Nas' Brother Jungle Revisits Their Childhood Apartment In Queensbridge
Музыка
SUBSCRIBE to VIBE: bit.ly/subvibe
This Saturday (April 19), marks the official 20th anniversary of Nas' classic debut, Illmatic. For the past two decades, the Queensbridge rapper's LP has remained in the top 5 list of "best rap albums" of all time. The trends and fashion may have changed in hip-hop, but this album hasn't gone anywhere.
In its honor, VIBE and Jungle went back to the very projects that raised Nas for a first hand tour of the hood. Little did we know that our journey would take us to the very apartment that started it all for Jungle and his older brother. This is the very first tour of apartment 5D aka Nas' childhood home.
Stay tuned for more!

Jungle really reps his brother man. That's what's up. Nas did the same when none of us knew who he was talking about. One 👆love 💖

well that plus everything we've heard from nas. never grew up in the projects or been to the projects but he paints the picture so clear in your mind, you right there on the block with em, right there looking out that project window.

I'm staying in QB right now for the time being. I still can't believe my rap hero is from here. This like Graceland for me but I definitely keep to myself. I'm only gonna be here for a lil while. Too many people got problems with life on these streets but thank God it's not 1994 here anymore. You can just tell these streets got stories to tell if the streets could speak.
Talk about Memory Lane.
From Nas demanding Jungle take his clothes off outside to both their reactions to the chipped tooth these memories are too funny and amazing. Great interview 👍👍
I wish I had a lil bro. Nas and Jungle sounded like they had a blast when they were younger. I'm just stuck with my sisters...

Jungle cool as a fan. Dude got a legendary brother and yet he plays his position. Jungle I see you man. I like yr style kid lol.
Great insight into the place that produced (in my opinion) the greatest rapper of all time. Illmatic still sounds as fresh today as it did 20 years ago, classic just isn't the word. There's something special about Queensbridge, for a single housing project to produce so many of the legends of Hip Hop is amazing. Respect from the UK.

Man you asked EXCELLENT questions!!! Many people may underestimate how potent this interview is. People all over take tours of caves, old buildings, hear tales from the elders, etc. Why should hip-hop be ANY different? answer is: its not. I sincerely enjoyed this interview more than anything I've seen recently. props to Jungle and Bad but the style of interview was on point. GREAT JOB MY MAN!!!
The way Jungle snapped on that I Am album intro with Horse is crazy. Love from South Africa Jung and Nasir

Great memories NAS IS THE GREATEST
It’s interesting how those old NewYork rap records are the perfect soundtrack to the city. Same way the Chronic & Doggystyle are the perfect soundtrack to L.A.
This the feelings i get when i go into my high school and old house across the street from it. I cant go back into my old house because some ppl living there now but i get chills each time i ride pass. Its more then just a building to you, its where you grew up at.
Be careful with that "this where IT all started talk" before KRS One misinterpret that joint again... Lol

@@Eagle7433 That's a good thing too that NY softened up I don't care what anybody says. Big difference between what you see on TV and then actually living life around these streets/projects. Nobody deserves to get hit with bullets flying out of nowhere or getting robbed cause you're not from there. I thank God NY got safer. Still.. one gotta never leave your guards down.

Big up to Jungle for doing this. I used to think Jungle was hard to get up with because you rarely see him.
It's crazy man I live in the hood and the projects of NYC and to see this it's just something makes me proud and smile that someone can be so successful coming out the hood. Most rappers now a days don't know what it's like to come out the hood and projects.
My boy Jungle!!! He a real 1
lmao he said I was taking the second doo doo of my life
Illmatic favorite album of all time. Was 13-14 and mesmerized by that shit man. Always wanted to see greatness in dude. Def made it
This was marvelous even though I already knew how my favorite rapper chipped his tooth but the way jungle told it and kinda in cinema form had me in tears and reminded me of how me and my brother was ,we need a nas movie frfr
This is great, props for getting it done. I also think this is the apartment shown in Nas' 'The World Is Yours (Q-Tip Remix)' video he did in '94.
cool to here stories about Nas and his lil brother Jungle...their relationship growing up reminds me of my lil bro, even though we didn't grow up as hard as they did.
Actually Speechless.. This is Epic.

Great interview one of the best videos I've ever seen
Im glad that Jungle added that there were also some good days growing up in the pj's
This was really dope.
Great introspective to a great artist who made a classic album
It's always great memories in the struggle if you think hard enough! Love for one's fam is King!

Jungle used to be a livewire back in the day. He was the dude setting shit off. Crazy loyal to his brother.
That chip tooth story was hilarious 😂😂😂
Good documentary for a legend
This video is gold love to jung!
Nothing like growing up in NYC….. having cyphers in the hallway drinking beer.. chilling heavy in the staircase
reppin Queens till my casket drop
I been to qb before. If you drive on the queensboro bridge, it looks like your riding over top of the buildings. Pretty cool view
That was nice;I enjoyed that.
That "large professor tec on your dresser" line from jay must've made Nas laugh his ass off.. him &his brodie been having techs since they was in short pants 😂🤦🏾♂️
Nas the best to ever do it untouchable. Love jungle too real guy.
Food on a string

'Let me take a trip down memory lane'
It’s gotta suck to be a recording artist in your own right and have this dude constantly ask about your brother and not you. He takes in stride and holds it down for his brother, family and friends.

My crew is lampin ILL WILL STYLE . Check the chip toothed smile plus I profile wild. Stash loot in fly clothes burning dollars to light my stog, walk the block with a bop. Checking dames plus the games people play bust the problems of the world today. The 🌍 Is Yourz.
Same spot that Nas - Nas Is Like has been recorded!
spitting image of his father but Jung the man out there the whole Ps know that man.
That's the same living room they shot "the world is yours (remix)" video in!
