Found some pics on twitter:

I think it was for Illmatic back in 2018. Someome should hit up Hitboy to do one with Nas. That would be sick.

It's official. Nas is the most unreleased/hidden material artist in hip-hop. He's practically Prince now.

I follow hit boys photographer/video guy on IG and on several hashtags under his post with Nas and hit in regards to the kd series. He has put “documentary” in sure the footage it’s there and it’s just about putting it together. It says kd3 doc, but I wonder if they are going the route to add the msg footage to that

They were also filming during NYSOM tour. There were camera men all behind the curtains, in addition to the ones on stage. I wonder if Anything will come of it.

8 from 2002...targeting sony vaults because those wont be on lost tapes
the other guy has yet to reply me
the ultimate seller has def jam vaults, is overcharging, and is keeping his distance, plus these aren't great buys because lost tapes 3 can include those

I appreciate your efforts regardless. I just joined the discord for the songs and pledged $10 (wish I could do more at the moment.)

But hopefully these songs get out either through that or LT3 release (likely not this way but hey). Songs got me curious, especially crabs in a barrel.

just remember the great BIG said this

Source giving Big every award after rating Illmatic higher than RTD made no sense

Common has always openly and proudly spoken of his immense admiration for both Nas and Illmatic. Illmatic is what made Common switch his style up on Resurrection. If you listen to his debut album and Resurrection its like two different artists

"I been rhyming since Common since"

Not sure how true it is but I read somewhere (I think on here) NPR decided not to show the Tiny Desk because not soon after the Kelis allegations came out.

If that’s case, Nas is probably ‘fukk NPR’ and will never do another one

That on top of nikkas bootlegging the album and nikkas wondered why he switched it up next album over. The nikka was even ready to give it a more Illmatic vibe with Marley Marl and that nikka was leaking his unfinished records. Nas was getting done dirty by the same community that called themselves holding Illmatic in such high regard.

I think that's how Mega & Kamakazee ended up On the Real. Nas said he starting hearing other nikkaz on his shyt

Imagine u working with a producer and he's leaking ur fukking records and putting other nikkas on em. Jay stopped fukkin wit Timbo for a minute cause of something similar but not even close to what Marley Marl was doing.

Yep I'm sure Marley intentions was to give Mega & Kamakazee more of a look on some QB love but run that shyt by Nas first at least

One of the versions was a promo for a radio show too lol. Just a wild fukk up lol. Has Marley ever addressed or tried to explain this btw?

On The Real is such a dope record too, it would have been a classic track if it had come out properly on an album. It would have been dope if the album ultimately became a mixture of the Trackmasters stuff, Havoc stuff, with some Marley beats like that. I've heard Premo say he only had time to do one beat due to the timeline of things. I wish that album got more "making of" reporting and documentary stuff.

That's a fair assumption. The Kelis allegations hit about a month after these pictures.

LES said Nas used to forget and leave tapes of tracks all through QB. So everyone had unfinished versions of songs...

That was for Illmatic.
