Haven't listened yet but we're really about to get "Man fukk Premier we want Nas to go back to Hit-Boy!", aren't we?
How about neither
Nas & DJ Premier - Define My Name (new single out now, album releasing later this year)
- Thread starter Dylmatic
- Start date
How about neither

This is kinda the problem, people just assume every bag a producer has is for all. Sometimes people just fantasy project and dont consider a milllion things including how hes done that. I also think Nas doenst really wanna do deep undeground stuff. He'll do a throwback sample or a soul one for sure. This record right here is what I imagine he would have gotten from Preem anyway in the last 15 years. A lot of those dudes people want him to work with other than Al, dont really reinvent themselves. At this point, I learned from the Hit Boy chemistry it dont matter name
But like I said, this Nas/Preemo doenst have a release date and Im sure they're taking in the feedback
And if he hadn't listened to Stoute he might have never blown..it is what it is

And QB poltiics was a beat that Pete Rock made in 1990 and its just a piano and a light drum. It works cause of what Nas is rapping about detailing Proigy

Which is wild because that album still has I gave you power, shootouts, live nikka rap, suspect, take it in blood.
But I thought the deal with Marley was Nas switched up once the records started leaking. On The Real was one of the first joints they did and it leaked like immediatley in 95. I think it was more Nas heard Stoute out after tht happened.

Is it pathetic if you stayed up just so you can spew your normal propaganda

The album was gonna sell regardless.
Dude was doing store appearances in the city that summer, and the fire department was shutting down every visit because everyone was going crazy without even hearing the sh*t. He was on top in NYC then. For those of us who were around when IWW dropped, you saw how anticipated it was. Dude was over halfway to gold in a damn week. That album was gonna do well.

Stoute told Nas that Marley was leaking records, to turn him against him. Marley said that never happened and then Nas said he doesn't even know if that happened, at all.
But Nas initially wanted to do the WHOLE album with Marley like how Marley did with LL for Mama Said Knock You Out. Nas was staying with Marley at his crib and working on the album, and then Stoute stepped in and said he wanted to go in a different direction. Changed the whole course of the project after that.
Pretty much figured this and have zero concern for the album. This track came off an an appetizer/announcement more than anything, and Nas still went in.
Premo knows what the bar is after the Hit-Boy run. I imagine the album will surprise those who are expecting it to be lazy Premo. The album has been too long coming for him to come with some bullshyt, and I’d hope he’s been stashing heat going back to 06 or whenever.
