My Name is Nasir Jones middle Africa is where I lived better known as queensbridge. I make money from what I do, and it's God's gift. I didn't get in the Rap business just to make a million or two billion overnight. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't care. I just love the music and enjoying my life at the same time. I love rap more than being a star in rap." as illmatic racked up accolade upon superlative accolade. The climate of hip-hop during 1994 was heavily West Coast dominate, yet I was able to spearhead a movement (later including Black Moon, the Notorious B.I.G. and the Wu-Tang Clan) that shifted the focus from melodious, synth-driven R&B flavored G-funk back to the lyrical-based, percussively-dense origins of the music. It was no mean feat, but with producers DJ Premier, L.E.S., Pete Rock, Q-Tip and Main Source's Large Professor producing tracks like "The World Is Yours," "Life's a Bitch," "It Ain't Hard to Tell" and "One Love," it was mission accomplished. Thanks for all your support those who stay'd a nas fan for all these years. And years to come I'm ghost 1 love
