Hip-hop’s legendary lyricist Nas finally won his first ever Grammy last night after 13 nominations across more than two decades. The 47-year-old king of the New York City, won Best Rap Album for his 13th effort, titled “King’s Disease.”
Nas’ album bested “The Allegory” by Royce da 5′9”, Alfredo” by Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, “Black Habits” by D Smoke and “A Written Testimony” by Jay Electronica.
In an interview with British music magazine NME in November 2020, Nas revealed that he had attempted to create a record similar to James Brown’s 1968 classic “Say It Loud ― I’m Black and I’m Proud” and said it was necessary for Black artists to make similar anthems because of “the foot on our necks.”

As usual, Fat Joe asked his guest from Detroit to list his top 5 rappers of all time. Here is what Lazarus replied:
“My top five…Obviously Pac and Biggie, that cliché gotta stay in there. Because the impact they had on me. The genius GZA, who’s also personal mentor of mine. That’s one of my favorite emcees. He might be my favorite emcee just because of wordplay, science that he puts into it, you could see the connection to it. “Liquid Swords” is my favorite album of all time. Shout out to GZA, genius. Then I probably go with Nas and Eminem and Big Pun. That’s six but you know…”
