The Nas Documentary "Time is Illmatic"

[Wall]

Help a Hong Kong breh eat. Can't order anywhere and we need Nas' inspiration now more than ever with the occupy movement

Didn't see 93 till but that Tribe shyt

This illmatic shyt was coo

Spoiler

The context of what has transpired in Nas's life was enlightening--nothing super new but you get a glimpse of the emotion he and Jungle have around growing up in NY, their pops not being around, Ill Will being killed, and their moms passing

(God bless the dead but anyone feel that Nas is partially responsible for Will getting clapped after accounting what transpired before his death )

The analysis, albeit cursory, of what was going on in NY culturally provides a social landscape for understanding the poetic and sonic landscape that's illmatic so that was kind of dope

I kind of wish they would have done a track by track exploration that would've delved deeper into the substance of the tracks, what inspired them, and why the production was selected

Overall, shyt just felt kind of disjointed and shallow at times but it does give you a general feel for why Nas and illmatic are important to hip-hop so it does an adequate job as a documentary--shyt was entertaining but could've been better

93 till is one of the best hip hop docs about rappers I've seen,, it's on the level of the tribe doc

Is the TIL INFINITY doc online anywhere? Couldn't find it

 

[H.S.]

Dope documentary. I thought Nas' pops and Jungle were the best voices in the documentary. Love the part when Nas shouted out Tragedy, too.

my homeboy hit me with the doc this morning
just need to re-up on these herbals and Im in there

I'm not into bootlegging and asking for anything the gawd does for free, but given overseas restrictions and the fact this doc wont drop here for 3 weeks (the London Premiere next at the Film Festival is sold out), if anyone could drop a heads up on when the VOD-Rip might be available, shyt would be much appreicated

Can't wait for this to hit StarzinBlack, Cinemax, or whatever DirecTV channel that first premiered The Tribe Called Quest doc
