmatic “ kept it on repeat 🔂
one word to describe nas: GOAT
The Mute if your calling Nas gay don't talk about your Dad
Some of you didn't know this but Nas also dissed Eminem back in the early 2000s when Eminem decided to be a part of a beef between Jay-Z and Nas in 2001 it lasted about 7 or 8 years from 1997-2004 or 2005.
This dude just butchered damn near everyones name. But He said it like he just knew he was right. BTW Nas was born in Brooklyn
lmao
"Rakeem"? WTF?!! smmfh
Oswald Bates its pronounced that way just khalid is khleed really
@ No its not its pronounced Rah-kim
NAS can be described in one word... GOAT
The nanny goat😂
Nas is the g.o.a.t PERIOD
Please do Mobb Deep
My dad knows him from New York When they were children
Illmatic is still one of the best albums ever made.
One of the best rappers of all time. waiting forever for this one.
He was actually born in Brooklyn and moved to the Queensbridge projects in Queens at a young age. So he reps Queens because he grew up there, but was born in Brooklyn
Immortal technique
💯
super underrated man.
plz
Well after doing Nas you gotta do Mobb Deep they also have a great story.
Nas>tupac and biggie
Thank you
Jirrell Johnson its not debatable.
Jirrell Johnson tupac biggie and nas were gods fuck jay z
Jirrell Johnson only biggie
nas is gods son atleast the son of hiphop
YEESSSS. MY FAVORITE RAPPER!!!
Yah boyy!

Nas still going hard, a divine leader
The reason I picked up a pen and pad in the first place ...goat is my only way of describing Nas....
Nujabes - Before they were dead please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob S. you must've not been to the bridge in sometime. Lmfao can you say gentrified?
Wise Dmc yeah that's what I've heard, all the neighborhoods have been gentrified, Bronx and Manhattan too I guess idk actually I never been to NY myself Lol
"if you cant beat them, own them" Savage
Rakim is pronounced Rock-Kim
+JediMindTricks183 And it's Marley MARL not MAR, & It's Akinyele pronounced AHK-IN-EL-EE. Michael seriously butchered some names in this one..
Kelis, is pronounced Ka Lease. Amerie, is pronounced A marie
I’m sure he meant live at the bbq not Live at the bbq lol get it
Live too!
"Rock-Kim"😂
Nas after they were famous!
+CLAWZ CLAWZ Yeeee
+CLAWZ CLAWZ Oh, you mean talking about all of his charity organizations, works in the black community, and his influence in regards to being one of the favorite rappers of more than a few of today's current hottest rappers? Yea...that would be dope.
Syncere Bethea
dude, I know nas is still famous. but he is not as famous as he was. all the things you just said would go in the video I recommended. For example, dr dre after they were famous. After he made all those famous albums. he sponsored beats. even though dr dre is still very famous, he is not as famous as he was.
+CLAWZ CLAWZ I feel what you're saying bro
+Syncere Bethea thank you

rah-kim

Niall Smith with Eminem
BonziBuddy L
BonziBuddy Eminem is not trash. You need to truly listen to his music instead of speaking about something you don't know.
Didn't realize how shitty Canadian accents were😂😂😂😂
According to this dude Nas resided at the BBQ and JJ Evans was a character from "Good Times in Cigarette Company."
nas look like he been depressed his whole life
Yo son where live there N tell me you wouldn't b its straight he'll n I want out
The life of a King is rough

+Darksaviuor yea rakim isn't dead. Guru is dead, but not rakim
Rip Guru... six years only a couple days ago
Na cos he said Raquim. And I don't know a rapper named that
Fucking yes....Nas is amazing
I remember in '94 my dumb ass let my classmate borrow my Nas "It Ain't Hard to Tell" single cassette tape. Never got my shit back!!!!!
Nature was also on the firm. One of the most underrated.
R.I.P. Ill Will I think you didn't say that.
Nas holds my favorite song of all time... If I Ruled the World
For me it’s world is yours
Kelisssss? Rakeeem? Are you fucking kidding? Do your research
DMX I've recommended this so many times

Nas is the GOAT. Undisputed.
Bishop Nehru before they were famous
Yes!
Yes
He's not really famous yet. Yes he has quite a big fan base but he's not really that known.
He aint mainstream yet💀
+Jayden Encarnacion eww wtf hes ass
Do a video where you pronounce folk's names properly man!
Word is bond 💯
Nas is so underrated.
Do Phife Dawg Before They Were Dead
He mis pronounced so many names in this I'm shocked he didn't mis pronounce nas name and didn't call him NAS (NASA without the A).
my dude merciful standing to nas' right while he kicking live at the bbq...how time flies
top 5 greatest rapper of all time.
+Caesar R Nas is top 3 imo
Jared Hutchins hell nah
Allen iverson before they were famous
A badass lmao
"Live at the bbq" and Re-kim....wtf!! He was strait clowing
come one, let be honest Nas aint got no Rivals. Jay had some good tracks but Nas is King.
Does he mean rakim? Cuz idk who rakeem is
+CalPaxin And he said Rakim was dead, smh
dude butchered a lot of names in this one
NicScarfo Yeah I had to double check if Rakim was alive on Wikipedia because this has been a rough month for celebrities, lol
+CalPaxin the name ''Rakim'' is pronounced ''Rah-Keem'' in arabic so no he didn't.
Black A
See that's my point: ''anymore''. That is how you formally pronounce it. So the dude didn't butcher the name.
Nas cooked Jay-Z.He is probably greatest MC of all time and just because of ILL-Matic.
It's "Live At The BBQ" as in NBA Live
The greatest rapper of all time for me
