Also, when Nas mentions his daughter and son, he spoke about that line during one of his Illmatic anniversary concerts. He prophetically spoke that into existence, same order having a daughter and son. Destiny and Knight
im the young city bandit hold myself down single handed.....born alone die alone no crew to keep my crown athrone, im deep by sound alone...my gawwwwddddddd
THIS. Is the best idea. Amazing. Pay homage to the true best ever. Thanks for adding this you guys, and I’m sure this will do numbers for you ! And even if it doesn’t, you know those real true hip hop fanatics are gassed about this !!! Big ups.
Like everyone is saying, this series is greatly appreciated as the amount of classic albums is truly intimidating (especially when trying to become a Hip-Hop lyrical scholar) Love from 🇬🇧
Nas is the greatest, the goat. 🐐 more nas!! Bro he released it when he was 19 thats still crazy nobody can do it only nas he wrote illmatic from 16-19. Do memory lane!!
Styles P Gangster and Gentlemen. And if you peep Nas he leaves gems in his songs that become hooks later . Book of Rhymes , Thief Theme in the first verse .
U men are in for some serious true Lyricism... You have A whole batch of Real Lyrics that can be understood..... Make sure you check out Big Daddy Kane, LL, Rakim Pete Rock C L Smooth.... ENJOY
Nas The 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
This shit at 19-20 years old is just absurd 🔥
No lie, his late career catalog really supports this case. Should have more traction as the absolute goat than he does
@@IkemelleWord! And I believe 19/20 is when the album came out, but he was writing the songs at like 15/16.
@@safiyassacredspace mhm. such a talent
Would LOVE more classic reactions on this channel
Love this idea to highlight the classics
Writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margins.
To hold the mic I’m throbbin', mechanical movement,
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move with!!!
The thief's theme play me at night they won't act right the fiend of hip hop got me stuck like a crack pipe!!!
This is really appreciated ❤. It's great to see our young people paying homage to those that pioneered the game.

Yes‼️ This is GREAT!!! Looking forward to more “classic reactions”‼️
I just got Illmatic on vinyl last week. Awesome beats, lyrics, all classic stuff but still resounds like made today
Dope!!!! Nas is true #1 all time

You guys are in the position to make this your own - become true historians of this.
released at the age of 20, wrote probably during 18-20 years of age. truly goat shit!

There is also a movie called "dead president's" that came out a year later. Also Jay used the "cipher complete" line on black album.
Patiently waiting for your King Los reaction
Pure rap... solid Art ... Timeless
This channel is for real Hip Hop fans, never seen it so authentic, yall legit. God bless
I’m from 🇧🇷 glad to found this chanel :)
Oh yeah! Love this format 🙏
I urge everyone to go catch him live when you still can.
Pete Rock is singing the hook on the world is yours. Thats what he had to convince him to do.
Yall NEED to make this a series
Nas is the greatest, the goat. 🐐 more nas!! Bro he released it when he was 19 thats still crazy nobody can do it only nas he wrote illmatic from 16-19. Do memory lane!!
This is my favorite song off of Illmatic. NASTY NAS THE GOAT!!!
You should check out Elmatic by ELZhi from Slum Village. It's a fantastic interpolation of this album with live instrumentation.
Nas forever a legend and huge inspiration. Common's Be for the next classic revisit fasho, turned 20 years old beginning of this year
2:45 FACTS! Nas is NOT normal, he's dropped classics in 3 different decades.
Make that 4 decades bruh
@miskapellinen7920 I've not heard much from Nas from the 2010s. To me, he has classics in the 90's, 2000's and this decade.
I feel like he drops nothing but classics but the flow gets repetitive which is why people may not consider them all classics.
Writing Illmatic at 17 is crazy
And back them he didn't have a Daughter nor Son, crazy that years down the line that's exactly what he got
Shiiit y'all really making me subscribe y'all on patreon huh🤣
The Greatest EVER!!!
I see Nas i click
🙏 Only the real react to Nas... we here for it 💪
A teenager made everyone change their flow and wordplay
we need more classics like MC eiht, DJ quik, Big L, sick video as always
Thanks for paying homage to a true Master of ceremonies 🤙🏾
Definitely should do some bone thug songs
Styles P Gangster and Gentlemen. And if you peep Nas he leaves gems in his songs that become hooks later . Book of Rhymes , Thief Theme in the first verse .
Would love to see y’all react to Hanumankind’s On the Radar freestyle!
What17-19 yr old in this generation you know rappin like that?!🔥🔥🔥🔥
8:44 and it still should be the same way, Pete had the most longevity from all those mentioned and still producing fire.
Memory Lane is my favourite from this Album
Nasir Jones Greatest Poet Ever 🐐✨👑

Depends on my mood, this song is a top 5 Nas track.
