Nas - Funkmaster Flex interview the day Stillmatic dropped (2 of 5)

[@Cooley96]

2:00 "Let's get it in perspective." That's the opening line on Made You Look. Now yall know who that's addressed to. Hook gave it away if you ain't already know.

[@a_k_1193]

nas was more talkative back then lol. Now he just chills

[@NotoriousNYNJ]

Lol word... He was young and hungry back then... Especially around this time it was like a rebirth for him...

[@ebn128]

Jay z lit the fire under his back. This was a bonafide hip hop war and I fuckin loved it. So many great MCs were holdin it down. Beanie vs Kiss was also legendary

[@adavtalib3230]

He was much younger plus he was waring..

[@cbwavy]

He wasn't very talkative back then either, at least not on camera.

[@alexstafonis1763]

You can't come at me going "Uh Oh...UH OOOOHH." Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Nas is the fucking greatest

[@DavidAndTheDummies]

yo, he was spot on about everybody stopping. I was living in arlington texas at the time and EVERYBODY was in tune and talking about it crazy. Picked up stillmatic the day it dropped.. good fucking memories

[@julio1017]

Jay-Z puts out his greatest album so far. Nas destroys him two months later.

[@lovememoremeticulous4378]

20 years later NAS is the ultra mastermind and a absolute prophet. Everything he spoke about in this time of darkness came to pass.

[@gavinsmith8356]

Nas smashed the whole ROC during that period.

[@051290ma]

I miss this Nas.

[@nasheedjones3539]

nas still the same tho

[@acehilm.]

+051290ma Nobody is ever going to be the same.

[@6CRAN]

this is why Nas is more of a powerful artist. Nas is in love with hip hop. Jay is in love with money. both are wonderful but as far as the ARTIST its Nas.

[@goonsquad9148]

perfectly said

[@dumisanid8733]

Hahaha "Jay was going around popping bottles like he killed the King" :-D :-D 5:45

[@blackezi3]

Other way around. Look at the Pac song "Me and My Girlfriend"... Pac said himself he got that song from listening to Nas' song "I Gave you Power"

[@ABsirur]

So Jay Z Me and My Girlfriend and entire career is owed to Nas lol

[@ZonedOutProductionz]

Rakim had the first 7 digit deal in rap

[@SuaveTitan]

Its called "Dont You Know" it was on Paid in full soundtrack

[@MrDanielfff777]

Jay z got destroyed

[@kavaunwilson1100]

Jay-z was accusing of stealing Krs-one's blueprint album and stealing Biggie's rap style and 2pac's song that's what Nas said

[@cibida1]

@BeenaBee "we takin honeys to the crib tonight, guaranteed we gonna get up in they rib tonight"

[@wdchr]

Good point. There are more inflections of Rakims sound in Nas' music. Not Tupac.

[@NotoriousNYNJ]

Classic NYC hip hop radio moment lmao

[@cibida1]

Being called God's Son is not hypocritical at all. The Christian belief is that we're all children of God. What is hypocritical about this interview (in part 1) is when Nas calls out Jay for dissing women, when Nas and the Bravehearts had songs like Oochie Wally and You Owe Me.

[@david_king_music]

this is Ether Pt 2

[@Theprophet524]

Thank you

[@QstormtheGod]

how it is a greal deal when nas came out sounding like Rakim? i think he compared his battle tactic to art of war 2pac aint the only one who spoke on that book

[@exceptionallife4768]

People talk was the only respectable joint jay Z made out that whole beef… Takeover was a good record like as a song on an album but beef with nas wise that was the only one close

[@mambaarmy24]

Can somebody let me know what this European hov song is?

[@Theprophet524]

Has anyone ever heard of the Jay-z song that Nas mentioned at 5:16

[@GireiPainRs]

Whats the beat on 7:00 whats the instrumental called and who rapped on that?

[@scarfacemmm]

well these song show him as a playa not dissinf women I guess if that what you think then biggie had to be the greatest women disser which is not true

[@mastershake5300]

haha str8 up

[@walterreally]

Don't know about the beef but Jay-Z is the most overrated rapper ever.

[@WelshDegenerate]

If hip-hop were a deck of cards... Em and Nas would be The Kings. Jay would be the Jack (er) and 50 and Lil Wayne would be The Jokers.

[@WelshDegenerate]

@HenchMc I couldn't care less about 50's life, he's a terrible rapper.

[@leonolivier3859]

Only thing I didn't like was after all the smoke clears, Nas join forces with his enemy. The same guy you exposed for being a scumbag. The same guy you said was the type of guy to kick you while you down. Jay bent over and crapped in a lot of people faces. Including the ones he called his friends. You showed us time and time again his hand. That he is really all for himself. I commend Nas for being a bigger man and squashing the beef. Really it was bigger than rap for him to do that. BUT. You can love from a distance. Wish no harm on that man and keep it moving. I understand that it's chess not checkers. I guess Nas seen where Jay was headed and he took action by jumping on that fantastic voyage. But it just seem like it had more to do with money than anything else. And that seem to be counterproductive for an intelligent brother like Nas. Almost like he sold out. But he still my Top 5 BOTTOMLINE!

[@RAakaCHI-191]

There is some misinformation regarding NaS signing with DefJam. NaS was signed by L.A. Reid, was given a $10million Bonus, no advance, a Bonus, to sign with DefJam and basically also squash the Beef with Jay-Z due NAACP and others getting involved in order to de-escalate the Beef and not letting get to Biggie & 2PAC level. They even had an interview with Sway of MTV and Jay-Z even said that you don't sign a Talent like NaS, you basically partner with NaS, so basically although Jay-Z was President of A&R for Def Jam and LA Reid was the actual CEO, NaS and Jay-Z were partners at Def Jam.

[@mackvelly8899]

Jay gave Nas better treatment than everyone else not named Rick Ross or Jeezy.
