Before this interview, Dr. Knockboot was lost in obscurity; now it’s trending on Twitter! Nas is the GOAT! Illmatic set the stage for this man to rip the page. Legend.

The band went into his song "The World Is Yours" at the end! Nas is a legend!

No bs, Illmatic changed my live.

Low key one of his funniest songs.

I was 10 and still remember hearing “If I Rules The World” on the radio for the first time! We didn’t realize how lucky we were as kids in the 90’s before 911.

The way he answered Stephen’s “why have you stayed relevant” question with complete humility only further proves his innate ability with the English language

Halftime is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all-time.

Nas still has the babyface, but also getting a little chubby I see haha

Nas & Colbert doing a duet of Lou Rawls’ “You’re Gonna Miss My Love” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen and it was just merely laid to the side as a throwaway. “Untitled” was 2008.

Listen to the song Daughters. He was 41 when it came out. First of all, it features some of his tightest rhymes since Made You Look. Yes, it's that good. But the content is also mind blowing. Who else writes a song in any genre about being a parent to a teenager? I can't think of anyone. Yet Nas does this and knocks it out of the park without sounding silly. Fucking brilliant.
