Nas: What Muhammad Ali means to me...
In a special bonus episode of The Fight Of The Century, BBC Radio 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake speaks at length with hip hop legend Nas about the influence of Muhammad Ali:
“He’s someone who truly lived. Not all of us live. That means being brave. He was smart. For a kid who didn’t go to school, he said profound things almost every time he opened his mouth. We’re still learning from his interviews – we’re still learning life lessons.”
