Nas was appreciative of the questions. Just ask him the right questions and he can be as interesting and forthcoming as anybody.

Yea. If we can get an interviewer to hop off Illmatic’s dikk for a few moments and focus on the rest of his 30 year catalog. Lol. Which is why he also appreciated Tyler The Creators interviews. He legit was shocked when Tyler said one of his fav songs was Nazareth Savage.

Tyler, the Creator: God’s Son is my favorite album by you.

Nas: Aw, thanks. Why? ’Cause the word “God”?

Tyler, the Creator: Nah, it’s like, I got… Okay. That came out in 2003, around the XXL issue with you and, like, Jungle and them.

Nas: Yeah.

Tyler, the Creator: The [January/February] issue. And I bought it with that. I don’t know. That shyt just... Like, “Heaven” is my shyt on there.

Nas: Aw, man, thanks.

Tyler, the Creator: “Zone Out.” Your verse on there was fukkin’ retarded.

Nas: Word? Thanks, man.

Tyler, the Creator: That whole album was just legit.

Nas: Appreciate it.

Tyler, the Creator: And my second is probably Street’s Disciple.

Nas: Get the fukk out of here.

Tyler, the Creator: Yeah.

Nas: Because it’s a Last Supper thing?

Tyler, the Creator: Nah, nah. It’s just, like, the beats on there. “Thief’s Theme” is my favorite fukkin’ song from that album. That shyt is fukkin’ retarded. I love the video, too.

Nas: Appreciate it, man.

Tyler, the Creator: I always forget the fukkin’ name… “Nazareth Savage”?

Nas: Yeah.

Tyler, the Creator: You fukkin’—

Nas: Wow, wow.

Tyler, the Creator: You fukkin’ spazzed on that. I don’t hear people talk about it that much, so…

Nas: I was about to say nobody ever mentioned that record to me, and shyt.

Tyler, the Creator: That shyt is, like, legit as fukk.

Nas: Nobody ever did. Word.

Tyler, the Creator: I love that shyt.

Nas: I mean, I can see how you can get that, man. That’s…your shyt. I see what you’re doing, you know? Your shyt is, like, honest, like, real. You feel like you question, like…religion? You feel like you’re here to say something, too. And who the hell was King James, you know? I mean, how is he different from who we are today, or whatever? So we tell our story today, the way we see it.

Tyler, the Creator: That’s legit. I think that’s why I like Street’s Disciple. Like, you just spitting on there. Like, you just fukkin’ just going in on each fukkin’ track. Even the one with Maxwell and shyt. Like, that’s a party record, but you were just going in.

Nas: Yo, that’s crazy, ’cause I think I might have been the first hip-hop dude to get Maxwell on a track, man. We were label mates. And I’ve always been a fan of his shyt, too.

Tyler, the Creator: It came out legit, though. It came out, then I bought Stillmatic, like, a week after it dropped. That shyt was legit as fukk. It’s weird. I listen to it all the time. And now I’m, like, sitting here. It’s cool, though.

Nas: It’s crazy, dawg. ’Cause I wouldn’t think that someone your age would even have time to check some shyt out from—
