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—

I love how Tyler sees what I see in Street's Disciple: From a lyrical standpoint, Nas was in another zone. His flows, his delivery......."Street's Disciple" is one of the nastiest songs he ever made. I wonder how many takes he needed for that. :ohhh:

And the fact that even Nas was like :dwillhuh: at him even mentioning Street’s Disciple lets me know that his catalog doesn't always get that kind of appreciation. There's Illmatic and then........that other stuff he made. "Ether," I guess. :unimpressed:

He did a dope interview.

A lot of people don't give respect to Khaled, but that dude has consistently had the realest rappers on his albums (Nas, Face, Kiss etc. )

Nas been on like 6 khaled albums. We need another one :ahh:

Khaled with the classic Nas Album Done :salute:

Nas gifted Khaled these three gems:








Then there's "I'm On", which was Khaled only got because Nas wouldn't make it a single. Would've been a dope single:

I have that issue. Tyler was legit buggin with some of those questions. He asked Nas if he liked cheese lmao

NGL...I can see how this would happen if me or any fan met Nas :mjlol:

You wouldn't want to be like "hey Nas....I love your music man, Illmatic is my favorite album" because you know he's heard that line a million times over the last 25 years. But you can't say "IWW is my shyt" because he's heard that too. Then you don't wanna be like "hey Nas I was just bumping Nas Is Like! I love your shyt" either. But you don't want to hit him with some random shyt like "ayo Nas, p*ssy Killz is underrated as fukk" because he might think you're a weirdo.

And then you just keep coming up with ideas and deciding not to say it before you finally settle with "ay Nas...what's your favorite cheese to put on sandwiches breh..."
:mjlol:
