Official Nas Thread

[kes929]

The only thing bad about Untitled is Game and Chris Brown on We make the world go round. Nas went the fukk off then they fukked it up. It's in 4.5 terrority personally.

I love untitled man. I honestly don’t know how some don’t like that album. That untitled distant relatives life is good fun is incredible too me

Same bro. They're so real. Every subject and song is still relevant in 2026

Damn our suspicions was right Nas and Hit haven’t spoken in a few years. I hope it ain’t too deep.

Nas hasnt talked to hit in years? thats sorta insane Ill be honest, nas has always been that way though. aloof

hit is also an emotional guy hes always been that way tbh nothing wrong with it, his temperment reminds me a bit of drake for a producer

Nas always gave me Kobe vibes
While Jay Z was LeBron

A lot of people haven't worked with Hit in a long time. Kendrick comes to mind first. Sure they still talk often; Hit mentioned he was talking to Kendrick the day Not Like Us came out. We can assume Nas is being weird or whatever but to me I'd rather look at the track record of this guy not getting major placements, being mad about it, lashing out on IG, etc. Seriously when is the last time he had a song on a big album? ALLEGEDLY he's been working with Hov on something but as of this moment his last one was Beyonce in 2024. Travis in 2023. That's about it. To me that's more of a story than anything Nas related and until we get the full story on that, I'm not gonna just assume Nas is in the wrong.

Yea we know Nas is a particular type of guy socially. But I think there's more to this story and we'll never get the truth of it.

I feel this too. I feel like him putting out in THIS way tho is type messy as well. Especially if Nas ain’t actually DO anything to him. Here is a legendary rapper who worked with you more than he’s worked with any other producer in history basically. When does it become enough? Me personally. I feel like Nas could foster his relationships a little better. On the flip side tho. As u said. It seems like Hit can do that as well. It seems he falls out with people and complains. I just feel if u gonna address it. Address it in a less passive aggressive way so there could atleast be some understanding.

That's dope though. Hit flowing. I dont think it's a diss or anything. That's just how nas do. Clearly he has a pattern where he fukks with people really intently before moving on to the next thing.

It seems AZ figured that out years ago which is why they stayed mostly cool through the years, even when they didn't speak for long periods.

Nas is running a record company, putting out his own albums, spearheading businesses, about to launch a casino, and go on tour. He’s one of the busiest individuals in Hip Hop. I think it really just comes down to Nas giving hid energy to those in his direct vicinity assisting in helping him in whichever endeavor he’s focused on in the moment. We hadn’t seen Nas and Raekwon together in YEARS before he dropped an album on Mass Appeal. Same for Nas and Ghost. Nas and Slick Rick. Nas and De La Soul. Nas and AZ. Its a timing and priorities thing.


Nas paid Hit-Boy fairly even though he was in a horrible publishing deal, this by Hit’s own admission. Those six albums they did together helped Hit get out of that deal as well. Nas helped Hit Boy just as much as Hit helped Nas. Without those Nas albums Hit doesn’t get his third Grammy award or his nomination for Producer of The Year.

This is cap. I highly doubt Nas just randomly stopped talking to him. There is probably some behind the scenes stuff that happened. We may find out one day. I also wouldn’t put it past them mending the relationship if it ain’t too deep.

 

[H.S.]

Am I the only that feels like not talking to someone for a couple years isn't a big deal? Like, so what? Everyone has someone they're cool with but haven't caught up with for a few years.

I blame Big Hit. Somehow, he had something to do with this.

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Since ain’t shyt else to do, I will entertain some possibilities. Once big hit came home, too much gang affiliation, too messy, too many people expecting shyt that ain’t got nothing to do with nas and what he got going on. On top of hit starting to do beats and over saturate himself before they was getting to their last grand finale album together like game, Benny, and whatever else he had going on. Nas probably just felt “aight, great working with you. Hope you prosper off what we did. I’m on to the next until we meet again” type shyt. That’s all I can account this to.

There are more stories of Nas being a really good dude (even from Jay Z, recently) than not. Dudes treat Hitboy with kiddie gloves as if he's still some innocent 19 year old. It's weird.

Dudes only think of past issues with Mega and Nature from nearly 20 years ago and use that to create a weird Nas narrative.
