Depends on which beats you're talking about. While I think he would sound fine on them, we already know the narrative from people if he hops on a 808s track and people start saying hes changed. If he wants to rap on contemporary beats whils still sounding like Nas, No ID can simply do his best Kanye/Primo/Just Blaze (Control) impression and sort him out. In terms of making something boom bap and blues like Salaam got him all the time. Really the direction and approach with those two would be the same as if he rocked wit Kanye, Alch, Pete Rock, RZA, and other soul procducers.

If anything he could probably do with more of Salaam and No ID and least maybe Stic Man, Mark Batson, unthawing DJ Hot Day from the dead, Swizz (although Summer on Smash was more bad cause Miguel was misplaced on it), etc etc. Also Buckwild been giving him old expired beats (though I was cool with you wouldnt understand, its might not rock out with others)

At this point it's obvious that Swizz and Nas just don't have any chemistry so I'm not interested in hearing those two work together again. Stic Man was dope on Untitled, I wouldn't mind him again. No 808s either, although I think Nas should reinvent himself. But that's a whole notha' topic.

See I dont know the General was kinda top to me for its time and that Top Down joint should have replaced the bonus track version of The N on Hip Hop is Dead
