I still can't fathom that Nas was able to create an album like illmatic at such a young age. It's insane to see how advanced In years and skills he was.
It's easy to make music, making music that matters... different story "ILLMATIC". Man, I remember the Bouncers were dissing NAS, he left by that time. They were like "this dude had a beach towel and did 4 songs with a bomber jacket on?!) Some hate indeed but it was a memory I had of that day. 10:32 i'm 18 here. Fronting on stage with Tuffy from Video Music Box. Now 20yrs. later we're both part of the cast of the "EASTWILLYB" Web-Series.
Off top I brung Queens up from hard times **Rocking at the Fever**, streets was all mine It was my version of the blues, dropping out schools The crack epidemic had rap representing the rules - Nas -Realest N Alive
Obi Won yea but nas also said “as I grow yearly, I see things more clearly” so yea old nasty nas is definitely better but he grew n see shit ain’t the same so he working wit money now but nas till I die
@Scarzitti yeah I know I'm in my 30s I remember this time clearly.. but it's still 1994 cuz them singles he performed one love and the world is yours came out after illmatic was already released
You didn't understand what I said. You didn't read it as I wrote it. I said about the video there were more black people supporting hiphop then. It was everyone but I go by fact as living in that era and being there. I didn't say anything about about white people not listening to in back in the day that wasn't my point. Never said that. I am speaking on black people. Summer Jam Wu tang clan didn't get the love they were shown back in the day.
why you got to come to that. there are lot's of hard core hiphop heads that were bumping illmatic that werent black its just more white ppl like now thats a good thing
@sirjcmr1978 first off stop being disrespectful homie.. and it's 1994 not 93 illmatic was already in stores illmatic came out April of 1994 come on man do ur homework tony just made a error
Never said white people that listen to it is a bad thing now a days haha. I go to rock the bells and our people who started the hiphop movement are not there representing. Don't read too much into I have close friends from many nationalities including white aight peace!
Nas and AZ performing Life’s a Bitch in NY in 94 is history

Nas was 20 by the time he dropped Illmatic. Not since a 19 year old Rakim dropped Paid In Full in 1987 have we seen someone like this again until Nas.
Look as little Shyheim. I was such a big Nas and Shyheim fan back in the days, that I ended up naming my 2nd born son Nasir Shyheim.
They both dropped their debut albums the same day too, April 19, 1994
A young Nas performing NY state of mind in-front of a NY audience in 94 is historical footage, what a time to be alive..
Damm NASTY NAS with the bubble jacket and a philly blunt in his hand 1994 was sickkkk
Golden era
Its 2023, almost 30yrs later, and Nas just dropped AOTY in Magic 3.
A Poet born in a musical family.

Classic NAS !
94 Nasty Nas. Unparalleled.
Best opening song in illmatic and any other album who agrees??
The young God shyheim in the club! Love it!!
It's 1994: Shyheim appearing w/o the Wu, the songs performed and the Illmatic posters. (Add at the beginning where he says "Illmatic just came out")
this footage man... powerful .. #Queens
Wow! Look at Shyheim man! This some dope shit right here.
They both dropped their debut albums the same day too! April 19, 1994!
I thought Shyheim was going to be the next Nas around that time. He was making noise big time. Mad it didn't work out that way.
He had a police situation
And Shyhiem’s first album dropped same day as Nas’ first album.
AkA Da Rugged Child (April 19, 1994)
Illmatic (April 19, 1994)

Obi Won nobody better than Nas Escobar
Obi Won yea but nas also said “as I grow yearly, I see things more clearly” so yea old nasty nas is definitely better but he grew n see shit ain’t the same so he working wit money now but nas till I die
Nas competition has always been himself
