he had so many book deals that never materialized, i linked them above

'slave to a page: the book of rhymes mastermind' was supposed to be his first autobiography (2002 era)

'story of sekou' (2004) was supposed to be a fictional short story that nas was going to write to continue 'sekou story' from street's disciple

'it ain't hard to tell' was a 2012 era autobiography

it was already mentioned here but artists when they write books (or even do interviews) lose their mystique, but the effort of drafting out an memoir privately can help Nas turn some of those pages into records, even if the book stays unreleased. people be digging thru these pages to see if there was any incriminating evidence on others like what happened with prodigy's book and the book would be less epic without the inclusion of some of these spicy details that isn't really supposed to be told out there like that. plus, he would have to smooth over the details on what happened with cormega, nature, quan, az, lake, nashawn, etc not blowing up outside of 50 cent...nas was already somewhat writing his autobiography with his tracks talking about 40-16, etc and he would probably have to limit his autobiography up to 1995 before things got messy in the record industry with those manufactured beefs to sell records and 'divide and conquer' corporate strategies of cornering the market to make mainstream rap sound less intellectual today


My personal theory is that Nas saw the negative feedback that Prodigy’s book got in the hood and he deaded his own. People forget that Prodigy book brought up a LOT of dirt and bad feelings including from Nas himself. Once P came home Nas and Mobb Deep were working together heavily so much that Prodigy was touting a Nas/Mobb Deep album and once the book dropped ALL that talk ceased and Nas said in an XXL interview he wasn’t feeling what Prodigy said in the book.

Now if Prodigy’s stories caused issues, IMAGINE what a Nas book would do to Queensbridge. I don’t think he wants to reopen past wounds, especially now that he’s cool with almost everybody in QB now

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
for those collecting

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Practice (feat. Nas) [Both Verses].mp3

Black Star - JGB (feat. Nas & Common).mp3

Heart_Sweepers_NAS_csik_mix_1.mp3

Black Star - JGB (feat. Nas)

i probably need to archive my 2 Nas youtube channels and start another Nas channel by now...too many videos at risk of being lost forever if I end up getting strikes out the blue...but at the same time, there's not that many old videos to repost and the new ones have licensing issues...the ones on IG/twitter takes forever to dig up and accumulate

Man Props on this Nas podcast… not even 2 mins into the first episode and we getting gems…
Jay has gotten away with a bunch of trash. He did an album with prime R Kelly and that music came out trash. Nas wouldn’t have gotten away with that.

That podcast is a pure Gem

The only stuff on sale was the msg / nas / knicks merch - 2 hoodies, 2 tshirts and a hat from what i could see. I didn't bother with the hat. I'm glad I got there early because the line was crazy soon as I finished.

Here are some pics of the merch for those interested

It never gets brought up because it's trash and it's not like BP2 is viewed favorably as a whole either so those songs don't get brought up. Even some of the better songs from that album are hardly mentioned because that album is average and worse because it followed up a classic.

Yo Juicy J always rides for Nas, its wild thats his favorite rapper.
Even that silly controversy a few years back when Juicy was like he wanted to do a Verzuz with Nas and it was all this South vs East babble on Twitter, people dont reaize he said cause he rocks with Nas and wanted to show love to both catalogue

Yo the Serch or whoever is handling the catalogue is going hard lately liscening Nas songs on trailers, this is like the 3rd one in the last month or so I seen with his music in it (John Wick and Foreman movie the others)


Nas music STAYS in movie/TV/ESPN going back almost a decade.
