[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”nas”]

Here’s the full eight minute documentary on Nas’ relationship with TDK cassette tapes. Directed by photographer Jonathan Mannion. Death to digital!

Nas goes deep reminiscing about cassettes, mixtapes and musical influences (Tribe Called Quest, MC Shan, Kurtis Blow & Queen, just to name a few) while reflecting on his early life in the Queensbridge housing projects.

  3. Young Mo Fo says:

    And niggas get mad that Drake sings…

    I didnt even do research and found out that one of Nas’ own favorite throwback rappers sang on his songs.
    Not to mention Eminem really put some singing onto a few songs.

    But nothing is real hip hop to some of ya.

  4. Yeah, says:

    ^^

    Yeah, but Em can’t sing, Kurtis can.
    Deny that and your stannery will show.

    would y’all please give Drake his dick back?….i’m pretty sure he wants to fuck some chick but y’all be on his dick so hard…..i think Drake tired of hearing his own damn name…i bet Drake be thinking “i wish these niggas would shut the fuck up.” lol………

    ……anyway……i bet Plies mind is too blank to even accept that Nas co-sign.

    Jesus Christ I got chills listening to this cuz I still have a box full of tapes I made when I was like 11, im 28 now. Thats when I fell in love with this shit. I still got a tape from 98′ when Flex played “Nas is Like” for the first time on Hot 97, he played that shit like 10 times back to back dropping crazy bombs!!! I was going crazy in my mom’s bedroom to that shit

  20. @ONEMANBEATS says:

    i still got my older brothers Sharp Radio like that one

  21. these young bucks don’t even know what a cassette smell like lol

  22. […] die link het niet doet moet je hier op […]

  23. hell yes says:

    Nas is the GOAT been that since 1994-present! Nas needs NOT to replicate his prime because what he spoke about at age 20 is defnitely not what he is living at age 37…EVOLVING is what a GREAT artist does!

  24. JBiggs says:

    Yoooo I got like 92 tapes in a box and that’s because I lost some of the other joints LOL…..them SA-90 joints with the dark gray color on them were the illest, they never popped in the deck. But the homie Nas had me laughin’ loud as hell when he said that he used to put the batteries in the freezer, I stayed doing that shit too and I still don’t know if that worked at all LMAO!
