Official Nas Thread

[spliz]

So from these 2 interviews, in 1995: Nas recorded an unreleased song called "Black Velvet", another unfinished song with Chris Winston that never came out, and another verse with Wu-Tang Clan that never came out.



The Nas vault is insane

I fukking HATED this interview because dude tried to make like IWW was this glossy ass commercial album when in reality DeJa Vu wasn’t darker than damn near anything on IWW. Sometimes songs don’t make the cut. I mean that song is a classic to me. It is what it is tho.

chris still sounds bitter AF but we gotta go find the Nas DATs to those unreleased joints...it's not like Chris and Nas is cool nowadays, he should leak those joints

Jim Jones biggin up Nas a lot on here

I think Jim is trying to collab with Nas...we need that dipset-Nas collab on that heatmakerz beat

I was watching this and Jim already said Nas but the host had to go back and ask Jim about Jay-Z before moving on, lmao @5:30

Breh to keep it real, I don't even really like the Deja Vu beat like that. That joint would have sounded outdated on Illmatic, let alone IWW. I'm glad he ended up using that verse on Cuban Linx.

I NEVER got the infatuation with Deja Vu.

I don't think it was the beat at all...it was the verse...people would listen to that static quality verse all day in a daze on how that verse sounded so effortless for Nas to create

I agree, the verses were incredible but the beat ain't all that, it got a vibe to it thought

I fukk wit it but I’m glad Nas ain’t use it. Just off the character of the producer.

2nd verse to DeJa Vu was worth the price of admission on its own.

i mean, yeah, you have to be a people-pleaser like khaled to get any work done with rappers with egos...there's plenty of talented producers who can't get any work from rappers because of their attitude

Bruh the media do everything in their power to try to market hov in front of nas haha. Everybody in they mama, know all the rappers wanted to dress like nas and get their hair cuts like nas.

lol I'm glad Jim kept it real too. Jay has been influential in a LOT of ways. But I ain't never seen him rocking something and thought I need to find one of those.

The passion Jim has when discussing Nas's fashion sense is hilarious. No lies told though. Dope to see him give Puba his props too. This whole interview was cool actually.

The interviewer wanted Jim to elaborate more on Jay more but Jim ended up elaborating more on Nas after Jay question, lmao

Jim basically said Kanye and Jay weren't trendsetters in fashion...he was going at the interviewer too -- the interviewer thought Jay and Kanye was gonna go to the elite 8...that's that goon mentality right there, lmao -- don't let people slick-talk you, don't let subtle things slide, and explain your stance until you got the last word

I need to see that hip hop NBA logo Nas was wearing in the source that Jim was talking about...I did a search but didn't find it

Yea Nas 90’s drip was different

I know theres clips of it on youtube, but the official video showed the entire thing and was pretty dope

@jensyao

@jensyao

coachella actively take down videos named coachella because they want to charge people exorbitant fees just to attend their concerts...if the video is on a streaming site, it's probably named generically so it doesn't get taken down

all the sites link the 2014 mp3 live album and not the mp4, from the searching i saw
