Your Old Droog – Sleepers (Prod. by Mac Miller)

[Surreal]

What does Nas have to gain by doing this? It's not like this is some well publicized thing, only real hip hop heads have even heard of Your Old Droog. To take the time to record FREE music under an alias would be one of the dumbest career moves ever for Nas, and thats saying a lot, considering the L's he's taken. This is basically limited to dudes on hip hop message boards who are really in touch with the culture, so you can't even call it a publicity stunt when there's no publicity to be gained from it.

So if it IS Nas, why?

If Nas released an album as Your Old Droog tomorrow and also released one under his own name, which would you think sells more?

If Nas goes on tour tomorrow as Your Old Droog, do you think he would fill up the same venues he would compared to him performing as Nas? fukk no.

It's not him.

Well Nas is about to be somewhat independent musically....

Plus Nas is an artist that needs new things, new inspirations. To be creative and mysterious. That's Nas

I don't really have an opinion either way on who it is, but why does EVERYTHING have to be about career moves and taking Ls. What happened to just making dope music and releasing it? Having fun. Everyone complains about the state of hip hop but when an artist, assuming it is nas, does something new and just sort of interesting, everyone's all about the career moves. If it is nas, when was the last time your favorite rapper put out some dope free tracks with an interesting concept just for the listeners? So what if it's just for the hip hop heads on message boards. I wish more rappers would do it for us. It would keep the music vital.

If it's not nas, it's beyond corny and I hope dude disappears.

If it's all about the music, then why the alias, why the "he's a Russian from Brooklyn", why the mystery? Why not just drop music and let it speak for itself? Can't have it both ways.

I feel you but, how can music speak for itself more when no one even knows who made it?

If Young Old Droog is in fact a Nas alias (I personally don't think it is), the alias exists to tease new music. The new Nas album is the most secretive Nas has been about any album that I can remember. When he did that Reddit Q&A, he even told people not to ask about anything else about the album. That was after answering a question about songs that had already been discussed at length months before the Q&A. These Young Old Droog songs could be songs that have been scrapped from Nas' new album if this is indeed Nas. He could release these songs as a Nas mixtape, but there wouldn't be any mystery. Having the mystery leads to all kinds of speculation and theories, which keeps people talking.

 

[Nicely]

I wasn't sure before, but now I'm pretty sure it's Nas. I feel like he would do something like this like someone else said to be creative. He's probably doing it just for the real Hip Hop heads anyway. Old droog means old friend in Russian. Think about it.

Maybe I'm reaching. Lol

 

[JBone4eva]

He isn't Nas brehs. I think the whole confusion is cool though.

If what you're saying is true and he's a white dude that sounds like Nas. Be ready to see Rosenberg riding his dikk (extra hard) like he does Bronson.

Something aint right with this whole story. How is a new commer who just dropped his first tape in the spring and a handfull of throwaways able to book Webster hall for his first show

His very first song was picked up by MassAppeal and other blogs too

I dont even think other NY new commers like Bobby Shmurda or Troy Ave could pull that off. Either this guy is Nas, or somebody is behind him pulling strings.

 

[Big Mel]

Shmurda sold out the main room of webster hall, droog playing the basement...

Droog is managed by Tim, who works for mass appeal.

[SixxiS]
