Nas speaking on 'It Was Written' album 1996.

[uno]

The best MC, he never slowed down like all other rappers.

[_alltheseprettylights_]

All of his work is ahead of its time. Even modern times.

[blackceasar]

25 years! Word to Nas for being true to his craft, a messenger, and the greatest MC. Bless up

[frshanimal]

The way he speaks it's like he's rappin already

[PetoGee]

"Thirty years later, who woulda knew dude would be nice?" Nas - Moments

[MichaelBatmanKeaton]

Bro imagine being an MC during '96 the competition was immense everybody was in their prime n Nas outlasted all of em definition of the greatest of all time

[Q.B..L.B.]

His whole style is genuine and flawless...goat

[leemajors]

I thought he was as grown as man at the time. Now as a middle aged man, I realize that he was a kid with talent. Perspective is crazy!

[michaelmykey]

Goated.

Fast forward to today, King’s Disease 2 is a masterpiece I’m honored to witness such greatness in my lifetime.

[darklight]

Nas was trying to tell us about Manifestation at a young age. Biggie wrote he's ready to die and unfortunately it came to pass. Nas speaks life into his album titles.. I Am, Life's Good etc.

[lbseason]

Nas raps for the people.. "Cause everybody is going thru the same thing"- Nasir

[lightbearer.]

Nas IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE the greatest mcee to ever bless the mic in my opinion no one has ever affected or influenced the hip hop culture better than Nas did. illmatic is a timeless masterpiece ahead of its time and will continue to influence many more up incoming artists in the years to come.

I was born 1996/7 and still listening to Nas dats krzy this is why you make a timeless and a generational music

[BYTHEHYMENOFOLIVIANEWTONJOHN]

I swear to God I wish I had a time machine to transport me back to this era.

He truly is half man half amazin'.
