I'm thinking the issue with Large is personal like Nas may have blew him off at the party cause pics I seen Large looked pretty upset. And also maybe he felt some way bout Nas hanging with the industry folks at the party (Swizz, Kanye, Stoute) and not with him idk. I mean he got the invite. (One thing I noticed bout Nas when he has something expect LP and Havoc to be in participation) He could've called Nas if he felt someway they that close

LP hasn’t PRODUCED on a Nas record since 2001’s Your Da Man.


Ain’t no WAY he can be salty if him and Nas haven’t been on wax in 17 years. What the fukk did he think was going to change about a NAS/KANYE album?!?!

I gotta call bullshyt on the LP stuff until i see further receipts. LP too smart to be in his feelings and burning bridges like that. Rock i could see because for some reason he ALWAYS gets emotional about Nas but LP always keeps it cool
Ionno fam. Seems real.

Musically, NASIR is everything that Nas needed right now and more. Not even the very best releases from G.O.O.D. Music this summer can compare to the intricate rhymes heard here, and if the seasoned veteran retired today, this would be the perfect way to end his unparalleled career. Bar after bar, Nas lays down the kind of lyrics that we haven’t heard consistently from the rapper since he first rose to fame in the ‘90s, and Twitter users seem to agree for the most part too.

Released just a day before the album itself, the provocative cover art made the political intent behind NASIR clear before even a single word was uttered. Originally captured by photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark in 1988, the image shows several black children lined up with their hands above their heads, holding what we can only hope are toy guns. Both timely and evocative of previous work in the star’s discography, this photo represents themes that NASIR returns to time and time again across the album’s brief running time.

I use to be upset at the short albums. To be honest I love them now. I do wish a couple of the songs were longer.

As far as this album. This shyt is a problem. I’m very critical of nas(probably because of his fans) but I can’t deny this album isn’t fire. The cops shot the kid and White Label gets ran back at least 3 times each.
