Rick Ross has never made a wack album sonically though and depending on who you talk to he might have a classic.

hes not wack but ross has never put out anything on the level of a chronic or ready to die
im not trying to shade ross..just an artist as legendary as nas I would rather see him work with alot of other EP before ross

Nas got to much pride in this rap shyt to let a newer cat then him in the game executive produce his LP....

Nas sounds great on some over produced beats that Ross get's but I'm going to keep it real...a whole album of it? I'm not sure about it.

He's much better on simple production so he can let his pen off, like Queensbridge Politics for example...
I mean, what about NASIR?

While this would be dope...it's never going to happen. We all rejoiced when Nas started working with Joshua "Hip Hop" Kyambo...ie the guy who picked Hov's beats for years. Never got the album. Instead we got a weak EP with Kanye. At this point if Nas releases another album I think it'll be with Swizz.

My preference would be to get Nas with a variety of creative people with great ears for beats...and fly them out to Hawaii or Malibu or somewhere to just chill and record. Q-Tip, Alchemist, Ross, Terrace Martin, 9th Wonder, Boi-1da, Swizz, etc. Maybe throw in Pete Rock and Premo. Just a collection of great minds, many of whom understand what Nas sounds good over and what he doesn't sound good over.

I kinda agree but at the same time if you listen to Wale, Ross just let nikkas make the music they want even if it's wack. I don't see him checking Nas.
