Official Nas Thread

L

He gives a good description of the atmosphere when Ether dropped...but even his description is understating it, lol, it was even bigger and crazier than he's explaining. Jay-z got fukked up and the whole city was riding with Nas, shyt was ugly, super ugly,


It was like when Tyson got knocked the fukk out for the first time...but even nastier, Jay-z had New York and rap completely on lock literally the day before, lol.

this is all facts, this is why I look at all these people rewriting history for that battle as bullshyt. If u was living in New York at that time. It was CLEAR Nas won that. Nas shook the city wit that shyt. Every Jay fan I ran into at the time said Nas got it. It was WAAAY more lopsided than people try to lead on now. lol

Kendrick Lamar wanted Nas on "Sing About Me". That had potential to be beyond crazy. Old story, but worth re-visiting:

"The idea was to have Nas on 'Sing About Me,'” Lamar tells VIBE exclusively.

"I never really got a chance to reach out to him," explains Lamar. "I was so wrapped up in getting the music done, samples cleared and mastered - there was so much going on."

Would have been interesting but I’m glad it didn’t turn out that way. That song is so personal I can’t imagine another rapper on it.

initially he also wanted Erakya Badu in the hook which would have been interesting too.

Kelis married. She can't get none. I wonder why no one brings up how the judge told her to stop coming up with BS and they threw her case out and made her pay Nas lawyer fees

How haven't you heard this

I've never heard this song get brought up. It's not like "Triple Beam Dreams" or his Escobar features back in the day. Now, I'm wondering why I haven't heard it.
