Official Nas Thread

[Robbie3000]

My issue is him talking about "Just A Moment" as if it was a massive smash for Nas. It was a great record, that some might even consider classic. Nas has plenty of those. Quan just had the one. The name of the game is to keep delivering, which is what a lot of artists don't understand. Quan had the opportunity of opportunities. Not many artists can say that their first placement was on a Nas song AND it was a single with a video.

I get "Just A Moment" was Quan's song first, but like I said before, the name of the game is to keep delivering. Nas wouldn't be Nas if all we heard was his one verse from "Live At The BBQ" and "Back At The Grill" or he "Halftime" when it dropped on the Zebrahead soundtrack. He kept delivering even when Illmatic wasn't a commercial smash out the gate. His work was appreciated with time and he became one of the GOATs because he kept delivering instead of being one of those "could've been artists playing the blame game".

Quan was naive at that point. If someone exposes your brand to millions of people and you go from unknown to recognized over night, you gotta pay some dues.

Kill it on the first album, come back and renegotiate on the second when you have leverage.

Man that smoke doc was every eye opening

Nas has smoked every song and project he has done this year. No pun intended.

I met a young queen, the little girl asked for my autograph
She said my verse from "Black Girl Lost" made her find her way
She said she got tatted wings on her back
So when she want she can fly away

Black Girl Lost has always been the most under rated Nas song for me...

She said my verse from Black Girl Lost made her find her way

...the way my GOAT IWW song hits so different at 36

Typical day that the Black Girl See coming home wanting more from a college deGree

I hope Nas pulls this off. He deserves it for that classic.

Honestly even if he wins I'll view it more as a lifetime achievement Grammy kinda like when di caprio won the Oscar for the revenant. Kings decease was great and my favorite album this wear but not necessarily the aoty. To me he got really robbed for life is good and the cherry wine song
I hope we'll take it thought

Idk if he trying to slight Esco tbh. He been nominated so much times over the years while this is a first for most of the other artists I think, not sure about Royce.
