Nas: AllHipHip 2025 Person Of The Year

Queens stand up, now!



The Nasty One snagged another honor from the folks at AllHipHop.com. As Nasir stands in his fifties, he still has the stamina to appear on Clipse albums and power through his own project in 2025.

If there was a hip hop mount rushmore, Nas wouldn’t just be on it, he’d have his own memorial and be printed on the currency as well. He has championed causes like the Paid In Full Foundation which bestows praise and benefits on the leaders of every school of rap.

His patience, decision-making skills, and power behind the microphone have solidified his placement as one of the greats.

With his effortless flow, his ties to businesses like Hennessy and his own label now, Mass Appeal, Mr. Jones has pushed himself to be named among the game’s finest philosophers and philanthropists.

His role as a statesman is made permanent by his efforts musically and entrepreneurially.

If there was any doubt about his microphone phenom status, just point to his project which just dropped, Light-Years (2025). It showcases the fact he can still rhyme circles around virtually anyone from any era, city, or borough.

Nas is that classy gangster who knows about his powers and can use them to great effect. He wields his words in a way that a master of the pen like James Baldwin or August Wilson would.

The decorated vet gets the top prize from the venerated website because he has won over the minds of the populace. For his dynamism and true ability, he has laid the groundwork for J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar among others.

Every time his songs get streamed, it’s often where someone alerts their digital assistant to replay a Nas line. It’s inevitable.

With this latest achievement, Nas has once again shown his appreciation of the game and what it means to him. By working for more than thirty years in the hip hop world, he has delivered lesser classics and flat out masterpieces.

The delivery, the imagination, the constant thought that propels the MC to take on new challenges and set bountiful goals, has allowed him to progress in a field that may be called stagnant in some respects. He never minds that, opens the door, and greets the new artists and helps them to develop.

His uncanny strength in making time seem like it slows down and that he is taking you on a majestic ride of lyrical excellence. What Nas possesses is a might on the mic which powers him and enlightens him.

To be considered the greatest artist of 2025 according to AllHipHop.com is quite the feat considering the fact that he has received Grammys® and other honors. The site has only bestowed its award for best person to those that deserve such an accolade.

Nasir has wrought not just a career but a lifestyle. This year alone, he has developed himself into a top shelf liquor in his own right. He’s like that vintage bottle that might cost more than someone’s mortgage. His timeless ability, calculated lyricism, and dominance over bass and percussion all allude to a consummate professional. Those ties he shares with outsiders, living legends, and up-and-comers altogether demonstrate his special qualities in and out of the booth.

The Queens native will forever be recognized as the true street poet who rose up through the ranks from spirited private to changing over to become a general in the field.

As critically acclaimed as Nas may be, he’s still hungry and ready to take on so many tasks.

While this is still a profound honor, he still deserves a Nobel Prize for Literature. Let’s just see where that takes him.

The Best Nas Features Of 2025, From Clipse To Slick Rick

This year alone, Nas shined alongside The Clipse on their game-changer, Let God Sort ‘Em Out, and flexed his executive muscle as co-founder of Mass Appeal Records. Not only did he greenlight the Legend Has It… campaign—an initiative empowering rap icons like Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L, and De La Soul to release new albums—but he stamped each one with a signature guest verse from the boss himself.

It was written: one of hip-hop’s greatest lyricists, razor sharp since the ’90s, is still operating at the highest frequency. But which of Nas’ scene-stealing moments truly stood above the rest? Let’s put it all in perspective.

10. Steel Banglez — “TIMES” feat. Nas & Sid Sriram

Bars: “No longer guilt ridden by the silk and linen / Never condemn it, never condescending / Before you hear something, this dope again and people love it / You’ll see the Pope on the beach in Nantucket play the trumpet.”

Nas blesses the British producer with an introspective, worldview-shaping verse—calm, reflective, and subtly inspirational.

9. Mobb Deep — “Love The Way (Down For You Pt. 2)” feat. Nas & H.E.R.

Bars: “Silk shirts and my chest show, still a flirt / I blew a kiss to Jorja Smith from afar at the H.E.R. concert.”

Nas gets romantic, flipping a clever nod to his Halle Berry line from Mobb Deep’s 1999 classic “It’s Mine” — proof his charm remains undefeated.

8. Slick Rick — “Documents” feat. Nas

Bars: “Sticking up the game again, Yankee and The Englishman / Who the best storytellers? Keep it a Wilt Chamberlain.”

Rapping alongside one of his biggest inspirations, Nas can’t hide his excitement. This is real Black James Bond elegance.

7. Mobb Deep — “Down For You” feat. Nas & Jorja Smith

Bars: “If I love the girl, who care what you like? / Y’all ain’t Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky or Mike, but she my new edition.”

If it isn’t love… Why does she stay on Nas’ mind? Ha!

6. De La Soul — “Run It Back!!” feat. Nas

Bars: “As wild as the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s, how it was sick / How did it slip? / Now it’s just Doechii, Dot and SZA with most powerful hits.”

With his brother Jungle hyping him in the background, Esco storms through like he’s reclaiming the throne — an authoritative reminder of his staying power.

5. Raekwon — “The Omertà” feat. Nas

Bars: “And the year was like 16-something, so could this mean hustling / Began when the Indian finessed the Dutchman / With opium on horseback? This way before crack.”

While an earlier leaked verse had fans speculating about subliminals towards Jim Jones, Nas switches gears here –dropping more historical gems than a KRS-One lecture.

4. Mobb Deep — “Pour The Henny” feat. Nas

Bars: “Life is a small hill to a mountain climber/I’m a ten-time champion, real life survivor/I’ve been on the ropes a few times/Probably been almost smoked a few times/But everything will evolve in due time/I know that descending is not the end/Just some new beginnings for P, we pour out some Hen’.”

Nas lovingly salutes his fallen QB brother, Prodigy. A toast to legacy.

3. Ghostface Killah — “Love Me Anymore” feat. Nas

Bars: “This to my nation, Black on Black hatred still happens adjacent / Project 2025 mandated by Reagan / House n****s on the rise, they love a plantation / Can’t allow the selfish and foul in our conversation.”

Like Ghost, Nas shows zero tolerance for betrayal within the community. The brothers aren’t gonna work it out.

2. Clipse — “Let God Sort Em Out/Chandeliers” feat. Nas

Bars: “Single-handedly boosted rap to its truest place / F*ck speaking candidly, I alone did rejuvenate/Hip-hop into its newest place/Made it cool for Grammy nominated LPs from previous generation MCs.”

Nas flaunts his longevity—no apologies, no humility, just justified pride. All you can do is nod in approval and press rewind.

1. Big L — “u ain’t gotta chance” feat. Nas

Bars: “I’m the first in rap to form a venture cap’ / While y’all research that, I let my seat go back / The first Carlito of rap, well, after G Rap / My voice a needle in wax, gets the Devil attacked / I hold your skull with my fingers in your eye sockets / I won’t even snitch to God, I’m a die solid.”

A vicious, technical showcase. No more disrespectful comparisons, Nas makes it clear the gap was always wide. And still is.
