MTV Hip Hop Week (1999) - ft. Nas, RZA, Ma$e and Wyclef

[@gritty25]

“Internet gonna end record stores” sad but true from the great Prophet Nas

[@fairplayterrific147]

Because Nas Was A Product Of That..... With His Supposed Double Disk LP I AM........

[@Ah-ed6ie]

Video already killed the radio star.

[@andred4473]

Nastradamus

[@startervisions]

Word, Bowie was talking about the same stuff in 1997

[@jasondawson92]

This interview is like 1999 after that the new era came or century that is

[@Nando6413]

When MTV was MTV! About MUSIC and concerts and festivals. I miss these times, dearly.

[@surfseapop]

Nas and RZA building heavy on this gem.

[@cibida1]

Mase predicted the future too with hip hop being the #1 genre of the 21st Century.

[@dumbledee]

Hip hop been the #1 genre for years now, it was back then too.

[@daniscottxo]

@@dumbledeeback then rock and country dominated and it wasn’t until the mid to late 00’s that hip hop become mainstream on that level

[@TheCheckInReport]

Nas was prophetic on music being on the internet taking down the record stores

[@royalyouth1173]

The Check In Report actually Tragedy Khadafi said that

[@t.7527]

Facts !

[@84blizzle]

I actually remember watching this when it aired lol. It had to be like 98 or 99. Im getting old..

[@dtraversodt]

All these cats are legends...Mase can rap over any beat

[@MASTER3371]

Seeing RZA saying “Older Cats” “Old School” make you realize EVERYBODY GETS OLD. Of course we all know that but damn life goes on. All 4 of them are now the Older Cats/Old School

[@rivercometman1845]

More like true school

[@emmanuelowino5062]

RZA razor sharp as always

[@fdation]

I saw this in the 90s and it hasn't been available online since.very rare interview.

[@soulofachristian8704]

Ma$e and Na$ would probably make the most DANGEROUS duo group!! ( and let Rza and Havoc do the beats)

[@chazzleonard7890]

I remember watching this at the time. There’s a portion where they discussed Jay Z. RZA was saying how he remembered Jay being with Jaz. I remember Nas being visibly uncomfortable. He didn’t have much to say about him.

[@dgmobbdeep]

At that time, the beef between the two of them had already been in gestation for at least 3 years. The very least.

[@rivercometman1845]

Dude I already asked but you seem like you would know, wtf is that amazing beat at 4:40 onward...

[@meladgoat]

@@rivercometman1845 hey bro, not sure if you still wondering but the beat is nas street dreams remix.

[@rivercometman1845]

@@meladgoat thank you yes I was still wondering

[@AmaruWXRLD13]

i remember seeing this when i was younger, crazy

[@warnutztheloser]

[@blacksultan85]

9:36 Wyclef's face during the interview he didn't look too happy when he said about Hip Hop is going to the next level *new era* and face wize yup 5 months after this interview Hip hop changed a lot around that time commercialism

[@justinwarner1183]

Jesus rza and nas called the industry future at the end of video almost 2 decades later.

[@drep11]

At 9:02 #Nas predicted history. "The internet will shut down record stores"

[@quantumjuice228]

[@wavyboyo]

nas and mase never did a record? that's criminal

[@sambanelly25]

Nas and Wyclef Jean never did a record. That's a felony 😭😭😭

[@HeathOverledger]

Mase did a track with AZ, that's the closest we've gotten thus far

[@sambanelly25]

I wish Wyclef and Nas did a song together

[@leondre4185]

I blame puff 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Young-M]

Yes but Nas did a song with Loon & Meeno of Harlem World

[@jawadchoudhary693]

Nas wanted to see Nas with Garth Brooks Well in 2019, we got Lil Nas X with Billy Ray Cyrus 😭

[@HeathOverledger]

And the former actually gets a Nas feature in the process 😑

[@thatbronzeboij]

[@Jewelsunisouls21musicworld]

Mase, nas, rza, wyclef would’ve been a unique music group

[@NAMSOist]

[@busymike]

8:46 This dude Nastradamus predicted everything.

[@heavyhandsholmes.9494]

It was like RZA and NAS was the teachers in this interview, and Mase and Wyclef was the students.

[@Hannahbichotte]

[@robertreeves6132]

Bertnard Miller Hip Hop Is Corny Right Now

[@pauloskidane2819]

Bla bla bla nigga Kendrick, J COLE AND Drake sound smarter when they speak than Rza and Wyclef.

[@miguelpatrick79]

@@pauloskidane2819 I'm not taking about sounding smarter I'm talking about speaking with substance rza and wyclef who they sound smart to is subjective and j cole don't say anything that special I get it your a fan😑

[@metaphysicalperspective4532]

Rappers aren't this smart anymore.

[@OmarScruggs]

Is that Terrel Owens at the very end

[@TimrodRa]

[@darkskyparadise1384]

[@TimrodRa]

[@cribgod4644]

✌☮ to the God's and the one nation13 crew 🌐

[@donatas6055]

strange team but all is dope..

[@sambanelly25]

Why is Mase here?🤣🤣🤣 He shiny suit era.😂😂🤷‍♂️

[@MyDbzfan9000]

He was peer pressured into that shit by Puff Daddy, Mase didn't like most of the songs on Harlem World he revealed in an interview, he wanted to do street songs like Cam, but Puff Daddy pressured that mans with riches 🤷🏽‍♂️so Ma$e gets a pass. PUFF DADDY DOES NOT,he is a SNAKE

[@sambanelly25]

@@MyDbzfan9000 Oh I see. Although I'm not exluding Puff from what he did though because what he did was amazing. The problem is that it put the Real hip hop aside and it hindered the true essense of the east coast sound. But at the same time we cant ignore Puff Daddy's legacy. Regarding Mase's Harlem World I agree with you. I noticed that THE REAL HIP HOP is halfway down in the album because thats where it gets deep, with DMX and Jay-Z. So I sensed a little bit of realness regarding Mase. The problem is that wyclef nas and rza are the mount rushmore of real hip hop. So thats why I was like......MASE? NAH LOL.

[@MyDbzfan9000]

@@sambanelly25 yeah Puff Daddy did make an impact and we cant deny that but he has shady tactics too when it comes to his artists...but lmao yeah 24 Hrs to Live, The Player Way, Take What's Yours, etc are all the real Hip-Hop songs on Harlem World meanwhile you got shit like....Feels so Good which is wack, Wu-Tang Clan is my favorite group and Nas is my favorite MC, so no doubt about him and RZA's legacy! They are here to stay, Wyclef is talented vocally...but keep that nigga away from Production, no offense but he produced Can-I-Bus and the beats were wack except Second Round K.O. and even Canibus himself said the beats were wack, but other than that Wyclef can sing and rap just fine especially sing lol

[@sambanelly25]

@@MyDbzfan9000 In terms of the Canibus issue I think Wyclef Jean is a GREAT PRODUCER. I feel like he gave Canibus bad beats instead.🤷‍♂️😂🤔. When you listen to The Score, The Carnival , Ghetto Superstar and The Ecleftic he made magic✨but when it came to Can-I-Bus he fucked up. 🤷‍♂️💯

[@metaphysicalperspective4532]

Mase could rap.

[@AF-Twice]

I remember when this was new. Mase being in the same room as them was like Justin Beiber being in the same room as Nirvana.. Mase was wack as fuck to us back then. I remember it was funny and strange seing him in that room.

[@darkskyparadise1384]

AF Twice What do you think about him compared to alot of rappers today?

[@bxboro4662]

Mase was never wack! Speak for yourself!

[@AF-Twice]

Bx Boro - Back then, Puffy and Mase were the most "Commercial", "Contrived", "Industry" rappers in the world. Back then those words were considered insults. Now days people don't care about the purity of Hip Hop Culture. So, words like "Commercial", "Contrived", and "Industry" are looked at as positive now.

[@fdation]

I agree mase was commercial so real heads thought it was wack.compared to what we have now it sounds great but then no it was weak.

[@AF-Twice]

Jonathan Soko - I saw this interview on TV when it came out. I was 14 when this aired.. Compared to all the dope shit that was being made at that time, the late 90s: Big L, Big Pun, DMX, Canibus, Chino XL, etc... Mase and Puffy were wack as fuck. Commercial, smiling, shiny suit wearing, industry corny niggas.. Murda Mase from Children of The Corn era was nice but there were rumors that Big L was writing his shit back then.

[@MRJayeye]

replace mase with who?

[@Ember_Janer]

The Game Don't Wait! Lol nah Mase is lagit. Mase helped bring fun back to hip hop post Biggie,PAC murder. Thanx Mase

[@dtraversodt]

marvin turner after Big died, Mase was Bad Boys flagship artist. Notice though Diddy groomed Loon from streets to replace Mase 's persona and Shyne was Diddy answer to Big

[@Ember_Janer]

Dale Traverso what's a flagship artist?

[@5280PolotheKid]

marvin turner the main act

[@dtraversodt]
