True a goat that still is amongst us! He needs to be cherished including his music! I speak on behalf of many fans here in the uk 🇬🇧! His music can be heard wherever you go around the British Isles 🔥
Got to see Nas perform this live in Hawaii! I was the only one that knew all the lyrics in the small crowd. I Was in the front so Nas pointed at me as we were rapping his first verse, and kept rappin with me! I finished his verse ‘and of course n a s are the letters that spell.. NAS’. I yelled Nas super loud and the DJ missed scratching it into the song so I completed his song a bit! Love Nas been listening to him since the 96 album all the way back then and went back to listen to illmatic shortly after but bought his first five main albums
If you were in the front, how do you know you were the only one who knew the lyrics? We’re you watching Nas or the people behind you? And how would you know anyway? Because you didn’t see their lips moving? You assume a lot.
@@anonymouslakernerd7214 In Kona, Hawaii the crowd was small. When he saw me rapping every word of his verse, he came over to my side of the stage. I was the biggest fan in the crowd. He was warming up seeing who knew his individual tracks. Not anyone knew the lyrics to his classic songs surprisingly. I’m also a rapper so I know every word to rap in the same syllable pattern as Nas, and he was impressed. You assume a lot!
@@Prestigiousguy You assume that rapping every word of someone else's song is a reliable measure of fandom? Maybe there were bigger fans than you in the crowd who were enjoying the show without needing to be part of the show. Just like you used this video as an opportunity to (a) stake your claim as the biggest Nas fan at a show [hence, shifting the spotlight from Nas to you], (b) Let anyone who reads this know that you, too, are a rapper [and therefore important?] while other folks are just satisfied watching the video. Of Nas.
@@anonymouslakernerd7214 hahaha I’m telling you, Nas recognized and respected me in that moment as his main fan of the moment, and it was to this song that was reacted to on YT. I think it’s significant and I’m just trying to make more fans like me out there. I know if the show was in NY, I would have been more insignificant in the crowd. That’s why it was cool. Just thought I’d share my experience. I’m sure there are a lot of other fans with similar and much cooler experiences.
@@Prestigiousguy All good, fam. I was just bored and messing with you. Nas is a beast and deserves loyal fans like you. I'm kinda being a dick, my bad.
Aye bro, I found you cause of your Nas reactions; he is highkey my favorite rapper of all time exactly because of that shit you said "you catch the bar like 3 seconds later" like you hear but you really hear it down the line
I wish this kid was my son...real talk. You were raised right! Watching your reaction to the golden era titans... is like reliving that era again for an OG like me. Stay original
Beyond the image NaS is a poet. He’s as true of an artists/musician as it gets in Hip Hop. Runs in the family for him since his father was/is a musician. there are are a lot of double entendre’s in this specific composition. For example when he says “can't take it with you under this Earth Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked.” So here he is talking about the obvious. I don’t have to spell it out. But he’s also referring to death customs like in ancient Egypt for example where they would bury their Pharaohs with gold and other jewels but grave robbers ultimately stole those treasures. Another example would be this line “Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.” He’s talking about who is the GOAT in Hip Hop. He’s humble bragging that he’s #1. At the same time he is taking about the major religions i.e., who is the real messenger of God. Is it Moses, is it Jesus or is it Mohammed. NaS grew up in a time where though many AA were Christians however there was a 5%/ Nation of Islam influence. So he was well aware of the various religions and their beliefs. Look despite the image of NaS people have studied his lyrics and his vocabulary since it’s light years beyond his formal education. He’s a self taught man.
@Kingz K - glad you get into listening and pondering his lyrics, such as how J.Cole borrowed a bar from Nas and I hope your taking heed to what Nas said "let my cash invest in stock", your saving your $ and putting it into stocks to make it grow too. Great video review bro, stay woke.
I'm only 25 and it's so weird to me that anyone has only heard of Nas through J. Cole and just that's it. They know he exist because of Cole but don't know anything else at all. Damn when I was growing up I first got into Hip-Hop with Em and Dre and Snoop and shit, but I looked up and studied everybody they name dropped and kept expanding. Edit: But that is what you doing now. Good shit bro. 👍
@@KingzK0 Honestly I'd kind of like to start an exchange program: modern recommendations for me and old-head recommendations from the classic catalogue. 🤣
"Im like Greeks in Egypt learning something deep from THEIR Teachers" Nas is letting you know that Knowledge of Philosophy, Math and Science came from the Black Man in Africa. "Before Christ (BC) and after Dearh(AD), the Last One Left " Nas = 🐐
This is ONE OF my favorite tracks from NAS I appreciate your grind and your ear for good music I just sub to your channel Also dont forget to listen to the song SMALL WORLD BY NAS
What up bro much respect from Australia can you react to New World By Nas it came out the same year as this in 1999 and the songs about the future I haven't seen anyone react to it yet and also Bone Thugs East 1999 if you can good reactions bro
Yo my Bro. I love what you doing with the reactions. Please I have a request that you will not regret or ever forget. Please check out SMOOTHE THE HUSTLER AND TRIGGA THE GAMBLER, THE NAME OF THE SONG IS CALLED BROKEN LANGUAGE. the lyricism is 🔥
Kingz K I watched you react to several songs Nas songs and most were produced (not engineered) by DJ Premier. Look him up, he has songs with many of the greats.
Old head in a young frame i 👀 u...Nas is my guy much respect to ya... Lifes a bitch, It aint hard to tell,Ghetto Prisoners, Stillmatic intro..can u check out Styles P Shadows would preciate it
How you noticed that Kendrick used the first bar of this song, in one of his songs, is a perfect example of the kind of thing Jay Z used to do in tribute of BIGGIE, that had people, including Nas, accusing him of plagiarizing BIGGIE. They are so recognizably Nas's bars to anyone that knows hip hop, that anyone hearing Kendrick use them, knowing how much of an inspiration Nas was to him, would take it the way Kendrick meant it, as a tribute as opposed to Kendrick "biting" Nas's bars. That was Jays defense as well.
