I'd rather have Hov on a Spicy remix than Cardi, but I wouldn't mind her on there either. She'd float on that shyt. Plus it would be dope to add it right next to Fivio's verse, so you get some wild he-man woman hater shyt and then Cardi swooping in with some wild fukk nikkas shyt. From a pure fukkery standpoint it would be entertaining.
:mjlol:
I got other plans for Jay.. 27 Summers remix lol Cardi and Doja Cat for the Spicy remix ladies edition lol

Man this isnt some type of super lyrical song. It's a dope uptempo record. In 2020, cardi on this song makes sense. Ofcourse it does nothing for nas legacy overall, but again it would introduce nas to a whole new audience and increase his numbers even more. Yall have to start thinking a little bigger. Is cardi super lyrical no ofcourse not, would she fit this song in 2020 absolutely.


Bro..lol

Nas dont care bout numbers like that.. Lol. His numbers are in other business's now. I get we want him to win tho. I do. Nobody cant tell us this album aint fire bro.. Thats all I really care about.

1). I NEVER called any artist that was featured Wack or terrible. My hang up with the tracklisting was that there had NEVER been a Nas album with that many features and I assumed a Firm reunion in 2020 wasn’t feasible.

2). If Nas’s goal was to get a top ten song then someone like Cardi would’ve already been on it. The song’s already dropped and a video has already been shot (sans any Cardi verse) so what would be the point in adding her now? When Nas hopped on Lil Nas X’s Rodeo it served the dual purpose of being an epic Grammy moment and a video that dropped soon after.

3). Nas worked with Bieber on Bieber’s song for BIEBER’S album. Nobody, CERTAINLY not myself, have ever suggested that Nas shouldn’t work with any artist he damn well pleases. I never said Nas SHOULDN’T work with Cardi. I said she’ll never be on a NAS song and I don’t expect that will change with Spicy. Nas hasn’t really been a “remix” type of guy the last few albums he’s released with the notable exception of the “Where Are They Now” remixes. I know he wanted to put Em and Hov on a Daughters remix but that didn’t end up working out. Besides that Nas doesn’t chase billboard charts. He has NEVER worked with an artist simply for the sake of a hit. All of Nas’s true hit records (If I Ruled The World, Street Dreams, Hate Me Now, One Mic, Made You Look, I Can, etc) were all hits based upon Nas’s innate talent to bring billboard to HIM. His only real “commercial for the sake of commercial” hit was You Owe Me.




That was Lil Nas X’s song not Nas’s
These are different times. It's the streaming era fam. We gotta start thinking bigger. You and myself were two of the main people trying to push the album to number 1 because it deserved it. So we can't be saying we want an album number 1 at one point and not thinking outside of the box for numbers in 2020. Cardi has a massive streaming audience, so no matter when you get her on a song it would be impactful that's my point. Ofcourse nas other massive songs didnt have features but again we have to think today or 2090 as nas said instead of 2000.

To some point nas has to care about numbers. It's not completely at the top of mind for Nas ofcourse because he is Nas. However, as the head of a label I'm sure he has to take those things into account not only for himself but his team also. This is also being a fan though and wanting his album to get as much attention he can and that is deserved.

He should absolutely care about numbers since it's on
his own label now.

Fabolous and hov on the remix would be hard too.

It would but I know where @Ziggiy coming from. Nas don’t need or want that extra attention and having to bring in the “in” thing to do to make his shyt bigger. He’s against that why is why he’s saying he would never bring cardi. I would love all that but I’m just happy he did this album and making videos for songs we want videos for finally.

You could say that he wanna stay low. But what's wrong with him making the next NY club anthem on some "All the Way Up"? Fucc it we need some joy and entertainments.
