That was an idea he floated back in 08.


Said he wanted to do an album with Premier and an album with Dre and drop them on the same day
If nas had followed through in some of the ideas he had in mind in the past he would be even more undeniable than he already is right now :wow:

A Nas Alc album would be crazy, you know he's probably been saving beats for Nas too

imagine Nas over some of those Alfredo or Price of Tea in China beats
Those beats just aren't for me. Nas when the tempo is just right is undeniable. Those loop beats for a full album just don't do it for me.

The more I think about it, the more I want a Nas/Alch record. I'm a huge Alch fan and just a few months ago I would have said nah, they're on different lanes right now sonically. But Alch def understands that a beat that works for one rapper may not work for another. Which is why the Gibbs album is full of drums, whereas when Alch works with Roc Marci the drums are limited.

Still my dream would be Nas re-creating the Illmatic super producer idea - not in terms of using those guys, outside of Premo, but in terms of having the best dudes in a close vicinity working together. Get Hit Boy, Premo, Alch, Statik, Terrace Martin, Salaam, etc and bring them out to Malibu to record for a couple months. Only accept features from guys who come to the studio...so like Ross, Cole, whoever. 13-15 tracks, heavily focused on shyt that can be toured. Bangers, anthems, personal joints, etc.

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother


I was going to eventually archive everything here but it just takes too long...

the 2nd nas channel that I do a lot of miscellaneous shyt reposting on high-copyright-infringement material gets more sub/views and I barely do any work on those videos

I think my main nas channel got shadow-restricted by youtube -- I get views barely from subs nowadays because I was making videos on unreleased Nas and someone probably reported that channel...

so the videos I do work on gets less views and the videos I do shyt reposting gets more views...sure youtube, whatever you say...

Hit Me Slime (Answering Machine skit) it may have been the rapper Nawz from Kool G Rap's Holla Back, which has its own story. did someone name themselves Nawz so when rappers say 'they have a Nas feature' but it doesn't come out, people can instead feature Nawz and tell people they misheard them the first time?

So you saying that wasn’t Nas on the answering machine skit?:ohhh: I remember Nas smoked the original, Holla Back but for removed on the official
