Official Nas Thread

[Ziggiy]

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

Big Hit showed nothing but respect for Nas. Whatever issues Big Hit created for HIMSELF when Hit-Boy was doing everything to put him on has nothing to do with Nas. Nas and Hit had finished their six album run and Nas moved on when Hit-Boy started the rollout for Big Hit and was pushing him heavy.

I rather for AZ to be signed and to have 1 or 2 tracks and they work together and hang out more. Most of the chemistry we got from back in the day is from these guys just chilling and hanging out with each other.

Nas at Jazzfest was dope

He played "Oochi Wally" and "You owe me" which both had me rolling for some reason.

Huge crowd in the rain rapping along to illmatic, amazing moment.

Bol is a great writer and a damn good troll. his yelp reviews are the stuff of legend. theres one where he reviews a little ceasers in st louis and he just ends up blogging about the Terminix guys and the rat they were chasing around the kitchen. shyt was hilarity lol

you have to sign in to see his reviews but heres his page Byron C. — Yelp

but fukk him for his Nas slander. i feel like deep down hes a fan and just likes to troll. he also likes run the jewels WAY too much for me to trust all his opinions on music. i've seen him mention the coli a few times as well

I don't really read much into the Nas and Hit thing. He isn't the first producer that Nas split with for whatever reason that may have nothing to do with real issues. I mean, L.E.S. was on nearly every Nas album from Illmatic to HHID. Haven't heard anything since. Salaam Remi was a staple on every Nas album from Stillmatic to Life Is Good. There have been a few songs since between Life Is Good and the Kanye produced Nasir album. Its been years since.

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.

Literally Nas went through a time where he wasn't speaking to fukking Jungle his own flesh &blood . This is what introverted nikkaz do

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Dudes in here such females.... Really crying that a grown ass man ain't talking to another grown ass man.

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Dudes in here such females.... Really crying that a grown ass man ain't talking to another grown ass man.

people just taking notice of them not being cool and wondering why. nobody crying. What was weirder is when people first noticed and dudes started to be upset and spoke on shyt like they know the facts crying telling people stop reading into shyt. Now that was weirder and some female shyt. Dudes can’t have no types of opinions..

But that was over something. I don’t think it was out of the blue.

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.

I'd agree with you but if it was just Nas being busy they would have talked at some point. If only on some catching up/I'm in LA let's link up at a restaurant/etc type shyt. Instead it's been radio silence which to me suggests something happened. Either a weird vibe Nas caught wind of or something else.
