I actually want him to do a small venue for the songs he NEVER does in shows. Now knowing Nas he probably doesn't remember the lyrics like that but a playlist like:

Silent Murder
We Will Survive
Street Dreams Remix
You're Da Man
Book of Rhymes
Drunk By Myself
Amongst Kings
Testify :lolbron:
STAY :ahh:
Trust
Etc

These kinda joints. Tiny Desk would be a good venue for this. Will never ever happen tho :mjcry:


I actually saw him perform Silent Murder AND his verse from Verbal Intercourse during the Hip Hop Is Dead tour

I've been listening to "Victory" for days now, and I already listened to it twice today. Nas' verse was perfect. It had everything you could want from him. He took what would normally be a generic radio-friendly "I am a champion" song and made it special.

Someone else would have said something about being a fighter like Ali or Rocky and had some motivational advice about never giving up. But Nas went above that and showed you what a champion looked like. :wow:

I was able to scratch a Nas/John Legend collaboration off the list of artists I wanted to hear on a song together. They delivered, although in my mind the song would've been produced by Kanye, but The Inkredibles (Lee Majors) delivered. Potent Nas verse, John Legend being Legend, and big, epic sounding production was crazy.

For anybody still bytching about Nature not being on Full Circle


On ‘Full Circle’, you reunite your hip-hop group The Firm. However, Nature, who stepped in for Cormega for the group’s only studio record, 1997’s ‘The Album’, wasn’t included – did you have a conversation with him about getting involved?
“No. This was all about the original guys because we never got a chance to see what the album would have sounded like. Nature got the chance to do a whole album. He got a chance to work with [Dr.] Dre. I brought him in there. I was trying to make him the next guy. It wasn’t so much of him replacing Mega; it was more me reaching out to people who I thought had talent and who I wanted to put in the game. Mega never got that chance.
