This was a way Nas could use all that old Sony material. Artist re-make their shyt all the time to own it. He now owns the recordings and not have to bother with Sony if he doesn’t want to. Instead of using the sample, a producer can do a close interpolation, pay far less and not have to deal with sampling.
I wonder whatelse Nas would consider updating in this fashion
Has IWW 25 been remastered? Or just added on the extra tracks?
