Its obvious he has no inspiration all his other businesses he's got going just not into the music:manny:

Its kinda wild right?
I remember someone saying on these boards Nas would be around as this older artist still dropping albums and performing in his 80s like an old blues singer or Bob Dylan cause its in his soul to just be an artist but not really.
Maybe hes also just put off with the numbers his last album did after being such an above average to strong seller

I wonder if seeing how Kendrick and Jay did this year makes him feel some type of way, it should motivate him and just rap about the stuff going on int he world over No ID and Salaam beats and that would be good enough

1). Nas himself said that (regarding rapping until he’s 80)

2). Nas has no reason to be put off by his last album sales, as he debuted at number 1 for the third straight time and went Gold. The album was also amongst the most critically acclaimed Hip Hop albums of 2012 and as nominated for 4 Grammys.

3). Nas’s history has ALWAYS pointed to him to putting out albums when he feels like it. When he’s rushed you get Nastardamus, when he’s focused you get Stillmatic. He moves to the beat of his own drum. If Nas didn’t feel no type of way about Jay and DMX putting out albums back in the day, he’s not gonna feel no type of way about Kendrick and Jay putting out albums in 2017

Towards the end Premo mentions that he worked with Nas 3 months ago on multiple joints, but they didn't finish because Nas went on tour. He did say they're still texting very often tho, so maybe it happens...
