Nas is a 8th grade dropout. Nas is an autodidact. His mastery of language and imagery is phemomenal. Many elite emcees don't have formal schooling and did not graduate from HS...KRS-One, Jay Z, Biggie, Eminem, Big Pun, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne among many. Yes indeed.

His flow on this is ridiculous....listen rza said nas had it already at 16 for what it takes mc's 10 years to do...he perfected his shit out the gate...THE GOLDEN CHILD....that's what he is and will always be....his vocabulary everything....he already had it...here are the words for people that need it [Intro: AZ & (Biz Markie)] (Yo, this is funky! A-yo, what's up, fellas?) Peace, God, peace, peace, how you? (Yeah, I'm a'ight, I'm all good) Yeah, yeah, cool, cool Check it out! I see today's mathematics as bein' understanding, you know? Understanding is havin' the ability to see things clearly For what they are, not what they present theyself to be It completes the cipher, you know what I'm sayin'? It's also symbolic to the black child, which is the best part A-yo, son, represent [Verse 1: Nas] Now, I'm the average nigga in the street life, God I try to beat trife odds Ride my L-E through the night fog and park It's buddha to be sparked, it's consistent The beast smells the L because it travel long distance Cruisin' in his Chrysler, pursuin' niggas in my cipher Start wildin' like insane asylum on Rikers Island Verbal assassin, I murder freestylin' One-two for the gun crew, three drinkin' Cristal and I play the side 'cause the words of man kill Proverbs buck out my grill, real as Ill Will, peep the steel! Nobody move, nobody die, why must I be high? Bustin' in trife bitches, touchin' mic switches It's like a hot spoon of heroin, a Don like Pérignon Females love the guns I be wearin' Plant my seeds to live infinite, indeed in my sentences I flow demandin', that's understanding 850 tempo, but rugged like a Pinto Chop shop hip-hop, burn the block intro High priests release voodoo Déjà vu on this taboo Illmatic shit, and what have you Chef cocaine cook, no brainer, got the proper diction My competition bleeds words and weed blurs my vision I'm freezin' in time, stop the rhyme! I'm sober in a stolen Range Rover, much crime I, stick up America, Nas in your area Disrupt the sound barrier, clowns get pounds of terror A full whip for more clips than Clint has in his era Dirty Harry - cold, black, the uncanny of Kojak A Beretta stickin' up trucks carryin' Amaretto Clever to entice 'em, herbs I'm micin' while I'm pricin' Niggas like they slaves, best behave, I'm the nice one Nas - broken down from Nasir; means protection Pop dukes' resurrection International hoes I'm sexin', while you be fuckin' one section Question: Does a lonely mic give me an erection? Yes, son! On a float like The Jetsons, futuristic rappin' mystic Bust it! Try and diss it while my finger's on the iron biscuit I rhyme terrific, sparklin' like the Diamond District It's understanding [Outro] That's where it's happenin' in Queens That's where it's happenin' in Queens That's where it's happenin' in Queens That's where it's happenin' in Queens

I always say this to people "Nas is the most underrated rapper of all time" I mean seriously underrated. He is celebrated but not really UNDERSTOOD. His flow, cadence, unique voice texture, lyricism, storytelling, subject matter, creativity, longevity, beefs, I mean which rapper has all that? Very few.

Nasty Nas basically ended after his verse on Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. That's when he introduced his Esco persona.

Bout time you did this joint after I suggested it months ago! But to provide you some context, this is off his 1991 demo tape which is actually a mixtape now. You should react to the mixtape too Brodie!! I’m crossing my fingers hoping he re-releases this track remastered!
@dashuntas.m40456 ай бұрын
This was recorded in 95, nobody was rapping like this in 91 and you can tell by his voice, flow and rhyme scheme. He didn’t know AZ in 91, he also references Raekwon and they didn’t meet until 94. The only pre-illmatic songs we’re sure of on that demo tape are Number One With A Bullet, I’m A Villain, Just Another Day In The Projects, Nas Will Prevail.

I know it’s old and they broke bread on this minor BS but, remember 21 Savage said Nas wasn’t relevant? Ignorance is Bliss. As successful as 21 has ever been, there is nothing in his entire catalog that could touch this single Nas joint, lyrically. NOTHING! This wasn’t even the best of Nas. Again, the squared away the nonsense and made a record together. Glad They did that.
