- Friday, April 19, makes 25 years since Nas' debut album, Illmatic, was released. To celebrate the quarter-century mark, Mass Appeal and Hennessy will be paying homage to "The Architects of Illmatic" with exclusive interviews featuring photographers, producers, writers and members of Nas' inner circle, including Pete Rock, the subject of today's clip and the producer of one of the LP's "signature" songs, "The World Is Yours." The legendary producer remembers back to when he first heard the lyrics of the classic record. "Your heart just... you just feel it for him. This guy is ahead of his time." Welcome to #IllmaticXXV Week.

exactly bro
Will you be doing other albums?
Love y'all!
@@samrose3205 probably not, after all, Nas is signed with Mass Appeal.
REVOLUTIONARY
no doubt .... before I'd ever visited NY, Nas made me feel like I've already walked those blocks & rode the trains
2KGrind09 word. His lyricism and imagery is fierce
Facts. My first time in New York was just 2 weeks ago and it's exactly as Nas described it to be. Exactly as I pictured it be. Nas made me love NYC and I plan to live there someday. One Love 💯
@Marvin Bennett WuTang as well... kool G rap is another, of course Rakim is it! Itz so many....but Nas it was so different but yet vivid. Perfect gumbo
@Marvin Bennett I live @ E 183rd & the grand concourse.☺
Pete Rock, Premo, Large Pro, Q-Tip gods among producers.
Falcon 84 Rick Ruben too
No doubt! Premo alone is on three Hip Hop classic debut albums. Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt and Ready to Die. That must feel amazing
J Dilla
@Technews Madlib, 9th Wonder, Rami Salaam...
@Technews gza aint a producer. He one of the goat MCs tho. I agree with the rest of what youre saying. Dilla stands lonely at the top when it comes to beats and I absolutely consider all of these legends to be incredible producers.
Was blessed to be in high school when that album dropped. Had the tape on repeat for at least a month. Sony Walkman bass boost style.
You just made me Time Travel with the bass boos @Verbfomarizona
Hell yeah! I share your exact same story, brutha! I did the exact same!
Verbfromarizona Hip Hop/Boom Bap/Beats/FOR SALE...WORD. It was like hearing something that was a theological breakdown of that concrete jungle Nas found his way out of. So descriptive...subjective AND objective at the same time. I’m an old nerdy white dude, but Nas conveyed and constructed life on those blocks so schematically and precisely...that one can almost smell the air and feel the tension. In my top 3 of all time.
The three GOAT's of the Golden Era of Hip Hop...
Pete Rock
Large Professor
DJ Premier
Without these main three Producers & a host of others, Hip Hop as "WE" ( And the "WE" knows who they are) know it would not be what it is right now!! Along with Nas & other notable lyrical talents, REAL Hip Hop truly LIVES!! It even made me venture into the foray of production!! That's the profound affect it had on me!! Thank all of you for Illmatic, a Hip Hop foundational cornerstone!!
Gotta throw Q Tip in there too. “One Love” was bananas not to mention his own work with Tribe plus his work on Mobb Deep’s The Infamous (“Gove Up The Goods”, Temperature’s Rising”, Drink Away The Pain”). Also his remix of Nas’s “The World Is Yours”.
He's the sound of new york ...the god know he Mr illmatic...for real
Illmatic Stillmatic still stand the test of time🙏🏾💎.
Pete Rock beat for Rather Unique is one of my favs
Word to mother
R.I.P. Keith "Guru" Elam
July 17, 1961 - April 19, 2010
"I thought you was gonna play w my frog"😂.....I love that movie
Damn, your handle brought back some memories!
ILLMATIC WAS AHEAD OF TIME....NAS IS BRILLIANT...COLLABS ARE BRILLIANT
'The World is Yours' was the best song on the album IMO.
Yup. That album was insane
I still get amped every time this time of year comes. April 19, 1994 forever changed the way I heard music. And The World Is Yours was the apex of it all
April 19 sadly remind me of guru death though
Nas performance in DC was awesome too see wish I could of been there too see the Illmatic One perform.
Pete Rock is a damn legend of this genre. I want that cap from the video badly tho.
Legendary producers 🔥🔥🔥Peace to Nasty Nas 🔥🔥🔥
May Illmatic live reign forever
Still BANGING this album... "The World Is Yours" Pete Rock cuts this track to shreds on the beat break. "There's no days for broke days, when sellin smoke pays, while all the old folks pray to Jesus soaking their sins in trays, of Holy water, odds against Nas' slaughter. Thinkin a word best describing my life to name my daughter" STELLAR!
Masego Flames that line is crazy considering he named his daughter Destiny
Indeed it is galore!
I laugh when people say "x new rapper is a lyricist", especially when they say they're in the vein of Nas. It's such bullshit.
What can you say,give Nas roses while he is here,not only is he my favorite Mc but as a lyricist myself i always said he is not the goat he's more like an alien or a LION of goats 2pac Nas my top two Poetz Nas is STILLMATIC!
S/O to da God Pete Rock!!.....I jus hung both of my NAS Illmatic Albums up!....Live frm the Kennedy Center!.....& the Classic LP....
that scene from Wild StYle for the intro meant everything to me yo’ ....& when that snare kicked in from the Subway theme from the soundtrack🤦🏽♂️psssssssssh yo’!!
That sound was deep when I first heard it in the early eighties,hip hop culture forever 2019 an beyond
Great interview Mass Appeal. Now get Pete Rock to do a rhythm roulette challenge.
Illmatic Iz the Greatest HipHop record of All-Time
Greatest hip hop album ever made, hands down
One of my fav producers of all time🔥🔥🔥
26 years on and the story still lives, as it rightfully should.
Nas and Hip-Hop are synonymous. Period. All the way down to the year of their births. That isn’t mere coincidence. Nas was meant for this. 🙌🏻 PR encapsulated it perfectly.
Pete Rock is the King of remix's
Classic is an understatement! Salute to PR!
Thank you for producing „the world is yours“
Ive been feeling connected to this mans music a lot lately, my job plays petes music, and saw a drink champs interview with him and premier, thanks for the music pete and Nas!!
Still One Of The Greatest Producers Of All Time!!! “Illmatic” One Of The Greatest Albums Of All Time!!! Not just Hip Hop...
Dope!
"we didn't know until it hit people" Pete Rock - 2019 , shows you how spoilt for quality and choice people were who were into hip hop at that time, all these tracks comin out and some were missed for the gold that they are, one good thing comin out of internet age, we get to remember these tracks from back in the day, and others like the Buckwild's and the Finnesses, and the Pete Rocks...for years to come, we can say we were there when that dropped, youngsters can say we know our history, now we know what we're listening to when a new pete rock track drops.
this give me chills all rep for pete!!! bless
Love you pete
my favourite producer
CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This past weekend I was on the metro in the DMV area listening to some "Illmatic" and "Life Is Good" during the late evening - train rockin'. Def was in that mood to just reflect on life in general. It puts u in that certain element to absorb everything and just catch a real vibe.
This is one of dudes if I ever made it big that I wanted to produce a record or even a album! So smooth and uncanny at the same time with his style! Peace!
It’s still incredible to me how great Illmatic is. I had low expectations for it before I ever heard the album. Wasn’t that big on Nas at the time. But when I finally bought that album and gave it a shot finally, it just blew my mind when I heard it. I went crazy. Knew it then that it was the greatest hip hop album ever. No album ever did that to me. Peace to Nas and all the great producers on it. #HipHop
This song is one of my absolute favorite songs ever.And I couldn’t picture it without Rock on the hook
Nas o verdadeiro one Love for hip hop producer Peter Rock straight from África come here one day tô sing for us we Love everithing u do since day one.Força!
Pete Rock=Legend
Finally mass appeal puts up a video worth watching!
Salute to the legend Pete Rock. 914 all day money earning mt Vernon
What rapper do you know has performed their entire album with the national symphony orchestra? I’ll wait....
King of rap, king of hip hop: Nasir Jones
THE GREATEST
Best album in history
koji sam ja,baj d vej,iz svog dzepa platio,da bero jelinicu,jer smo puni ko brod
@@skoveche2k Hahaha Mamić u elementu
GENIUS
Illmatic: The GOAT rap album
Wow I never knew Pete Rock did the chorus on there. It sounds great. Legendary track
With all due respect just out of curiosity. Who did you think was doing the hook?
@@sinematic06 I thought it was just some random dude Nas was running with. Never looked into it
Joey Brickz oh ok have you ever seen the video?
. ..🤔 I want to know how T La Rock feels about being part of such a dope song
ie sampled his voice ... although it’s only two words, they are 2 critical thundering words that fit perfectly on the song for the breakdown-scratch part .... and to me ,the scratches are perfect !! PEACE to you Pete Rock 🙏🏽💪🏽!!!
This is one of those timeless jawns’ !!!
The T La Rock joint was my absolute favorite song from age 8. Then the Nas joint hit when I was 17...
Man, i grew up in an amazing era...
Yes the world is yours
The God!!!
LOVE
I wouldn’t have started producing if it wasn’t for Pete Rock. I’m only 16, but I already know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
What software you use??
Jacoby Smith I use Ableton
So Do I
now this is the content we want
Classic
PR, Soul Brotha #1! Met him in Milwaukee, awesome dude! #Salute
RESPECT FROM POLAND
May Illmatic never Rest in Peace
"Biggie's Ready to Die album came out several months after Illmatic, and Biggie was crowned king of New York in the popular culture of Hip Hop heads, Ready to Die unfairly over-shadowed Illmatic, which is truly a classic album. Though they were quite distinct artists, they innovated in analogous ways. Biggie merged language that was high and low, vernacular and vocabulary words, in a way that sounded natural. He did this with a sophisticated understanding of the patterns of black language. When a different or unusual word or phrase could be introduced while still maintaining the aesthetics of black language, he inserted it.
NaS, in contrast, merged concepts that were high and low, vernacular and metaphysical, in a manner that was whole rather than pieced together, thus presenting a complex that is unusual in any music outside of jazz. What Biggie started to do with language in 1994, NaS had already begun to do with ideas on Illmatic. He carries us through the "Righteous steps" of the cosmic, oceanic, and literal dimensions of his person. He transcends." - Imany Perry (Born To Use Mics)
LEGENDARY
Illmatic is to rap what Kind of Blue is to jazz.

JL BREMER worrrrrrrrrd Sept2nd son !
pete no asking for checks from 94 cmon,that album make serious money!!!!! music is music but bussines side of it,you must have knowledge!!!!!
yo where do I get the orchestra version 😭😩
Extra surreal when you hear it slap with timpani; check the bluetooth smile
Just a lil nigga from the project hallway 💯
They could get back together and make another classic Nas album but they are scared if they could do it again to the same level of greatness. I bet they could,
tompparaideri no they can't
they never could get back on this level i believe but if they tapped into that mindset they could make something 90s classic tier
808 I know Premier is still just as good as he was in 94, So is Q-Tip just listen to the latest Tribe album. Nas has made killer songs lately, Pete could rise to the occasion. They shouldn’t replicate illmatic but i’m pretty sure it would be one of the best hip-hop albums ever made. Wu-Tang Clan could do the same to if RZA would go back to the grimey sound and every member was really on board.
#MTVERNON
That's TRUE Hip-Hop right there...I can't support these new ones out here with the same generic beats/structures and ABC lyrics/repeats...this is CLASS ACT right here...
Who attended a show for the 20th anniversary tour?✋🏽
WHERE IS RHYTHM ROULETTE WITH HIM??!?!?!?!
What 10 people didn’t like this? Stay away from them.
If you don’t know who Pete Rock is, you’ve been living under one.
the 11 losers who thumbed this down, put the mossberg in your mouth and do the lords work. #illmatic #nas the GOAT
Nasir is a gOD
I'm a producer looking for lyrical artists to work with. HMU
Well I'm a lyrical artists who have been looking for a excellent producer for years. I want to bring back boom bap and storytelling...seriously..if you're serious..reach out to me
@@martinstaton1240 same here, let's work. I'm really looking to make a few dope tracks. Subscribe to my channel when you get a chance and check out the beat I have called Jezebel and let me know if you are interested in dropping a story to that
martin staton Where can I hear your stuff brother?
Well Cappah...i have nothing up. Because of the doubt I carried from others saying that I'm not good. Because I love storytelling and the ones that judged me love this hip hop of nowadays. I'm 34 ... I love 90s and late 80s hip hop..sad thing is they are my age..but I will give you something that I'm writing..hope you like this.
"Surface surrounded by culture vultures its astounding
How one can make music feel hounded
Im pounding my fist in disbelief that this very thing exists
The this is "mockery" made sovereignty until its bliss
Exit out well men and women
Children prevail
Targeted cause markets in open chose whose to fail
So fall back dont fall on
All of my people stay strong
Cause nowadays rights are switched and called wrongs
We do sing the same song
But cling unto
Difference of view
Yours be the money
Mines be the true
Only a few get it while whispers towards the ignorance
Becomes amplified and sampled as a mimic
"Who are you kidding" as one responded
My response back was "we are creating monsters" I pondered
Tooken for granted on this daily planet
Respect I do demand it
Victory in health form not weak and famined
And you can cannit with" the think I can't"
I only build maturity not foolery within every rank
So no thanks towards your handouts
I truly know what im about
God put me on earth to be a standout"
Get back with me and you tell me what you think
