Help us grow our chanel, if you enjoy this content please subscribe :)

I am a 72 year old white nurse I love Nas!!! He got me through working COVID GOD BLESS

Pap always kept it real. Nas is a genius

He's the GOAT for the real ones

Nas is humble and not too flashy usually. Ppl are often fooled by flashy as being better than it really is

Nas been the G.O.A.T🔥🔥🔥

Major major major respect to Pap for speaking on Nas in that manner. The fact that he and so many have been giving Nas his flowers while he’s still here is what hip hop been needing. Recognizing not the awards or the platinum records but the actual body of work and content Nas has put down since the 90s when it wasn’t cool to do in mainstream hiphop when you had a major deal. Nas sacrificed all the Grammy nominations and billboard hits for real music that woke his people up

fax. people downplay genius all the time to protect themselves/their favorite mediocrity

This is so real ...Nas doesn’t deserve the disrespect the industry diss out but it make since when you really think about why they do it. Nas the 🐐

The Greatest MC/LYRICIST Of All Time, NASIR JONES! #NASTYTHENICEST 👑🐐

I think pap respects nas cuz hes a lyricist 2

Thank you paps. I grew on Wayne ye em and hov was vibrant too. But when I listened to Nas I realize he is above all their heads. Nas is more like Shakespeare. And he was doing it at age 20. Nas is the GREATEST.

"Papoose and Nas is a legion Everything happens for a reason Have a good evening." -Papoose on "Across the tracks" ft. Nas

"God son across the belly i proved you lost already" being humble and successful is the best gift u can give urself facts

Big ups Pap! Who is an incredible lyricist in his own right!! These cats don't want to admit Nas is great, because it's saying he is better than them!!!

Absolutely agree , I have been arguing that same point for years , ✌🏾 Papoose

Nas is the best to ever do it untouchable.

Nas make you think about life for a moment and keeps you thinking most and potrays himself in a non flash Way thats why theere is all this Slander they want flashy Rappers that they aint have to think when listening and of course to upplay the legacy of their Favorite Mc's by Downplaying Nas's legacy

He is Absolutely Correct and most of the rap Game are Haters

True Hip Hop Heads know who the GOAT is. #ILLMATIC

Truth can't be denied 💯

They downplay Lupe Fiasco too!

He is a genius writer.

Esco is the true 🐐!

Hate him all y'all want, he still the G.O.A.T. 🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥

Pap is on the money. He’s one of the people he’s speaking on. Talented and speaking facts.

I agree, that's why Jay the king and people like papoose aren't pushed more. Stupidity sells

Nas is my all time favorite because I’m a leader not a follower I can’t be swayed or fooled by the trend and public perception

NaS THE 🐐👑 that's why

I'd love to hear Nas' and Pap on a track

@NAS is worth a lot more then they give him credit for. ME I was very upset not to see him at the awards 🎉❤🎉when God has his hand on you ,you are separated from the rest❤️‍🔥

Pap broke the science on that eloquently.

Pap is a beast so his opinion has real weight and he is spitting facts!!!

Makes a lot of sense. Nas is the bar and he is a hard act to follow.

100% FACTS! "I wish you love even though you wish me the opposite, sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is." - The GOAT

Respect for papoose for telling the truth .

Ive said this for years 🔥🔥🔥

Facts.... and I'm saying that as a Hovenger! Nas the genius poet laureate 💫

Thank you pap for speaking facts

NaS is unappreciated

"Sooner or later you'll see who the prophet is..."

This is the only answer!

Facts, love papoose for that.

What Papoose is saying is partially true bc so much rap is what I call foul mouthed Dr. Seuss put to a beat. So many people won’t listen to rap--BUT NAS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I CRIED THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM -HE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE ❤❤❤. Awards and lifetime achievement and star on block -

NAS, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

And he said G Rap too 🔥

Papoose is The Truth and Told The Truth up in The Square!

Pap is a good dude who hasn’t sold his soul which is why he is not on the radio.

Nas is the best lyricist in rap history.

Nas is the Goat. Absolutely zero doubts. And he tells you, been telling you. People say hes humble, maybe but he been saying hes the best since 91 and it was true then and still true.

'I gave you power'

The Truth is HARD to EXCEPT...BUT U CAN BUY ANYTHING. BUT THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS FREE...NAS BEEN TEACHN!..BRAVEHEARTS4LIFE......MASS APPEAL 4LIFE!

Oh my God I've never heard something so true man thanxs 2 Papoose one of the best too cause only real recognise real and he knows the truth hey man i even love Papoose more even cause he not only a real mc but a real man so where can i get the whole interview please??😊❤

I remember when I first heard if I Ruled the World. I was in Curts BBQ in the Chi on Cottage Grove. The song came on and these 2 dudes rapped every lyric word for word. I was like damn it just came out and they know the whole damn song already like they wrote it. Nas and L Boogie on a track is magical, it just made me feel good and even better about HipHop

Papoose is a king 🎉🎉

Pappose is speaking the absolute facts 💯

Yes indeed NAS is GREAT. NOT to many on his level

Pap speaking Facts!!

PAP knows...if PAP says a rapper is dope, im gonna believe

just found this video this is awesome I agree with this 100% but it's not just hip hop it's society over all no one likes anything that you have to take your time to do or they deem it too much extra work they want quick simple things catchy hooks and flashy personas it's goes right along with the dumbing down of the country

Damn where y’all be at? I’ve never heard someone talk trash about Nas in my life. I know people ignore him though.

Word is born!!

Real recognize real. There'll will never be another Nas. There'll never be another Pap

Nas sticks to a certain sound. Maybe, If he was more open minded to more diverse instrumentals & make them work with his signature flow. Younger folks would gravitate to him more imo.

Good perspective.

Kendrick and Jcole are the coldest out right now lyrically, excluding weezy! Both of them rap like Nas and have said that is their inspiration lyrically! Jcole got a song called “I thought I let Nas down!”😂😂 Kendrick literally raps like Nas the most! His raps are like movies! Just like Nas! Pap should be top 10 all time lyrically and he didn’t hesitate 😂😂

There's some truth that record labels and mediocre musicians need to ensure that high-effort artistry is less popular / less prioritized by fans compared to entertainment. Because clean-sounding poppy music that follows a formula is a lot easier to crank out 300 albums a year. When it comes to legitimate ARTISTS who can write artistic, intelligent lyrics; those are rare, and brilliancy cannot be manufactured. As far as regular fans who downplay Nas in 2023... there are a lot of so-called hip hop fans who DON'T KNOW SH*T ABOUT RAP. For example, I encountered someone on r/rap, the literal subreddit of rap, the place where you shouldn't even be if you aren't a legitimate rap fan, who said he can't name 5 Nas songs outside of Illmatic. You are not a rap fan, not even a beginner, if you don't know at least I Can, If I Ruled The World, One Mic, and Made You Look; because those are all part of the day 1 starter pack. Outside of that, people talk about The Message and Ether all the time; and Hate Me Now and Nas Is Like should be pretty well-known.

I MENT NAS DON'T USE GIMMICKS

Nas wrote Halftime when he was 17, listen to how everyone else was rapping like that back in 91

Jimi Hendrix godfathered the Swag,George Clinton ran with it with the psychedelic funk movement,The DJs,Mc,s,graffiti artists,breakdancers transformation of samples made music more accessible, Melle Mel captured the soul of the inner city,,BDK,LL,Kool G,Kool Keith,Slick Rick ,and especially Rakim fathered the blueprint of complex hard hitting intelligent bars future artists leaned on,Nas took those influences yet crafted his own distinct style and took things to the next level but he never duplicated the impact of Rakim,nor did Eminem.Rakim hands down is the GOAT because he became the foundational influencer of all future rappers ,Rakim didn't need low vibrational negativity through the use of curse words or evil seeds to plant in people's minds,Rakim planted the Rap tree of life future rappers ate from directly and indirectly.

facts ,Pap the truth

He got a great point

Papoose Papoose ... He's the truth.

If you know you know! 💯🎙🎤

Facts

Real talk i respect this guy.

thank you pap

They don't get the flowers while they breath

True rapper

Wow. This guy is truth incarnated.

Talk that Sh!t Pap... Facts!

Who the hell is calling Nas wack? I haven’t heard anyone with true hip hop knowledge say something stupid like that? I don’t get this? Nas is considered by many as the goat. I’m really confused! 🤷🏻‍♂️

NAS & KRS Longevity 🐐 🐐

Pap know💯

Hands down

Problem with Nas is he didnt have the machine behind him like that. Plus the commercial era of rap screwed his mojo up while he was looking for radio hits. Now that his marching to the beat of his own drum, he has freedom now and with that comes art.

Literally every person I know who has any taste in Hip Hop WHATSOEVER ranks Nas in their top 5, and I frequently hear him in others' number 1 spot. So: Huh?

Yep👍🏿

💯 truth

Facts ! 💯

All facts 🙂🙂

What is the reason you won't say he is who he is?

NAS Is King Rapper for is time his Style un Beatable 🎉

Pap only reiterating that because he said in an interview that he’s better than Jay-Z!😮 I think he should wake up from that dream and apologise, (Muhammad Ali voice)!💥🥊😂🤣💤💭

i always say that the true goat in every sport is downplayed. nas in rap, dwyane wade in basketball, the rock in wrestling. people act like they didn’t see perfection.

1 John 5:20-21 "And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols."

💯

Nas the greatest. Pap a goat too. Don’t sleep.
