Nas Never Thought He'd Record An Album In Wyoming

[@PartVIII]

Nas is like half man half amazing

[@player1111ful]

[@sTreek90]

FACTS

[@mannymedrano308]

His poetry's deep, it never fails!!!

[@whiskeySe7en]

He is on the highest plateau of hip hop lyricism that exists. Modern rappers don't even compare. If he isn't in your top 5 dead or alive you don't know hiphop

[@MrJonsonville5]

Damn straight

[@clarissar1528]

[@g3n1us2000]

[@angelarballo4478]

He's one of the greats, but that doesn't necessitate him being top five.

[@jonathanogundeji4342]

Best comment I've seen describing Nas

[@20jallow]

NAS is so shy and humble. My favorite rapper of all time after 2pac.

[@iconicdiego7085]

20jallow I think he is a little intimidated by Stephen because when he was with Kimmel he wasn’t very shy

[@djnation1148]

I think he’s better

[@freshlikeuh8254]

shy? dafuq?

[@3-methylindole730]

Nas ain't shy, I don't know what you're talking about.

[@htrubenstein7261]

Humble? May want to listen to his latest album

[@devinpondexter6898]

Nas has the cleanest fade haircut since the 90's.

[@soroushai2374]

Fax his haircuts are always nice

[@changchengxu2784]

Hands down, one of the best MC in the history!

[@sTreek90]

Changcheng Xu top 5 for me easily

[@IBODEGAI]

Arguably THEE best of all time. The older I get the more I appreciate his music.

[@hazard1371]

Eminem should be here.

[@Ranbutch75]

In my top 5 too

[@joshnippleton3449]

Lil Pump would rap circles round his old ass.

[@HighOnAmmo]

glad Nas at least acknowledges many of his fans are older and don't mind watching late night shows. Good on him for making an appearance.

[@stevedonahue7956]

PolSmokesPot ! nah today has been awesome

[@wonzaga2643]

I think he just likes the show

[@TheBlackFuton]

Nas is such a humble legend. But I guess when you got nothing to prove you just move to your own rhythm.... Kingly

[@stacia6714]

Yes, he is and yessss👑💪🏾

[@delaheart]

NAS never ages !

[@valentinesgiftshop799]

Ikr.. He looks under 30

[@KurtisC93]

It's like God himself looked down on the rappers of the 90s and bestowed upon them the gift of agelessness.

[@Rhombus333]

Just like Pharrell I swear!

[@celeste1737]

I swear this man just doesn't age! Definitely top 5 in history of rap and hip hop

[@EyonDreams]

his cool cadence, and laid back style is instrumental to his longevity and calculated continuity

[@tbohfela]

We love Nas out here in the MOTHERLAND.....one of the best and most relatable MCs ever. Cant wait to see him on the 2nd February 2019 in South Africa.

[@klap215philly4]

Nas is the greatest ever!!! It was written! Nasir!

[@shyxox]

1991 to 2018 this guy still rocks the MIC...

His most underrated album imo!

[@honestabe6497]

He best is the duet album with marley

[@JadedMuse2]

My favorite rapper and my favorite album of his is The Lost Tapes.

To be 45 and look like this.. You know Nas dont stress about shit. Even making an album can wait

Nas is aging really well. Looks exactly the same from the 90s.

[@chrisharvey5991]

Ik lol I would not be suprised if he had just finished high school 😂

[@User_32]

Nas seems like a good dude. A lot of the time musicians especially rappers take themselves too seriously and don't know how to take a joke. Nas is not one of those people.

[@keetopuffs]

Still a sexy man. One mic opened my heart back in the g. All these years and he is still a poet.

[@YouFightLikeACow]

This is a delightful interview

[@dagawd2271]

I was 10 and still remember hearing “If I Rules The World” on the radio for the first time! We didn’t realize how lucky we were as kids in the 90’s before 911.

[@syedisamuddin7188]

We gotta learn from his ability to stay calm.

[@nomadinkstudio]

Before this interview, Dr. Knockboot was lost in obscurity; now it’s trending on Twitter! Nas is the GOAT! Illmatic set the stage for this man to rip the page. Legend.

[@mariaa.396]

This man has not aged a day.

[@ronniewells5231]

Nas is 45? Black really don't crack haha.

He look like an old 18 year old. He look young as heck but you know he's older.

[@thedivineexpression]

Yep. That’s how sarcasm works 🙂

[@sTreek90]

Illmatic is the greatest hip hop album ever

[@ctcmonk]

One of.. not THE greatest... imo

[@Da_Most_Shady]

I guess you have never heard Ready To Die. You should check it out. It's pretty good.

[@amadeuschavez.]

I’m not even the biggest Nas fan but yes, Illmatic is a fucking masterpiece. Best rap album ever made, it’s not too long, every song is enjoyable to where you don’t skip anything. The lyrics, the beats, everything is just perfect

[@torrancebragg7486]

To the naysayers, consider the fact that Nas was 16 or 17 when he wrote Illmatic.

[@michaeltravnicek3821]

After Tupac-Me against the World

[@bridge4]

lol. Dr. Knock Boots

[@schnikta1991]

lol! one of my hidden gems! and he actually mentioned it!!!!! even though it wasnt an honorable mention, he still metioned MY jam! lol

[@bubbathenaslover]

His worst song by far

[@Cevensities]

Joey N. You buggin yo. 'Oochie Wally' was a club banger when it dropped. That's still one of my favs, beat wise....one of the illest samples. 'Dr. Knockboots' and 'Braveheart Party' are two of his worst tho, real talk. Neva liked either of those.

[@Dynasty19]

Actually wasn’t a bad song but he’s right about it being a little cheesy

[@kenny2k822]

Low key one of his funniest songs.

[@DrTurdsley]

Halftime is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all-time.

[@zislec]

No bs, Illmatic changed my live.

[@modona100]

What a legend!

[@thomasrainbow]

The band went into his song "The World Is Yours" at the end! Nas is a legend!

[@toneriggz]

I never thought I'd hear "Dr. Knockboots" referenced on a Late Night TV show. Yet here we are.

Look at Nas he is my dads friend and my dad said when they were younger in queens bridge Nas used to call him lil born or potty 🤣

Facts

[@TheLWebb100]

He sold 8 albums platinum, that's damn accomplished.

[@boomboom7364]

dway music He's a millionaire who loves what he do. What's your idea of His accomplishment?

[@taffygore6285]

As compared to some of his peers . I get you bruh !

[@zhyonflowers4514]

I think you mean hes not the most famous/popular, because he is definitely well accomplished.

[@xavieraguirre1325]

Illmatic and Life is Good are both fine pieces of art. The start up and coming of age. A legend and so many people sleep on him. The west coast loves you Nasty Nas 🙏🏼

[@azzis92]

i listen to life is good every day man !

[@Wolferine07]

Listen to the song Daughters. He was 41 when it came out. First of all, it features some of his tightest rhymes since Made You Look. Yes, it's that good. But the content is also mind blowing. Who else writes a song in any genre about being a parent to a teenager? I can't think of anyone. Yet Nas does this and knocks it out of the park without sounding silly. Fucking brilliant.

[@NotoriousNYNJ]

[@rasarmusic1]

Nas & Colbert doing a duet of Lou Rawls’ “You’re Gonna Miss My Love” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen and it was just merely laid to the side as a throwaway. “Untitled” was 2008.

[@maxeddie1789]

The way he answered Stephen’s “why have you stayed relevant” question with complete humility only further proves his innate ability with the English language

What a damn intelligent answer, that there is a section of people who aren't being catered to in hip-hop, and that shifting to their areas of concern would do well. What a refreshing answer to the knee-jerk "I remember where I'm from" crowd.

“speak with criminal slang”… “i’m waving automatic guns at nuns” illmatic is a timeless masterpiece ahead of its time came out the same year i was born 1994 crazy to think about but nas helped me transition over to hip hop back in the day from being a metalhead all my life playing guitar(and still keeping it brutal) but my life changed when i heard illmatic guys like big L mobb deep wu tang aesop rock will always be my favorite style of hip hop. i’m from the west coast and i get a lot of shit when i say this but 90s east coast underground scene was by far the golden era in hip hop nothing compares! i’m a hardcore metalhead always will be those are my roots but New York 90s rap will always have a special place in my heart. thank you nas, big L rip, prodigy rip, mf doom rip, ol dirty bastard rip, etc.. for changing my life. word is bond keep it brutal keep it gangsta:)
