@@lazarorodriguez5161The best thing about the 90s is all the artist had their only unique style and beats. Today everybody sounds the same and uses the same producer. I remember the first time hearing Johnny Blaze with Nas, Big Pun, and Jadakiss on the same track. You don't get that type of collab with the record labels and artist egos these days.
Man Nas has really kept his words to this day and hasn’t changed anything neither what he stands for nor his his looks whilst others are going from low hair cuts to dreads and vice verse yet people can open their eyes wide to recognize such a great personality
Tracks like NY State of Mind part 2, Favor for a Favor, We will Survive, Life is what you make it, Ghetto Prisoners, You wont see me tonight, Nas is Like, Money is my Bitch, Undying Love, K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Nas was speaking the truth 99' 11:40-11:51 in 2019 everybody sounds the same wash up lyrics with no originality that why I don't listen to new school music period.
I used to think the same way but there are actually some good newer artist out there. Whether mainstream or underground they're's still some talent out there, you just gotta look. If you want i can give some recommendations to save you some time?

I actually was a kid when this interview was on Rap City and was so mad I missed I actually became a bigger fan. He was this enigma in rap that was the best rapper but radio determined in middle school who the best was. So Nas was left out of the Pac, Biggie, Tribe, Wu and Fugees debates. Once It Was Written dropped it was over.

Salute to all that Reads this and like this comment and leave a comment if u feel me CORE..Nyc..EastCoast Tri State #Connecticut #Jersey
It always got me how Nas everyday conversation vocabulary is grade school level to his rapping vocab. This brother sound dumb when he speak but his lyricism is some of the best.
Understand you but don't agree. He has a very street and NY sounding voice so, his vocab to this day on 2020 is not reached by no artist. Not even the 1st and only GOAT 2pac. Basic vocab is necessary when speaking to someone who wont be able to comprehend. A lyrical mastermind speaking to simpletons.
@@bunshairy8507Pac was good but became highly overrated in death.. Many Greater Sharper Advanced Complexed Skilled Vocab, Wordplay Rhyming Lyrical Emcees than pac.
It's funny to see now as I was a young man articulate yourself he's always been good at it even if it's rhymes a lot of this young rappers right now they're very bad very very bad at interviews even talking even speaking
Damn I really miss the 90's it's a feeling that's hard to explain.Just felt like everything was lined up perfectly during that time.

Authenticity mattered!
90s greatest music genre ever
I remember this day nas actually gave me a copy of I am and told me to play it everywhere I go
So Obessed Lives How Effect Yoy
He D
Think He Suburban Be Nice Jnow Hood Give
No way lol
timmy ol tool it’s very true there’s no reason for me to lie about that i gain nothing from it.
One of the best emcees ever 💯 Nas is a true lyricist.
99 was not only a different era but a whole different planet! We lost it since then, that magic is gone.
Man Nas has really kept his words to this day and hasn’t changed anything neither what he stands for nor his his looks whilst others are going from low hair cuts to dreads and vice verse yet people can open their eyes wide to recognize such a great personality
That part about the hair aged bad
Something so special about 1999
'98 was fire too
96 was kinda official too !!
Fuck it the whole 90's !!!!!!!
I was born dats t
Last official year
I always like joe interview skills., he always let his guest speak they mind., he ask them a question and let them explain
Not bad at all. Good questions too
Nas did an awesome job in Belly and X too
1999 one of the best years of my life. I was 19. Had my first car. Bumped I Am and Memphis Bleek album all summer in the wheel
Damn bro I was 18 and bumped the same 2 albums 💯
Don’t forget Mob Deep, Nore, DMX, Vinncity Ja rule album 1999, and Jay Z
Tracks like NY State of Mind part 2, Favor for a Favor, We will Survive, Life is what you make it, Ghetto Prisoners, You wont see me tonight, Nas is Like, Money is my Bitch, Undying Love, K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Jay Vol.3 life and times was cocaine

Lol yup you can tell son never liked the media ish
Rap legends are a dime a dozen. I can literally rattle off 50 without any effort. But some of these guys touch a nerve. Nas is one of those.

Still my favorite Nas album, CRIMINALLY underrated album right there. Hate whenever they only bring up Illmatic in interviews nowadays
Dang with the Lex coupe 🙆♂️🔥 throw back
That's why it's always important to educate yourself especially in the art that you're doing
Nas curved Joe on that handshake 😂
