Nas is such a legend. Stillmatic has aged beautifully.

8:41 He was speaking facts!! and I noticed that too. Jay mentioned Nas or used a nas reference on all his albums up to Blueprint. despite all the success Jay-Z has and worked hard for it without a doubt. But he was definitely influenced by Nas.

Wow, never realized Jay dropped Reasonable Doubt a week before It Was Written. Even back then he dropped his projects at the same time as Nas

Truth is Nas is who Jay-Z crafted his career over. So many people don’t remember or know how incredibly anticipated, respected and admired Nas was when he dropped. That’s where the term God Son comes from. Nas’ analogy is the Jesus of rap, as in the gift from god in rap. Jay has always been jealous of that aura and blinded by it in his approach to the game.

Stillmatic and The Blueprint are number 1 and 2 in my top favourite albums of all time. And they're both older than me. I was born in 2002.

I'm from the UK and every weekend on radio 1 it was Tim Westwood's show. At this time in 2001 I was in high school at that age when music was everything. This was my era. I remember listening to this interview at the time. Thanks for the upload! Nas killed it! He took it back.

MC Shan recording from 1985 to 2017 MC Shan is one of the most underated Poetic MC's of all times ...His first 2 Albums "Down By Law" and "Born To Be Wild" are bonified Classics . My nick name for him is Mr First . He was the first to do a smooth flow minus the screaming when he first appeared on the records called Marly Scratch and Cuts So Fresh in 1985. MC Shan was also the first MC to diss LL Cool J on "Beat Biter". To which Def jam ordered LL Cool J not to respond. He was the first to make a diss record calling the opposition by the actual name in his diss record against LL Cool J . He was almost unarguably the first to drop lyrics inspired from the lessons of the five percent nation, this is displayed in the rhymes, he did against L Cool J on his record called Beat Biter. He was the first to make a classic hip hop love blues ballad in "Left Me Lonely ". He was the first to metaphor a drug into a woman in Classic stand alone single "Cocaine" 1986. He was first to make a bonafide classic hit single with a song for his hood in the "Bridge" . He was the first to rock a particular type of multi syllabic flow while taking Hip Hop to Syfy on the single " MC Space" off the Down By Law album . Shan was also the first to do a great hip hop anthem in the song called "Living In The World of Hip Hop ". On his second album "Born To Be Wild " he was the first to verbally make a record scratch style with his word in the middle of his flow in the song "Words To My Freestyle".Shan's "I Pioneered This " was one of the 2 records that help inspired Nas to write "ain't hard to tell " . Shan the first Prince of Rap who didn't have to scream his lyrics on record. He is Mr First.... Oh yeah his second album was actually better than his first .......

I don't like the comment that this radio disc jockey made about Shan....... Shan did an excellent job of representing himself in the first album even in conflict with krs-1. MC Shan album was truly the first Hood album made, order to represent his hood he has to represent by telling stories about his hood . And furthermore MC Shan second album was better lyrically than his first album . On that second album juice crew laws, which was as good a battle record as anybody made in the juice crew.
