Just watched this on Netflix last night, fire. What Nas and a lot of the 90's guys had when they approached the mic or hit the stage, etc... was that rawness, I don't even know if that's the right word but they had that raw electricity...that feeling, that uncut hip hop energy. Slightly dangerous, aggressive, ill af, raw shyt. You don't get that today from a Drake or a J Cole or Kid Cudi or Future or whoever else, no disrespect to any of them...shyt was just wild wild different. There was a scene in there when Nas hit the stage and started doing the 1st verse of "NYSOM", that shyt felt/looked/sounded so ill man. Smh, hip hop is over bro, lol.
