Thank you for one of the greatest moment in music history! I could pay everything to live this. 7:04 N.Y. State Of Mind 12:44 Life's A Bitch 17:05 The World Is Yours 24:54 Halftime 30:40 Memory Lane 35:35 One Love 37:38 Represent 42:00 One Time 4 Your Time 46:17 It Ain't Hard To Tell Only writing this list gave me goosbumps...damn
I personally think... This is how nas should perform on every stage... With the symphony... His music is classic.... It should portrayed in classical way on every stage with an ochestra
Thebe Tech@ I'm down with u, you Nas fan u family to me' I'm in PTA, we need to push the culture forward... Greatest rapper ever. Delivery, sylabals, flow & content.
Nas is a musician,a trickster a rap composer who brokers his rhymes to bring the unearthly...down to earth in a grand fashion ez just incomparable....unequitable
If you haven't got any goosebumps listening to this! True Hip Hop isn't in yojr blood and soul. Felt it for each song especially for The World Is Yours! GOD DAM! NAS MADE IT!
Almost cried?... I was in the building with actual tears streaming down my face. About to catch the 30th Anniversary on Sunday, 7/21 in VA at Wolf Trap and he's backed by the NSO again. ... DOPE!!!
It's so refreshing to hear an MC just rhyming clearly on his own, without some shitty hype man / entourage shouting and joining in over the end of each line.
This is just astonishing! I never expected illmatic could be improved, but this is actually fairly close... I am truly thankful for whomever "orchestrated" this. I hope they create more!
It was done by the guy on the drums - Tim Davies, the guy with the glasses on. He arranges and conducts for many films and leads his own jazz big band and has his own music that blends hip hop, rock and jazz. He also worked with Aloe Blacc and Kendrick Lamar.
Was this lyrically also one of nas' best performances on tape ever? Ive never heard him this crisp. Only misses a few rhymes, and god knows he did that shit a lot in his earlier live performances. Hes coming to europe this summer and Im seeing him for my only second time. Hope hes in this shape!
It's hard to express using words how good and outstanding this live performance is, damn I feel blessed what a great time to be alive, thanks nasty Nas and everyone who worked on this project, much love ❤️
If I ruled the world, I would have that in my living room, sit back on my lounge now just tell em to play all my favourite nas tracks.. Hip hop is a living organism now it's growing now gonna take over the planet..
Damn. Tear drop from my eye on last song......good old days :) Just memories with friends that are gone... Thank you from Slovakia! Wish he came here to do such a concert some day !
Can’t believe I’m mentioning this, but: shut up Lonzo(?) Ball. Watch this and be humbled. Stay in YOUR lane. Don’t talk shit and don’t talk SHIT about Nas. You represent nothing but bad manners, this man represents all of this.

Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

The Classiest Shit in Hip Hop History
better than a GRAMMY
Nothing compares to this Master classic concert
@@abdulhakimabdela2716 I concur!
The orchestra and nas dangerous assassins on the scene all but love from Kenya 🇰🇪to the GOAT 🐐 🔥🔥🔥🔥
From South Africa, mad respect to Nas!
Thebe Tech@ I'm down with u, you Nas fan u family to me' I'm in PTA, we need to push the culture forward... Greatest rapper ever. Delivery, sylabals, flow & content.
From Finland as well!
I'm with you this is so classic,I dont get enough of Nas.
@@ncedisilekafile7557 you and me both
From Ghana 🇬🇭 n I personally think nas is the greatest to ever bless the mic 🎤
best feeling is to work your whole life in the symphony and finally gettin the Nas gig... hahaha
It Was Written Next. That's such a classic album.
It Was Written is me favourite hip hop album and its what woke me up to Nas, i was too young when Illmatic came out and did not understand the lyrics.
This is epic its like reopening the illmatic tape back in 94
shittt im still looking for a tape
Nas is a musician,a trickster a rap composer who brokers his rhymes to bring the unearthly...down to earth in a grand fashion ez just incomparable....unequitable
This version of It ain't hard to tell gave me goosebumps ...so iconic and out of this world . The violins and the flute are so magistral .
Rakim backed by an orchestra would really be Dope.
Damn! All rap should be played like this. Nas lifting the bar too high once again. Orchestra-rap is as of today a genre in music. 😎
thing is music doesnt need generes
He was pretty late to this kanye did this shit in 2006
100% agree. i think some other peoples lyrics won't survive this exposure.
Lets go back... Rap was deamonized..this just solidified how far this genre has reached.. Im so glad as fan to be part of the history
Greatestness Personified!!!!!!!!!! Love You Nas
Nice
Big Respect from Portugal, Nas lyrically its amazing. Illmatic best hip hop Album ever. Love to all
Thursday 9th September 2021 11:35 am GMT...Ghana Accra adenta ashiyie ...just lying in bed listening to NAS with an orchestra
Enjoying good music from Zambia one love. Love your music Nasir Jones, i named my son Nasir but my wife refused😂.
All the way from South Africa, Nas is the GOAT 🐐
If you haven't got any goosebumps listening to this! True Hip Hop isn't in yojr blood and soul. Felt it for each song especially for The World Is Yours! GOD DAM! NAS MADE IT!
Wow, just wow, I was 17 when this dropped and I bought it on cassette ... I remember I played it to death as a kid in Scotland.
coolest thing i've seen on youtube
The world is yours is a legit masterpiece, so haunting, makes me feels like im in the metropolis
I almost cried listening this is way too deep
Almost cried?... I was in the building with actual tears streaming down my face. About to catch the 30th Anniversary on Sunday, 7/21 in VA at Wolf Trap and he's backed by the NSO again. ... DOPE!!!
watching this shit like i was there man, feeling this right here...shit can save your life
It's so refreshing to hear an MC just rhyming clearly on his own, without some shitty hype man / entourage shouting and joining in over the end of each line.
Nas the GOAT🐐
Master of ceremony right there legend
Phenomenal
Amazing
Excellence
U just said it promptly
I'm from Haiti big fan of NAS much respect to him dope mc living legend NAS

Symphony Orchestra and Green Lantern killed it! They all sounded amazing.
IT AINT HARD TO TELL NAS IS THE G.O.A.T.
Thank god they made a symphony for this Prodigy...this is refining the classic to some distant perfection
I've said it before and I'll say it again and again.... Illmatic is the Bible of Rap
It ain't hard to tell was amazing 🙌😊
I was in my element watching this concert.🤯 The orchestra absolutely killed " The World is Yours" 💥💥💥💥Come back to Birmingham UK brother Nas.👊👊👊👊
New York State of Mind...the illmatic anthem 🔥🙌
Was this lyrically also one of nas' best performances on tape ever? Ive never heard him this crisp. Only misses a few rhymes, and god knows he did that shit a lot in his earlier live performances. Hes coming to europe this summer and Im seeing him for my only second time. Hope hes in this shape!

Mwanakomana wa Mwari, much love from Zimbabwe!
I am thankful to have seen this in my lifetime. Mother land South Africa !
Katlego Moticoe@ u family, think we should have that Nas movement in SA. Listening in Pretoria centurion.
I am two years late but what the hell, I'd still re-watch it countless times even if I watched it two years ago.
Nas : True Genius
Lyrics still prevails and realistic!!! Wow
AmazIng just amazing!and the audience was wonderful
Rap has come a long way. It`s something to be proud of.
ULTRA CLASSY!!! My all-time favorite MC!...A Reasonable Doubt set like this would be dope too.
From Tanzania....Nas Forever
Fine as wine + talented ❤🎤
Every track sounds fresh. 🔥 fire 🔥 fire 🔥
This is one of the best things I have ever seen.
If I ruled the world, I would have that in my living room, sit back on my lounge now just tell em to play all my favourite nas tracks.. Hip hop is a living organism now it's growing now gonna take over the planet..
I don’t even know how they dare to compare Jay-z to this guy.
Sofiene El Kebir two different artist, but hip hop is a competitive genre, so comparison is not inevitable
uh... they are very close, if u listen to Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z is definitely on Nas level
Pascal siakam Jay Z got entendres and introduced mafiaso lyricism so no it’s not “way ahead”
man the firm was the dopest shit ever no need to compare them
why not ? it is these comments... I am 100% you didnt even listen to JAY's discography... they are both great both top 3 DOA
I just saw him do this in providence ri , it was absolutely fire!!! Nas is truly half man, half Amazing!
Memory lane always brings me to tears. Reminds me of a better time.
Same here..great track
Memory Lane 🤧🙌
Sick!!!! 💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯
