** One of his earliest tracks, "One Love", from ''Illmatic'', has a few lines in the third verse addressed to ghetto ne'er-do-wells, telling them to at least try to avoid catching innocents in the crossfire: "tough luck when n***as are struck, families fucked up, could've caught your man, but didn't look when you bucked up; mistakes happen, so take heed: never bust up at the crowd, catch him solo, make the right man bleed". "Accident Murderers" from his later album ''Life Is Good'' is addressed to someone who did not take heed at this advice: "Accident murderer, act like you killed on purpose, liars brag, you put work in; you ain't mean to murk him, your guns are virgin".

** ''Illmatic'' popularised in hip-hop the practice of using multiple producers for albums, rather than a single producer or production team. It was primarily produced by a combination of DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, L.E.S. and [[Music/ATribeCalledQuest Q-Tip]], all of whom would become regular producers for Nas over his career.
** Much of his 90s output, including the majority of ''It Was Written'' and ''I Am...'', featured beats from production team The Trackmasters.
** ''God's Son'' saw Nas begin a collaborative relationship with Salaam Remi, who produced at least one track if not more on every Nas album from then until ''Life is Good''.
** ''Life is Good'' was largely produced by Remi and veteran hip-hop producer No I.D., best-known for his work with Music/KanyeWest.
** Kanye himself, who had earlier produced "Still Dreaming" from ''Hip Hop is Dead'', produced the entirety of ''Nasir'' as one of five albums from his prolific 2018 sessions at his Wyoming ranch, along with his own ''Ye'', ''Music/KidsSeeGhosts'', Pusha T's ''Daytona'' and Teyana Taylor's ''K.T.S.E.''.
** Beginning with ''King's Disease'', Nas began a more traditional artist-producer relationship with Hit-Boy, who has subsequently produced the entirety of every Nas album since, including both ''King's Disease'' sequels and ''Magic''.
** The Firm's only, self-titled, album, was almost entirely produced by Dr. Dre, who had a major role in the group's formation.

After his childhood in the Queensbridge housing projects, Nas entered the rap scene with his debut ''Illmatic'' in 1994. Critically acclaimed due to its educated lyrics, flawless delivery, and innovative beats, the album was an instant classic and thrust him into the critical spotlight. He was also part of the hip-hop group The Firm. His albums since then have mostly been big hits with the critics and public, [[ToughActToFollow although many still point]] to ''Illmatic'' [[FirstInstallmentWins as his best]].
