He has been such an important part of my life, crazy but it's true. I love you Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones, thank you for the poetry, prophecy, and knowledge.
cocoa8194 I feel ya 100%. Nas has definitely inspired and motivated me countless times with his depth, uncompromising commitment to his art, and ability to narrate incredible stories. He's a gift to the culture.
@@abcb1683 After hearing every lyric of Kendrick i must say Kendrick is just repping NWA and trying be different. nothing at all that has to do with maturity. Nas is the most mature mc of all time
What's ill is how most of his music has aged incredibly well. The Street's Disciple album, for instance, sounds so much better now than it did in '04. The Untitled album was 10 years ahead of its time when you look at its content.
Israel Rosario Jr. bruh I was just listening to Streets disciple yesterday thinking the same shit. Like “damn I always thought this was was pretty good....but this shit is 🔥🔥🔥 right now”. Suicide Bounce, Streets Disciple, Sekou Story, Live Now, Nazareth Savage, War, Just A Moment, Thief’s Theme, Rest of My Life, we’re all bangers. Then there’s songs like Getting Married, Remember The Times, Bridging The Gap, and Reason which were somber but enjoyable. Underrated album by his community, though professional critics were more favorable to it than his fans.
@@SageofSorrow 100% cosign. I never thought it was a poor album. I think Nas was just in a stage where he had put out alot of work in a short period of time (Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, God's Son over a 3 yr period) so a double album was probably overkill within that 3-4 year run. But I always thought even back then that it would've been considered a classic had he dialed it down to the best 14-15 songs and arranged them more cohesively. But after listening to it again a couple of months ago, I was like nah, this album was dope just the way he did it. Nas albums are a journey and he was just taking you on one of his longer ones. That album sounds better or as good now as anything that's come out the last 10 years at least IMO. And you should give Untitled a spin too...thats another album that was completely ahead of its time and is fire.
Israel Rosario Jr. yup, and that’s not taking into account the cut content that surely would have made it a classic. Talk of New York, Serious Ft. AZ, Good Morning, Foul Breeze would have made it an epic album.
Nicole Zuriee I am a look alike. I age also like iron bru but it’s the closest you will get to having the man himself. Send me your number let’s make it a date and make sure wherever we meet the light is dim and you wear an eye patch over both eyes as I’m quite shy.
A true humble god in all aspects. He's one of my influences artistically, intellectually, socially, etc. Nasir Jones is my favorite emcee. Thank you for everything Nas, and congratulations on your award!
I dare to say it, Nas in 50 yrs will be on Shakespearean level.I suggest that people check his oeuvre right now.This is greatness living among us right now.
He already is . I seen an one on one interview he did with some college ( I forgot which college it was) and they where actually beeaking down his lyrics from some of his songs.
Grammy? For what? Useless award. For me NAS is too big 4 grammy award just like 2pac , Biggie and rest of legends.I love his music.One of greatest and realest rappers from East Coast. Icon and Symbol of Old Sql East Coast Hip Hop.Very intelligent ,complicated hip hop with some message. I deeply respect that . Huge luv 4 NAS :)
It's majority a white award show, That's why Eminem, Kanye, & Lil Wayne win a lot of them because they produce catchy pop records instead of real hip hop music, which white Americans love.
Nas is one of the greatest MCs of all time, A track like I can, that track is a great message for our youngsters. Nas, you are without a doubt one of my favourite artists in the world, love you brother
when i first listened to ILLMATIC i went mad crazy, mind you at that time i didn't speak a word in English but i liked it, and during the battle with you know who, i had a side at school we even made other students to vote on who was better my guy William was on Jay side this friend of mine acted just like jay unlike me he could also rap He was Jay and I was Nas the saddest part is that i couldn't rhyme, the truth is that Nas won i realy miss those days at school i remember other schoolmates didn't even know nas music most of them knew got you self a gun, oochie wallie, and nas is like but still voted for him, i remember jay was mostly loved and recognized by the rich kids. GOOD TIMES
not wanting a grammy is so nas! he likes being mysterious and quiet but also to him hiphop was always hiphop, not pop, not r+b, not rock+roll. something different that was too rebellious for the mainstream
Nas is at peace,knows he survived as a icon and winning in life.Saw his mural at Queensbridge projects this summer and it's powerful and he deserves his flowers of what he did for hip hop
@@zzz-rn5ki I know it's heavily influenced by nation Islam but that itself is created by masons. There all masons. P diddy, busta rhymes all these people you see in this video
Thank you Africann American for your contribution to the world and the pop culture you have shown us in Africa We respect you We really do appreciate all your efforts and artwork Thanks
Thanks Brother ✊🏾...now we have to work on bridging the gap between AA and Africans! Although most Africans may not know or think this, most AA love Africa and our people and long for that relationship and connection! Peace and Love always!
The Legendary Great Nas. Well deserved we don't care he has no Grammy we love and respect Nas, as one of the greatest of all time. He is one of the artists who taught me so much about life and hip hop culture. Well done Braveheart.
Poise and grace and nasty. The best, and couldn't imagine hip-hop without him. Looking back on 30 years I can see it needed the smooth lyrical intelligent gangsta rapper with morals in the face of overwhelming shallow, materialistic loudmouths. Glad to see brothers supporting and praising brothers. I don't think Nas would have wanted it any other way
Its so crazy to see transformation and greatness come about.. i remember seeing this dude all the time in QB when i was mad little and remember him becoming such a buzz throughout the projects...just hearing people in the hallway talk about him or blasting him on mixes on a boombox before main source ...Salute Nas
Nasir Olu Dara, is # 1 on my top 5 dead or alive. My heart was touched when I first herd the illmatic album. Nas told his story poetry of life growing up in NYC. Every word powerful he gave me the vision of what life was like for him through his eyes. “What good is the art if it doesn’t reflect the times”. (Nina Simone). I was influenced by this amazing humanity and his dedication to his family, friends, community, city. Looking out of my project windows was such an amazing piece of art. Nas is a great poet, lyricist, writer, prophet, influencer, ambassador, revolutionary etc.
Yo Nas u deserve that icon award, because like u said u survived the times, I remember that live at the barbeque verse was I'll ,then u kept writing poetry and venting and battling . I gotta say if there's a vote who's the king of new York, these names hit me Nas Jay Z, so keep being that nigga Nas from Queens bridge still got it rocking for life ☮️
Nas is one of the Greatest MC. He is creative, expressive and versatile. To date the most creative song written is "if I were a gun". To give the gun a voice! What!
thats what i always respected about nas after telling street stories and establishing himself early on as a legendary artist he stayed off the media radar and if anything spoke uplifting positive wise words to encourage the youth. he could have spent his time driving his legacy in any negative direction to this day he keeps our black culture woke.
People dont understand how hard i used to argue in my family’s barbershop about how dope and better than jay, nas was; even tho i am a jay fan too...but i used to go hard arguing about nas in ever corner, in school everywhere lmao i remember just buying my first nas album (it was written) which is my fav albums of all time, then after hearing that, i went and copped illmatic, ever since, i’ve been a die hard nas fan
It aint hard to tell i excel then prevail... Nas thank you for keeping the streets deep rooted in your poetry... noone will ever come close to your art boi nas sir we love you!!!!

Just by music alone...Nas you helped me changed my life in many ways. Thank you snd well deserved.
His whole energy and spirit is what’s attractive it’s not even about his looks even though he is fine it’s beyond physical.
Like he said “summoned from heaven” he’s definitely special! And nice to look at ;)
There is something about him. I truly hope that he’s the same in person as he comes across on camera.
nas is the man i love how he moves in silence
Never brags how real he keep it
Nas was that legend I dug around hip hop and rap for. I still dig around to hear more of his old stuff even now. Timeless.
