This album is too important and too anticipated for an MC like Royce to have a feature. Do you really think Royce is gonna deliver some AZ Life's a bytch type verse :mjlol: I hope every joint is just Nas or maybe a few real legends dropping features.

Royce lost all of his artistic aura to me when Lupe so easily and casually took his head off. Hell i’d rather hear a Nas/Lupe track.


But we’ll see. EIGHT DAYS LEFT

Keep Lupe away too. That corny dude pretty much acted like Magic 1 was mid and had the audacity to "coach" Nas on how his verse could've been better on "Nobody". Complete lack of respect. Even Royce had to call out Lupe's sudden Nas dislike on that diss track.

Not a big Royce fan, but the Preme connection makes sense. He's a lyricist/spitter so that's a good sign regarding the album's direction. This is definitely a step up (understatement) from having Lil Durk, Fivio and YG as features lol.

I rather have Royce than Fivio Foreign or YG on a Nas album. A royce feature on a Primo album makes sense

I definitely don't want any of that trash on the album either. I was a fan of Royce when he had energy in his delivery and flow like Boom, King of Kings, Shake This etc. His new shyt is so boring to me now.

I can remember Nas interview for KD 1, where he pretty much confirmed the Premo album. Same interview if I remember correctly he was happy seeing rapper like Royce praise the album.

Interview was done over zoom.

Damn I completely forgot Lupe was on that goofy shyt with Magic 1.

So he's corny because he's not a stan and had an opinion? If he didn't like Magic so what. I respect that more than being a yes man. Nas has said Lupe is the next him ages ago and yet they never did a song so there's a 99% chance he's not on the album.

All this speculation of who's going to be on the album is pointless. It's only a week away. Just wait instead building up fake anticipation for things that probably aren't going to happen.

Y'all got everyone from Royce to Big Shug on the album :mjlol:

No, he's corny because he just is (nothing to do with his opinion of Nas' music). That's been self-evident for years (not taking away from his skills as a lyricist). The same way you're here defending his right to opine, I'm giving mine.

And it was the disrespectful tone he expressed. His issue with Nas was clear enough that even Royce called it out. That is all.

Respectfully, because you’re a veteran, you should know better. All Nas album threads are like this. Any kind of news sparks off discussion, debates, and speculation. Got people refreshing multiple times a day for anything. Got pages and pages before the album is even released. It’s an event.

The corny and disrespectful part was Lupe saying that Nas sounded like J.Cole on Speechless, which is not only categorically insane but just plain wrong. First off, J.Cole raps reminiscent of NAS, not the other way around and Nas flow on Speechless is nothing he hasn’t proven over THIRTY YEARS that he can’t do. THATS the disrespectful part.

Lupe was just sour that Nas won’t agree to do an EP with him. He’s been trying for years and Nas apparently ain’t with it.

Lupe, by his own admission, was just way out of line.

Dude TEXTED Nas that he wanted to do a concept album about Amy Winehouse and was salty that Nas left him on read :dead:

That's why Royce said:

"You been ostracized, you used to rock with Nas
Now you just Afu-Ra"

Before Lupe retired him.
