Nas has the lyricism of Rakim, the wordplay of Kool G Rap, the awareness of Chuck D, the knowledge of KRSONE, the metaphors of Big Daddy Kane, the storytelling of Slick Rick and the longevity of LL Cool J. He's half man, half amazing.
Nah. He ain't got the lyricism of Rakim or the wordplay of Kool G Rap. But you was right about Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, and LL Cool J. I wanna hear LL Cool J new album to see if he still has the juice like Nas has after all of these decades.
The sample is from the Billy Paul album-Let’ Em In. The song is entitled ‘I Think I’ll Stay Home Today’. Written, produced, arranged, and synthesized by Dexter Wansel.
All 6 albums are dope A.F. there's always gonna be haters and people who are Just looking for attention..Nas is the G.O.A.T .and is not even close. No other rapper has a better catalog than Nas
This song,I Love This Feeling,is going to be a timeless classic It has a Grammy winning potential all over it.I am going to get married to a very beautiful Ethiopian woman ,and we are going to play , Love This Feeling,at our upcoming Wedding. Nas is a outstanding and remarkable lyricist who has endured criticism his entire career and Hitboy is a remarkable and outstanding beatmaker they are making albums that will be timeless classics.
We've never seen a hip hop artist evolve the content of his music with his evolution in real life as he ages, to the level that Nas has, while still making that music sound good.
He was talking about they didn't understand that Al Jarreau of Rap song that he dropped on Lost Tapes 2. He got clowned for that song, but the song ended up in a commercial and he got a million dollars off the song. While most people didn't see his vision, all it took was for 1 person to see the vision and he got a million off of it.
the 50 year old Nas can tell the 25 year old Nas, how are you the prime?? you’re nice and you have a couple of classic albums. But i just did something in 3 years that you couldn’t do in 10 years, and all with great beats
Id love to see a creative track called Nasty vs Escobar track with him flowing both ways. Escobar was little more complex while Nas was more raw and gritty. Street poet
I never really connected how close Nas and J Cole's flows are. My Spotify went from J Cole (can't remember the song) then to one of Nas' new songs came on and I was like "damn"
Glad you all were able to appreciate the substance in this song. Also y’all mentioned the beat in “Never Die” was “ok”….Hit killed it on this song…that sample 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The shock rap line can also be a reference to Nas creating "shock rap" with his "snuffing Jesus" line on his first recorded appearance on "Live at the BBQ" and then he continued to evolve despite how influential those debut bars were-Big L took from that, Eminem took from that, it's even its own genre of hip hop because of those bars. But people don't talk about Nas as being a "shock rapper" because he evolved throughout his career. Now they talk abt him as one of the greats, period.
I think he was talking about Stevie J and Faith Evans 👀 also, the thing “they” didn’t understand was “Al Jarreau of Rap” from the Lost Tapes 2 album. I Gotta admit, I didn’t like it at first either. But when you realize he’s rhume pattern, cadence, and flow is going along to Al Jarreau’s scatting, it really changes how you perceive the song.
Exactly. I was confused at 1st listen, then I listened again and again, now I appreciate that track so much more. Yes he is speaking about Stevie J and Faith Evans.
Magic 2 and three dropped not even six months apart from one another, wow! Love how you guys decipher verses. Should have masters degrees in doing that shit FrFr!
What’s up fellas when Nas said million dollar sync for Al JARREAU OF RAP was the single on lost tapes 2 which everyone did not understand like he said. The mans a straight genius..
Nas is like one of the very few old school artists that I can listen to and enjoy the music...and not just like it becausde of the past luv of the artist....I think older school artist need better production and just rap better and more creative.
“Million Dollar sent for Al Jarreu of Rap (lead single from Lost Tapes 2)”. It was a successful single business wise that received heavy backlash from his fam base
It really is an amazing and difficult song. His rhyming style and cadence are based on Al-Jarrou scattered singing style. The level of difficulty imitating such complex rhyming style is outerwordly, alien level, which is why NaS is the GOAT 🐐.
Chief Keef Gov’t is Keith Cozart Get bags for my old art means owning his masters so Ozark has to pay him for using his music.. illmatic sold over 2 million copies And the bar about the dead man’s girl tell you every thing about that man’s world I think he talking about lil Kim’s ex dude name Damien ‘World’ Hardy.. 👈🏾 not sure thou about these one could be about Stevie J… 🤷🏽♂️ Regardless Nas is Brilliant 💥

The punchlines of Lil Wayne? The Flow of Andre? The Voice of Pac? The internal rhyming of Eminem? The vocabulary of Aesop Rock?

All 6 albums are dope A.F. there's always gonna be haters and people who are Just looking for attention..Nas is the G.O.A.T .and is not even close. No other rapper has a better catalog than Nas
In this song, Nas is preaching to you, but in a way that you can vibe to. He makes aging/maturing sound cool.
Nas is the GOAT 🐐!!!!! Now NAS & AZ need a album.
Nas is a blessing to hip hop
Nas is the goat and it isn't close.
Agreed.
💯🎯
This album is brilliant! Plays out like a movie!
This song,I Love This Feeling,is going to be a timeless classic

Really good review. "I Love This Feeling" is one of my favs on the album
That" old dudes" playing chess line 🔥...Nas the best to ever do it

Nas is amazing man.

DAMN! NAS ONLY COMPETITION IS GODSON ESCO THAT'S NASTY SEE WHAT I DID HERE NASTY NAS I LOVE IT
Id love to see a creative track called Nasty vs Escobar track with him flowing both ways. Escobar was little more complex while Nas was more raw and gritty. Street poet
He did on this album . No Tears is the track
I love how hitboy has those evolving beats.
The whole album is fuego 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the fact that there's a lot of explanations, that's why I love him most.

Favorite song on the album
Curious to see what ya'll think about "Based on True Events Part 1 & 2"
Yeah Nas was schooling the world, FINANCIAL FREEDOM IS KEY
always giving messages nas is just the greatest and thanks for the beautiful reaction and i love what you do . i appreciate you guys
The muh fuckin greatest of all time.....and it ain't even fuckin close no more
An instant classic! Nas is the 🐐 ands it’s not even close. Great review fellas.
I never really connected how close Nas and J Cole's flows are.
My Spotify went from J Cole (can't remember the song) then to one of Nas' new songs came on and I was like "damn"
That’s j cole idol
J Cole said Canibus and Nas were his favorite rappers growing up
J.cole literally has an entire song dedicated to Nas about how much he is inspired by him and how much of an idol he is to him.
Thank you Nas! Awesome!
Great episode. Nas just keeps hip hop alive. Lyrics are on point.
It’s Ill when you get bag for your own art 🔥🔥🔥long live Nasir Jones
Based on true events pt.1 and 2 is what sets Nas apart from everyone GOAT 🐐 you really need to check them out
It's a minnie movie in 2 parts with like 3-4 pov. It's kind of like Sekou Story and Live Now from Street Disciples.
Facts.
i was a little worried about this breakdown, but you guys nailed it
Glad you all were able to appreciate the substance in this song.
Also y’all mentioned the beat in “Never Die” was “ok”….Hit killed it on this song…that sample 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I CAME BACK FOR THE REACTION OF THIS SONG 😄🩶🩶
Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷 we ❤Nas
Love that track 🤩🔥🔥

Exactly. I was confused at 1st listen, then I listened again and again, now I appreciate that track so much more. Yes he is speaking about Stevie J and Faith Evans.
He could've been also talking about JayZ messing with Charlie Baltimore who was Biggie's girl.
Nas blessed hiphop
Magic 2 and three dropped not even six months apart from one another, wow! Love how you guys decipher verses. Should have masters degrees in doing that shit FrFr!
Magic 2 is 2 months old on Thursday, that's crazy
2 months apart.
You guys need to do Based on True Events, pt. 1 and 2
Part 2 in particular is insane. The imagery is nuts.
Part 2 is my favourite track on the album 💯👨🏿🎨
Y’all need to do Based on True Events Pt 2 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 My guy is storytelling really spitting a movie
That song is dope!!
Part 1 was very nice also the whole album as well
NO TEARS!
I’m a diehard metalhead but I love me some Nas. Back to Metal please give Orange Goblin a shot. Either Red Tide Rising or Heavy Lies the Crown 🤘
The Michael Jordan of Rap! 6 Rings!

Guys listen to sitting with my toghoughts nas ... Omg ommmggg
Listen to slow it down off magic 2 then listen to sitting in my thoughts 🤯
I love this track, nothing better than being free!!
What’s up fellas when Nas said million dollar sync for Al JARREAU OF RAP was the single on lost tapes 2 which everyone did not understand like he said. The mans a straight genius..
It was used in an ad campaign and Nas got a milli off it.
@5:27 I feel like that line about "who really messin' wit' they dead man's girl" was a shot at Stevie J, fuckin with Faith!!
NO TEARS left me in.........
Chief Keefs government is Keith Cozart that's how he came up with that
Since your guys love NY state of mind part 2, do "Based on True Events part 1 and 2" stories there are carzy.
It's a minnie movie in 2 parts with like 3-4 pov. It's kind of like Sekou Story and Live Now from Street Disciples.
it sounds like the type of music the character in the movie 'Ghost dog' would play in the car he has just stolen.
A team that’s militant…I LOVE THIS FEELING!!
Another amazing song by the goat 🐐 Nas.
One of my favs off magic 3, glad u chose it
Nas is like one of the very few old school artists that I can listen to and enjoy the music...and not just like it becausde of the past luv of the artist....I think older school artist need better production and just rap better and more creative.

Hopefully you keep it going with Magic 3! I miss the days of album reviews
More Magic 3 reactions please.
Goat
Do sitting with my thoughts
Chief Keef Gov’t is Keith Cozart
Get bags for my old art means owning his masters so Ozark has to pay him for using his music..
illmatic sold over 2 million copies
And the bar about the dead man’s girl tell you every thing about that man’s world I think he talking about lil Kim’s ex dude name Damien ‘World’ Hardy.. 👈🏾 not sure thou about these one could be about Stevie J… 🤷🏽♂️
Regardless Nas is Brilliant 💥
Some say that Nas was talking about Jay messing with Charlie Baltimore after Biggie dying or Stevie J marrying Faith. Who knows🤷♂️
Great jam
Would love if you did some more at magic 3
Nas is 1 of the greatest , anyone who says otherwise don't know sh*t let's just be real lol
I hope y’all do the whole album.
Based on True Events 1 & 2 plz
The dead man girl line could be a shot at Stevie J 👀
Definitely could be. Faith
NaS talking about one of Biggies friend dating or marrying his daughter's mother or something like that.
I dig your videos, keep 'em coming. Would love to see your reaction to Emma Kok singing Voilà (alongside André Rieu). Her story is a pretty great one.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that too was a sly shot at Stevie J for marrying Faith Evans on that “dead man’s girl” line.
Check out Speechless Part 2.
I'm telling ya'll a Nas and Russ cut could be essential for hip hop.
Do “ No tears” heavy
