Official Nas Thread

[shawntitan]

Those were already out he just added the name of the tracks

Just a heads up for my Coli brethren, Jensyao is locked out of his Coli account, but he’s still active on the Nas reddit page R/Nas
Hopefully he can get it straightened out soon, in the meantime, be sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel for Nas gems.

Was wondering when you were going to chime in.

My man
We always need more Nas, but I’m generally on the hunt for pre-1999 stuff, so these recent leaks don’t really quench my thirst, LOL.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

You clearly didn’t hear his answer, because it was strictly about music, as he says he has a closer relationship to Jay Z

Reminded me of Jadakiss' answer, I think he didn't pick anyone but kind of said that he would pick Nas as an artist, but could get Jay on the phone easier or some shyt

 

[JustCKing]

I really feel like its in poor taste to pay for some shyt that Nas himself, who wrote the goddamn song, won’t see a penny off of. If a song leaks then it leaks, but to PAY for what is essentially stolen material is kind of messed up.

I think every leak we've gotten since leaks have occurred only made its way to the Internet because somebody paid money for it.

I think the reason we don't see leaks as often is because they've upped the prices significantly from what they were decades ago.

The original Lost Tapes probaby wouldn't even exist if not for leaks.

even more funny when you realize that nas and kiss could put out a STRONG ep with tracks they both dismantled while jason and hov... must be chatting about Knicks, Yankee hats and BIG memories, weird how things are sometimes

I was disappointed on large saying both that would be like Clark Kent or Jaz O sayin both, I can't respect that. Az Rae and Ghost playing politics too it didn't make sense

Yeah Nas doesn't have a lot of dudes who really ride for him like that, unless it's QB rappers (and Scarface).

His day ones have a history of feeling slighted by him, which I think (trying to keep my bias out of it) says more about them than him.

Large, AZ, Primo, Pete Rock have all at times thrown shade. Kay Slay claimed to have audio of AZ dissing Nas when he was going to release that Death of Escobar diss mixtape, which got deaded by industry dudes (perhaps including AZ) telling him he was crossing a line (by his own admission).

NGL though in terms of those Discord tracks I could really go for a Lost Tapes part 3 with leftovers from the Stillmatic, God's Son, and Streets Disciple era.

Wasn't there also a leaked 10 second snippet of Believe or Crabs in the Barrell last year? Could've sword I heard it. I remember one of the lines being something about NY Post and Page Six lol

Mannnn, I’d love a Lost Tapes style jawn of unreleased shhit from Esco right now man, damn. He was in a zone on Stillmatic…I’m sure he recorded 30+ records for that easy…we need them vaulted joints kid.

Nas man..

Snippets but they seem like he dropped the ball not releasing these. All sound good

Large stay salty with Nas.. Nas understands that tho and always includes him on important moments

With AZ I could mayyybeeee see it since he’s from Brooklyn and actually knew Jay-Z before rap so perhaps he could relate to Jay-Z’s persona. That plus he and Nas have never been the best of friends that fans just assumed they were because they have chemistry on wax.

With Rae and Ghost both of them have said Nas is the greatest so many times I just chalk it up to them not wanting to hurt Jay’s feelings that day lol. Ghost especially calls Nas the greatest at almost every opportunity.

Large Professor there is no excuse. But he and Nas have had a weird relationship the last couple years. Seems like Large undercover feels like Nas owes him something and is a little resentful that he’s not part of Nas inner circle.

I’ve never ever EVER heard Primo throw shade at Nas. What did he say?

And there are still people large in the industry who ride for Nas publicly. Common always calls Nas the greatest and said point blank he’d take Nas over Jay-Z. Fat Joe and Nas had a little falling out a few years ago but nowadays he rides for Nas. Kendrick just gave Nas a big shoutout on GNX. Cam’ron will say publicly Nas is his favorite rapper of all time and it hurt him deeply when they had beef. And there’s this…

Nas wrote Gettin Jiggy With It, Just Cruisin, Chasing Forever and Big Willy Style.

Will knows who the GOAT is

Is this confirmed? I heard the rumours about Just cruising but the others I'm shocked about.

Nas is literally credited on Just Cruisin and Chasing Forever.
