Official Nas Thread

[prophecypro]

Im a little curious about what Nas is gonna be rapping about

There was a lot of stuff and is a lot of stuff in the general culture I feel he could have talked about in a woke era but given everyone's already talked about it and he himself had a album generally coverng that stuff a decade back, it feels like repeated ground. I dont know if talking about entrepenurship is inspiring enogh to him even though he did a good job of it on The Sickness and Nas album done

He probably wants to talk about Kelis and his son on right now and I got a feeling because he just goes with what he feels thats gonna come up.....but even if his rhymes are amazing about it, I feel like the critics are gonna have their knives out for him in this era if he tries. They're probably gonna unfairly mark this album down even either way. I just got a feeling the association with Ye in his current state plus the Kelis thing means there's gonna be extra points deducted. There's no way around it, criticism nowadays is affected by personal things in an artists life.

We'll know more about the album in two weeks if the Pusha T one does drop on the 25th.

Man Nas fans ain't waited six years for an EP...unless the EP is an appetizer for an album. I like Ye giving Nas beats but I'm not fukking with Nas being marketed like he's Ye's artist with his goofy ass album rollouts, the Nas movement bigger than that

Hope the beat snippet currently presented is for Kanye album

 

[JustCKing]

7 songs confirmed

I stand corrected.

 

[Trace]

I'm hoping that this isn't the whole tracklist and just what he produced.. unless that is a convincing thoroughly solid ass 7 track album.. he did make Illmatic with 9.

Again Keep in mind:

This Nas album on June 15 or whenever its dropping isnt like a proper Nas album. Its like all these albums are Kanye albums with them being featured across several tracks than one


Hell Im willing to bet Nas came in to drop verses, did a bunch of verses for what he thought was Kanye album for different songs, maybe even ghostwrite some shyt and did reference recordings........aaaand Kanye is deciding to make a whole Nas album under his imprint


Im telling you this is exactly it

Kanye does unconvential releases now with the streaming services. How many versions of Pablo was released?

Sounds plausible, but Nas did have recording sessions in Wyoming.

I don't think Nas would let Kanye use his name to troll people on this level though. I mean, fans have been waiting for a Nas album for years and Kanye comes out and says new Nas album June 15.

I would agree with this if Nas had already dropped an album recently. But I doubt Nas would make this his "grand return" if it wasn't done properly and to his liking. Unless Nas is some unaware and oblivious dude, he has to know that fans are greatly anticipating his music and expect greatness. I think Kanye was providing some great production for Nas and Nas felt it should be its own album. Ye probably informed Nas about a 7-track plan with other artists and it made sense if they already had enough songs recorded.

I also think a solo album produced by Kanye is Nas' way of easing the pressure from the false narrative surrounding his beat selections.
