Real Name : Nasir Jones
Born : Sept 14th 1973
Hometown : Long Island, NY

NAS Biography :

Born Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones on September 14, 1973, son of jazz musician Olu Dara, Nas dropped out of school in the eighth grade, trading classrooms for the streets of the rough Queensbridge projects, long fabled as the former stomping ground of Marley Marl and his Juice Crew as immortalized in "The Bridge." Watching Godzilla movies and reading Iron Man comic books did nothing but spur his imagination as his father often brought him to the studio or on tour. During this time, Nasir was listening to his father’s Curtis Mayfield records and being introduced to hip-hop by the Allie brothers in his project building.

Nas Escobar had plans of becoming a producer/DJ, but unfortunately, he was too poor to afford turntables and a beat machine, so Nas escobar did the next best thing : pick up a pencil to write his first rap. Through a chance encounter, Nas hooked up with and rapped for an impressed Large Professor. His advanced flow and unheard-of-rhyme-schemes compelled LP to give this young QB native a chance.

Nas did not disappoint as he exploded onto the rap scene in 1991 on Main Source’s "Live At The BBQ" posse cut. Threatening to "kidnap the President’s wife without a plan," Nas escobar let the hip-hop world know that he "went to hell for snuffing Jesus." Afterwards, after blessing the Zebrahead soundtrack with "Halftime," Nas met MC Serch through Large Professor and was given the opportunity to work on a "Live At The BBQ" sequel, "Back To The Grill Again." Although his verse was short, Nas escobar shined the most brightly alongside veterans such as Chubb Rock and managed to keep his name alive in the industry. Finally, MC Serch brought Nas to Faith Newman, Director of A&R at Columbia Records, and broke a deal for Nasty Nas.

April 19, 1994 was a landmark in hip-hop history as Nas’ debut album was released. The magical combination of producers like DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, L.E.S, and Q-Tip combined with the effortless heartfelt poetics of Nasty Nas to create “Illmatic”, which received an unexpected, yet well-deserved 5 mics from the then-credible rap Bible, "The Source."

From appearing on the Street Fighter soundtrack to rapping with Kool G Rap, Nas escobar spent the remainder of 1994 and all of 1995 confirming the high expectations that had been thrust upon him with the release of Illmatic. One notable achievement was his prolific verse on "Verbal Intercourse" on Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album.

Apparently possessed, Nas received a Source Quotable as he had the distinction of being the only non-Wu-member to be allowed on a Wu album (until Ras Kass appeared on Bobby Digital) when the Clan was undeniably the greatest group at the time and were strictly keeping guest appearances inside the fam. Listed as Nas Escobar, he attacked the prison system and dropped urban philosophy. Regardless, his biggest and proudest accomplishment in life came after in the birth of his only daughter Destiny Jones with his girlfriend Carmen. Perhaps these two extra mouths to feed initiated his decision to approach the next album with a more accessible direction.

With anticipation building and patience wearing thin, the release of It Was Written on July 02, 1996, was heavily scrutinized by the discerning public. Under new management, Nas fell victim to the sophomore jinx-not because the quality of the tracks were less than his debut, but because of various circumstances. His second album, “It Was Written”, further explored many of the themes touched on in his debut, such as black-on-black crime, inner city violence, racial prejudice, urban politics and social pressures. Released on July 02, 1996, “It Was Written” was heavily scrutinized by the discerning public. Another beef that stemmed from “It Was Written” was between Nas and his boy Cormega (he had even shouted him out on Illmatic’s "One Love").

Nas’ plan was to create a supergroup called The Firm, which consisted of himself, Foxy Brown, Cormega, and AZ with Dr. Dre & The Trackmasters on production. They had made their official debut on "Affirmative Action," dropped a few mixtape freestyles, and collaborated for the occasional b-sides. At this time Nas’ manager wanted Cormega to sign an exclusive deal with Trackmasters, but when Cormega refused, he was replaced by unknown newcomer Nature. The show must go on, however, and on October 21, 1997, The Firm The Album was released. Mixed feelings arrived as the Dr. Dre banger "Phone Tap" appeared with the shiny "Firm Biz" and it seemed that Nas escobar was definitely not the second coming of Rakim.

It was 1998 and Nas escobar had been limiting himself to guest-appearances and after a three-year hiatus, he release “I Am . . . The Autobiography”, a double-disc LP for 1999. The timing was wrong, however, as bootlegging had began to get rampant on the internet and the streets. Thus, Nas was forced to return to the studio and record new tracks. The world thereafter became hungry when "Nas Is Like" was released on vinyl- DJ Premier and Nas together again-and heads expected much more than Nas escobar would be capable of providing. April 06, 1999, came and the public was disappointed by an above-average (but not on Nas’ standards) release that was full of potential, but failed.

“Nastradamus”, his fourth studio album, was released on November 23, 1999 and proved to be his worst album ever. Just when hope had faltered and the once messiah-regarded lyricist was cast aside as just another MC, Nas appeared on CNN’s "B EZ" with the same hunger he had on "Live At The BBQ." What followed was outstanding guest-appearance after guest-appearance for the next few months and the QB Finest project, which reunited Cormega and Nas on Da Bridge 2001.

Dear Nas

I have easy question for you, just only one.

In your song you use african languages like for eg. Amharic ( In Africa my people are "deha" ). The Question :- Any one of your parents are from Ethiopia or you learn such words from Ethiopian friends ?

Nas is one of the most criticaly acclaimed lyricist in hip hop history.He can capture ears on a hood struggle concept,or flip it around and slay niggas on that gangsta shit.The reason so many real niggas respect Nas is cause he always spit that raw and uncut,and never had to pull publicity stunts to move units.Nas is one of the realest niggas in the game right now.Much respect.

jay z always rap about girls girls girls,money and hoes there’s more shit to life than that. listen to Nas and u may learn a thing to it.his lyrics changes lives how many lives has jay-z changed all he knows is to bite rhymes from the pros.(ex. Biggie r.i.p). Nas is the god of this rap thing he had the thrown in 94 aint 2pac said he was the ring leader of eastcoast rappers,jay grew up off that shit every time Nas rhyme it’s like he tellin niggaz a story you can just picture everything in your head if you r smart as he’s and iam.Fuck this nigga Jay z,imma be in NY real soon and he will stop hating on Nas..........Ghana always repping everywhere,shit.

> nas escobar, by TRUTH [2006-07-11 07:52:04]

NAS IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE !!! PEROID. HIS LYRICAL SKILLS CANT BE COMPARED TO ANY OTHER MC’S. HE IS THE LAST STANDING TRUE HIPHOP SOILDER AFTER PAC AND BIGGIE. NAS IS ALWAYS TRUE TO HIS WORDS, HE DOSENT LET THE FAME GET TO HIM.ON THE OTHER HAND, JAY-Z IS JUST ALL ABOUT GETTING THE MONEY AND FAME. HIS SONGS ARE NOT INSPIRATIONAL. SO WHY WOULD ANY NORMAL HUMAN BEING WASTE HIS OR HER TIME LISTENING TO STUFF THAT DOSENT INSPIRE THE SOUL ? PS - NAS WON’T BRING OUT HIS WOMAN ON STAGE, AND SATRT SLAPPING HER ASS.

> nas escobar, by ssssssss [2006-06-29 16:15:03]

I Got a Few things to say rite, Nas is my 2nd favourite rapper of all time rite afta 2pac. i got every nas album out & i cant wait 4 his new album. i wana see how good it will be now hes with def jam & jay-z. as hes also one my favourite rappers, but dont get me wrong nas murdered jay with ether & Jay will neva be as deep as Nas. Nas is best rapper alive & i hope he gets that 50 cent popstar bitch to shut up. Hip Hop Is dead now that 50 cent came along, only good rappers left are kanye & the game, and a cuple others. what happened to hip hop ? Nas is the only gud mc around these dayz ! Illmatic favourite album of all time !

> nas escobar, by Michelle,Bremen Germany [2006-06-27 15:15:14]

> nas escobar, by Valisha,Brooklyn,NY [2006-06-27 14:57:52]

Nas you r the man and you r hip hop.Pac and B.I.G are gone and you r the last real soldier left excuse me to say if you are also gone hip hop is dead but am sure God will let you stick around to tell those selfish niggaz like Jay z the truth.

> nas escobar, by nough skrilla from Nima Ghana. [2006-06-23 17:49:01]

Nas is definately the most hottest rapper alive.If there is no blue print where will Jay z be ?Jay z’s music doesn’t inspire anyone in this world and Jay z can be compare favourably with Lil Wayne or Chingy lyrically. Imma let ya’ll haters of Nas know that when it comes to this hip hop thang,ya’ll know that Nas got all the stuffs locked down and 2pac even said it on Makaveli Quoted" Nas is the ring leader of eastcoast rapper"where is this nigga Jay z when 2Pac said this to Nas,damn this nigga Jay is crazy and only wanna expose his wealth to us when rapping meanwhile all the rappers are cruising in their wheels and cribs.Nas killed Jay on ether and then resurrected him again becos Jay begging God’s mercy and so God son gotta help him on that.

> nas escobar, by Rashon [2006-06-22 19:30:04]

After Nas dropped "Street’s Disciples," in 2004. I went out and brought the album.Now I’m a big fan of Nas. I notice alot of so-called people who, say they are big fans of Nas. When they know deep down inside they’re not. Yeah Nas drop a album every 2 years. I know also the fans don’t like to wait when, they know hip-hop artists are about to drop a album. They need to have patience.And all they gonna do anyway when, they buy the album is go straight to the hit song off the album. When before the album came out,they heard the hit song on the radio station.When I brought "Street’s Disciples," I quickly ripped the plastic off.And I put in the cd into the cd player. I listened to the intro on up.Now I read a comment by a phony fan, name Henri Black.In no way on earth, Jay-z is better than Nas. Nas is the best rapper alive in the rap game.When I heard "Ether," for the first time in my life. I was wilding out. The way nas put his lyrics together carefully. Nas is just the best period.Henri Black,or no one else can tell me nothing. After I heard "Ether," for the first time.You just couldn’t tell me nothing.And who you know can rhyme backwards like nas can. I think Henri lost his mind when he said, the garbage he said.Nas is the truest in the rap game after 2Pac.Jay-z in his songs,he always sayin his name. Jay-z we know who you are.Nas is the greatest rapper alive.And I just know when he drop "Hip-Hop Is Dead...The N." He’s gonna spit the truth.And I can wait for his album to come out.Unlike some people.Peace !

Nas is a deep, meaningful rapper. Most people don’t understand what this man is about, but this is true rap. He is something different, his lyrics are amazing, unbelievable, like its hard to remember his lyrics because of the sophisticated words he uses in his music. The battle between him and Jay-Z, c’mon...I’m pretty sure it is obvious to see that Jay-Z was dried out big time, yes BIG TIME. Nas gotta be up there as one of the best.

Nas is the King, by Nunaus [2006-01-17 00:12:34]

I. I’m from a very far away african country. I just wanted to say that the God sun is the best ever.

Jigga is now recognizing that.

Nas ain’t a window shopper.

He’s just the N to the A to the SIR If it was it , he must to be Escobar

> nas escobar, by Joey V [2006-01-12 14:45:40]

Nas is unbelievably talented, one of the most talented lyricist’s ever, no doubt. But there’s more to hip hop than great mcing. A lot of Nas’ stuff was, to be brutal, crap and musically uninspiring. In other words I wasn’t feelin’ much of his stuff, Illmatic apart. Just as talented though, Jigga’s music is way better. Being a shithot rapper ain’t the be all and end all. It’s a consistently good package that really matters, which ultimately, Nas has never delivered.

Peace !

> nas escobar, by DJ KAY [2005-12-22 08:08:29]

THERE IS NO RAPPER LIKE NAS . HE AWAYS RAPS ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND US THERE IS NO RAPPER LIKE NAS.

> nas escobar, by MsCadiGirl [2005-12-17 15:59:53]

Nas poetic skills brings truth and integrity to the mic. He isn’t bringing the same lame arrogant flamboyant lifestyle that most of these rappers continue to bring to the mic. Disrespecting BLACK women in 95% of their rhymes and glorifying the life of sin. When Nas does decide to shock us with a new album, he always brings truth and a story to tell each and everytime. With Nas, it’s not about the beats it’s the Lyrical flow he delivers to us to captivate and want to hear what he has to say, instead of already knowing what he’s about to bring. Nas is the best rapper alive, motivated by the highest, God and the way of men, the streets. Synthectic pop bee bop rap is for the non wise.
 Peace- Ms CadiGirl

Nas can never be better than Jay-z as far as the Rap Game goes, Jay-z has remained consistent, changing with the times, but Nas on the other hand has made his fans wait from illmatic to stillmatic, for a revival, and after that he dissappointed them again, im a Nas fan myself but Jay-z didnt need to make a whole song to kill Nas on the Mic, just lines. At the end of the day the majority rules, when 20million buy your album, YOU GOTTA BE HOT. THAT NIGGA JIGGA. Nas what ? nas who ?

Nas is the best rapper ever. He is one of the deepest lyricist and gives something meaningful to the world. Jay-Z is lucky he made peace with him...cause ether really did make him look bad. Most people don’t realize how amazing he is...but he truly is the one of the best rappers.
