Royalty grew on me alot. I never really had a problem with the beat tho. It was the hook. But like I said. It grew on me.

She lowkey a Nas stan. Back in the His&Hers days Micheal Smith said Black Thought was his GOAT, Jemelle said NAS.

Yeah, that definitely wasn't "Sinatra in the Sands". I should've clarified that in my response.

You think that Nas and Timbalan snippet was Sinatra in the Sand? I don’t know about that. The word was that Nas recorded multiple songs with Tim. I don’t believe that was Sinatra in the Sand.
He just recently said that the next Lost Tapes would have features. This leads me to believe that anything in his stash is on the table. The song is probably going on 6-7 years old now. I guess it really depends on what sound and concept he is going for in his next album but I think it’s safe to say that it’s going to be on one of his next two projects. However, I’m leaning toward the Lost Tapes 3
Not gonna lie. May be too early and so long but I’m starting to wonder if I like this shyt more than life is good. This shyt gets better and better every listen. I skip two tracks. Sometimes only one. Depending on my mood. I hate royalty with a passion. Lol... too much to read thru this whole shyt but never ends beat don’t remind ya of the story of o.j. By Jay z? Or I’m bugging?

During the HHID era, he said he had a song with "big dude from Queens", but never said the name. The song didn't come out and nothing else was said about it. There's also "White Man's Paper" with Damian.
There were pics last year with him in the studio with Lauryn. Don't know if he actually recorded songs with them, but he wanted T.I. and Michael Jackson on HHID.
Which streets? The streets in which she supported that Black Men Are The White Men Of The Black Community?
Slight correction. The “Big Queens Dude” song is from the pre-HHID era (called by some the “NASdaq Dow Jones” era) this was when he was still on Columbia and perhaps maybe six months before The I Declare War concert. Nas had announced an album called NASdaq Dow Jones and this album initially spawned the “2 million dollar Neptunes beat”, “Bullet X” (rumored 50 Cent diss) and a few other odds and ends that turned out to be internet rumors and bullshyt.
This was also around the time Nas and Premier did the Scratch Magazine Cover talking about the joint album.
Looking at the chart numbers Nas actually OUTSOLD Beyonce’s Gift Album in physical sales (12,489 Vs 12,145) which is phenomenal seeing as physical copies were only available via his website. Of course streaming is King now, so he got outsold via streaming and Track Equivalent (single song) sales.
