This isn’t the first time Nas has spoken on his debut, but the story never gets old. Before hitting the stage at Rock The Bells, Esco takes another trip down memory lane.
Nas, one of hip-hop’s most respected emcees, is set to hit Rock The Bells stages across the country, performing his classic debut album, Illmatic, in full. In this exclusive interview Nas breaks down the making of his debut, from Q-Tip’s original idea behind “One Love,” to DJ Premier’s integral part in crafting the album’s often-imitated sound.
Yeah a classic but Tupac still the greatest of all time. But Nas used to be my favorite rapper alive.
1st nas is one of the g.o.a.t.

I wanna go! but I know how Nas keeps forgettin his lyrics on stage…
One of the best albums of all time. East Coast hip hop is the best. Fuck the West! Fuck the South!
New York wins again!
Where are they now?
The name nas is synonymous to classics….illmatic,stillmatic,if i ruled the world,made you look,one mic,hero,you owe me…..etc
Actually the list goes like this : 1. West Coast Rap, 2. East Coast Rap, 3. The South, 4. The Midwest. I had to stay truthful even though Im from the midwest but we havent had the best rappers. Bone Thugs really tried and they give us a big boost, but it drops after that. Just Bone Thugs, Twista, and Kanye West and Common have been the biggest stars.
Made you look.
@Aj your obviously not from Detroit, bitch! putting the south before Midwest, you need a backhander.
meh
