“Kill the Ego. Make It About the Art” - Nas on How to Cure the King’s Disease

[@BobbyG077]

Something random I noticed and thought was a nice touch; When Nas walks on stage at 0:20 the band plays a short part of 'Harlem Country Girl', a song by Olu Dara who is Nas' father. I used to listen to that song a ton so I recognized it immediately

Nas seems to have a contrite and humble spirit. Especially for someone so talented. That's why we rock with him. And his music is timeless.

[@Lorrdd]

Which is why he goes by a stage name instead of his real name, because he's so humble and down to Earth that he rejected his own name. His "music" isn't timeless. You don't get to decide that. Timeless music is what transcends generations, this joker hasn't ben around 5 minutes. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Rush called, they laugh at your pathetic notion of timelessness. Fifty years from now, no one will remember Nas, everyone will remember that you "can't get no satisfaction".

[@disc8519]

His real first name is Nasir. 32 year career. Guess people who call themselves Bill instead of William are rejecting their real name as well?

tbf he did have that timeframe during the mid 90's during which he seemed disappointed that "Illmatic", despite being such a critical darling, not having made the same kind of splash commercially seemed to have bugged him and leading to attempts to make his then-released music more appealing to a broader audience. of course, I'd also say he course corrected later, I guess having realized that while he made an okay-[insert successful rapper here] he is makes for the very best NAS.

"Biggie's Ready to Die album came out several months after Illmatic, and Biggie was crowned king of New York in the popular culture of Hip Hop heads, Ready to Die unfairly over-shadowed Illmatic, which is truly a classic album. Though they were quite distinct artists, they innovated in analogous ways. Biggie merged language that was high and low, vernacular and vocabulary words, in a way that sounded natural. He did this with a sophisticated understanding of the patterns of black language. When a different or unusual word or phrase could be introduced while still maintaining the aesthetics of black language, he inserted it. NaS, in contrast, merged concepts that were high and low, vernacular and metaphysical, in a manner that was whole rather than pieced together, thus presenting a complex that is unusual in any music outside of jazz. What Biggie started to do with language in 1994, NaS had already begun to do with ideas on Illmatic. He carries us through the "Righteous steps" of the cosmic, oceanic, and literal dimensions of his person. He transcends." - Imany Perry (Born To Use Mics)
