Nas seems to have a contrite and humble spirit. Especially for someone so talented. That's why we rock with him. And his music is timeless.

@Lorrdd Год назад

Which is why he goes by a stage name instead of his real name, because he's so humble and down to Earth that he rejected his own name. His "music" isn't timeless. You don't get to decide that. Timeless music is what transcends generations, this joker hasn't ben around 5 minutes. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Rush called, they laugh at your pathetic notion of timelessness. Fifty years from now, no one will remember Nas, everyone will remember that you "can't get no satisfaction".

@disc8519 Год назад

His real first name is Nasir. 32 year career. Guess people who call themselves Bill instead of William are rejecting their real name as well?

But Nas said whats up to us and hung out for 10-15min minutes. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but that gesture showed me he was a down to earth guy who was well aware of his surroundings.

tbf he did have that timeframe during the mid 90's during which he seemed disappointed that "Illmatic", despite being such a critical darling, not having made the same kind of splash commercially seemed to have bugged him and leading to attempts to make his then-released music more appealing to a broader audience. of course, I'd also say he course corrected later, I guess having realized that while he made an okay-[insert successful rapper here] he is makes for the very best NAS.

"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)

Jay won when it came to the money part of the game when it comes to the people Nas won. It’s a 2 kings kinda thing. I’d love to set down and have a talk with Nas man since I was a kid I knew he would be the one. His first album they called him the golden child and he didn’t disappoint.

Not everyone wants a billion dollars fool. I’m sure Nas is happy with his 80 million

@Shysta30 Год назад

@@chillhomie7 he actually has way more than that, he just doesn't have Forbes or any other financial institutions in his business.

@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300 Год назад

@@chillhomie7 first off “ fool” I was a Nas fan way before I ever even listen to Hov. Secondly having a billion plus isn’t bad. Bro you gotta understand the time periods and places where these two came from. QB was different from Bk. Jay and those dudes was street hustlers more so that QB where the Soldiers came from that side. Nas had way more people to pull from around that area Kool G rap Q tip tribe called quest. The only thing Jay and those dudes wanted to do was hustle f rap. It’s a big difference I can’t knock a man because of where he grew up made him focus on one thing only. I’ve always said if there is a throne Nas is on it Jay is there BIG is there Pac is there. The 4 kings in my book. It’s like 4 kingdoms game of thrones shit if you will fool!! Lol Jk man have a good day bro.

Act like Jays marriage didn’t help his business access and appeal. Y’all so dense

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how youthful Nas looks at age 49!!! Madness. He's also absolutely on form right now. The King's Disease series has been a fantastic run. Long may it continue. One of the best to ever do it.

@pauliacampo5174 Год назад

Nas was my introduction to hip hop and will always be the King.

@navers87 Год назад

The greatest rapper of all time, there is just no debate about it anymore, especially after his last four albums with Hit-Boy. I have been at this table since 2006 when he dropped Hip Hop Is Dead, and it's about time people have woken up that he is just on another level lyrically compared to everyone.

@shumayelkhan8154 Год назад

Yeah for me Eminem and him are neck and neck.. and these last three albums is what separate Nas. Em hjmself reveres Nas.

Nas has provided me with the personal montage of my life and I hope you're lucky enough to experience that too.

@BobbyG077 Год назад

Something random I noticed and thought was a nice touch; When Nas walks on stage at 0:20 the band plays a short part of 'Harlem Country Girl', a song by Olu Dara who is Nas' father. I used to listen to that song a ton so I recognized it immediately

Dear CBS and/or Late Show interns who are stuck reading these comments: please tell Stephen and your bosses that this was a fantastic interview and choice for a guest. I don't think I have ever seen Nas on a talk show before. I was genuinely surprised and excited by him being there and you guys earned some major points for this one. Keep up the good work and do more stuff like this.

@Baa072 Год назад

Kill the ego and make it about the art. That is a life motto that applies to all activities in life i guess. Very nicely said Mister Nas

@sherisetyus9768 Год назад

When Nas said King’s Disease is about over indulging and waking up before it’s too late made me think about King Solomon from the Bible, he had wisdom, riches and over indulgence and shared the lessons he learned! ❤ Nas!!!

I love how Nas interviews are just as good as his music. he really teaches and talks about stuff other than just music unlike most artists.

@andrewwilliams3389 Год назад

Nas saying he doesn’t get any inspiration from no one right now & that he and Hitboy are inspiring each other.. pretty much he humbly jus stated he’s the GOAT🐐👑 Nas the greatest of all time!

@cassandramonique Год назад

I told my 13-year-old son that he will be become one of the greatest of all time if he keeps his faith and stay true to himself. Nas is one of the lyrical angels of my generation my son listens to now.

Great idol. Tell him how Nas would disappear and his girl thought he was cheating and he would go to an abandoned house and write rhymes on the walls and it was covered! He was obsessed! Also go to school!

@Slinky82 7 месяцев назад

My favourite artist period No coincidence he was born in the same year as his craft !

@kevincastillo868 Год назад

Nas truly is the One . He is hip hop. Not even Jay-Z at his level of hip hop. .. maybe just KRS ONE , since he keeps on dropping music even till now. NAS IS THE GOAT.

@terrencealford4604 Год назад

One of the most talented artists that ever existed in the hip hop industry. The fact that he remains about the music and nothing else is why Nas is one of the GOATS. Much love Nas 👍🏾

a legend. i'm thankful for all the old school, rap- hip hop artists that are trying to keep real rap-hip hop alive while these new kids, and those that got big in 2009 are trying to destroy it. ✊✊😟
