Nas – Obey Your Thirst (Documentary)
July 1, 2015
Nas will get to tell his full Sprite documentary story – that is, it is set to drop – July 1, 2015.
“There was nothing more important to me than having a voice,” says Nas in the above trailer for his Obey Your Thirst documentary. “I always believed that I could give people my ideas through art.” Considering how mythologized he’s become thanks to his virtuosic lyricism — which earned him a spot 20 years ago in his classic 1997 Sprite ad — it’s a trip to hear what originally drove him to break into the world of Hip-Hop.
Just more evidence that the smart money is on the G.O.D.M.C. Always has been. Sprite’s known for 20+ years. Others have been catching up. Catch the trailer documentary above.

Instead, he stayed where he was and made history by proving that if you’re a truly multi-layered artist, you can make it from anywhere. “Do it the way I did it,” he says in the above Obey Your Thirst documentary. “Do it from where you’re at. If you have the music, that’s all it takes.”
Now, at the top of his game, Drake says he competes not with established legends or other top-sellers, but with the countless kids itching to take his spot. Now that hip-hop’s playing field is more open than ever before, Drake knows
there are countless kids itching to take his spot. Those up-and-comers are now his competition, not any established rapper. “That’s how I try to keep pushing this forward,†he says. “Just to let that kid know that I’m not done yet.â€
