30:22 Swizz talking about the Nas album.


Thanks. It starts a couple minutes before that at 28:00.

1. Nore says Busta told him that Swizz has the illest Nas Verse or Album (Nore can't remember which one he said) since Illmatic. Swizz replies by saying, "there's both of those". After being pressed by Nore, Swizz says the album is better than NASIR.

2. Swizz says the album is not better than Illmatic of course but fans of Illmatic will appreciate that same zone of a poet in his prime.

3. RZA is not associated with the Swizz project. That's for a different project.

4. The Nas, Jay, DMX, Jada track hasn't been released because although they are the most talented, they are also some the most complicated artists. Lol (clearance issues, possibly)

5. Swizz didnt want to talk much more about the project cause that's for Nas to talk about. Nore implied that's coming (I guess Nas will eventually be on Drink Champs to speak about it).

An album where Swizz simply curates the beats would be perfect. I'm not a fan of him as a producer but there's no question that he has an ear for dope shyt and understands what his favorite artists sound best over. That Echo track doesn't even have drums...yet it works. Whoever said it feels like a high budget Roc Marciano beat is on point. That drumless stuff is a wave I would have never said I wanted to hear Nas over but it just came out perfect.

Just give me an album of Swizz picking Alch, Just Blaze, Q-Tip, Terrace Martin, 9th Wonder etc beats for Nas and I'll be happy.
