You don't think he'd be arguably his most motivated? He could have beats in the stash he made with Nas in mind he hasn't given away yet.
Nas Is Already ‘Halfway Through’ His Next Album With Hit-Boy
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
Hopefully...but its also gonna depend on what Nas wants to rap over too. I always got the feeling Nas likes working with a producer who is gonna make the beat in studio for him to get a certain sound he wants
You make statements on a message board attempting to pass them off as fact and can’t back them up with any type of discernible facts then you gonna get called out. The “its only an opinion” argument is getting weak. We can just say “fukk you and your opinion” and keep it moving but then that takes any and all common sense and challenge to actually back UP your opinion out of the discourse.
If you can’t back up why you feel how you feel then you don’t belong on a message board
Hug Hit-Boy's nuts with me, DAMMIT
Okay, I'm out

People keep bringing up the "Nas did a song with Premo and nobody cared" argument but ignore the fact that that song was literally just premo putting Nas on an old breakbeat that he did nothing to for a novelty project. It's not a "Premo beat" in the real sense but that's all they got now

I'd rather see Hit-Boy lock down one style than be a jack of all trades, master of none, too. The beats he gives Nas are straight but even his best always feel like they're missing something - like for instance, there's a lot of little things you can do to a Thun beat to make it even more of a banger and capture that Mobb Deep feeling even more, but Hit just kinda settled for basic. So you got a good beat, but not as good as it could be.

Nas sounded way better on the Preemo joint than any of the joints you mentioned. That was my whole point. Even on Preemo generic throwaway joint he got Nas sounding better than those Hit-Boy joints.
If Nas gonna make all these damn projects give the people what they want and do the Preemo shyt

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
People are so fukking weird when it comes to Nas. If the Hit-Boy albums all sounded the same, I would understand the complaints, but we've gotten five albums that go in completely different directions. KD1, KD2, and Magic might as well have been made by different producers. Before this album came out, people were already complaining that Nas was working with Hit-Boy again. At this point, nobody should be surprised that these two are still making music together. They're bringing out the best in each other and this run has singlehandedly changed a lot of narratives when it comes to Nas. Even some of his biggest critics (Max from Hip Hop Isn't Dead) are noticing a change and softening up on him. Why would Nas abandon all that for someone that he doesn't have that kind of chemistry with right now?
Salaam Remi used to be Nas' right-hand man when it came to production. Where's he been since Life is Good? L.E.S. hasn't been heard from in a while. No I.D. is still around. What about Mike Will Made It? Is he going to give Nas some heat like it was rumored? And I might hurt some feelings here, but Swizz Beatz seems to have good chemistry with Nas. An album between them might be surprisingly good.
The point is, people should never assume anything when it comes to Nas' music. He's never going to do what's expected of him. That stopped being the case when he couldn't hook up with Marley Marl for It Was Written and hired Steve Stoute as his manager. People are going to hype themselves up for an Alchemist album and be upset that they're not getting it when there was never any indication of it happening. "Premier album still might happen" was a tease, not a confirmation. The only thing that's for sure is that Nas is going to continue working with Hit-Boy. They're basically another EPMD or Gang Starr at this point. You can either accept what is and come into each album with an open mind, or go without and listen to something else. Alchemist will always be there with a new album for you to enjoy.

Preme's beats/bounce compliment nas like no other and vice versa
And this isn't some super lyrical performance or even one of Premiers better beats but the flow fits like a glove
This post ain't about this producer vs. that one, Just facts.

Nas is more likely to want something like Sandra's Rose from Preem and him going to that deep of a bag
So when people throw out underground cuts Preme did in the last 20 years that sound like the previous 10 years keep in mind hes gonna want Preem to go different and I dont want to start hearing you guys complain they didnt pick the right beats or whatever.
