Official Nas Thread

[WHolla09]

Thanks to Nas, I started going to concerts solo. Back in ‘05 I was in Vegas, and Nas was playing at the House of Blues. My group was all about going then they bailed at the last minute. I ended up skipping it because I didn’t want to roll solo. I was so angry at myself, that I vowed never to do that again. Ever since then, I either go to concerts solo or with people, don’t matter. Now I’m about to see Nas again for the 4th time

Anyone know why he left joints like this and Talk of NY off of Streets Disciple?

sample clearance issues I think

I don't think that's it, because there was a bunch of songs in that era he scratched and I'm pretty sure Foul Breeze was one of them, and Busta ended up using the same beat for New York shyt.

Streets Disciple was supposed to be a triple album but Columbia wouldn’t allow it so they cut all the songs that were meant for the third disc

Right on. You know what, I actually had heard that already and forgotten about it. There was a plan to only use classic break beats for the third disc at one point as well I think.
Could've had a great album if he swapped some of the filler songs on the album for all the joints he left off.

Nas did a verse for Investigative Reports but wound up on Verbal Intercourse….

I’m lowkey sad that it looks like the first season of The Bridge Podcast has concluded. These interviews were all so excellent and informative
