Official Nas Thread

27 summers ago the goat dropped his debut. I'll have to play the vinyl later after work
Nas was in prime form on this joint
Loved this shyt...wasnt the story behind this that some kid won a beat competition and the winner got to have Nas rap on the winning beat?
either way this one of my favorite loosies from him
“As I circle the table like Babe Ruth
Louisville Slugger in my grip for a fake dude
Bat to the brain with brute force
Splatter my cream velour suit
They hit me with lawsuit
I slip in your whore coupe”
yeah there's videos documenting Nas laying down the vocals on how he even came up with that louisville slugger-babe ruth line
It's a shame redbull canceled their big tune series but a lot of good producers got promotion during its run
the original no-sample version used in the video
dude had the best beats i've heard in a while...people like Fab and Logic rapped on his beats but Nas needs to collab with C-Sick more

^ people slept on these 2 uploads but this was before i joined thecoli...the one where he sings is called "westwood promo"
"it ain't hard to tell" had an OG 1993 version with some added words at the end of the song: Nas tells you it is 1993 @3:17
^ people saw the tagless "True Dialect" and "Livin' It," with 1 tag remaining, right? I know collectors be trying to have everything dirty, CDQ, and tagless, so I was scanning my library on what I had www.reddit.com/r/nas/comments/mhz7ws/to_audiophiles_who_collect_rare_nas_tracks_in_cdq/
^ here's a slightly better version of "The Welcoming"...the quality of the original mixtape rips sometimes is still kinda awful
lol youtube recommended me the last video

I'm not sure if you guys even covered it on your NASIR thread but every song off NASIR is a representation of the 7 sins (There's probably people within Nas' circle who knew ever since Kanye tweeted about it but I annotated it here: Nas - NASIR Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius) Nas was trying to prove a point per song, even though some lines came out awkward or some songs are cut short

We need this in CDQ.
Seriously.
I mean, the acapella exists...all we need to do is find the original sample and lace the vocals with the loop and we'll get it
a lot of the 1999 Nas leaks got remixed for Nastradamus and Lost Tapes...It's as if Nas got the "2Pac Treatment with his posthumous albums" when all his OG beats got remixed with new beats in the Lost Tapes-Era
taking a stab at it ....if the OG track was premiered on the radio in 1998, this might have been one of those Dr. Dre sessions with the Firm...the beat sounds like what Dre might do -- luscious sounds, crisp drums, and grandiose production...this track doesn't sound like it was made for the original I AM...The autobiography sessions...the OG I AM beats vs this track is night and day so this track and the instrumental is probably in the Dr. Dre vault somewhere...if this is the case, someone always rap on Dr Dre beats and he reuses instrumentals sometimes...Dr Dre's vault have been leaking a bit recently
what's the piano sample to The Game Lives on? apparently it samples the Neville Brothers

Fat Joe showed Nas and Illmatic a lot of love on his show the other day. I hope it's no hard feelings from Nas when Fat Joe said what he said to Doja Cat. Joe is a horrible journalist so I think he just worded it wrong lol

All Star
what he say to Doja Cat? Fat Joe talks about his issue with Nas being he didn't notify him he was ending the beef with Jay, but I'm fairly sure it's more because despite him stanning Nas, Nas never brought him into his circle fully and that Carmen said Nas thought Fat Joe was lame

Is he trying to say the version without Ron Isley is better? Am I reading that correct?

I’m talking about what dude said in the Twitter post. He was talking about Project Windows.
there's 3 versions to project windows
1) The Game Lives On with the uncleared sample, no Ron
2) Project Windows with the uncleared sample, with Ron
3) Project Windows with another sample, with Ron
a lot of people say that the OG version #1 with the uncleared sample without Ron is better
I didn't really care for opinions...I was trying to figure out what the original uncleared sample was for project windows/the game lives on
