If he already finished it a long time ago shyt probably sounds dated already.

He too busy investing in tech start ups I guess. I can't hate on that at all.

How do you market a new Nas album in 2015?
do what you did with life is good, but with a radio-single!!
nas is not a platinum-selling artist no more, but with a good radio-single, i believe he can still go gold.
but sales is not my main concern - i just want another quality product!!

This is exactly why he does that, so we can make statements like these. Nas will never oversaturate the market.

I don't think it's about saturation

Especially for a tenured artist like NaS who has numerous albums and been in the game for like 20+ years lol

I think this is just his creative process

It takes time to pick the right beats, write, record, master, get stuff cleared etc

Most of these artists now don't spend time crafting anything they just go in the studio and say whatever most of it is nonsense and the beat usually carries those songs

That doesn't take alot of time but for an artist with depth in their lyrics is gonna be about creating something that will be appreciated for years not just something you hear a couple times then forget about it

I can't imagine a new Nas single getting any radio play.

:manny:
that song produced by hitboi with frank ocean could potentially be a radio single or
that justin timberlake and jay-z collabo
not to mention, there are rumors that he is working with timbaland (potential hit record)

i personally hope, he does not go chasing hit records and just gives us fans a cohesive/dope album!!!

:ahh:
I've seen him live twice once at the Tabernacle when Hip Hop Is Dead dropped and last year at the One Music fest during the Illmatic 20th Anniversary tour and both times he was excellent. Especially last year he absolutely tore it down. No forgotten bars, no out of breath, just him, a mic, and Green Latern on the tables
I've seen Nas live 3 times and he always performed well. Tho all those times it was just him and a DJ. But I've seen some performances on youtube where he seems off. I only seen him in Europe tho, might be different if he was a huge entourage with him and people he knows in the US so he probably be smokin' and drinkin more while touring :manny: just a thought

Red Rocks, just same boring ass set..do one verse of a classic then forget half his bars. Dude is terrible on stage lately.
do you think he forgets them? or its a case of being outta breath/letting the audience rap it

i mean i know dude has wrote like a million bars but if damn near most of the ppl in the crowd know it, how can he not?

i want someone to ask him this in an interview. just be like yo what the fukk is up with your performances :laff:
