Official Nas Thread

[JustCKing]

Am I the only one hearing a guitar on the outro of "30"? Listening to the Dolby version on Apple, it sounds different from the regular version.

If Nas was to put a countdown ticker up..shyt would be nuts..lmao.

He should do a live IG and sell the music thru a link while discussing it

 

[Surreal]

Been at work at the office all day

Let me start streaming 30

If a new album actually drops on Friday I'm impressed with their stance of doing zero promotion in advance, either Nas really prefers it this way and he is able to do whatever the fukk he wants or they are more or less satisfied with the previous results

Doubt its coming tomorrow. Not because they COULDN’T mind you but i think they’re actually finishing up the album. I think its coming in August.

They usually do at least a little bit of promo. KD1 was announced two weeks ahead of time. KD2 one week ahead. KD3 three weeks ahead. Magic was of course, the anomaly but that was meant to be a surprise.

Depends

If you purchased the album via iTunes then streaming via Apple Music doesn’t count. If you HAVEN’T purchased the album via iTunes then streaming on Apple Music should count.


Me since I purchase via itunes, I either Shazaam the song a couple times or i listen via Tidal or sometimes YouTube

He hasn’t said anything else to my knowledge. I think he may have purchased some emojis but nothing concrete on Reddit beyond what was said a few weeks ago

yea, this is why shyt like this gets missed. I did the same shyt last time and played it all day…. I downloaded it because I pay my monthly Apple Music shyt…. Then I went into search on iTunes not in my library or playlist but on iTunes and played it a bunch…. Didn’t even know his stream would be counted using some shyt like shazaam or YouTube.. lol

Real nikkas know


And THATS what Nas will always have over Jay-Z. Yes Jay is a master at playing the game. But if you really look at it. Jay had Angie Martinez and Hot 97 in his back pocket, and he STILL lost the battle. Jay’s had Elliot Wilson on his payroll for twenty years, and Elliot STILL had to admit he was wrong about his initial opinions on It Was Written. Jay had the most overhyped and overpraised verse of 2022, and yet KD3 was STILL the most acclaimed rap album of the year.

All of Jay’s money and status cannot buy him the respect that Nas has gained simply from being himself. No matter what the breakfast club says. Or B.Dot tweets. Or Dream Hampton accuses. Or Vlad beats into the ground. Nas will always prevail because his TALENT is God given
