But why is it “insane” to say as if Hit Boy is the only reason Nas is rapping, and no one could possibly hand him a dope beat right now. Coming from the same people who loved that Metro track and said it was amazing (it’s ok). My point being…stans are gonna love whatever Nas does so why pretend only Hit Boy can do this.
Because we all know producers don't just hand Nas a dope beat. And even if they did, it doesn't matter because it all comes down to what Nas says prevailing. For the most part, 90% of the Nas songs we've heard since 2020 have been produced by Hit Boy. Nas worked with a bunch of different producers from 2013-2018 and we heard no music from that era until Nasir and Lost Tapes 2.
