Public Enemy and YG both just released new songs that fit the theme. I hope Nas doesn't just do War Against Love, which also kinda fits the theme and was technically a single from his last project.
I hope it's something new. Even a freestyle would be cool.
You literally beat me to it! I was JUST about to come in and tell everyone to temper their expectations because I think he might perform War Against Love.
If he does I won’t be mad at it. War Against Love was one of my top 5 favorite tracks from LT2, it fits the theme and is current to the times we live in today, and its dope as fukk.
Again, I don’t personally think Nas is ready to drop this summer due to not being able to tour a new album and promote to its fullest potential. And I also HIGHLY doubt he’d show up to an award show just to freestyle. Nas is above “Freestyling” on tv at this juncture in his career.
Am I going to say no to a new single and new album to shortly follow? Of COURSE not! But let us PLEASE not forget that Nas been feeding up pretty good the last few years. He dropped Nasir in 2018 (still DISGUSTINGLY underrated in my opinion) and then followed with LT2 last year. Thats two straight albums a year apart, now imagine the LAST time Nas dropped THREE albums in three years? You’d have to go back to 01-02 when Stillmatic/Lost Tapes/Gods Son all dropped within a 12 month period.
So all i’m saying is that we should just be cool until Sunday (I guess Saturday since he’ll be at Essence Fest) and not get TOO hyped over the prospects of a new single
