Nas & DJ Premier - Define My Name (new single out now, album releasing later this year)

[NormanConnors]

Aside from the obvious excitement of this finally potentially coming to fruition, this was my first thought.

All the bullshyt we've been reading all these years from the Nas stans on this board about how that 90s shyt is dead, nobody wants to hear washed up Preemo beats, dusty n*ggas living in the past, blah blah blah will go completely out the window if this album finally happens.

Which stans said this, Def wasn't me

 

[Life is Good]

The industry and fans of hip hop should be appreciative and lucky to have a GREAT artist like Nas still wanting to create music for himself and hip hop fans.

Y’all already doubting, talking down on former projects and showing just how azz backwards y’all are as hip hop fans.

No wonder hip hop is currently a clown & gossiping podcast show full of jokesters bc the fans are so fuking unserious about the art form.

This thread is full of people hype to have Nas drop something stop focusing on the people who are whining

All of these nikkaz said it

They defended HitBoys mid ass beats and shytted on Nas old producers

This thread just prove they gonna dikksukk anything and go with whatever narrative

Finally we getting MidBoys wack ass out the paint - finally impactful drums and meaningful samples

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Don’t know what primo’s recent production sounds like, but I’m here for it

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Not from me, when was the last time Premo made a great beat?

Preemo is the GOAT for a reason. He's not just coasting on legacy alone. Not producing as much as he was a decade or 2 ago, but he still puts out quality product.

From last year alone we got:





But my comment wasn't necessarily about Preem's quality or ability moreso than an indictment of the Nas conglomerate on here, which is basically - if Nas ain't fukking with X,Y, or Z at that very moment (for whatever reason. It could be a completely benign reason), then X, Y, Z by default ain't shyt because whatever Nas is doing at that very moment is pure and perfect and the pinnacle of human achievement.

I would also wager Preme has had some secret heat he tucked in the vault for this exact moment, I know he's been waiting for this just as long as we have

 

[Rollie Forbes]

@NormanConnors Thanks, Breh!

 

[NormanConnors]

So in 2024, you'd rather hear new Preemo over Alc

Alc has been hit or miss himself lately

 

[HNIC973]

Why do you nikkaz have to shyt on HB to big up Preemo?

 

[MasterThought]

C'mon Preem, I know you can give us a few beats atleast on this level for this project:









You one of the GOATS, I got faith in you

 

[The War Report]

Would of been dope in their primes.

 

[UnQuantized]

Delete

 

[Piff Perkins]

Will be curious to hear how many samples are on the album. Will Premo be handcuffed for budget/clearance/etc issues on an independent album or is this gonna be a "fukk it go all out" type thing.

Would have been dope in their primes.

Nas still in his prime
