Nas ain’t letting Hit Boy rap on HIS album lol.


C’mon now lets be real. When’s the last time somebody who wasn’t a respected lyricist or top rap name guested on a Nas album. Nas isn’t going to go from rapping with Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Game, and Snoop Dogg to.....Hit Boy:mjlol:

True! I think it was Quan on SD. I wonder if Nas got songs with Lupe and Big Sean since he was recently seen in the studio with them?

I had a thought, in 2014/2015 "The Seasons" dropped where Nas rapped over a Dilla beat. There was something going around about a "Season of Nasir" or "Seasons of Nasir". There was even what looked to be a hook that went "hands in the air, it's the season of Nasir" from a tweet (that may be in this thread).

Theory:

Nas did an EP worth of material with different producers (one EP each with one producer) and it was all a part of a collection (Seasons of Nasir) and it was what Nas was working on or may still be working on. I say this because he dropped an album of 7 songs produced by Kanye and it is titled Nasir. There's another EP or album with Hit Boy that is coming. Nas spoke on an album with Swizz that exists. He also revealed that he had something in the works with Timbaland and No I.D.

I remember news about Tim and Swizz. I remember RZA at one point too. After LIG, I don’t really remember a lot about No ID. It is a good idea to work with a single producer on a few tracks and really get them to focus on you and a unique vibe for your project but I think you do that and take the very best from those sessions to formulate your album.

Imagine a series of album/EP with the seasons concept :

Summer (produced by Hit-Boy)
Fall (produced by No I.D.)
Winter (produced by The Alchemist)
Spring (produced by DJ Premier)

:ahh:

One note on Seasons. DJ Houseshoes, who is a Detroit legend who worked closely with Dilla, kinda shat on that song. He later mentioned Dilla did a beat for Nas, and he physically gave it to Run The Jewels' DJ to hand to Nas. This was back when RTJ were on Mass Appeal. Dunno what era the beat was recorded in but Dilla had tried to give it to Nas at some point in life.
