"ALL NAS EVER ASKED ME FOR WAS TO GET HIS MOM OUT THE PJ'S!!!"SERCH TALKS THE IMPACT "ILLMATIC" MADE 

Yea Serch Dope

Solidified based off of what?

Truth

It’s because he’s white. Hate to say it. And I am saying it because I just got called a racist/ for saying Kevin Gates needs to check his daughter. Black men need to stop being racist towards white men. Like you guy got a secret lingo/ we understand every word. And you try to act like you are so dam cool around white men. Stop it. It’s racism at is best.

Arsenal is screwing everyone's dreams this year

IYKYK. He just needs his respect from those of us who know this culture and love it… Really know it and love it… Separates the real from the fraudulent… I can tell when people talk about the culture if they know and if they don’t. Saves a lot of energy.

Nas will always be the king of NY, if the mekkah of Hip-hop respects you, that's all you need,

Exactly 🎯 and that's why 'Ether' will forever be the most iconic battle hip hop song ever imho because of what you just stated, RESPECTFULLY!!! ✊🏾🗽💯

Word

Gods Son= GREATEST MC ALIVE!!!!!!

wait too verses

He said after 165k units sold I made sure nas was a millionaire. Mc serch is a goat off that alone

Realest shit ever...Mobb Deep and Nas def raised me comíng up young with that black Panasonic on cold winter days outside with my dudes...

Relax

​@Gab Gotti yeah ikr...Nas wadnt never a father figure to me. Maybe an uncle or big cousin..but father...huh?

Agreed, & first step to that is spelling the man's name correctly. SERCH.

Yeah very good interview so far the story’s r 🔥🔥💯👊🏻

He’s white

Respected & Accepted!

Is he wearing skinny/ripped jeans?!😆😆😆😆😆😆

They should get Wendy day in there too

Facts

@Rilly Jo Absolutely! Wendy is also a pivotal part of the Culture.

Sound dumb asf 🤣😂 There you dumb bimbo's go, Making exceptions based on y'all's preference.... This man is a culture vulture in my opinion. Is he making money of hip hop yes or no. If he is then he's a culture vulture.

Facts!

It's really solidified Magic and KD3

@@Mono-kr4ih I had it at KD1... it was too close before that 1st KD dropped

That's IT! That's ALL!

Facts bulletz we need a video addressing this. Jay-Z lied period takeover is falling apart the truth is coming out jay was Never on Nas level

MC Serch!

hoping they bring it up at some point

Pete rock got paid for the beat. His lawyer just realized that he never got paid royalties. Two different thing. And that’s a dispute with Columbia records, not with Nas or Serch. But it depends on the initial deals. Producers often get upfront money and no royalties. So idk why Pete rock okay’d this. But whatever. He’s talented but always been a guy who’s hard to like

@@dfwherbie8814 I can dig all that . Just thought it would have been something that Serch would've been able to share his experience and perspective with that . Serch is good at explaining how the Illmatic process got handled .

@@dfwherbie8814 Pete is also full of sht, pushing the whole Jamaicans and hip-hop myth just like Busta Rhymes.

@@bowling4clarity817 true. I would like to hear the story too

absolutely.

They were alluding to Nas dissing Serch in the past. Has that ever happened?

And not a black sneaky guy

@@jjordan6066 never

BS. Everybody wanted to sign Nas. That 2% story is definitely front. If he was so great to Nas, he would still be riding with Nas on his team and Nas would still be speaking highly of him. Even Akniyele got the props on KD3.

Nah, he’s saying how you supposed to know that Jay is lying when he make a statement about publishing.

Thats a HoV stan for ya lol

Can I get open record

Been Won QGTM 💰 “Queens niggas run you niggas ask Russel Simmons”💯💯💯

The general consensus was that Nas won back then..Beside Jay admitted that he lost on BP2

The Media and Jay’s money can be deceiving

Lol. Nas won back then in 01. Serch just further solidified nas's victory 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

We all knew Nas won even then.

Worddd up😂 , def no block-work coming from that man #HoFFa 🔊

This man search is a culture vulture U got you a Man crush I see

@rich homie Spidey... Sounding real young and dumb, with that corny ass profile name

@@richhomiespidey smoking crack holds u back. Tf u on

Facts! I like his Bushwick Bill story too! RIP to Bushwick!!

@@knowthyself6335 yooo i forgot about the Bill story 😂

@@knowthyself6335 “so me and bill are at the burger king” pure comedy😂

@@ep3578 yoooo 😂😂😂😂😂

It's false, a myth he keeps pushing that has been debunked by multiple people, including his former partner Pete Nice. There's recordings of interviews from1990 where his story is completely different. Don't believe everything this dude says.

Best comment I've read so far....he's such a smart dude and gr8 story teller, enjoying this interview extremely, so necessary to give this man his flowers.....disgusting how many people who don't even know this man exists.....true heads know.....that makes the difference, salute to you for being a true fan of the culture!!!!!!

@@703Tyme Yessir! I wholeheartedly agree. And this is turning out to be such a great and insightful interview. Speaking of, I've really been impressed with what Math has been doing with his platform and the way he conducts his interviews. Really enjoying his uploads. You take care!

@@mr.g.9685 Couldn't agree more fam.....glad to know that people care about how we got here, and if more people would just Search (Pun Intended) then maybe the game wouldn't be in the state it is.....so much negativity and drama and people don't even know about how much work our elders put in to break the mold of radio, urban growth and positivity for the culture! The founding fathers and originality is why I put in 15 yrs of hard work myself, wish I woulda known half of what Search does........God Bless and have a Happy Thanksgiving bro!

@@703Tyme Hip-Hop was never meant to just be a genre, it was created to be a culture. Even though there have always been dark moments within it, it was honestly meant as a way to unite people rather than divide them. I know it may sound like I'm 'going too deep' or 'reaching' but it's the truth. I used to listen to all artists in hip-hop, but it's almost completely devoid of lyrical storytellers and genuine people that aren't just trying to sell a facade. Serch grew through and helped pioneer some of what makes hip-hop what it was at its best. And you're absolutely right with what you said about giving him his flowers. I feel like too many of us just hype what we have right now and forget about the foundation. That's why I try to do my part with my son when he's asked me what I think is the best-of-the-best in hip-hop. He loves Logic, Eminem, Drake, etc... and that's fine. However, I told him if he really wants to know who the 🐐 is, he needs to listen to NaS' entire discography and it'll be easy to answer. Then hip up the likes of Tribe, De La, Naughty, Boogie Down, LL, yada...yada...yada... I love everything having to do with the culture. My dad even had a friend that would tag up all of Manhattan with the dopest murals of artists and such. On occasion he used to let me tag along (no pun intended lol) and I'd just be in awe. I can't listen to it all like I used to. That's why I just try to make music for myself and try to inspire my son to do the same. Wow... sorry for the rant, but it's refreshing to find someone that's like-minded. Anyhow, God bless you and yours, fam. Enjoy your evening and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Take *nothing* for granted my G!

@@mr.g.9685 Yo.....thats such a dope story, I was already rappin before I had ever been to NYC to even see the roots....ur Son likes Em....put him on to Infinite.....Ems 1st album before he created Slim Shady, which he did cuz he couldn't get signed, they said he sounded too much like AZ and NAS.....oddly enough, his album is no Illmatic, but you can see he had the skill the whole Tyme, but YES to everything you said, Treach, BigL and Children of the Corn, Rass Kas, Eric B and Rakim, KRS 1, Kane....Kool Moe D......oh the good ole days....its crazy cuz the industry has done a lot of these dudes so dirty.....I opened for Mr. Cheeks in Boston, and he was a str8 up Dick to me....White Boy from VA, and I just wanted to tell him how much I loved The Lost Boys music and the affect it had on my life, then in one night he changed my whole perception.....I couldn't get 5 min to talk to him, but his manager spent a yr trying to get me to buy a feature for 2k.....it was weird and I realized at that point, like the industry is effed up man....hadn't had a hit since Lights Camera Action, but still thought he was worth 2k for prolly a 12 he already had written.....thats what E Ness did to me, but Young Bleed never did....Bleed and I have a good relationship to this day....but the story of how Master P got him is just crazy.....thats why it's so refreshing to hear an Interview with a dude who did everything he could to be a part of the culture......and it worked......I LOVE IT!!!!!!......damn.....my apologies also for the Novel......hahahahaha

Real shit

👐 Amen

RIP to his moms, she raised a legend so she must’ve been an amazing woman.

Nas won.

Casual vs Safir is the greatest battle in Hiphop History

R ight.Jay was a movement unlike Nas.That is why he was believed it..

@@terrenceliburd8655 Safir! True Story. I'm a prosthetist in the Bay area. And I was referred a patient who said he used to know Pac. Come to find out, it was Safir. He's down bad unfortunately. He had alot or medical issues and supreme paranoia. Appreciate the good times man. Hurt me to see him like that. He jumped off thet plane and he's been dealing with those issues ever sense

And only one verse is really for nas. It’s really a prodigy diss.

The internet fucked up music plain and simple. It's too easy and has to be churned out too fast for crazy classics to come out. It's microwaved and not slow cooked.

These jayhova witnesses funny as well... imagine a nigga growing up in QB not seeing a tec before lol

@@taioslamjam9323. Nigga, I'm from South Africa, and I even I understand that😂😂. Some fools just hear shit and run with it.

Thanks for the clarification 💯🙏

Get the feeling he been told to hold it down after the Smif n Wessun thing.

Serch*
