Nas
Nas, born Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones on September 14, 1973, in New York City, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and record producer widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. He co-founded the Paid in Full Foundation alongside Steve Stoute, Ben Horowitz, and Felicia Horowitz to provide financial support and healthcare resources to hip-hop pioneers who did not receive compensation commensurate with their cultural contributions. He is best known for his 1994 debut album Illmatic, which is regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time and was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry.
“Nas said, that's not going to work that way in hip hop because in hip hop, you can't just give somebody money. It has to be more than that. It has to be a recognition of what they did and who they are.”
