I wish we would've got snippet of the ALC joint met him like decade ago me&girl told him to work with Nas again at RDB
Again my man, not to keep beating this into the ground but I own several of his albums on vinyl that my dad bought back in the day and used to play when I was a kid. You're acting like he was some fringe artist that it's so unbelievable people rocked with him that are also into hip-hop. He won over 10 grammys and has numerous multi platinum albums. You don't exactly have to go deep crate digging to find an Al Jarreau record.
He had notable recognition on a mainstream level. I still remember Tommy Davidson's stand-up routine poking fun at his style. He was for all intents and purposes a pop artist based on his notoriety, even though his background was in jazz.
You have to be on the younger side to be surprised or not know about any of this. Playing his music coming up was no different than having Anita Baker, Phyllis Hyman, Stevie Wonder or any other artist of that era that got play on your local soul or easy listening station. Like I said, go peep the threads that have been made about him or any of the RIP threads made the day he died. It was even stickied if I'm not mistaken.
I thought i was the ONLY one who remembered that shyt. When he did Al Jarreau and Prince at Mcdonalds that shyt would Crack me up
Are they gonna drop either a Swizz or RZA track today or Nas was just fukking with nikkas?

Jay has a history of dropping albums the same day NaS does starting with the MTV Unplugged album that tanked when Stillmatic was the #1 rap album in the country.
There is no conspiracy or anything crazy about this, these are facts.
Beyonce is a big enough artist to pick her release date, this is the camel doing this out of spite because his soul still burns

I know about these. There’s “You Mean The World To Me” as well. Nas and Ye been talking about doing a project together since around this time. Which is why I said what I said.

Jay: *Calling up Robert Iger*- Hello?
Iger: Good afternoon Mr. Z? How are you today?
Jay: Pretty good Homie! Listen I need a little personal favor.
Iger: Name it! You want a private day at Animal Kingdom for Blue’s birthday? We’re doing a Camel themed event this year.
Jay: Nah nah. You know we agreed that Bey would do both the soundtrack and solo album for the Lion King joint?
Iger: Yes sir Mr. Z! We’re very happy with the way things are lining up! We’ve got a big marketing blitz lined up that i’m sure you and your wife will be happy with!
Jay: Yea yea. Check it though, I know we had a date already set. But we need to have the Solo album release on July 19th. This is of PARAMOUNT importance!
Iger: Well....Mr. Z
Jay: Call me Hov
Iger: Uh..ok. Hov. We’ve already spent several MILLION dollars in marketing materials for the original release date. We want to make sure that we have maximum capitalization on this movie for at least the next 4 weeks.
Jay: Yea I get it. But check this. Have you ever heard of Nas?
Iger: Why yes! My kids love that song I know i can be what i want to be! Nas is indeed for the children.
Jay: Yea actually thats Wu-Tang. But whatever Look. About 20 years ago, there was this joint called Ether. And it was...uh...very uneasy...like very vulgar...
Iger: Mr Z...I mean Hov. I’m not following
Jay: Look, Nas got an album- well a collection of unreleased joints dropping on the 19th. I want Bey’s album to drop on the 19th. Same day.
Iger: But Hov! We’ve been planning these releases for almost two years! I don’t understand why we’d go against all of this careful planning and preparation just to release on the same day as Nas!
Jay: Look. I know you don’t get it. But we need to do this! And trust me, you guys don’t want it with Hov! Ask Nas he don’t want it with Hov!
Iger: By the way Hov. How exactly are you calling my private house phone? I didn’t even give you my numbers.
Jay: Thats food for thought you gone have to do the dishes on that one. Look word on the internet is that my soul stay burnin. And I gotta prove a point. So are we good for the 19th Bob?
Iger: *Grumbles* Sure Hov. It’ll take some convincing with the Board. But why not? Anything for a pal.
Jay: Appreciate you buddy!

I think their process to make an album is complete different...Kanye is the type to just stay locked up in the studio for a few months...while Nas doesn't seem to be a studio rat, seems like he draws inspirations from real life & then records....
I actually like Kanye production on NASIR & i felt like Nas didn't come up to par as usual tbh but i think that's because he probably wrote his verses very rushed...
Still a decent album though..
. Told yall that was gon happenspliz

Son this is shyt is completely the opposite of what Kanye did for Nas. He had Nas record that shyt within a week’s time and didnt even finish mixing it up by album release. It was literally Nas’ sloppiest release in his entire career. Dont blame this shyt on Nas considering that he’s NEVER dropped an album with rushed verses before this Kanye shyt. The only album in that cycle that was done the way it was supposed to was Pusha’s. Everyone else’s was rushed.
