Large Professor Talks About The Making Of Nas’ Classic “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” (Video)
February 3, 2018
Wow. It’s 24 years since “It Ain’t Hard To Tell†dropped. Large Professor did the beat with a ‘New York State Of Mind’ – a mind firmly focused on Queens.
We were heavy New York, so we weren’t thinking about the globe… We do what we do, and we put it down. And we’re just thankful that the world received it and loved it.
– Large Professor
That NY-minded track that the G.O.D.M.C. Nassir would lyrically bless would eventually bubble worldwide.
Watch above, as LargePro speaks on it.

Nas – “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” (Remix)
March 19, 2014
Many real hip hop heads have heard this Nas remix over the years, but now you can officially own it by downloading it now or when the 20th anniversary album drops. Still Dope.
“The Illmatic XX” double disc re-release will include remixes, unreleased demos and freestyles. Slated for April 15, 2014, the double-disc is available for pre-order on iTunes now. Nas also has a feature-length documentary coming, “Time Is Illmatic,” will cover this Hip-Hop instant classic from conception to finish. The documentary is set to debut at Tribeca Film Festival (also happening April 2014).

While out in Los Angeles the other night, Nas was out at the Supper Club & Game joined him onstage to rock a freestyle over Nas’s classic “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” record. The video could use some light, but this will do. Props to Hip Hop N More.

Consequence – “Killer Instinct” (It Ain’t Hard To Tell Freestyle)
April 25, 2012
It appears Consequence may have decided to capitalize on the recent success of Nas’s VH1 Behind The Music special & hop on Nas’s classic instrumental for “It Ain’t Hard To Tell”. It’s crazy because I remember when a few magazine’s back in the day were making statements that Consequence was that next dude to reach Nas’s status. The skills never left the Cons but everything else is the just the ebb & flows of the music ‘business’. Flash forward to 2012 & it’s obvious Consequence may not be on Nas’s level in the public eye but this other kid from Queens skills haven’t left him for fans who still enjoy lyrics & clever wordplay.
