Lets be 100 here. He doesn't need to sign to any label. If I were him I'd hook up with Irv Gotti and go independent or deal with the situation Irv got with Lyor. He doesn't need a label behind him he's going to move the same amount he has a loyal fan base.

being independent he'd have to do some legwork and nas isn't an outgoing dude. 'They say I'm so low key, I'm socially awkward ...' that's what frustrated guys like steve stout so much in working w/ him. i see him staying w/ def jam. or roc nation, maybe?

I know Duck Down might seem like a step down because it's not a major but I understand the feelings behind the idea. I think Nas should test the independent market with one album, maybe lost tapes 2 and see what it's like. Being independent means you have to hustle more and Nas is kind of lazy so I don't think he'll like it.

How is he lazy?..this nikka been everywhere and non stop touring...

Nas had singles/ videos for Bye Baby and Cherry Wine AFTER the album released and I'm not sure, but I think he's filming/filmed a video for Loco-Motive as well. I felt Nas's promotion for Life Is Good was very well done, anticipation for the album had been building steadily since he dropped Nasty a year prior...

I honestly think his buzz damn near instantly dwindled after that Dream Hampton bullshyt..

I don't really see how, that was proven as bullshyt almost INSTANTANEOUSLY after she made the accusations. Everybody from Just Blaze, NO I.D., Stic.Man and Jay Electronica called bullshyt. The album is still acclaimed, he's still headlining tours and concerts (Radio City Music Hall in New Years is pretty big) and got the most Grammy Nominations he's ever received for one album. He made Rolling Stones list of best albums of 2012 (and Rolling Stone been shytting on Nas for damn near a decade)

His buzz is good:myman:

Nah fam..im not sayin that it wasnt proven as bullshyt...it was...but his buzz amongst fans clearly dwindled imo...it put a stain on his album's success which is what she set out to do..before that shyt that album was getting mentioned EVERYWHERE by fans and artists alike..movie stars..comedians etc...then it just stopped...who knows tho..maybe im trippin...fukk that bytch either way tho...I hope he addresses it one of these days...

NAS has a strong enough fan base to obtain a LIVE NATION deal......

the indepdendent aspect of those deals would benifit an artist such as NAS who has a healthy touring schedule...

Jay-z would vouch for him as well.......

i think he's got too much substance and too "old" to signing another traditional record deal with a major whom just wanna "rape" his publishing anyway




tell Mr. Jones to come holla at me......... :russ:

He should go back to being a Columbia record slave and get paid. Since his face once graced promotional Sony trucks, and he helped build 'em up . :jawalrus:
