Nas: Time Is Illmatic is scheduled to be available on demand, iTunes, and other VOD providers October 3.
Nas: Time Is Illmatic focuses on the making of Illmatic, Nas’ 1994 acclaimed debut album.
The film features Nas “returning to his childhood home in Queensbridge, Nas shares stories of his upbringing, his influences — from the music of his jazz musician father Olu Dara to the burgeoning Hip Hop scene in New York City — and the obstacles he faced before his major label signing at age 19,” according to a press release. “Featuring interviews with his Illmatic producers (Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S., and DJ Premier) and musical peers (including Pharrell Williams and Alicia Keys), Nas: Time Is Illmatic is a thrilling account of Nas’ evolution from a young street poet to a visionary MC.”

I just skeeted down his throat
One night screenings cause they smell a flop.
Or a success.
Lmfao this washed up negro still eating from Illmatic
Yeah, Nas is washed up. Check his numbers, don’t think he’s washed up. If he can still reap some $$$$ of Illmatic, why should he not pursue it. If people are interested in seeing the documentary, they’ll do it. If you could care less, why even bother to comment if it’s not something you’re interested in? Go jump off a cliff
But not one in NY though, I don’t understand that shit
I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I feel even an average modern rapper like Lil Wayne can light Nas up. Wayne has different type of deliveries, while Nas always sounds the same. Sounds like he never left the 90s.
you sound like a 13 year old school girl. stop reaching with that nonsense. wayne a never have a illmatic album. meaning a timeless classic. now go to your room and put away your toys
It’s so funny listening to the same tired ass old comments from people who can’t appreciate good lyrics. What do you mean exactly? Never left the 90’s? WTF does that mean? Do you like Nas? If so, STFU and enjoy his music. What does Wayne sound like? He’s good, don’t get me wrong, but half the time this clown just mumbles a bunch of sh*t sounding like he just came off a bad molly trip. GTFOH
my boy isn’t washed up. y’all too busy listening to junk. all his albums lyrically are 4-5 mics…. ALL OF THEM.
