Nas: The Vision Behind ‘King’s Disease,’ The Firm and Mending Relationships | Apple Music

[@ndujamz]

5 reasons why Kings Disease deserves a Grammy. 1. Lyrically Fresh 2. Well Produced 3. Caters for old and new generation 4. Subject matter is relevant to the current state of the world and black race 5. Featured artists delivered very well.... 6. Cure for Coronavirus

[@dennisclark7589]

@Aaron9 I agree with you brother I mean if you look at his catalog I mean we talkin over 12 hours if I'm correct and I mean that this is how you build a body of work you know the man's wealthy is f*** despite all his trials and tribulations he's a legend he's the greatest lyricists of all time if not one of the top two I mean people always_ his value to the game cuz we live in a flossy type world where and I was generated by you know sales so much as far as how much money people think you have the illusion but he's a grown ass man with grown ass man lyrics and subject matters

[@jman1562001]

This is the most open I have seen Nas.....the whole King's Disease concept is so DOPE. I also love how he mended his conflict with Mega and embraced him by putting him on the album!!!! Nas is a treasure of hip-hop culture and we as a community have to continue to celebrate how deep he has been in the rap game, how far he has come, and how far he continues to push the artform!!!

[@riellg.e.m.b-112beatz4]

He asked really good questions and shows a lot of interest in his guest. Great interview.

Best Nas interview I have ever seen.

[@peterbadami4872]

I was thinking the same thing. Nas is one of my favorite rappers, but normally is a very shy and reserved interviwee. This the most comfortable, reflective, and engaging that I've seen in an interview before.

[@haroontahir1382]

This man is a living legend and his humility makes me admire him even more

I just love Nas. He is so great and yet still so humble after all these years. Thus, the negative comments and hating in various ways by people who are threatened by his quiet thunder. Classy dude!

This is the most articulate interview I've ever seen of him. He is usually always super high 😂😂😂. Always been my favorite tho. I love that he's inspired!!

[@eternalyfeful]

Nas always communicates well dude, on or off the mic, you should watch his Documentary, you should watch him in an old school documentary called Rhyme and Reason, this brother is always on point with his words, that's what makes him so dope as an emcee, he's a wordsmith.

[@Synchronite]

The Black Flash Gordon Not facts 😆 Love Nas but he sometimes struggles to answer simple questions Look at the bc interview He’s trailing off towards the end and that was one of his more coherent interviews

[@Milo63071]

Nas has never ever sounded articulate in interviews even when asked the simplest questions. I used to think it was because he was high or some but it's just the way he is. He also has a lazy vocabulary in interviews, uses words like "cool", "thats crazy" often. He is also a better story teller when rapping that in conversation (interviews).

[@lmartin212]

@@Milo63071 he is also socially awkward and hates fame that's why he so much more articulate when writing and recording too, on top of being super high 😭😭

[@eternalyfeful]

@@Synchronite ... okay, maybe so but he's allowed to grow right? Alot of rappers start out sounding "hood" or unpolished or uncomfortable talkin to media but they grow, they find out the world is bigger than the projects or the neighborhood or the city they come from, they tour, they meet people of all different races and cultures and they grow, so that's what we have in Nas, a man who has been all over the world, learned, grown, become a mature man.

[@Annie70767]

Such a great interview! There were questions asked that I didn't know how Nas would respond. He's generally a calm, poised person. But being that he's introverted and has a street background, one would want to be cautious how they ask this man about his personal life (like heartbreaks and past relationships especially) and make sure they show respect and not give off a bad impression.
