Yea, there's no way that kid found Nas on his own at that age. Must be his Dad or Uncle put him on or something. My own son is still listening to YouTuber music. LOL. I mean it's possible but I'm just thinking how did he find Nas and how would a kid that age even understand the things that Nas is saying for it to even hit home for him. Nas is only 7 years my senior so I get it naturally but this doesn't know the streets, pain and real life like that yet. LOLLL. Not hating. Just saying.
His father was right next to him rapping all the lyrics too. It's its def his father who put him on.

I’ve seen nothing but positive comments about that Nas show. Everyone says he absolutely killed it. Another song that looked dope was that I’m on fire and the pressure.
That 'I'm on fire' was dope as fukk.
That intro and everything
:banderas:

Watching most of the video it’s crazy how humble Nas is for a dude who’s had so much sucess. Giving props to the fans bowing down to Rick etc he’s still just a regular dude

Some other dudes with that level of fame in the game seem totally unapproachable and act like they’re above the fans

I will say Nas seemed most hype performing 30 and seemed to be letting out all his agression he’s had for all the slick comments over the years lol

i always feel in some ways Nas came up in the wrong era. Nas was on the 'woke' (hate the term) conscious street shyt from day 1. But hip hop in the mainstream wasn't in that space in the 90s and 00s the way it is now.

Like back then I Gave You Power just wasn't seen as a song to release as a single. Nowadays that with a video would go crazy.

I think it actually speaks to the fact that he's timeless. He is great in any era.

You are right because Kendrick and Cole are two of the biggest rappers of this generation top 10 in Rap history for sales and both are conscious mcs, Nas would have been even bigger in this generation in terms of sales.
