Official Nas Thread

[spliz]

I dont know... Nas would have to go the big production/theatrics route and I dont see that for him. And the Jets or Giants would have to make the Super Bowl..lol.

Like I said. Nas not wanting to do it and him not being able to is 2 different statements. To say Nas don’t got the hit records to do a SuperBowl yet Kendrick did one that featured only 2 hit records and the rest album cuts is wild af to me. Especially when I SAID I was mad Kendrick ain’t perform damn near any of his hit records and nikkas told me Kendrick did it for Hip Hop. But I guess Nas is TOO HIP HOP for the Super Bowl huh? If Kendrick’s performance wasn’t what it was I would agree. But the fact they let that rock. I 100% feel Nas can do one.

Halftime show is 15 minutes. Nas definitely has enough popular singles for a 15 minute set. Lets say he doesn't even do Hate Me Now because Diddy’s name is dirt, you still have…

Halftime/The World Is Yours
Street Dreams
You Owe Me
One Mic
I Can
Made You Look

Close it out with If I Ruled The World


Its more about Nas NOT wanting to do it than him not having the songs to put together a great show. He’s one of the most iconic rappers of all time, who happens to be one of the best selling, something people conspicuously leave out when discussing Nas and his legacy. You don’t sell 30 Million albums stateside WITHOUT hit songs.

Man Nas got songs with J Lo, Mary, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott. List goes on. All hit records. Why are nikkas playing dumb here? Lol

But Kendrick is the biggest rapper in the world right now.. we all tuned in basically to hear Not Like US ring off...


What would make sense is the Giants hit the Bowl..and the NY Giants of rap do the halftime together. Jay, Nas, and whoever else do a song or 2 Nas could do NY State of Mind and Made you look ..although Jay could def do one by himself. He has more songs built for a Stadium. Dont kill me Spliz..but just my thoughts.

But when nikkas was saying Kendrick just got it for Not Like Us they got killed for it. I'm just exposing all the bullshyt thats been happening surrounding this nikka the last year. Them folks in that VERY CROWD ain't give a fukk about that show until Not Like Us and Sza popped out. Yet it was herald as the best show since Prince n shyt.

I wonder if that Nas/D'Angelo song rumored for IWW actually exists

 

[Prolific_1011]

Can't stand Hip Hop radio personalities. If in an alternate universe Kid Rock was chosen for the halftime show, these clowns wouldn't even question whether he has enough hits.

They tap who performs at the Superbowl BEFORE the teams even hit the playoffs. So you can’t tailer the performers to what team makes the big game. If Nas were to ever perform it would be based on his legendary status, not because a New York team made it.

Probably not. I always figured he was tapped to sing the hook on Black Girl Lost and maybe they couldn’t align the schedules so they put Jo Jo on it instead.

Method Man was also supposed to be on It Was Written but never made the sessions for one reason or the other.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

I feel like Char, Jess, and Loren was on some bullshyt here but Envy repped. To say Nas CANT do a Superbowl cause of hit records yet Kendrick did a fukkin Superbowl with majority album cuts that got dikkrode to oblivion is crazy af to me.

Naw,., they were being realistic

Super Bowl isn’t Nas crowd
That’s for the masses/pop radio crowd

Kendrick was the biggest star in the world last year with one of the biggest hits of all time ..

Nas fans be delusional sometimes

Kendrick was already a star and had the biggest year in music the year before, culminating in a hit album with hit records that were still dominating the chart as of February. There's a Dave Free interview from a few weeks ago about how they deliberately decided not to just do hits to go against the grain. And it worked but at the same time, they still played the current hits (Not Like Us, Luther, TV Off). I don't think it's a comparable situation because Kendrick is a dominant figure in his commercial prime.

Nas would be doing it the same way Jay, Prince, Rolling Stones, etc would do it: as a legacy artist running through hits.

And that would work for Nas.

Probably more realistic if he did it like Dre did it and it be more “Nas & Friends”. Hell the Legend Has It lineup would be dope.

And this is fine. What would be the problem with Nas doing a “Nas and friends” concert?

No they weren’t. They saying Nas COULDNT do one and that’s just not true. It would have to be more of a legacy show than current but he damn sure could do one. shyt J Lo music career BEEN finished and she did one with Shakira. Nas could do a “Nas and Friends” like Dre did. I mentioned Kendrick cause while Kendrick was a big artist. nikka ain’t perform damn near ANY of his hits on that stage. nikka performed a bunch of album cuts and anyone who even insinuated that Kendrick should’ve performed more of his hits got attacked for it. U not gonna tell me bout hits from a legendary artist like Nas when u just let Kendrick flex a whole superbowl with album cuts.
