I thought I was the last 50 fan alive :russ:

He's performing late September here (Netherlands) but I'm out of the country :mjcry:


Never been a BIG 50 fan but he can rap his ass off when he wants to. Nas is definitely going to bring the best out of him.


This is one of those occasions where I wish Nas would do interviews. I’d LOVE to hear the story about how Nas and Hit Boy came up with the idea to involve 50. I know 50 and Nas squashed any differences they had years ago and 50 has been praising Nas the last few years, but i’d like to know, musically, what inspired Nas to reach out for a feature.

I love Lost Tapes 2

Its not a classic like LT1 but

No Bad Energy
Vernon Family
Lost Freestyle
Tanasia
Adult Film
War Against Love
The Art Of It
Highly Favored
It Never Ends
You Mean The World To Me
Queensbridge Politics
Beautiful Life

Are all excellent. Thats 12 tracks out of 16, which is the same number of tracks on Lost Tapes 1. I even like to listen to Jareau Of Rap in the context of the album.
Lost tapes 2 was fire

Nas might have reached out after the Supreme Team doc came out. You could tell that 50 felt a way about it but he still gave Nas the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone got an opinion but if you really a Nas fan and don't fukk with Magic, I don't get that
exactly doesn't matter if these tracks aren't "Nas is Like or "I Gave You Power" just dope ass music nikkaz need to get over the nostalgia

I don’t think I ever seen Nas on Shaderoom for music




Same thing for TMZ

Nas has accomplished what very FEW musicians have. Being able to have coverage and press STRICTLY based on his music. Its a beautiful fukking thing man. I hope Nas sees how these media outlets are FINALLY showing him the respect he deserves and perhaps grants a few interviews. I’m not even saying he’s got to do a full media blitz. Just a sit down with Ebro. Big Boy. Maybe Zane Lowe.

Hell even Elliot Wilson is posting about Magic 2 on his Twitter. Hov’s number 1 cheerleader is excited! The man who trashed It Was Written. Crazy
