Official Nas Thread

The Swizz Beatz album has leaked

And Im happy to say the Nas track sounds beautiful and the beat is fire. Its doesnt sound like a Swizz track at all,, very soulful.
It actually sounds like how Kanye should have sound.

His verses are solid street narrative, he uses the same verse he did on that Timbaland snippet beat in the second verse from 2015.
I kinda wished the 3rd verse was a bit stronger he kinda ends it abruptly and talks a bit


Reminds me of Queen Story OG version, Good Morning and We Major I just wished it was a little bit more polished

Only the thing annoying is Swizz on it at the start. Hes just talking his chorus type talk for what seemed like 30 seconds and wanted him to fukk off and hurry for Nas to start

This makes me wonder if Nas and timbo have issues because of Tim leaking that snippet and also Tim said he has a very dope song with Nas jay and Timberlake


This Swiss song isn’t ILL though

I was hoping to hear that Timbo track one of these days.

Might still leak in full one day. Its really up to Timbaland.
Dont forget we've heard other tracks leak that had Nas using verses that he ended up doing on other tracks (The Swizz Beatz track Top Down which Swizz leaked in 2011 sounds like he did it in 2006 and had verses from That bonus track off HHID the N and the beat was used by Swizz himself on his 07 album. There was also War is Necessary from the GTA soundtrack that used the verses from Esco Lets Go, and The Courthouse joint which had verses used from Be a ****** too and Like Me)

If anything now tha Nas has used the verses hear, the timbo joint may finally leak on mixtapes and the E-streets later on or in 2019

Not a Swizz fan at all but I'm giving him props on this Echo shyt with Nas and he has a point on the link above. He has the opportunity to put Nas on the types of tracks he hasn't been on in a while. I can did that. Maybe their project soon. I hope there is some shyt comparable to Echo.

nah I just think they recorded and Nas sat on the joints, it was up to him to use them or not and for whatever reason he never released an album in the past 6 years.

Maybe he was too focused on the VC business thing, or maybe he was looking for something to spark as a theme for his albums which he couldnt find or something that would take people to pay attention cause he probably felt just an album on its own wasnt enough for buzz.


In that respect I can get why he said yes to Kanye, only problem was he made Nas sit around until the week of the release to finally send him beats and he had to rush out bars with whatever

Yea you sound correct and yea i could tell Nasir was rushed although i still liked not for radio bonjour Adam and Eve and everthing

I would like to hear that Nas jay and Timberlake it’s probably a big record

You know at this point we've heard so much about the mythical Sinatara in the Sands for years, its probably not even a good record or one that maybe Nas felt fit him and thats why he shelved it.

Like if it was 2006-2008 he would have dropped it regardless of quality cause its JT, Timbaland and Jay-Z and Nas and you go "fuk it" but it probably came out of the same sessions as BBC off Magna Carta which was just everyone drunk and Jay saying "Hey lets just do a record guys!"

 

[Figaro]

Echo is dope brehs

But for some reason during the listening....my first thought was....how Roc Maricano would kill this beat, it's like a perfect match.

This probably 1 of the few Swizz beats I've ever fukked with.

 

[Big Mark]

This Echo track makes me want more Nas like this. When he be dropping that old street reminisce shyt just makes me reflect back in old hood days. I appreciate this shyt.

 

[Big Mark]

So Nas was supposed to drop the lost tapes next but now it looks like it’s gonna be a project with some swizz stuff on it. When them lost tapes gonna come yo!

Nah, Nas told Kahled that "Sinatra" was a serious song. So I don't think it was some song they just created out of the MCHG sessions.

Im sure he said that at the time but like its been 5 years and honestly I kinda feel like Nas would get lost on a track like that but I am speculating like anything

Same thing I thought. Lol

 

[spliz]

If Echo is any indication of how the Nas/Swizz album is gonna sound. Than its gonna be WAY better than NASIR.

 

[Thief's Theme]

I don't get it, to me he's rapping almost the same on Nasir as on Echo but it's three verses and little bit quicker pace

I love both, Echo is reminiscing Nas, Nasir is more political, personal

 

[HNIC973]

This type of shyt I wanna Nas rap over not that Nasir shyt
