I highly doubt that he's depressed, nas has always been known as a mellow, low-key chill type of guy since the illmatic dayz.. Another aspect that has been well known about nas since illmatic is that he's a legendary hip hop artist. Regarding the concept that he backed down from the "lyrics don't matter" question, nas is a smart dude who knows when interviewers are trying to stir up conflict in the game, therefore he handled it in a well and "real" type manner, Nas is a "thinker" period.
@mackmath777 no no No. Nas has always been a mellow young fellow but not mellow enough for his shoulders to fall on the ground like jello. Sorry I am having fun with my thoughts but Nas is obviously being threated or something because before he was like Hip Hop Is Dead now he is like no I don't care and opinions he wasn't like that. You can party to lyrical music and Nas knows that.
"When you're four years into the game, we can have a conversation Eight years in the game, I invite ya on vacation Ten years in the game, after I've enjoyed my fame Only then I let ya pick my brain, niggaz" - Nas from "Let There Be Light"
nas is my dude, but his interviews are frustrating. Nigga is vague as fuck about any & everything. I mean no insight, one sentence reponses to questions that demand elaboration and introspection. It's one thing if he's guarded about his personal life, but he never offers us nothing into how his mind works. He persona also makes it difficult for interviewers to call him out on it cuz they know he is either gonna react poorly or not offer interviews to them in the future. give us something nigga!
@PoetWhittier the reason it seems that way is cuz nas is on another level spiritually and mentally. he choose his words with wisdom and grace, not to say anything he doesnt want to be said. some cats at interviews be blastin off about they albums and they styles and say some shit you know when they hear it later they gotta be like " i said that shit? naaaaawwwww"
@7p7o7o7p7i7e theres a difference between wise and being abstruse. His response was neither measured nor calculated in purpose. It was only superficial. Granted, Nas owes me (nor any fan for that matter) nothing but hot records. Even so, it'd be nice to gain some insight into the inner workings of his mind, which I admire and, at times covet. Not asking for self-aggrandizement; just a peak into his thought process and how he develops and constructs content and concepts, subtle things like that.
I'm studyin Nas body language and he looks very depressed, and for him to comment on the "lyrics don't really matter" the way he did is just not him, seems like he's backin down from catchin heat from other rappers..I've seen him in alot of interviews and follow his lyrics from cd to cd and that can't be how he really feels, but anyway much love to Nas and Damian, luv them both
@queenray1 alot of people who knew him said that hes just a very introverted person, who suffers occasionally from depression and a lack of motivation, like many artistic creative people. in a social climate like this one, its not surprising that someone with what they feel is an important message could get depressed. thats why phil ochs offed himself.
@queenray1 LOL he backin down from catching heat from other rappers? Yeah right... This interview was done right around the time he and Kelis officially divorced, which is likely why he's looking so depressed.
@queenray1 well, hes probably still depressed about his divorce with kelis and the fact that he has to pay 55,000 per month worth of child support. I would be depressed too.
randome question, I noticed that between the interviews 10 or more years ago, and now. Nas' voice has got really gritty. In here its really gritty but in the older interviews it was a little softer.
Why is this? Because of his cigar/cigarette/marijuanah smoking?
i noticed it recently as well, as i have been a long time fan of nas... but, there could be many reasons for the change in voice, a smoking habit, aging, which causes vocal chords to tense and sound differently than they did, and possibly the fact that he is using his voice differently to sound more mature in interviews/rhymes, like eminem and shyne. eminem used to sound nasal and inner city in all his shit, now his voice is clearer and the accent is gone, deliberately.
hes surprisingly stupid sounding in this interview. i feel like hes not really getting the questions that the interviewers are asking. if he was more intelligent he would answer the questions precisely.
what a let down, I guess he can only "sound" smart in his lyrics. I thought he was an actual leader.
and the quote by Rudyard Kipling posted in the intro of his made u look video, he took it outta context and changed the meaning to something more or a superiority complex.
I would expect a real hiphop dude like Nas to address the wack rappers situation like wacka flocka a whole lot better...stop copping out & set the fucking record straight!!!!!!!! the shit is FUCKING GARBAGE!!!!!!!...if it didnt bother you then you would'nt bother being a supreme lyricist...time to lock & load on garbage rappers!!!!
@69ways2sunday I agree 1000% but the truth of the matter is wack ass rappers got the right to be wack ass rappers.. why bother??? its like protesting against homosexuality you cant stop it!!
I love Nas...I met him and he was really down to earth. Whoever said he fake then they need to say Jay-Z fake too. As he said everyone gonna do what they wanna do.
hahahahah.Nas be smoking to much Ganja!!! he is high..i be watching his interviews and he be acting slow but when u hear his albums he's energetic.sometimes he sober other times i don't know if he just don't get enough sleep or what.
the album is so ill it seems fake to me thats how crazy it is like did he really jus say that nahh>>>is this really happening>>>are people even listening to this album they really need to like they life depended on it.

@DJglasgowSon Yeah, come to think about it, thats right about, Em.
I really like Nas' gritty voice, I like gritty voices anyways, I dont know why?
Just do.
I think smoking can be a big factor.
His voice has always been gritty but just not as much as it is not, only slightly back in his pre-illmatic interview.
eldiablo9604 1 year ago

yeah, 4sure. nas' gritty voice suits him well, and gives his newer shit more of a documentary feel to it, makes it sound more epic, sounds great!
