His swag & Charisma in this live video is still untouched till this day ... Jordan taxi 12s with a full leather suit 🔥🔥🔥 ... Not to mention this beautiful song it's definitely a beautiful Gem💎 that needs so much more recognition ... If I Ruled The World !
The only way to date a Nas video is either by the set or by the clothing, its impossible to attempt to accurately date the video by his face because hes looked exactly the fucking same for the past 20 years.
+Woofer Cooker This was 96 i reckon or 97. 1. It was written came out in 96 2. The Apollo was kind of the thing during the latish 90's 3. His outfit lmao
This track was HUGE when I was in grade 9, wayback in the day (96'-ish) and I been a NAS Supporter ever since! He is one of my TOP Rappers, next to Tupac obviously. Nas never gets old for me. I feel as though he deserves way MORE recognition & definitely DESERVES to recieve a GRAMMY 🏆❤👌🏽 So much love for this Man, all the way from Toronto, CANADA 🇨🇦
i don't even like hip hop but i remember hearing this on the radio when i was in elementary lolol oh my hearing this again is like having a million pins going through my heart and straight up gives me chills. When you you've had no idea of the impact Nas had on the music scene back in the day.
Concert was dope on Tuesday. Out here in LA I've never seen nas perform before I'm 28 yearsold when I was youngerbin the 90z i never got a chance to relate to him like I did Tuesday in 2019. Had me alert and listening to all lyrics. True Nigga ! 🐐 in hip hop! Speaking knowledge and truth. I appreciate kings like Nas ! 💯
+Guhsteh I am pissed off coz both of those albums are not only still unrealeased but, there is no release date or nothing...IT'S BEEN 3 YRS since his last project!!!
+Guhsteh debatable. If he comes out with the same production that he has from his recent past albums idk man. He has to go back to his old vibe and not succumb to these mainstream beats.
Kurtis Blow rocked the same stage with the same song back in the Early 80s he wrote the original version Nas paid his respect to the great by blessings us with a new sound !!!!!!!!!
I remember when this came on TV back in 96. We stayed up until 1am to watch this. Who remembers the Apollo channel 4....1 am start.....classic nyc shit
Sunny Nizami Good point. His live perfomance of 'Nasty' on Jimmy Fallon was surprisingly great though. I don't know what he consumed before that one. Energy was out of this world.
+Devin O'Brien Kendrick Lamar is considered mainstream if you think about it and he's in the top 3 Emcee's of all time IMO. Agreed, most mainstream is garbage but i guess he's too untalented to be unoticed
they're the big 3 from the mid 90s. kind of in their own group at the the top, a level above the rest. nas with his storytelling, biggie with his flow and pac with his message. they were all immense at every facet though which separates them from the rest. no real weaknesses
Nas killed it, dope performance.
Yes
The 80s had Rakim. The 90s til the current day and still counting has Nas.
Classic 1996 at Apollo, people in the crowd are so lucky. No phones,no snap chat and all that
True.
Actually living in the moment, instead of re-living the moment through social media.
@@Mya_you this is quite an ironic comment
PAC took this beat and made it better.. all eyes on me
@@boanergeseluka7752 Love Pac but no one can take a Nas song and make it better. FOH

I agree. He was so swaggy and had such a charisma about him. All the women wanted him.
+HisOnly17 "swaggy" smh
Yes, swaggy. I said what I said.
With the one leg rolled up style, bboy looking from NYC, you know I'm saying
I want to know where he got that leather suit so bad
25 years later the beat is still fire
Even the original
It’s a good sample
Yeah you can thank Whodini for the sample
もちろんだ 俺 の 青春だからね
Nas had the Taxi's on his feet legendary!
yo nas's outfit is fucking fire!!!!!!!
Righttttt
Always

By the video quality as well
+Woofer Cooker This was 96. Nas also performed Affirmative Action that night.

nas rocking the retro 12s classic song '96 greatness
Lol what were you saying? It ain't retro, it's a pair of OG, the performance was in the same year as 12s came out.
@@gpxjimmy nah, I think this performance is from 97, because that’s the year 12s released

TheChewbaccaGirl yes sir me too
Sigh*.. How does this not have millions of views.
probably because it s only been a year since it s on this channel
It's not a mumble rap🤔

He just killed it, the way he kicked it is amazing
So many gems he dropped in the rhyme

Not underrated when he’s consider by real hip hop heads as the G.O.A.T.

I need that new album Nas! Can't wait.
***** It was supposed to be out this summer, but I'm sure it's coming out soon. He also has a an album with Premo coming out.

Him and Mos Def
I’ll give that to Slick Rick but yes Nas is right up there Biggie too
Biggie

Still brings a little tear to my eye...
probably his best live performance, he usually never says all the lyrics
Jonathan
true this and street dreams remix is up there.
Man Nas here was like the quintessential Lyrical rapper, New York rapper, Gangsta Rapper, and Conscious rapper in on person. True GOAT IMO
We're ee tym to be a good day of my favorite song is📞 went out of your
@@thedexterbros agreed!
Facts
I LOVE how he spit almost every word from the song unlike nowadays where he points the mic to the crowd every few seconds. Still Love him though.
+Cole “EscobarGOAT” Lamar Yeah, his breath control went bad like a lot of the older rappers of today. Thanks to aging and all the marijuana toking lol
Sunny Nizami
Good point. His live perfomance of 'Nasty' on Jimmy Fallon was surprisingly great though. I don't know what he consumed before that one. Energy was out of this world.
This is how today's rappers should care about performance. Rapped every word, controlled the crowd, and didn't break a sweat. G.O.A.T
Amazing breath control
Nas was woke way back then 🙌🏼
K.O.S (Knowledge Of Self)
he's the best rapper of all time
Sersmekesalet Juan I give Nas Best Lyricist Of All Time 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

My top 3 Nas, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G.
they're the big 3 from the mid 90s. kind of in their own group at the the top, a level above the rest. nas with his storytelling, biggie with his flow and pac with his message. they were all immense at every facet though which separates them from the rest. no real weaknesses
