The fact Nas still hasn't done a whole album with Premier will never not be disheartening...especially considering Premier has said on record countless times he'd do it at the drop of a dime. Why chase a "current" sound or whatever else you want to experiment with when you have such a huge, legendary name and so does Premier...and that brand of hip hop is GLOBAL. Nas could tour and kill off that album overseas for the rest of his career, call it "Real Hip Hop" or sumn, :ohhh:

No doubt, of course, that's Nas. I wasn't saying it like that...I'm just saying this album wouldn't be a miss or a dud or whatever I assume he thinks it would be. Why else wouldn't he do it when he knows everybody wants that? Kanye is a huge, billion dollar name but...ehh, that album is forgotten already. That would never happen with a Premier and Nas joint

I don't know. And nothing is for sure. These are the collab albums that fans have asked for from Nas over the years. Preemo, AZ, Common, Scarface, Havoc, Pete Rock, Alchemist. None has been done. Nas has his reasons. Don't know what they are. But he keeps his cards close to his vest.

Nas does what he wants. It works for him


But the last time Premo spoke on it was in like 2013 he said Nas asked him specifically if they do the album would Premo go on tour with him and he said yes. Nas then told him he was trying to get off Def Jam before they do the album.


So now that Nas is off Def Jam and 100% with Mass Appeal we’ll see

I'm not familiar with Hit-boy's work. Can anyone recommend some of his best work? I was listening to LIG the other day and still wish that Nas followed that production formula one more time.

At this point this Primo/Nas album is basically a card they both have up their sleeves and can play at anytime to shake things up and get all the rap game, fans, peers... hyped in a matter of seconds as soon as they officially announce it.:youngsabo:

I bet he will gather up the old production crew with his final album. Whenever that happens. That would be a perfect way to retire down the line, with producers he started with.

Hit boy is a very talented producer. He is a good mix of new and older production. He is very diverse with it. Sonically, he is going to have on modern hip hop production. Its a good mixture in my opinion. Especially if it's just a few songs.
